When I was in elementary school, gym class was always lots of fun.  While I was definitely NOT the most athletic....okay, I was probably the least athletic in my class, I still had fun.  Whether playing games with the parachute or ball games such as 2-pin, mat ball, or trench ball, I always enjoyed the comradery of playing in large groups.  So when I graduated from high school Read more [...]

I've heard multiple comedians joke about getting tagged in bad photos, or seeing a photo of yourself and having it ruin your day, or ruin your view of that clothing item forever. I can certainly relate. I was within 5 pounds of the same weight from ages 12-22 or so. I quit growing really ,young, so I've just remained the same size since I was 12. Around 22-23 I knew I had gained roughly 10 pounds and I was frustrated because my clothing still fit but it did not look flattering anymore. Read more [...]

  Thank you to Haru Honpo for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Well, the last 11 years of my life have included me having a child pretty much everywhere I go.  About six months ago my husband didn't have much to do, so I left the kiddos at home while I attended my cousin's baby shower  My aunt was completely floored that I didn't have even one of our five kids with because she had never seen me childless Read more [...]

Have you ever found awesome prices on things that got you really excited?  I love finding great deals on stylish and useful products.  Back when I was about sixteen, my sister and I went to town and came across some smokin' deals at a local store.  We were so excited that when we stopped at a local restaurant for lunch, we actually locked our keys Read more [...]

Splish splash, water can be so much fun.  However, having some toys and accessories make it even better!  When I was younger, our parents would make the 10 minute drive to the local beach and my sister, brother, and I would play for hours.  While there was a raft out a few hundred feet, our parents never allowed us to swim out to it.  Wait.......Unless Read more [...]

  Thank you to KitchenIQ for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love being in the kitchen and preparing delicious home-cooked meals for my family.  When my husband and I first got married, I didn't have much for great kitchen gadgets and tools.  So I just got by but wasn't able to fully enjoy the experience because, as most people know, innovative and great quality kitchen tools make a big difference.  Read more [...]

  Thank  you to Zest for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. While I have had all of the greatest intentions of getting out and starting an exercise regimen, it has yet to happen.  Life tends to get busy and there's very little time left in the day.  However, I do make sure to get a shower each day so that's my leisurely time UNLESS our 3 year old jumps in and hogs the spray.  No matter, I still enjoy a few Read more [...]

  Thank you to OxyLED for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. One of my biggest pet peeves is a dark room/area.  When we moved into our home, we made sure to add additional lighting in the living room, bathrooms, and entry way because of my preference.  It's not that I don't like being in the dark, I just want the option for some great lighting in case I want to read, play a game, or work on something.  If I'm squinting Read more [...]
