Each month, our entire family from the oldest all the way to the furriest is on watch for the delivery of our PetGiftBox.com box.  I love partnering with them for these monthly reviews and sharing the awesome goodies we receive.  But for those of you who are unfamiliar with Pet Gift Box, I'll give a little background before heading into this months' box. What Is Pet Gift Box?  It's a monthly subscription based service for your pets, specifically created to cater to your dogs and cats. What's Read more [...]

I have been provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing my honest experience and results on my blog. This week's Nutrisystem victory was a non-scale victory or NSV. We use a cloud photo storage program, and it recently updated to add some new features. I was checking it out because it now groups photos by date taken, by who or what is in the photo, where it was taken, etc. I noticed that it had photos of me divided into two groups, and Ryan into two groups as well. When I looked at Read more [...]

Thank you to Carpet One Floor & Home for sending the Welcome A Cure Pink Ribbon Mat for review. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My grandmother (mom's mom) passed away from breast cancer after fighting it for 11 long years. My aunt (dad's sister) is a breast cancer survivor. Finding a cure for breast cancer is a cause that is close to my heart. Although I don't generally like wearing pink, I will happily do so to support breast cancer awareness and research. I have breast cancer pins, Read more [...]

The world today is filled with technology, electronics, and gadgets.  While I could never claim to be real great at Science and Technology in school, it's now such an important part of every day life that it's truly important to introduce kids to these concepts fairly early.  Thankfully, there are some great companies that have created awesome products that encourage learning while having fun and I'm excited to part with Circuit Scribe to share a review with you. Geared for ages 8 and up, Read more [...]

I partnered with Golfing Getaways on this compensated post about all inclusive golf breaks. All opinions are my own. When you decide to travel, do you pick a place first, or a source of entertainment first? I've only been able to travel a couple of times in my adult life, but I've planned both ways and enjoyed both. I used to think that having a task in mind made sense, so I wouldn't have to worry about finding something to do. However, this past summer when I found out I was attending a blogging Read more [...]

Thank you to Thirty-One Gifts for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Our mudroom had become a bit of a stop and drop zone. The kids would come in with school backpacks, lunch bags, coats, papers, shoes (rollerblades,) etc. and just drop it inside the doorway. My husband and I kept our muddy boots, coats, and bags in there as well. In addition to all of that, we stored our dog food and cleaning supplies in there. As you can see in the Read more [...]

Thank you to Candlewick Press for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughters LOVE reading chapter books. Recently we had the opportunity to read five new chapter books from Candlewick Press- Around the World, Snow White A Graphic Novel, The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party, Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes, and Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon. Savannah, almost 10 years old, read Around Read more [...]

Design Essentials hair care products were designed to bring your hair balance. Their products contain vitamins and protein to improve the look and feel of your hair.

For my review, I received a Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Collection, as well as a Time Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. I have completed four full weeks of Nutrisystem. Each week, I have measured my body and weighed myself. It is both an exciting and nerve-racking task. I hold my breath every time I step on the scale and weigh myself several times to make sure I get a consistent reading. For me, this is the easiest way to track my progress. I have a few friends who are also trying to Read more [...]

Thank you to boon for sending the PULP for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Our daughter is almost eleven months old and we are starting to feed her more and more 'big person' food. I was excited to have the opportunity to partner with boon to review their new product. PULP is a silicone feeder that allows baby to self-feed on fruits and vegetables. We tried the boon PULP with bananas and apples so far. Our daughter really seems to like the colorful design and the ability to munch Read more [...]
