Thank you to Flat Out of Heels for sending me product in exchange for my honest opinion. Flat Out of Heels has been rescuing women's feet for five years now. The CEO & Founder of Flat Out was attending an event in 2011 where she was wearing six inch heels for hours. Her feet were killing her, so she searched for a place to buy some affordable flats. She was unable to find any, so she set out to make a fashionable, rollable flat that was durable enough for every day use and could be dispensed Read more [...]

I remember as a child, finding something that had my name on it was always so exciting.  Perhaps it was because Miranda wasn't all that common but that thrill I'd experience as my eyes would catch my name on a key chain or bookmark never got old.  Even though times have changed, kids still love customized items that are especially for them.  Now, it's even possible to have story books personalized!  So today, I'm excited to share a couple of selections from Put Me In The Story that would be perfect Read more [...]

Before I had kids, my sunglasses would last me years.  There were no little hands to bend, drop, scratch, or break them.  However, ever since we've had kids, my sunglasses don't have the same lifespan any more.  So over time, I've come to realize that it's just not worth spending top dollar on this particular item.  Especially when I can find great looking sunglasses that protect my eyes at affordable prices from SunglassWarehouse.com. Sending a big thank you to Sunglass Warehouse for sending Read more [...]

Do you ever feel like the last thing your children needs is another loud, plastic toy?  Or even more so, an electronic device?  Every time I walk the aisles of big box stores, that seems to be all I'm inundated with.  But I've learned that there are other, and better, options out there! Sending a big thank you to Manhattan Toy Co. for sending us these MiO toys. Last year, I was introduced to Manhattan's Toy Company's fun MiO (mee-oh) Collection.  If you're unfamiliar with it, their MiO Read more [...]

Thank you to Therapy Shoppe for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  As I have mentioned in a previous post my son has needed some extra sensory development to calm his emotions. One of the main signs that my sons teacher and I noticed was the desire to chew and mouth things in the classroom. My son would chew his fingernails to the point of pain and would chew his shirt sleeves until they were tattered and soggy. I knew that my son was dealing with Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Spring has arrived in Oregon. Today's forecast is sunny skies with a high temperature near 58 degrees. The warmer weather has me thinking about swimsuit season. Many people, myself included, dread swimsuit season. Swimsuits can be so unflattering. Nutrisystem has a few tips to help you pick a swimsuit to flatter your figure. If you are pear shaped (hips and Read more [...]

I am provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing regular updates. All opinions are my own. One of the most common questions or criticism that we hear about using Nutrisystem is - "what about when you're done with the program?" People tend to think that after leaving a plan like Nutrisystem that the weight will come back on. While it's hard to hear the criticism politely if it's spoken negatively, there IS some truth in there. Regardless of how long Ryan stays on Nutrisystem, Read more [...]

Solvit wood dog stairs were provided for my review. All opinions are my own. My pugs are an important part of my life. They are very attached to my boyfriend and I, so they spend almost all of their time within a foot of us. As I sit here blogging on my couch right now, one is between my knees and the other is laying against my hip. That's pretty much how it is 24/7 here! The pugs sleep in our bed, and we allow them onto our couch. Until about a year ago they could both jump onto the couch, Read more [...]

This post is sponsored by Beessential.  All opinions are my own. I recently shared a post about how much I love Beessential.  My family has tried out several of their products over the years and have loved every single one!  I have their Foaming Hand Soap by my kitchen sink and use it daily.  Their Lip Balm is my number one go-to and I refuse to even use any other brands.  Even my husband, who was the Chapstick King, has been converted!  Plus, they are the perfect addition to those Easter Read more [...]
