I received products from Nona Lim for this review. All opinions are my own With fall weather taking over, it's definitely soup season. Since I eat gluten-free, and try to eat as healthy as possible, it's often hard for me to find soups. Very often, soups will contain gluten in the form of flour as a thickener, along with lots of preservatives. However, Nona Lim has a line of soups, as well as noodles, that are all gluten free, preservative free, non-gmo project verified and all natural. I was Read more [...]

Thank you to Just Pretend Kids for providing me with a Lion Costume, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. While my kids do enjoy Halloween, trick-or-treeting, and all that goes along with that, I typically dread the process of finding costumes.  We've been disappointed so many times in the past by the poor quality we've found at the stores.  So this time, I turned online and found Just Pretend Kids.  They offer a variety of Costumes, Dress Ups, Tutus, Wings, Party Supplies, Read more [...]

*This is a sponsored guest post. Opinions expressed in this blog post do not necessarily reflect my own. Most parents know only too well that getting the kids to bed can be a struggle. However, it is important for children's development and the quality of their schooling that bedtimes follow a regular pattern. Choosing the right bedding for your children can prevent tears at bedtime and even make settling down for the night fun. The most important part of children's bedding is, of course, Read more [...]

Thank you to LockerLookz for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Since school is now in session and our new baby is almost here, I didn't make it to the school for test photos.  Instead, the new LockerLookz products in this post will be going under the tree for an amazing fourteen year old girl who has spent the last two Summers visiting us a couple times a week and helping me out with the kids.  She deserves some awesome products to make her locker Read more [...]

I received products from Aura Cacia Essential Oils for my review. All opinions are my own. Essential oils are all the rage right now in home remedies. It seems like everyone has an oil or a blend that can sooth whatever ails you. All of the homeopathic talk caught my attention and left me wanting to learn more. I reached out to Aura Cacia for help. For my review, I was sent Sweet Orange oil, Peppermint oil, Lavender oil, Eucalyptus oil and Sweet Almond skin care oil. While out on the Read more [...]

I received product from Sparkup Reader.com. All opinions are my own. Cheyenne, my 5 year old daughter, just started kindergarten. Though most kids entering kindergarten don’t know how to read, it has been skills we have pushed to have our girls know beforehand. Learning to read at a young age gives kids a feeling of independence and pride. The look on their little faces when they read something on their own is magical. At this point, I would consider Cheyenne to be an ‘early reader’. Read more [...]

*Banfield Pet Hospital provided me with the Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan & 6 month Proheart treatment. All opinions are my own. When we had pets growing up, caring for them seemed so simple. Give them food everyday, make sure they have a constant source of water, let them outside a few times a day and if they get sick or hurt take them to the vet. My pugs Frank & Beans were the first dogs that I ever had as an adult on my own. I did a fair amount of research about pugs prior to getting Read more [...]

I am not being paid or sponsored for this post. These are my opinions, my website and I benefit from selling these products. About two years ago,  I started sharing my weight loss journey will all of you. In the beginning, I chose to use a weight loss program who delivered pre-portioned food to your door. At the time, that was exactly what I needed. I needed someone to tell me what to do and when because I really didn't know what to do. This program worked for me. I was really successful while Read more [...]

Thank you to Hauck i'coo for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. All four of our children enjoy playing "baby" with their dolls or stuffed animals.  Whether it be feeding them, wearing, them, pushing them in a stroller, or just carrying them around outside while they play, hours upon hours are spent in their imaginative play with their babies.  I love seeing our 2 year old carry a baby around now too.  He'll pretend to feed it a bottle or give Read more [...]
