Thank you to The Original Pedi-Sox for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I’m a bare-foot kind of girl. I never wear shoes in the house and you can usually find me going to the mail box and other outside destinations without shoes. Needless to say, my feet get very dry and I experience “hard” skin on my heels, balls of my feet, etc. When I was given the opportunity to review The Original Pedi-Sox & Sofspa Softening Cream Concentrate, Read more [...]

I specifically look for tops that I think will help me retain heat and stay comfortable. I found three new tops at Columbia, that I thought would be nice for Read more [...]

As I'm preparing for the upcoming hustle and bustle that the holiday season brings, I'm trying to complete my Christmas shopping by the end of November.  I really like to just slow down a little in December and getting the gifts out of the way is a huge help.  While I'm not fully opposed to electronics and gadgets, I do put focus on finding gifts that offer simplistic, open ended play.  Encouraging imagination means that the kids stay engaged and entertained longer as they can continue creating Read more [...]

Playgro sent me toys for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. All opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post. I have a just-turned-toddler on my list this year.

I Read more [...]

Alex Toys sent me product for review. All opinions are my own. By Christmas I will have two nieces who are 10 years old. I also have a 13-year-old little sister. All three of the girls can be tricky to buy for. Alex Toys has a wonderful selection of gifts for creative or crafty kids, so they are one of my go-to gift ideas for the creative preteen or young teen crowd. While I think of them for their craft kits, they have SO much more to offer, including items for much younger girls, and boys as Read more [...]
