Thank you to Educational Insights for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Statistics are showing just how few women go into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. The numbers are alarming. Many people, myself included, feel that we need to do more to encourage young girls to explore these careers. One way we can do that is through "play". Educational Insights has a playful line called Nancy B's Science Club. Nancy Read more [...]

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network. My garbage company also offers "all in one" recycling. We get a bin that looks just like our trash bin, except we can put anything recyclable in it including glass, wood, cardboard, paper, most plastics, and so on. It's a very simple way to recycle and looking in my bin each month reminds me how much my household really goes through. Most months our recycling bin is primarily cardboard boxes from online shopping. While I feel good about Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. All opinions are my own. Something that was difficult for Ryan before he lost 60 pounds with Nutrisystem was clothing. He used to wear baggy or slightly oversized clothing because he didn't feel comfortable wearing clothes that were slimmer fitting. When he was a very young adult, it wasn't a problem because that clothing was more in style. However, it got to a point maybe around 2013 or so, where it was unusual to see a 20-something guy wearing wide leg, baggy Read more [...]

Thank you to girltrunks for providing swimwear for review in exchange for my honest opinion. I have never been a big fan of swim suits. Then I had a baby. Since then, I've liked swim suits even less. I am self conscious of my thighs, my behind and my post-baby belly. When I heard about girltrunks I was excited to give them a try. girltrunks makes swimwear with women in mind - all women, no matter height, weight, shape or age. I chose the Haltered States top in Ocean Blue Paisley and the Read more [...]

I was sent Hi-Chew candy for review. All opinions are my own. The back to school season can be chaotic for parents and kids alike. There are so many emotions involved for most kids. On one hand, getting back into a strict sleep schedule and routine can be difficult. On the other, most kids are eager to spend more time with their friends again. As a kid I loved school shopping, too. Outside of my birthday or Christmas, it was often the only time we got new clothing. It was fun to get to pick out Read more [...]

I love babies!  All my life, I've been the one who would give up going to friends houses to babysit.  I'd be the one you'd find on the sidelines at family parties snuggling whoever the newest member of the family was.  In part, since the doctors suggested we shouldn't have any more biological children due to my c-sections, that was why we finally took the leap and entered our foster care journey.  My heart is with babies.  Of course, I completely adore our kiddos as they grow too!  There's Read more [...]
