With the weather getting warmer, and the sun coming out, sunglasses are definitely a must have. And if you're like me, you seem to need a pair or two just about every year, because you lose them all the time! Corinne McCormack has a line of sunglasses and sunreaders that are cute, stylish, affordable, and would make a great mother's day gift! I received the following from Corinne McCormack for review: I received the Annette in Turquoise. The Reina-Golden in Leopard. The Didi-Red Read more [...]

Thank you to Pacific Baby for providing me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Recently, I read an article stating that even BPA free plastics can release other chemicals and hormones in the food and beverages they are storing.  Since then, I have slowly been replacing the majority of our older plastic children's products with safer alternatives.  Anything that we were still using from our first child nine years ago is being phased out.  Thankfully, I came across Read more [...]

This is a sponsored review. All opinions are my own. Ryan started smoking when he was about 21. While I don't like that he smokes, I am thankful that smoking (and smokers) have changed a lot in the last 20 years. When I was little, the smokers who I knew all smoked inside their homes. This included my dad, so when we would come back to my mom's house all of our belongings that we had taken to my dad's smelled like smoke. I knew so many adults who were oblivious to the fact that their smoke Read more [...]

I received a Fellowes Aeramax air purifier for review.  All opinions are my own. When I was a child my dad was in the military so we moved around quite a bit.  I was at the age where I specifically remember living in California.  I never remember having any type of allergy problems and could play outside all day long if my parents would let me.  My family and I moved to Georgia in 1989 and my allergies hit me like a ton a bricks.  Throughout my childhood and adult life I have been treated for Read more [...]

I received products from WackaDoodle Books for my review. All opinions are my own. As many of you know, my daughters (ages 5 and 7) LOVE books. What some of you may not know is that my husband and I read with our girls almost every night. Reading bedtime books has been a part of our bedtime routine since they were just a few months old. My husband is the parent who reads with them on a more regular basis. Since I’m a stay-at-home Mom and am able to spend more time with them throughout the day, Read more [...]

Thank you Super Duper Publications for providing me with  a product to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring this giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. Learning and having fun shouldn't be mutually exclusive. In fact, we know that kids learn more easily and retain information better when they are having fun. Yet, so often learning feels like work and having fun just means being silly without a purpose. Whenever I find a game or an activity that combines both, I know I've got the Read more [...]

Thank you to Austin Lloyd for providing me with a sample box, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Nursery Books for providing me with samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   Many people find the newborn and infant stages of childhood to be difficult and somewhat boring.  When a new baby arrives, they don't tend to do a whole lot besides eat, sleep, and fill their diapers.  While I actually enjoy the newborn and infant stage, I understand why many find it hard to interact with babies.  Here are some ideas on how to spend quality time with Read more [...]

I've personally never been much of a coffee drinker, but I've always liked tea. There's nothing like a warm cup of tea to help you wake up in the morning, or relax in the evening. And it's always the first drink I turn to whenever I've sick, or now that I've been getting a scratchy throat due to allergies. Tea is good for many different occasions and makes a great gift, especially Pukka Tea. Pukka Tea is quality herbal tea in many different flavorful and beneficial combinations. They also come in Read more [...]
