    Thank you Distil Union for providing us with a product to review, free of charge. These are our own honest opinions.  Do you carry a large wallet? I did.

Thank you to Tools Of Life for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. With all of the technology and advancements in vehicle safety these days, I feel that our children are quite safe.  When my husband and I purchased his family farm, there was an old style car seat hanging on the wall in the garage.  By car seat, I mean a seat with two hooks that allowed the contraption to hang over the front seat and have the child dangle there.  No straps, buckles, Read more [...]

    Thank you Turkish Towel Store for providing us with products to review, free of charge. These are our own honest opinions.  Sometimes, we are so accustomed to using certain products in our home that we don't even consider there might be better alternatives.
