Thank you to Mayapple Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Teething babies are rarely much fun.  Our first daughter was terrible during teething.  She would spike 104+ temps and be inconsolable the night before a new tooth would arrive.  Come morning, she'd be her typical happy self with no signs of lingering distress and only her new tooth left as a reminder.  Thankfully, none of our other kids got quite Read more [...]

  Thank you to Seaturtle Sports for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. With July now here, it's time to get out and enjoy this Summertime weather before it's gone again.  The kids and I have been trying to get out and visit local parks and playgrounds as well as hitting up the local beach in between our library visits.  (Our local library always runs a Summer reading program so we are there at least weekly picking Read more [...]

Thank you to Colgate-Palmolive for providing me with Softsoap product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. I have to say that, as a mom to five, it's hard to find a quiet place for some alone time.  Not that I need it all that often, but every once in awhile I feel like I could use just a few minutes without someone yanking on my arm, yelling near me, or creating a disaster in the wake of what I just cleaned.  I know I'm not alone because, no matter Read more [...]

  Thank you to G.H. Cretors Popped Corn for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Last Summer, I worked with G.H. Cretors Popped Corn and the whole family fell in love with the delicious Chicago Mix they offer.  We received the convenient snack size (1.5 ounce) bags and they were a huge hit…..with EVERYONE!  Since we farm, we have hired help during field work times which typically lands sporadically from May till Read more [...]

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network.  However, all opinions are 100% my own. As a child, I remember dreading going to the doctor. I liked my doctor and I even recall enjoying the waiting room toys that they had. I just didn't usually feel like getting dressed, going for a drive and waiting in a waiting room when I wasn't feeling well. As an adult, I've found that I have a bad habit of using the "wait and see" method, but by the time that my symptoms are bad enough that Read more [...]

I received products from Jennie-O for my review. All opinions and photos are my own. The last few weeks we have been so busy! We sold our house and moved into our dream house. We had the school year end and took a family vacation. We also celebrated my birthday and father’s day. Whew! As you can imagine there were many nights I need a quick dinner. I am so thankful I had Jennie-O on hand! Jennie-O products allow you to have delicious meals without compromising on health. Their products are Read more [...]

  Thank you to Irresistible Me for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. I have to admit that I am a little jealous of the people who are lucky enough to jump out of the shower, run a brush through their hair, and look presentable enough to leave the house!  Unfortunately, that has just never been my luck.  Perhaps if I had never had that perm back when I was 13, I'd have better hair?  Instead, I have unruly hair that Read more [...]

  Thank you to Funnybone Toy for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Games can provide hours of fun and are a great way for kids to learn as well as practice the art of being a good sport.  I love having a variety around the house for the kids use as well as for us adults when we have company over.  So when Funnybone Toys shared that they have two new games for 2015, I was excited to check them out. Juxtabo is Read more [...]

Thank you to KLIPZ Kidz for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I remember the feeling of impending doom as Summer would begin to wind down and September would creep closer.  It wasn't so much about a like or dislike of school so much as it was a bummer to lose the freedom and sunshine Summer held.  Once school was back in session, the sunshine would be viewed longingly through the window instead of cherished in the fresh Read more [...]
