*The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free* We've went WAY too long since we last bought a TV. Ours is old and small and has a flaw in the screen. I've been dreaming about buying a TV for ourselves for Christmas. I love staying up to date with technology and we've let our TV hang around for far too long. When I think TV's I immediately think of Best Buy because I love walking through their TV section Read more [...]

*Thanks SIX:02 for providing product samples and a gift card. All opinions are my own. It's hard for me to believe that my little sister will be 11.5 this Christmas. She's not in middle school and the kids at her school have all kinds of opinions about what is and isn't cool. I think it's cool how it's currently "cool" to wear fitness apparel brands and to be active. I try to keep a close eye on her thoughts, views and opinions of health and wellness and of herself in general. However, for now Read more [...]

I received product from Raskullz for my review. All opinions are my own. A number of boys and girls will receive new bikes, scooters, skateboards, skates, or other adventurous toys this holiday season. It is important to remember safety gear when playing with these new items. Do you need knee or elbow pads? Do you need new gloves? How about a new helmet? My girls are getting new scooters. I wanted to make sure their helmets were the right size. I noticed they are both outgrowing their current Read more [...]

Thank you to Feber for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. As a child, I always wanted a ride on vehicle.  I'd see them on TV with a catchy jingle that would stay in my head for days.  Unfortunately, I never was lucky enough to own one.  Now that I have children of my own, I have seen that same longing in their eyes but a couple years ago, my parents bestowed our (three at the time) kids with a ride on.  As the years pass, though, our two older Read more [...]

Looking for a quality cookware set that will be sure to please for years? Food and Wine worked with Gorham to create high-performance stainless steel cookware.

They are designed to perform well on most stovetops and are oven safe up to 500°F. Read more [...]

*Thank you Zippo for the product samples. All opinions are my own. I grew up in (and still live in) a really small mid-western town. I know a lot of people who rely on wood stoves to heat their homes, who burn their paper/cardboard trash, who regularly go camping and have bonfires in the summer. As a result of these things, I knew what a Zippo was from the time that I was really little. It was just an accepted fact that Zippo was the best brand of lighter and that you spend money on the good brand Read more [...]

*Thank you Kikkerland for providing me with products for review. All opinions are my own. I love unique home decor. I love squirky and silly practical items that are made to look like other things. If you or someone you know is into quirky home decor, be sure to check out the Kikkerland brand this Christmas. I was sent several items for my home and they were all well made and make me smile each time I see them. The first item I selected is the Doormat Owl. My old doormat/rug was an promoted as an Read more [...]

I received products from NOW Foods for my review. All opinions are my own. Have you jumped on the essential oil band-wagon? I recently did! Essential oils are a natural way to cure many ailments. Different herbs can help with everything from colic, to colds, sore muscles, poor moods, insomnia, lack of appetite, and much more. Essential oils can be massaged into the skin with carrier oil or used in a diffuser. Since I am still an essential-oils newbie, I was excited when NOW Foods offered me a Read more [...]

    Thank you Chicco Canada for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. It can be a challenge to find a stroller that lets you go where you actually want to go. Sometimes the wheels are too small and can't handle rough terrain. Sometimes the stroller is too wide and will become cumbersome in crowded spaces. Sometimes the stroller itself is just too heavy to lug around and stow in the car. The Activ3 from Chicco actually tackles Read more [...]
