Thank you to Tudor Games for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I have never been the most athletic person.  Actually, I was usually chosen last for teams throughout my school years!  Being short and tiny didn't add much to a team since I didn't have much power being any hits, kicks, or moves.  Even so, I do enjoy catching games from time to time.  I may not understand all the rules or calls but I find being a spectator much more fun for me Read more [...]

I received product from Perfect Fuel Chocolate for my review. All opinions are my own. As a stay at home mom of two sweet little girls, I have my moments where I need a little pick-me-up. Whether it is a rough Monday, lack of sleep, something work related, cranky kid(s), irritated spouse or whatever, I have times where I need a little push. Before, I would turn to a second cup of coffee but now, I turn to Perfect Fuel Chocolate. Perfect Fuel Chocolate helps me get my day back on track in a healthy Read more [...]

I received products from The Frozen Bean for my review. All opinions are my own. This has been a hot and unusually muggy summer for us here in Oregon. We have consistently had 90 degree days over the past several weeks. The humidity reminds me of my visits to the East Coast. Some days it feels nice and other days, it’s just too much. On those days, we end up hiding inside with the air conditioner. Inside or outside, we love having a cool drink in our hands. I recently discovered a company Read more [...]

Thank you to Philips AVENT for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. There are some products that I have come to rely on as a parent.  One product that I do consider a necessity is a baby monitor.  Back when I did daycare for five years, I had multiple monitors so I could keep a closer watch/ear on all of the children during nap time.  They gave me a sense of peace knowing everything was okay as I could listen to the rhythmic breathing through the Read more [...]

I received products from Gorilla Glue for my review. All opinions are my own. When many people are faced with a home repair, they turn to duct tape for a quick temporary fix. Not me! I like something a little stronger. I like something that will be a quick permanent fix. I turn to Gorilla Glue for my repairs…and leave that other brand for craft projects. Gorilla Glue offers their original glue, super glue, plus super glue gel, epoxy, wood glue, tape and storage bags. All Gorilla products Read more [...]

*I was provided with dolls from Nenuco. All opinions are my own. For most of my childhood, baby dolls were my favorite type of toy. I loved them so much as a child that I get excited when I have the chance to share that enjoyment with my nieces or other children in my life. Kelsie is now 16 months old and while most of what she tries to say is still hard to understand,s he says "baby" very clearly. I have a plush rattle-style doll that she always shrieks "baby" at. She picks it up and says Read more [...]

*I was provided with an Optical 4 Less gift card. All opinions are my own. I was in seventh grade when I started wearing glasses full-time. I was still immature enough that I was pretty rough on my glasses for the first few years, so I had "accidents" with several pairs. I remember being surprised how my glasses cost over $300 once. We never paid for any "upgrades" like tinted lenses or anti-glare coating. So, that sounded like a lot of money to me when I was a young teenager. The first few years Read more [...]

Thank you to Brylane Home for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Along with back-to-school comes the early morning rush for both parents and kids alike.  I remember the stress I felt back when I was a kid as the minutes ticked away while getting dressed, trying to eat breakfast, and get out the door to catch the bus.  Unfortunately, I recall many mornings where I would run out of time and end up skipping breakfast, which is definitely not Read more [...]

Thank you to Liz And Roo Fine Baby Bedding for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   The countdown is on as we continue to prepare for our newest arrival.  I am down to my every other week doctor visits but am feeling great and the whole family is excited for the baby's arrival.  Part of our preparation is some new baby bedding.  While our 2 year old still uses the crib, I know there will be times the baby will also use the crib (not Read more [...]
