Thank you to Glidden Paint for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's been 10 years since we remodeled our upstairs.  Originally, we had four bedrooms up there and they all had plaster walls and ceilings that were falling in everywhere.  So we had the entire thing gutted and changed out one of the bedrooms for a bathroom.  I had settled on my color scheme for the bathroom and got some really bad advice Read more [...]

Thank you to Prospurly for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  I wish that I had the ambition to start my own company and grow it to be super successful, not to mention I wish I had a passion for one specific thing instead of so many. I love to make things by hand and buy handmade things. I can understand the time effort and commitment it takes to create each handmade item. I appreciate the effort someone else has taken to have a passion and Read more [...]

Thank you to Lost My Name for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  Having a unique name is something I have learned to cherish. It does have its drawbacks in the younger years. Things like gaining courage to repeat your name to someone who mispronounced it, but the most common and most obvious one was no name personalization on things I owned. All stores had the common names on keychains or bike license plates and I always wanted that. It wasn't Read more [...]

*I was sent a Mira fitness tracker for review. All opinions are my own. Shortly after I decided to make some healthy lifestyle changes, I started reading a lot of healthy food and fitness forum posts. I saw lots of discussion about various fitness trackers and they caught my eye. So, when I was offered the chance to try out the Mira Fitness tracker - a fashionable fitness tracker aimed specifically at women I eagerly said yes. The Mira fitness tracker tracks your steps and locks into a fashionable Read more [...]

I received product from Antique Lamp Supply. All opinions and photos are my own. Over the summer, we moved from the city to the country. We purchased a home on a small farm. We have been told that during a good storm, the house will lose power. The previous owners said it doesn’t happen every year, but it can happen. My in-laws live fairly close to us and said they do lose power every year. One year, the power stayed off for as long as a week. Whether or not the power goes out, I want to be Read more [...]

I received products from Wise Food Storage for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. We have all seen shows about doomsday preppers. I think some of the people on those shows take things way to far. Others, I think are spot-on. It’s important to be ready for any situation you may find yourself in, but it is also important to find a balance and not let your fears control your life. I have begun a stock pile of items that would make my family more comfortable in any emergency situation Read more [...]

Thank you to Big Joe by Comfort Research for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  My kids love comfort, I have a big feeling it comes from their dad who bundles in blankets and the like constantly. My kids also love reading, a trait I like to think I have inspired within them. So to meet the two needs we found a product called Big Joe by Comfort Research. Comfort Research is a company offering beautiful, affordable bean bag chairs. Something Read more [...]
