Thank you Zutano for providing me with products to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring a giveaway These are my own honest opinions. Winter seems to be dragging on and on and on. Most of the snow is gone but the weather is gray and cold and rainy. I can't wait for the grass to be green and fluffy again, for flowers to bloom, for trees to grow their lushious foliage again. Spring is meant to be bright and colorful. Although I can't push Mother Nature along, I can zoom into Spring by choosing Read more [...]

I received Disney books for my review. All opinions are my own. Have you seen Disney’s new movie called Frozen? If not, you are really missing out. In my opinion, this is the best movie Disney has made in a long time. That’s not to say I haven’t liked other recently released Disney movies (Tangled is another favorite), it’s just that Frozen is that good! My daughters can recite most of the movie Frozen. They often act it out and sing the now well-known songs.  When asked who Read more [...]

Thank you to Cudas for sending me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Along with Summer comes trips to the park, beach, zoo, and hitting the trails for walks with our family.  Since Minnesota Winters tend to be so long and cold, we really try to take advantage of the nice weather when it finally comes.  The sunshine is welcoming and we spend time outdoors every day possible.  Growing up, I always had a pair of water shoes for our beach visits but, until recently, Read more [...]

Thank you to Everly Grey Maternity for providing me with samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Pregnancy can be a joyous time.  Once I'm passed the morning sickness, nausea, and extreme tiredness, I do enjoy pregnancy.  Watching my belly grow and feeling the baby move or kick is one of my favorite times.  However, throughout all these changes, I have found that my wardrobe is in dire need of help.  Since this is our 5th baby, I am already outgrowing my "normal" clothes Read more [...]

*I was provided with a Carex Pedal Exerciser Staying active can be more of a challenge when you work from home. You have fewer reasons to leave home, so going to the gym might require a special trip. You don't do as much walking because you're at home most of the day. Most at home jobs are computer jobs, so you just don't move much. Here are a few ideas for staying active while working from home. 1. Schedule in time to work out. As a blogger, I make my own schedule and while it provides Read more [...]

Thank you Mermaid Maternity for sending me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I guess it's time to make the announcement official.  We are expecting baby number 5!  The kids are super excited and so are my husband and I.  This has been another rough pregnancy with severe morning sickness for the first 15 weeks but I finally feel like I've turned a corner and can start to enjoy life again.  Perfect timing too, since Summer is just around the corner.  This may Read more [...]

I received products from Naked Edge Snacks for my review. All opinions are my own. Snacks! Snacks are an important part of our daily menu. My family and I try to choose healthy snacks- fruits, veggies or protein. When we are at home when we’re craving a snack, it is fairly easy to choose something healthy. It’s when we are out and about that choosing a healthy snack can be a challenge. I try to stock up on healthy options that can easily be taken with us when we’re on the go. I recently Read more [...]

Thank you to Tidy Tots Diapers for providing me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Last week, I shared some cloth diapering myths I've discovered since I started using cloth in January.  Now that I have been using Tidy Tots Cloth Diapers for a couple weeks, I wanted to share more of our thoughts. Tidy Tots Diapers are slim!  With the previous brand I was using, our son always had quite a fluffy butt.  The first time I put our son in Tidy Tots and my husband picked Read more [...]

*I do not have experience purchasing from Zarop.com. This is a sponsored blog post* I like finding unique, slightly edgy clothing. It feels like in my area I am really limited to a couple of stores and a lot of other people shop at them. I like having a style that is unique from the people around me, and if we are all shopping at the same places then it's just a matter of time until someone else purchases what I own. So I often turn to online websites to find new and different clothing items to Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post. I am a Shop Your Way blogger and all opinions are my own. Have you ever found yourself running errands in town late at night when you wonder something like "How late is Sears open?" or your husband texts you to say that your refrigerator has died. You bought the extended warrenty, but you aren't sure how the repair process works. You're 10 minutes away from Sears and the baby is asleep - you hate to wake her up to run into the store if it might all be for nothing. Sears Read more [...]
