Thank you to Tree Hut Designs for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  My husband and I are really into nature. We love being outdoors and enjoying nature any time we can. We also love to incorporate natural earth made products into our lives as much as possible. My husband and I actually traveled across the country to Oregon to get married in beautiful lush forest beside a waterfall. To match our tastes we had our wedding rings created Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. I am provided with a Nutrisystem meal plan in return for sharing regular updates. All opinions are my own. I've enjoyed going to yard and garage sales for years. I've never held my own sale, until this week. I realized that Ryan had a lot of clothing that has not fit in a long time due to his weight loss that resulted from Nutrisystem. I have lost weight myself and had clothing to get rid of for the same reason. I also just had odds and ends of other things that Read more [...]

They are top rated by EWG with a rating of 1. Thinksport & Thinkbaby Safe Sunscreens are Read more [...]

Thank you to Best Hair Store for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself.  Growing up my hair was long my entire life. I really clung to it as I felt long hair was more feminine, fit my face well and my husband preferred it. I began seeing tons of awesome short hair styles and thought to myself "Am I seriously afraid of cutting my hair?". I realized I was afraid to cut my hair and that was at the same moment I decided I most certainly was going Read more [...]

Thank you to Antsy Pants for providing me product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  Pretend play is some of the most important play a child can do! At our house we've recently created a farmers market stand fit with a cash register, pretend food, grocery bags and a cart. Our children absolutely love this play style and we get to learn so much about them through this open ended play. Hearing my son explain that the food he's selling is locally grown and the flavors he Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. When people learn that I am actively losing weight, one of the first things they say is something to the effect of, "I wish I had that kind of willpower." After hearing it a dozen or so times, I began thinking about willpower. I found an article that discusses weight loss willpower on Nutrisystem's website. The article gives seven suggestions on how to increase Read more [...]

Thank you to Sensory Goods for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I suffer from panic attacks. When I am in the midst of an attack, I feel as though the world around me is completely crashing. Even though I know perfectly well that the world is NOT crashing, I have an overwhelming feeling that I have lost control of everything. Panic attacks aren't just emotional; the list of physical symptoms includes but isn't limited to- increased Read more [...]

Our kids are jumping for joy over the fact that summer is just around the corner.  They have been repeatedly asking when we'll be able to have a camp fire, sleep outside in our tent, and even give camping a try.  While some of these activities will happen more than others, we do plan on taking part in all three this year.  But there were a few things that I was on the hunt for to help with our summer fun and Rio Brands came to my rescue. Sending a big thank you to Rio Brands for this awesome Read more [...]

With Mother's Day now past, it's time to start thinking about how to celebrate those special fathers in our lives.  While my husband's dad passed away last year, we still have lots of great men in our lives that do an amazing job in fatherly rolls.  So as I start to think about what kinds of hobbies they have, their likes, and pondering gift ideas, I've found that Big Mouth Inc. can pretty much cover them all. Sending a big thank you to Big Mouth Inc. for sponsoring this post. First up, we Read more [...]

I partnered with Animal Hearted on this sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Loving a pet provides such a unique and special experience. I can't really think of anything that is similar to the relationship that I have with my dogs. They are always so happy to see me, and mine tend to stay glued to my hip. It takes so little to keep them content and they are always doing something silly to bring a smile to my face. Animal Hearted is a website that is a wonderful place to shop for gifts Read more [...]
