*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Everyone enjoys summer because it’s the season of beach, parties and vacation. However, people of the opposite sex will not understand why girls feel summer is the best season. For as simple as getting the latest women's perfume to trying out bikinis in the bedroom, we’re showing you 4 reasons why only girls understand that summer is the best. 1. What happens in summer, ends in summer. Just imagine staying for at least a month in Read more [...]

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. I've heard a lot of people say that when it comes to gift-giving, finding a great gift for teenagers is the hardest. My family is really big so we have someone graduating high school almost every single year. Often times, these are kids who I see a couple of times a year, so I'm not usually up-to-date about what they like. Of course, whether they are leaving Read more [...]

*I was provided with tape from Scotch. All opinions are my own. A few years ago I saw these spikey-looking duct-tape flower pens somewhere on the internet. I liked the general idea but wanted to create something that looked more like a real flower. I knew this would mean creating rounded petals instead of pointy ones. I tried following the pointy-flower tutorial but editing it with round petals but it was a disaster. I tried again a few weeks ago, and made a mess yet again. I tried for a third Read more [...]

I received a Diamond Candle for this review. All opinions are my own I love scented products. I love to have incense and scented candles burning nearly all the time. And when it comes to candles, there are all different kinds out there. However, Diamond Candles are a very unique and fun kind of candle. Diamond candles are scented candles with a ring inside! I was very excited to try out a Diamond Candle for myself! I received a Diamond Candle in the Cupcake scent. All Diamond Candles are Read more [...]

Thank you to Sneakz Organic for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   We currently have four children and I consider two to be really good eaters, one mediocre, and one extremely picky.  I do my best to encourage healthy eating habits and serve home cooked meals each day with rare exceptions but am still always on the search for ways to include more nutritious items in our daily diets. 4 Ways To Incorporate Healthy Diets For Kids 1:) Read more [...]

*I partnered with Brooklyn Brew Shop on this post. All opinions are my own. The men in my life are hard to shop for. They don't usually have anything particular in mind that they want. They don't like to spend money on themselves so they usually need things like socks or clothes or gloves but those aren't fun or exciting in any way. Recently, I've been trying out "experience" gifts for men. Instead of buying them a THING, I buy them something fun to do. After all, isn't the purpose of getting Read more [...]

Thank you to Learning Resources for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Toys that encourage learning and imagination or that offer open ended play are my favorites.  One company that I have been a customer of for years now is Learning Resources.  I have found their products to be great quality and the learning behind them has been outstanding.  Back when I was doing daycare, Learning Resources was one of my favorite places to order from.  Even Read more [...]

Thank you to Brylane Home for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. With Summer finally here, we are spending as much time outdoors as possible.  It's nice to be able to head out without bundling up and just enjoy the sunshine.  With four young kids, we are in our yard often and I enjoy being able to sit and relax while watching them play.  We also have a big double birthday bash coming up for two of our boys and will need some additional outdoor Read more [...]

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. When I have downtime, I like to search the internet for clothing and accessories and put together outfits. I love browsing the Fashion section of Pinterest and getting inspiration. Sometimes I even put together outfits for specific events coming up in my life. For example, we are planning to visit Lake Michigan this summer. We like to go to cities that have places to shop and restaurants to try out, so I always bring clothing to put on over my Read more [...]
