Thank you to Vital Protiens for providing product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own.  With so many workout supplements on the market its hard to decide which is really healthy or best for your body. Of course minimal ingredients is a must to ensure you aren't getting bunch of yucky fillers weighing your body and digestive tract down. Another thing to look for is naturally sourced ingredients, things you understand, recognize as food and hopefully can pronounce. Vital Proteins Read more [...]

Thank you to onanoff for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. A few months ago I partnered with onanoff to bring you BuddyPhones. You can see that review HERE. BuddyPhones are volume limiting headphones made specifically for children. BuddyPhones use a built-in sound control circuit to cap volume levels at 85 decibels, which is the recommended level from many auditory health organizations in the US and EU and others including the World Health Organization. Our Read more [...]

I received the Boulevard Clicktight Seat from Britax in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own.

Sponsored post. We plan to purchase a new (to us) car sometime this fall or winter. We are a single-vehicle household which I realize sounds crazy to most but with us both working from home and not having children it's rare that we both need to go in different directions at the same time. It saves us a lot of money! Anyway, we only have one vehicle at the moment and it was purchased way back in December of 2007! We've gotten extremely lucky that it's been a very dependable car. Naturally, we are Read more [...]

Thank you to GSI  Outdoors and RALLT for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to myself! I was paid to insert a link into this post. My family always went camping when I was growing up. Whether it was at a state park, or a small family owned campground I had fond memories of camping growing up. With our kids being so young last year we only made one camping trip but now that they are both bit older we have decided to camp more often! Last years camping trip Read more [...]

Can you believe it's almost August already!  We're right in the middle of preparing for our church's annual VBS next week which means that summer really is coming to an end.  Once this highlight for the kids is over, the remaining few weeks fly by especially fast.  So as we continue to prepare for this big change, today's stop for our Back-To-School highlight is with The Northwest.  As I browsed through their site, I was thrilled to see all that they offered to help kids get ready.  From blankets Read more [...]

Thank you to ThunderWorks for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  Great Danes are known to be a bit skittish. Ours has fallen into that same arena. Since he was born in the late fall he spent a lot of time indoors during the winter with not a lot of time to socialize. Now that he's much bigger in the summer time he's nervous about new people and new dogs. We try to take him out as much as possible now that its nice but still run into skittish times. We Read more [...]

I was sent some Five Star And Mead products to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. I can hardly believe that July is nearing an end already!  That means that August and Back-To-School time will be here soon.  Neither the kids nor I are quite ready to have our summer end yet but the calendar doesn't seem to care.  The days just keep fading away and pass by much too quickly.  So as we start to gear up, it was time to check out some new and innovative products from Five Star and Read more [...]

Thank you to NaturOli for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  I consider hair care a life long search. I find some shampoo and conditioner I like and then move on to the next after a few months of it building up on my hair. My shampoo search is always to find something natural with the least amount of chemicals in it. NaturOli has a shampoo that meets those guidelines. With a base of soap nuts I can be rest assured that the soap portion cleaning my Read more [...]

I received the Floatimini Rash Guard & Capris to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. This summer, I've made it a special point to spend extra time outdoors with the kids.  Many times, this has come in the form of heading to local parks and playgrounds.  Sometimes there are splash pads or water options available as well which makes the trip a little more fun.  But either way, keeping the kids safe from the sun is always on my mind.  While I do utilize sunblock too, I love having Read more [...]
