Thank you to Little Me for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own. Every day seems to pass quicker than the day before and our kids are growing up right before my very eyes.  I know it's almost nostalgic and I hear it from everyone older than me, but time sure does fly.  It's hard for me to believe that our first child will be 10 in just a few short days!  For now, I'm relishing in the moment and enjoying our little Read more [...]

  Thank you to Wonder Forge for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's almost Easter and to many children, it means Easter Egg Hunts, dying eggs, and Candy, Candy, Candy!  My husband and I have started a different tradition.  While we do include a piece or two of candy in the Easter Baskets, we try to find the kids one or two non-candy gifts as well.  I have found games to be a great gift, no matter the occasion!  So Read more [...]

  Thank you to Smart Bottoms for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Cloth diapering is definitely not what it used to be.  I have an aunt who has been doing daycare for about thirty years now.  I was in a pinch and asked her if she could keep an eye on my two youngest boys, one which happened to be in cloth at the time.  I knew she hadn't had a cloth diapered baby for about twenty years so I even offered Read more [...]

  Thank you to KIDdesigns for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Our kids are obsessed with animals.  Stuffed or real, makes no difference.  Since we live on a farm, that's probably a good thing though.  This also means that bed space is a rare commodity because our stuffed furry friends have taken over!  (As a parent, I know that I can't be alone in this problem, right?)  Oh well.  I remember loving animals just Read more [...]

  Thank you to Casio for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's been warming up quite nicely here in Minnesota.  Since my New Year's Resolution was to be more active, I had set a goal to also start jogging a little once it was warmer out.  Even though it's not unusual to get snow into May even, I wasn't going to let this warm spell pass me by.  So, I've hit the dirt and started jogging to the creek and back.

  Thank you to Pello for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love products that have been mom-invented to solve every day problems.  That being said, I'd like to introduce you to Pello, which is one of those products.  Cindy, a mom to two boys, discovered that she needed a safe place to lay her baby while sewing.  Not only that, but also a product that would protect him as he tried to sit.  And so, Pello Read more [...]

  Thank you to Banner Buzz for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. It's no secret.  Birthdays come every year.  As children, they tend to be an exciting event.  As I've grown older, I now realize that it's lost some of the luster.  While I still enjoy my birthday since we go out for lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant, I now struggle to remember how old I am when asked!  I still blame it on pregnancy.  Past, Read more [...]

  Thank you to Livie & Luca for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are 100% my own. With the warmer weather creeping in, the change of seasons, and Easter coming up shortly, I have started looking for some fun new footwear for the kids.  I had partnered with Livie & Luca in the past and loved the quality and style they provided so I was happy to partner with them again!  You can read my first Livie & Luca Review here. The Archie Read more [...]

  Thank you to Big Idea Entertainment, LLC for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own.
