Thank you to Blue Orange Games for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. It doesn't matter what age you are.  Everyone learns through play.  As an adult, when something is turned into a fun experience or game, I am able to learn and retain so much better.  So it's no secret that children also learn through hands on experience, fun, and games.  So I love hearing when Blue Orange Games releases new products Read more [...]

  Thank you to Jelt Belt for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Surely I can't be the only person who has struggled to find a really great belt?  Over the years, I've wasted quite a bit of time and money in my search for such a simple, yet important item.  Because let's face it, most people don't enjoy having to hold their pants up with their hands!  I can remember some of the belts I'd purchase would actually Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Disney Baby for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I remember as a teenager browsing the internet and seeing mommy & me photos showing matching outfits, hairdos, shoes, or rock band t-shirts and thinking the pictures were so cute. I thought it was neat that you could someday pass on the interests that you love, whether it's a certain band, cartoon or brand of shoes to your little one at least while they're young enough to want to be like their Read more [...]

  Thank you to MeasuPro Inc. for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. One of the hardest part about being a parent is when one of the kids gets sick.  The helpless feeling of not being able to "fix" the situation for them makes me feel awful.  Part of our regimen when someone comes down with something is to make them comfortable, offer juice (which is a treat as they don't typically get juice often), allow extra Read more [...]

  Thank you to Mill Creek Entertainment for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Growing up, I remember hanging out in the living room with my siblings and dad as he would flip through the channels looking for a good show.  Eventually he would settle on something, sometimes I would enjoy the show and sometimes not so much.  However, one of the great shows that we were always excited to catch was Knight Rider.  Read more [...]

  Thank you to Withings for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. For years now, I've been hearing the rage of aiming for 10,000 steps a day.  (Note:  2,000 steps averages to be about a mile so 10,000 daily steps would equal about 5 miles.)  My dad jumped on board awhile ago and wore a pedometer to keep track but my husband and I just never picked one up, even though we had the best of intentions to.  Honestly, Read more [...]

Thank you to The Dunk Collection for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. At Christmas time, my daughters saw the commercials for the basketball hoop laundry hampers. They thought the hoop looked like a lot of fun. I thought...perhaps this will help them clean their bedrooms. Time passed and I forgot to look into getting them the hampers. Fast forward to April. I was asked to review the Dirty Dunk laundry hamper. I was Read more [...]

My family didn't use club-store memberships when I was a child. I didn't know much about Sam's Club, so I was a bit surprised when Ryan told me he had purchased us a Sam's Club membership while it was on Groupon. I'm so glad he took advantage of it, because we've really been enjoying the convenience of shopping less often for many of our grocery and household "staples". Since getting our membership, I've come to primarily use Sam's Club as a place to buy various household items like paper Read more [...]

Back in November I moved into my first home that had washer and dryer hook-up. I have lived in a few different apartments and rental homes since I was 17,two had a laundry room int he basement that was shared by all apartments in the complex. The duplex that I lived in didn't have a hook-up at all, so we had to use a laundry mat. I was excited about moving to this new house for several reasons, but towards the top of my list was being able to have my own washer and dryer. We have been here Read more [...]
