Thank you to No Netz for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. The very first day out in the water this Summer left our son sore and in pain.  He didn't realize that his suit was causing the issue so he didn't tell me until after he changed and noticed the raw spots on his legs and the fact that the pain was still there after putting on regular clothes.  I immediately went online in search of a solution and found No Netz, Read more [...]

I love being in a large family because we never go more than a year or two without someone having a new baby. I love shopping for gifts for babies and toddlers, but I always hesitate before buying baby or toddler products that I suspect will only be used for a couple of months. When I was shopping for my sister's baby shower gift, I was excited to see that she included a baby bouncer on her registry that transformed into a rocking chair once the child was old enough to sit up unsupported. Instead Read more [...]

Thank you to Diggin' for sending me product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are mine.  Ah balance bikes, I'm sure you've heard of them! If not ill give you a run down of the basic principle. A bike without pedals designed to give young children and toddlers a head start on riding a bike by teaching them first to balance and coast confidently. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels, while it looked nowhere near as graceful as my sons learning I did eventually get it down. Read more [...]

Thank you to Alex Brands for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own. Kids love adventure, whether they are young toddlers or preteens. Programs like boy scouts can be such a blessing for kids of all ages, as they learn so much. If you're in an area without a program like this there are tons of parent led alternatives! One I'm happy to share with you all is Backyard Safari Outfitters. They are a company really highlighting the adventure in children's Read more [...]

  Thank you for Fibre-Craft for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. Out with STEM and in with STEAM!  Included in the education of children are the prime areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Many kids enjoy crafts.  Even children who I've heard say they don't tend to enjoy them if they are given materials and a little freedom.  So when I sit down to do projects with our kids, I'll give instructions Read more [...]

  Thank you to Capturing Couture for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. Pets are a truly amazing addition to many families.  We actually have three dogs currently.  Our oldest is over 15 (people) years now and life has been hard on her.  She lost one of her back legs years ago to a combine accident and I can still remember calling my husband in tears saying that I would pay the $1,000 vet bill so she could have Read more [...]

Thank you to Munchpak who provided product in exchange for review purposes. The review does contain affiliate links. All opinions are my own. Ah traveling the world, doesn't it sound amazing? Seeing new landscapes, hearing new languages and most important enjoying food from another culture. I think when most people travel one of the top things that is on the planned itinerary is food! Ok now lets be a realistic, there are a few things that keep a majority of people from following their traveling Read more [...]

  Thank you to Jewelry By Kat for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are 100% my own. I remember as a little girl really loving jewelry.  Not only did I enjoy wearing my own, but I would play in my moms jewelry box for hours.  (She didn't mind as I was always careful and she never had any expensive pieces that would cause heartache if broken or lost.)  So now when I look at our 10 year old daughter and see those same desires of wanting Read more [...]
