*This is a sponsored article.   Keeping your home safe from intruders is one of the most important parts of your day-to-day life. Nobody wants to come in to find they’ve been the victim of crime and so putting locks on doors and windows is something to be aware of. Perhaps they already have locks on, but don’t think that this is the end of the job, many locks are easy to break by a professional thief so you should look to upgrade if they don’t meet certain British Read more [...]

Technology is improving so quickly and internet fads are coming and going quickly as well. I'm only 23 but on occasion I hear kids talking about some new site or app that has exploded in popularity months before that I hadn't heard about. I sometimes worry about what my 11 year old sister comes across online, but I also know that being connected to the internet is a huge benefit for her as well. I know that when I was her age, I was more interested in listening to the young adults in my life Read more [...]

    Thank you SoleRebels for providing me with products to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring this giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. Once upon a time, there was a driven and passionate woman who decided she wanted to make the world a better place. What a great idea, right? But how does one go about it in concrete terms? Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu knew exactly what needed to happen. She wanted to start a business that would hire and train those that were considered Read more [...]

Thank you to Cherryvale Farms for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I truly enjoy cooking and baking for my family most of the time.  I love creating yummy recipes from scratch when time allows and serving fresh from the oven goodies.  I didn't get much of that growing up but my husband did so it's something I strive to do for my husband and children.  I love hearing my husband talk about all the things his mother would make and serve or Read more [...]

Thank you to Operation ResCUTE for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Before we know it, the holidays will be here.  I have a hard time thinking that because Summer went by way too fast and has really just ended.  However, our Minnesota weather has already started turning cool.  While I'm definitely not ready to see the snow fly yet, we've been known to have snowstorms as early as October which puts everyone in our family in the Christmas spirit Read more [...]

Last year I reviewed the Richell USA Pet Stuff Storage Tower. I loved it then and I still do. It was a great solution to my "what on earth do we do with all of this dog stuff?" problem. We use the bottom for storing kibble and the top for storing toys, chews and treats. I love how it's vertical so it takes up a minimal amount of floor space in my apartment. A couple of months ago I had a new dog-related problem to solve so once again I turned to a Richell USA product. This time the problem Read more [...]

I am part of the Jennie-O Switch Circle. I received products for my review. All opinions are my own. Ahh…back to school time. Back to a routine and chaos. Between school, homework and extracurricular activities, many families find themselves constantly rushing.  Family dinners get replaced with drive-through that is eaten in the car on the way to the next event. You get home late, rush to finish up and then head to bed only to repeat it the next day. I call it controlled chaos. Even Read more [...]

I received product from YesStyle.com for my review. All opinions are my own. Last week, my older daughter had her first day of 2nd grade. While she doesn’t need me to walk her into class, I wanted to do the “mom” thing by walking her in, greeting her teachers and taking lots of photos. I decided to wear my new top from YesStyle.com so that I would also look nice that day…not just the new students. For my review, I received The Quilted Long-Sleeved Sweater from the Stylementor clothing Read more [...]

I received product from Paderno World Cuisine for my review. All opinions are my own. Not quite four weeks ago, I started a nutritional cleansing program. This program helps reduce the toxins in our bodies that have been put there from our environment, the foods we eat, our water, the cosmetics we use and so on. Part of what makes this program so successful is that it goes hand in hand with clean eating. The more organic farm-fresh foods you can eat, the better. The products we get in our grocery Read more [...]
