Thank you to The Invisible Chef for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I bake most of my goodies from scratch, but when I am in a hurry or needed inspiration, I turn to The Invisible Chef. I have been using The Invisible Chef baking mixes for about 4 or 5 years. I have served their goodies at impromptu family gatherings. I have turned to them those nights when we HAD to have a sweet treat. I have also gifted both the baking mixes and Read more [...]

I was sent Fairy Garden Supplies from MyFairyGardens.com. All opinions are my own. One of my aunts started making a fairy garden about a year ago. Since then, several other women in my family have taken an interest in fairy gardens as well. My mother-in-law started picking up a few supplies to make one for herself as well. I thought that Fairy Gardens were a pretty significant trend. I told one of my friends that I was planning to get some fairy garden supplies for my mom and my mother-in-law Read more [...]

From country to rock, he enjoys many different styles of music. His music library spans the decades.

Thank you to SoCozy for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters are 7.5 years old and almost 10 years old. They are well past the age of using baby hair care products, but I don't feel they are quite ready for the adult professional hair care products either. I want products that work well with their maturing hair. I want products that are salon quality. I want products are chemical-free. I want products that work. When asked Read more [...]

Finding gifts that are soft and squishy under the tree is a staple for many families.  Since children need clothes often between growing like weeds, wearing them out, or staining them, Christmas is the perfect time to give those little wardrobes a fashion boost.  I love finding brands that offer fun, contemporary styles but that also focus on making sure their clothes are comfortable and appealing to kids too.  That's where Nano Baby comes in.  Don't let the name fool you as they offer great Read more [...]

I have been provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing my honest experience and results on my blog. All opinions are my own. I've mentioned in the past that some of Ryan's favorite Nutrisystem foods are ones that he didn't think he would like. That's very true. He didn't care much for chicken or turkey prior to beginning Nutrisystem, but he enjoys several entrees from Nutrisystem that include those meats. There were also a couple of entrees that Ryan had assumed he would enjoy, Read more [...]

This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine. Today is Royce's first birthday! This past year has went by so quickly. The poor guy was diagnosed with croup this week so we're hoping his medication gets him feeling better by tomorrow for his birthday party. He's going to have a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party. His main cake is mickey mouse themed and the bakery it was ordered from gives Read more [...]

I was sent a Bully Bundle for review. All opinions are my own. I think of my dogs as part of the family, and for me all holidays are family time. I know many pet owners feel similarly, yet it's easy to get caught up in the holiday's and for your time with your pet to be diminished. We don't usually host any holidays at our house, so we visit Ryan's family and my family at other houses. As a result, our dogs get left home most of the time. However, even if you are the host, it's possible that Read more [...]
