I was sent an OxyLED TSP-02 Solar Motion light for review. All opinions are my own. In my opinion, one of the biggest downsides to renting a home or apartment is simply being unable to customize it as much as we could if we owned our own home. The house that I am currently renting has a large yard for being within city limits. We have enjoyed having a space that feels our own outside, it's so different feeling than going outside when we lived in an apartment complex. The downside to our yard Read more [...]

  Thank you to School Zone Publishing for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I've used School Zone products for years.  Their workbooks have been a great tool to have available when I was searching for learning materials.  Recently, I learned that they have a great selection above and beyond their workbook lines.  They carry products for preschoolers through 6th graders including: Workbooks, Flashcards, Bible Workbooks, Software, Read more [...]

  Thank you to Margaux & May for providing me with the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I have really come to love swaddling blankets.  While I never had any with our first couple kids, I've really enjoyed them with the last three.  However, there is definitely a quality and style difference between brands.  I was recently introduced to Margaux & May.  They are a brand new baby boutique brand and I definitely had to share more about them Read more [...]

  Thank you to Coolibar for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. We are right smack in the middle of Winter here in Minnesota.  Many days have been hovering around zero with wind chill in the negatives.  While this makes for some very long days, I know many people escape the Winter blues by heading on a getaway to someplace warm and sunny.  While we are not able to manage getting away from our farm for that long, we did recently take a trip Read more [...]

I received products from YesStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Fur is such a popular trend right now. You can wear fur on your clothing, shoes, hair accessories, handbags and more. If you chose to wear fur clothing, it can be worn in a variety of ways. Both pattern and solid colors go well with fur. Fur can also easily be dressed up or worn casually.  Pretty much any way you wear fur, it will make a statement. I recently had the opportunity it review a new top from YesStyle.com. Read more [...]

*This blog post is sponsored by Global Influence. All opinions are my own. Something I love about working from home is being able to wear cozy, relaxing clothing on a regular basis. I only wear dressy clothing for weddings and other nice occasions. Most years, I only dress up three or four times. As a result, I don't need an extensive wardrobe of dresses, skirts or dress shirts and only keep a couple of dressy outfits for each season. A couple of years ago we had two weddings in a row. I didn't Read more [...]

I received products from iHome for my review. All opinions are my own. For Christmas, my daughters, ages 5.5 and almost 8 years old, received tablets from their Grandparents.  To go with these new gifts, my husband came up with the idea of getting them docking station. He wanted them to have something in their rooms that would allow them to listen to music. I wanted a docking station that had an alarm clock to help wake them in time for school. We found what we were both looking for with the Read more [...]

I received product from LittleMissMatched for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 5.5 and 8 (next week) LOVE fashion dolls. They really enjoy being able to mix and match outfits for their dolls. They put on little fashion shows and parade their dolls around to show off their creative outfits. Then they try to mimic the outfits with their own wardrobe. They have so much fun with fashion dolls! Recently I was given the chance to review two new fashion dolls from LittleMissMatched. Read more [...]

  Thank you to Comfy Joey for providing the following product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I discovered my love of baby wearing years ago after the birth of our second child and it has been so handy in so many situations.  One of my favorite times to baby wear is actually when we are out and about shopping.  I quickly discovered with our first child that if the car seat and baby were in the cart, there was very little room for much else so I always had to have Read more [...]

  Thank you to Radison Blu for providing us with accommodations, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   Each year, we try to make time to visit the Mall of America.  It's truly a great Minnesota attraction and definitely has something for everyone.  Most years, we run ourselves ragged the entire day and then head home weary and exhausted when the mall closes down.  This year was different.  We stayed at the Radisson BLU Mall of America.  From the minute Read more [...]
