I received product from Collage.com to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own.  Thinking up great gift ideas can be REALLY hard.  I tend to lean towards custom gift ideas as I know that I personally love them.  Plus, I've seen more happy tears shed from those types of gifts than anything else, especially if there are photos involved.  These types of gifts are perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Christmas, and more.  So today, I'm thrilled to share my latest Collage.com Read more [...]

Thank you to Yukon Glory for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. A couple of months ago, we began remodeling our kitchen. With all of the chaos, we have turned to our BBQ grill to prepare a lot of our food. During the summer, we normally do a lot of our cooking outdoors, but this year, we have done even more. We have had to become creative to keep our meals fun. Thankfully, I received BBQ Grill Tools and Accessories from Yukon Glory Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Yesterday, was the first official day of fall.

Coveroo provided me with product to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. These days, it feels like we live in a cookie cutter world.  When I head to town and hit a few stores, everyone has the exact same stuff.  Actually, it's a little bit of a joke with our family as practically every single female owns the exact same pair of popular branded sandals.  So in summer, we have to be careful as to where we put our shoes because they are so easy to mix up.  The same thing happens with Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. All opinions are my own. Probably the most concerning aspect of Nutrisystem for Ryan before he decided to try it, was the food. He considers himself a picky eater. So although the Nutrisystem uniquely you plan has over 150 menu options, he was worried that he wouldn't like the food. Signing up for a full month can feel like a big commitment if you aren't sure if you'll like the food! So if you are a picky eater, I recommend placing an A La Carte order. This Read more [...]

I used to consider myself a fairly prepared person.  I had extra pens, paper, cash, and many other things in the car and on hand at all times.  My cousin, on the other hand, is ultra prepared.  She carries an entire first aid kit with her wherever she goes among many other useful things that come in handy during emergencies.  However, ever since I became a mom, I realized that you can NEVER be totally prepared.  There's the time we forgot diapers and spare clothes and baby decided to have a Read more [...]
