The Christmas rush is finally over for us and we have completed four out of the five holiday gatherings so far.  Still have the one last straggler on my husbands side but they schedule for mid-January every year.  While we don't much care to have it so late, it does at least break up the busyness too.  So even though my husband and I didn't exchange gifts this year, with Winter in full swing here in Minnesota, there was just one (okay, two) things I was really wishing for..... new pajamas and Read more [...]

I was sent Crabtree and Evelyn gifts. All opinions are my own. I have one final last minute gift idea for our readers. This just arrived yesterday so I apologize that is truly is very last minute. However, it's a great one! I had heard of the brand Crabtree & Evelyn in the past but I hadn't personally tried their products. To be really honest, I an sometimes a little cheap when it comes to my personal care products for myself. However, I like to go with higher end brands when I gift personal Read more [...]

A couple years ago we got our sweet little Yorkie named Angel and, shortly after, I discovered PetGiftBox.com.  It made perfect sense to me that a monthly gift box subscription for our furry family member would be a good investment as she loves treats and toys but it was hard for me to get to the store every month or so to pick up new ones.  So having a fun box delivered right to our front door each month has been fun for the entire family and I'm thrilled to partner with PetGiftBox today for this Read more [...]

I was provided with a Steam code for Call Of Duty Infinite Warfare. All opinions are my own. Ryan works hard for us. He doesn't like to spoil himself with "toys" or non-essentials. In fact, he isn't even very good about buying himself replacements for things he needs. I just realized yesterday that I should have purchased him a pair of shoes for Christmas because his are pretty worn out. When I ask him what he wants for Christmas he says "I don't need anything." most of the time. So I'm often Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. While on Nutrisystem, they suggest you get at least thirty minutes of exercise each day. You can choose whatever form of exercise you like. What really matters, is that you get up and move for at least thirty minutes a day. You can start with three sets of ten-minute workouts if the full thirty minutes is too long or if you simply don't have that block of time. I Read more [...]

Sending a big thank you to LUXHAIR for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review! Throughout life, bad hair days just seem to be a thing that can't be reckoned with.  I've definitely had my fair share and, while I'd love to be one of those people who can just throw on a hat, I usually look awful in those!  So I turn to more heat and extra hair spray to tame those unruly locks on bad days and hope for the best.  One thought that had crossed my mind and sparked my interest Read more [...]
