Our kids love playing games.  Actually, I don't think I know a single child who doesn't!  That's why teachers find it so beneficial to teach through games too.  Kids have fun while learning and typically even forget the fact that they are being educated at the time.  Today, I'm happy to partner with Wonder Forge to share a fun new game that helps build listening skills, encourages movement, and focuses on following directions. The Electronic Talking Magical Tiara Adventures Game is a bit Read more [...]

I was sent product from The Hair Bow Company. I was compensated for inclusion in my gift guide. All opinions are my own. I could spend hours hopping from one boutique website to the next when looking for gifts for the kids in my life. Boutiques often offer adorable clothing and accessories for kids that are unlike anything you can find in a department store. The biggest downside to boutiques websites is the price. The Hair Bow Company started as a website offering hair bows at great prices. Read more [...]

Thank you to Philips Avent for sending me their awesome products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My daughter is a Philips Avent Baby. From birth we have used the Philips Avent Baby Monitor, Philips Avent Bottles and Philips Avent Soothers (Pacifiers).  Recently we started using the Philips Avent Bottle Drying Rack - and I sure wish we would have gotten one sooner! We can honestly say we love all of the Philips Avent products that we have. When I got pregnant with my daughter Read more [...]

RYOBI sent me an ultimate combo kit for gift guide inclusion. All opinions are my own. Ryan & I have been renting apartments or houses for several years now. One of the upsides of renting has been learning the basics of home repair. This is slightly unusual, as landlords would generally be responsible for repairs in most rental homes. Our situation has been unique for a few reasons. First, we had multiple landlords who weren't willing to fix many things on their own but were happy to let Read more [...]

Thank you to Thirty-One Gifts for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters are budding artists. They love crafting, drawing, writing, sewing...anything that allows the to be creative and express themselves. Their passions bring in A LOT of supplies. They have scissors, stamps, crayons, markers, pencils, pens, fabric pieces, glue, sewing needles, and paper galore! Both girls' have an "art bin" in their bedrooms to store most Read more [...]

I was sent a WellnessMats mat for the holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. I usually do the dishes right before going to bed. It's nice to wake up to a completely clean kitchen. I don't enjoy standing on my feet for 45+ minutes at the end of the day, though. On days where I have been active or walking a lot, it makes me feet or back hurt to stand at the kitchen sink late at night. I was recently sent a mat from WellnessMats from their Gatsby collection mat. These mats can be customized Read more [...]

I was sent product from 1-800-baskets. All opinions are my own. Food or treat gift baskets are such a wonderful gift, in my opinion. They are a great solution for so many people who are hard to shop for. Whether you have an elderly person on your list who isn't very active, or someone who owns all of the toys and gadgets they want, or someone who you just don't know very well - a treat gift basket is a great solution. Everyone likes yummy food of some kind or another, so 1-800-baskets have something Read more [...]

Thank you to Plant Therapy for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I love Christmas! I love the sights, sounds, smells and spirit of it all. The holiday season brings me so much joy, that I like to extend it. I begin decorating my home on November 1st and leave it up until December 31st. This year, we have two beautiful Christmas trees that make me smile every time I pass by them. Unfortunately, they don't have a potent enough smell Read more [...]

I was sent a ThreadLab order. All opinions are my own. My boyfriend always seems to be in need of new clothing. He's rough on his clothes and he's been on a weightloss journey for over a year now, so he has changed sizes several times. While it's exciting to watch him drop clothing sizes, it's been tough to keep is closet updated with clothing that fits because he hates going clothes shopping for himself. I had considered using a clothing subscription service to get him clothing without him Read more [...]

Thank you to Toast for sending me product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. My boyfriend, Kyle, never likes to use a case on his phone. He has trouble finding cases that are his style, but not too bulky. It's hard in general to find phone cases for men. Most of them are too glitzy and girly. Since getting an iPhone not too long ago, Kyle changed his mind and wanted to get a case since these phones are a bit more fragile. We bought one for $5 but it was too plain and definitely Read more [...]
