Thank you to Crayola for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters are now eight and ten years old. While they still enjoy coloring, they have outgrown the little kid coloring books. The new trendy adult coloring books, don't quite hold their attention either. When I saw Crayola's NEW Art with Edge, Say What?! coloring book, I knew it would be a hit with them. For my review, I was able to get both girls an Art with Edge, Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. I am provided with a Nutrisystem meal plan in exchange for sharing regular updates. All opinions are my own. Restaurants can be really tough to navigate when you're trying to count calories. Nutrisystem has a restaurant guide which is a big help. However, we still try to avoid restaurants as much as possible. It's just easier that way! We've never been in the habit of eating out with much frequency, but holidays are often celebrated by going out to dinner in Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. Remember to take a moment to let your mom, aunt, sister, etc. know just how much you appreciate everything they do for you. As a mom, I can tell you, it isn't about the gifts at all. It is about being loved, respected, and appreciated. My family and I will be hosting a Mother's Day brunch. We are having my parents, my in-laws and our neighbors Read more [...]

While I sometimes wonder why I live in the state where the air hurts my face for a good share of the winter, I love springtime and summer in Minnesota.  Seeing everything come back to life and turn green, watching flowers bloom, and feeling the warm sunshine is so amazing that it makes the long winters worth it.  So as the seasons turn, I hope all of you are feeling the same wonderful hope and joy that I feel with all of the life being breathed back into everything.  And with this new season comes Read more [...]

With Spring in full swing and Summer just weeks away, I was on a mad hunt for a decent bonnet for our toddler daughter.  The one I had made last Summer no longer fits her well enough to protect from the sun's harmful rays and I've found it quite difficult to find a great bonnet in anything larger than infant sizes.  But just recently, I was introduced to Urban Baby Bonnets and was super excited by what I found. Sending a big thank you to Urban Baby Bonnets for sending us their awesome modBonnet Read more [...]

Thank you to Chalk Ink for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Chalk Ink offers a colorful line of chalk markers. Chalk Ink markers write like paint but dry just like chalk. They are quick-drying, smear proof and easily clean up with a wet wipe. Once your chalk dries, you can paint over it again and again to create beautiful layers. Chalk Ink chalk markers should be used on non-porous surfaces, such as chalkboards, glass, mirrors, Read more [...]

Retro toys are all the rage these days and it's easy to see why.  There were just so many really awesome toys and products from years ago and people want to see them back again.  And when a toy is a classic, it only makes sense to release it again for this generation to enjoy. Sending a big thank you to Super Impulse for sending us their Wiz-z-zer Toy!  Originally introduced back in 1970, the Wiz-z-zer is the absolute best selling spinning top of all time.  So here to reintroduce Read more [...]

I was sent product from Pearl Vodka and Everclear. All opinions are my own. So often when it comes to getting gifts, I think luxurious or practical. The last few days this forward has been cycling around my Facebook page. The meaning behind the post is to explain how mother's don't much care about the gift they get. Instead, most moms just want to spend time with their kids, relax and have fun! From that perspective, picking up some alcohol such as Pearl and Everclear as well as some ingredients Read more [...]

Thank you to KaiKini for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  I'm twenty six years young and I am in the process of learning to love my body after two kids. The challenges a body faces physically are so intense during pregnancy and postpartum, emotionally you're going through even more at times. My body went from something I was pretty familiar with to a vessel that was changing almost everyday for four years straight. Four years is along time Read more [...]

Thank you to NUK for providing product in exchange for this feature post. I am happy to partner with NUK to showcase the Simply Natural Freemie Cups and the NUK Simply Natural Bottles. My best friend is due to have her second baby any day now. With her first baby she pumped breastmilk and bottle fed it to her daughter. She plans to do the same thing with her second daughter this summer. Early in the pregnancy she had mentioned to me that hands free pumping cups were something she wanted to Read more [...]
