Thank you SwimZip for providing us with products to review, free of charge. These are our own honest opinions. Spending time in the sun is one of our favorite activities in the summer. Whether we're at the beach, by the pool, or just running through sprinklers or 'shooting' each other with water guns, there's always a lot of fun to be had! However, we have to be mindful of the harmful effects the sun can have on our skin and our children's skin. Given that skin cancer is Read more [...]

I received product from Caralase for my review. All opinions are my own. Wow, yesterday was hot, hot, hot! Oregonians are not used to temperatures in the upper 90s as they have been recently.  I think we start melting around 89 degrees…Lol. Luckily for us, today is much cooler and only in the upper 70s. I really like this temperature. It is nice and warm but not uncomfortably hot. It makes being outside really enjoyable. Today I am going to share with you two of my newest summer-friendly Read more [...]

I received product from Zoku for my review. All opinions are my own. Nothing goes better with warm summer weather than a cool drink or treat. Like most kids, my daughters love popsicles. Not only do they enjoy eating them but they also love to make them. They really enjoy coming up with new flavor combinations too. For our review, Zoku sent my daughters a Fish Pop Mold. This cleaver kitchen gadget allows them to create six frozen pops with fun aquatic themes.   Each of Read more [...]

*I was sent items from Minimus. All opinions are my own. For years I've carried around a large purse. On occasion, people have picked up my purse to move it out of their way and been shocked at how heavy it was. I've heard "What do you keep in there? Bricks?" on multiple occasions. I like to be prepared, and in the past the best way I knew of to be prepared was to keep too much stuff in my purse. Having emergency items in my purse has helped me out in so many situations. I once had a bra Read more [...]

I received products from Vega for my review. All opinions are my own. About 2 years ago, I began drinking protein shakes. I find them to be a nice morning or afternoon snack between meals. I have tried a few different brands over the years; some were OK and others were not so much. At the risk of sounding like a cheesy infomercial, my all-time favorite protein shake comes from Vega!!! Vega offers products that support a vegan/plant based diet. At Vega, they believe in creating products Read more [...]

Thank you to Sow Much Love for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I started cloth diapering with our 4th child just over six short months ago as my New Years Resolution because he was reacting to the "green" disposables that were costing me a small fortune each month.  I am still in awe over how much I enjoy using cloth diapers on our son and I can't wait to jump into cloth from the get-go with baby #5 who is due in a few months.  I came across Read more [...]

Thank you to RW Garcia Snacks for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I am always on the search for great tasting healthier snack options to offer my family.  I like to have a variety on hand at all times to suit everyone's different taste preferences.  Lately, I've been striving even more to eliminate "junk food" and keep a better stock of offerings ready to grab.  Last year, I had partnered with RW Garcia to bring you a review on some of Read more [...]

I received products from Wild Butterfly Boutique for my review. All opinions are my own. For my regular followers, you may have noticed that I have added a few new statement necklaces to my wardrobe. Three of my necklaces came from Wild Butterfly Boutique. I have worked with Wild Butterfly Boutique before so I knew they were the place to go for my new pieces of jewelry. For my review, I received a Long Chevron Necklace, Infinity Necklace and Pink Designer Inspired Jasmine Statement Necklace. The Chevron Read more [...]
