Thank you to Junah for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. We have five children so I have spent a fair share of time being pregnant and having young children.  And while baby-wearing didn't go well with our first child because I just had a cheap, unsupportive carrier, the rest of our children have been worn for 2+ years each.  With baby #5 at just over two months old now, I heavily rely on baby-wearing so I can accomplish everything I need to Read more [...]

  Thank you to Creative Cookiez for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I have a round silicone pan that I love and have used for biscuits for years but have just recently discovered the Creative Cookiez Silicone Baking Cups for muffins, cupcakes, and other goodies. Since I love making fresh muffins for breakfast and occasionally make cupcakes for dessert, I was really excited to try these out. I was craving a treat so I decided to make my Trim Read more [...]

  Thank you to rove for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   As I've gotten older, I've become more aware of the carbon footprint I leave.  For multiple reasons, we started cloth diapering almost a year ago now.  I also strive to use containers as opposed to throw away baggies and fill a reusable water bottle or travel mug from home when I head out.  I know there are lots of great things that everyone can do and companies like rove Read more [...]

*Chanteur Designs provided product samples in exchange for gift guide inclusion. All opinions are my own. Chanteur Designs is a site that sells high quality children's jewelry. They have bracelets, earrings, and necklaces for little girls in sterling silver and gold. When I was a little girl, I had an eye for jewelry. Unlike most little girls, I wasn't particularly interested in fashion or dressing up. I wanted jewelry like I saw my mom, grandma nad aunts wear - a single set of jewelry that could Read more [...]

*Berkshire Blanket sent product samples for my review. All opinions are my own. Berkshire Blanket specializes in high quality bedding related items. I was a "blanket baby" as a child and have never outgrown my love for blankets and throws. Each year I seem to purchase at least a couple of new throws or blankets so our stash has gotten pretty big. I had a Berkshire Blanket throw that was one of my favorites because it's really soft but it doesn't cause me to overheat. It's longer than most of our Read more [...]

I received product from Shirts.Com for this review. All opinions are my own. I love fun casual clothing. Shirts from a TV show, game, or book I like are always fun. I also enjoy shirts with witty phrases, or those that are just unique. I dress casually for work, so t-shirts, hoodies, long sleeved shirts work great for me and are items I can wear all the time. Shirts.Com has tons of unique, funny, stylish shirts at great prices. You can even create and customize your own shirt! A shirt from Shirts.Com Read more [...]

*Peachtree Publishers sent books in exchange for gift guide inclusion. All opinions are my own. Peachtree YA Books. Peachtree has a great section of young adult books that will appeal to tween and teenage girls who enjoy reading. My niece likes to read and I picked out The Theory Of Everything and This Girl Is Different both by J.J Johnson for her. The Theory of Everything is about a teen girl whose best friend died in a car accident and her attempts to “pull herself together” Read more [...]

  Thank you to SoCozy for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this post.  All opinions are my own.   Are you looking for some practical Stocking Stuffers for Christmas?  Over the years, I've found that our kids love having their very own personal care products.  That includes chap sticks, combs, and even shampoos, conditioners, and soap.  They feel special when they know that a certain bottle is especially for them.  Well, I recently discovered SoCozy Read more [...]

Thank you to Little Trendsetters for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. One thing I really like about this time of year while shopping is discovering new stores, shops, and neat little products.  With five kids, there seems to be a vast array of personality differences and personal preferences, clothing styles included.  So I went searching for some trendy and fun pieces and came across the company, Little Trendsetter. We received the Flower Read more [...]

      Thank you Fantasy Flight Games for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. I love table games. It's my favorite activity to do with friends and family and with the Holidays just around the corner, I look forward to the great time I'll spend playing countless games. Of course, I always like to bring a few new games every year. This year, I am thrilled to have received games from Fantasy Flight Games. Have you ever heard Read more [...]
