This post is sponsored by Stonyfield.  All opinions are 100% my own. The Stonyfield brand is quite well known.  My family especially loves their yogurt selection but they offer a variety of organic and conventional choices from milk and cream to frozen yogurt, milk pouches, fruit snacks, YoKids, YoTot, YoBaby, Smoothies, as well as a variety of yogurt types and flavors.  But today the question is, "Can a cow save a penguin?" Stonyfield is confident that they definitely CAN make a difference Read more [...]

Thank you to Adorology for sending a nursing pillow slipcover for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Adorology is a company that started out making awesome multi-use car seat covers and cute bandana bibs. I fell in love with both of these products. You can see my Adorology Car Seat Cover and bandana bib reviews HERE and HERE. When I heard Adorology was coming out with a nursing pillow slipcover I jumped at the chance to try it out as well. The Adorology Nursing Pillow Slipcover Read more [...]

I was sent a Burga Box for review. All opinions are my own. Ryan grew up with the tradition of being able to choose what to have for dinner on your birthday. Kids could have mashed potatoes and cereal if they wanted! It was the one day a year where anything went in terms of dinner. Of course, as kids get older they tend to be less interested in having a weird combination of foods for dinner and instead just start choosing their favorite restaurant. Ryan & I almost always eat at home. We Read more [...]

I partnered with Pfizer Consumer Healthcare on this blog post and was compensated. All opinions are my own. I remember seeing commercials discussing spring cleaning as a kid, and feeling confused. Why do people clean more in the spring? It wasn't long after getting my first apartment that I grew to understand. There is just nothing that compares to deep cleaning with the windows open on an early spring day. We've been having a ton of April showers here in Michigan but I am eager to get spring Read more [...]

Thank you to Therapy Shoppe for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself.  My son and daughter have both been using a calm down tool box in their calm down area within our home for about a month or so. At first we started with having just 3 or 4 knick knack things the kids already owned and had played with before. These preowned toys were fun for a little while but quickly lost steam after a few uses in the calm down area. Not really knowing what Read more [...]

Traveling with tweens can be a lot of fun. They are learning how to be independent and responsible, yet still, like spending time with their family. Tweens are curious and ready for an adventure. When you decide to take a trip, let your tween be a part of the trip planning process. We created a Pinterest board and all pinned the sites we wanted to see. It not only got my tweens involved but also taught us about the states we were planning on visiting. This is the perfect opportunity to mix fun Read more [...]

Sending a big thank you to Personal Wine for sponsoring this post.  All opinions are my own.

I have been a fan and customer of the company SwimZip since way back in 2012.  Our very first SwimZip was their navy blue rash guard with a little turtle in the corner but I've loved watching the brand grow, expand, and flourish in the years since.  They have a unique style, high quality, affordable prices, and amazing designs that keeps customers coming back for more.  So I am, once again, thrilled to share our love of SwimZip with you today. Sending a big thank you to SwimZip for sending us Read more [...]

My husband and I never really got to experience or claim that our children were "great sleepers".  While our first did okay, the next four would probably have been classified as terrible...  They only wanted to sleep while being held, worn, or, on occasion, in the stroller if they fell asleep while you were pushing them.  To be completely honest, I usually didn't mind.  I loved holding our kids and spending that time snuggling them.  But by baby number five, I really wanted my arms and bed back.  Read more [...]
