Thank you to Brooklyn Owl for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog collaboration.  All opinions are 100% my own. Children love to pretend.   Whether dreaming and acting out magical places, made up animals, or even just pretending to be a grown up mom or dad, using imaginations is a cherished part of childhood.  I remember many times where my sister and I would pretend and play restaurant, doctor, and mommy.  When playing alone at times, I recall pretending Read more [...]

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic. A couple years ago Ryan & I were given hotel tickets as a Christmas gift. Prior to that we didn't really do any traveling outside of camping, but we had such a relaxing "staycation" at the hotel that we started visiting hotels more often. I struggle with balancing work from everyday life. I think it's harder to balance life and work when you work Read more [...]

  Thank you to eKids for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog collaboration.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's a technology filled world these days for both children and adults alike.  Starting at a young age, it seems like everyone is always connected.  Gone are the days of Walkmans and wires!  Kids now have cell phones and devices, with some even being encouraged to have these things in elementary school already.  No worries though, iHome has launched Read more [...]

  Thank you to Delta Children for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's quite common for people to enjoy products that fit their size.  I'm short which means that some furniture, such as big chairs and couches, seems to be made for taller people.  That leaves me either sitting way ahead with no back rest so my feet hit the floor or else have me against the back with my legs sticking awkwardly straight out.  Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. All opinions are my own. Life has been so busy for Ryan & I lately. Things had been hectic for us for about a month with my nephew being born, my mother in laws dog passing away, a couple of stressful doctors appointments, halloween and my dad's birthday. I thought life would slow down for us a little bit but last week we finally found a house that we really wanted to move into. We had been apartment/duplex/house hunting for a few months without much luck Read more [...]

  Thank you to Sprouting Threads for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Getting new clothes under the Christmas Tree each year was an expected ritual that I had always enjoyed.  Since school had been in session for a couple months by the time the holidays rolled around, it was always nice to have a few new articles of clothing to utilize.  Earlier this year, I was introduced to Sprouting Threads, a company that Read more [...]

Thank you to Lee Jeans for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I live in my jeans. I wear jeans every single day of the week. Most of the jeans in my closet are from Lee Jeans. I like the styles Lee offers and find them to be really comfortable. It has been a while since I have purchased new jeans. I decided it was time to update my wardrobe. For this, Lee was happy to send me three new pairs of jeans: Curvy Fit Read more [...]

  Thank you to Ozobot for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. The world is full of technology.  Gone are the days where kids only had one wooden toy and the great outdoors, almost everything is electronically enhanced these days.  Starting in elementary school, children are expected to learn how to use computers and small devices as those are almost necessary to succeed.  This world truly lives and breathes Read more [...]
