I was sent toys from A Great Life Brand for my gift guide. All opinions are my own. AGreatLife is a brand that offers toys, games and entertainment items for kids or for families to enjoy together. They have items for babies on up through adults! I'm going to feature quite a few items from AGreatLife to give you an idea of the range of their items, but this is not everything they offer. Check out the AGreatLife website for their full line. Kids Musical instruments 9 piece percussion starter Read more [...]

   Thank you to Obermeyer for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  I have never owned anything that is made from wool before, but I had always assumed it was itchy and uncomfortable. I also had never heard of Merino wool before. I love sweaters in the winter, they are cozy and cute and the fit pregnant bellies so well it seems! The Carla Knit Sweater from Obermeyer is the perfect addition to any women's wardrobe! With slim fit stitchings Read more [...]

Thank you to Klee Naturals for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My two daughters love playing with make-up and hair products. I have no problem with them playing dress-up, but I do have a problem with the chemicals that are in traditional products. That is why I get them Klee Naturals. Klee Naturals offers tweens a fun, gentle and safe line of cosmetics, hair care, and body products. Klee Naturals products are free of sulfates, polypropylene Read more [...]

I was sent a Web Riderz swing for the 2017 holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. More of my nieces and nephews are reaching ages where they are not quite teens. They aren't done playing with toys entirely, but more and more toys are on their "that's lame" list. Kids in roughly that 11-13 age range are so tricky to shop for! I love encouraging kids to get outside, but it gets harder to entertain kids while they are outside as they get older. I noticed that my 11 & 12-year-old Read more [...]

I received product from Outside Inside Gifts to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. I can hardly believe that the first whole week of December is already gone.  We still don't even have our tree  yet!  Last week was just way too cold here in Minnesota to venture out with all five kiddos but we are hoping that this Sunday will warm up.  At least enough for us to brave the outdoors and go get our tree.  This will be our second year with a real tree and everyone is excited.  We had Read more [...]

Thank you to Lazy one for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own.  Family traditions are such an awesome concept. I read a long time ago that family traditions help your child feel secure and accepted regardless of what might be happening at school or in their friend circle. In all honesty the idea of family traditions helping kids feel included and confidant makes total sense, you know that you have a special group of people that do a special few things during Read more [...]

I was sent a GoalZero solar panel for holiday gift guide inclusion. All opinions are my own. We are all so used to having technology on us all the time. With tablets and phones on us at all times, we don't think about keeping track of a physical map, or a phone book. Getting stranded with a phone without any battery life left, would be pretty tough for most of us! GoalZero Solar Panels are an eco-friendly way to keep your items charged. Simply leave the solar panels in the sun, and then charge Read more [...]
