  Thank you to Stride Rite for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I have to say that this Winter really seems to be flying by.  A typical Minnesota Winter can be filled with below zero temps, several feet of snow, and unbearable wind but this year has been fairly mild so far.  Our first snowfall came after Halloween (thankfully as we've been known to have major snowstorms that day!) and only lasted a short time Read more [...]

StuffYouNeedCheap sent me a subscription box for my review. All opinions are my own. I read a blog post from a fellow blogger a few days ago where she listed the things her household was always running out of, even though she feels like she buys them all the time. She mentioned things like throw blankets, pens, pencils and pencil sharpeners. It got me thinking about those items that I feel like my household always needs and socks are definitely at the top of the list. I have no idea what happens Read more [...]

Vbiger sent me products for review. All opinions are my own. Right before Christmas I got some last-minute items in the mail that I used as gifts for Ryan. All three items were affordably priced practical gifts from the brand Vbiger which is sold on Amazon. The first was a pair of Vbiger men's outdoor gloves. They are designed to be tight-fitting so you can get a great grip when motorcycling or doing other outdoor tasks. I ordered a size medium because whenever I buy Ryan winter or work Read more [...]

I love valentine's day. While a date night and candy or a teddy bear is fun, I mostly love it because it's a reminder to reflect on the early days of my relationship. Ryan & I had been casual friends for a couple of years before we became really close. We got really close the summer of my 16th birthday. I was drawn to his friendship at first because he was a great listener. I had normal teenage growing pains combined with some serious family stress and struggles. My adult family Read more [...]
