I received product from BlankieGram for my review. All opinions are my own. Have you ever given much thought to the powers of a blanket? Blankets are warming, comforting and soothing. They have many of the same powers as a hug. This physical and emotional connection is the same across the world. No matter where you live, we all feel the same reassuring feeling when wrapped in a blanket. That’s pretty wonderful if you ask me. Recently, I discovered a company called BlankieGram; they Read more [...]

Thank you to Rock-A-Bums for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. There is an estimated 27.4 billion disposable diapers used each year in the US.  The results equal about 3.4 million tons of used diapers ending up in landfills every single year.  Adding in the fact that it takes anywhere from 200 to 500 years for those diapers to decompose, means there must be a more environmentally friendly way.  Enter Rock-A-Bums. I was sent the Zanadu 2.0 with Read more [...]

*I received compensation for this post, but all opinions are my own. My nephew Drew turned 4 in August and he's been a pro at using apps on phones and tablets for quite a while now. There have been situations when we went on long car rides, or had incredibly long and boring waiting room visits where I was so thankful to have a phone or tablet on hand to entertain him with. I try to steer Drew towards apps that are educational so I was excited to hear about a new app that is coming out for preschoolers Read more [...]

I received products from Josiah's Oils for my review. All opinions are my own. I am really intrigued by the powers of essential oils and aromatherapy products. I find it fascinating how smelling an essential oil can help heal us both physically and emotional. It just reiterates how important our mind is and how it can heal or harm us. I really don't think we pay enough attention to that mind and body connection. In my quest to learn more, I stumbled upon a company named Josiah's Oils. This Read more [...]

Thank you to G.H. Cretors for providing me with samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. My family loves snacks.  Almost every day, my husband comes in the house before evening milking and the kids and him all sit down to have a snack together.  Or, when we head outside to play in the afternoons, the kids are always grabbing something to munch on as they walk out the door.  I don't mind them snacking since we do sit down and have a big family breakfast and lunch together Read more [...]

Thank you to Strawberry Kids for providing me with a coat, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Ahhhhh.  October is now here and that means it's about time to break out the Winter coats here in Minnesota.  While we may still have some nice Fall days where we can go without any coats, those days are almost gone.  This whole week, my kids have been double layering with a sweatshirt and lightweight coat when heading outdoors.  Soon, even that won't be enough.  So Strawberry Read more [...]

Thank you to KicKee Pants for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I came across the company KicKee Pants last year and fell in love with their quality and styles.  Not only is KicKee Pants a family ran company, they strive to make their products from extraordinarily breathable, comfortable, and stylish organically grown bamboo materials and offer soft and cozy lines for all seasons.  Their goal is to provide clothing that is unrestrictive and Read more [...]

    Thank you Juice In The Box for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. It's one thing to choose green alternatives around the house, it's another one to choose green altnernatives on the go or when you're away from home. It seems that so many products are designed specifically for a single use because it's more convenient. Sure, it might be convenient in the short term but the impact on our environment will be anything but convenient Read more [...]

Thank you to Blue Baby Bum for providing me with product, free of charge for review.  All opinions are my own. With five children, we've experienced the newborn stage at different times of year.  We have had one Spring Baby, two Summer Babies, and now we've just added our second Fall Baby.  While I truly preferred our Spring and Summer babies just for the ease of getting out and about without having to bundle up, I'm happy that there are great companies like Blue Baby Bum that knows the needs Read more [...]
