Thank you to Hydro Chic for providing me samples, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I love going to the beach and pool with my family.  However, I've always had a hard time finding a great suit and always end up been slightly uncomfortable with what I find at the local stores.  I would prefer a suit that would not only help cover me and be modest but would also help provide adequate sun protection.  I know I could slather on sunscreen all day long but we all know how easy Read more [...]

I received a Bib and Booties Set from Baby Fanatic for review.  All opinions are my own. With baseball season just starting up you can have the cutest baby at the game when you shop at Baby Fanatic.  Your little one may not be able to root for the home team just yet, but they can support your favorite team with the baby essentials that are offered at Baby Fanatic.  Baby Fanatic is a great company that offers anything from bottles, to bibs, to sippy cups, to pacifiers with clips, and so much Read more [...]

I received products from Guillow for my review. All opinions are my own. One afternoon on a weekend FULL of yard work and chores, I surprised my daughters and husband with a box of Guillow Foam Gliders, Balsa Gliders and Balsa Motor Planes. I knew my husband would remember playing with similar aircraft products as a young child. He confirmed that indeed he did have similar products as a youngster and remembered them fondly. My daughters on the other hand, didn't have much, if any, experience with Read more [...]

*I was provided with Petbrosia Dog Food. All opinions are my own. We all recognize that humans have different nutritional needs. For example, 5 foot tall, 110lb 20-year-old woman is going to need a lower calorie intake than a 230lb 6 foot tall guy. Athletes need different levels of carbs and protein than those of a similar size and weight who are less active. So, why do most of us accept that dogs of all sizes, ages, and activity levels should consume the same dog food? My old pugs will still Read more [...]

I am a member of the Jennie-O Switch Circle. I received products from Jennie-O. All opinions are my own. Lately I have been sharing family friendly recipes using Jennie-O turkey. Jennie-O offers several products made with turkey including ground turkey, turkey bacon and turkey sausage. They are all delicious and work well in a variety of recipes. Today I am going to share a Veggie Frittata with Jennie-O turkey breakfast sausage. Originally this recipe used Jennie-O turkey bacon; however, my Read more [...]

I received products from Air Wick for my review. All opinions are my own. I have mentioned before that our house is currently on the market. One of the things I have learned about staging a house is how important smell is. You can have the nicest house, in the best neighborhood, with a great price, if it has a funky smell you are going to lose buyers. I believe the reverse could possibly also work--an OK house priced fairly that’s in a decent neighborhood and when you enter the home, you’re Read more [...]

*I was provided with a set of SwaddleDesigns cotton muslin swaddling blankets. All opinions are my own. I have a really big family, so it's really rare for us to go even a full calendar year without adding a new baby. Sometimes it's a niece, sometimes a nephew, sometimes a cousin and now I am even getting second cousins and great nieces and nephews - but there's almost always a pregnant belly and a baby around, it seems. I couldn't even guess how many times I've been at the hospital, or a birthday Read more [...]

Free Planet Clothing offers young girls a line of apparel that is fashionable, playful and cheerful. Free Planet Clothing uses soft fabrics that are designed with charming prints and sweet embellishments. Currently, Free Planet Clothing offers fun outfit sets, dresses, rompers and denim. For our review, we received two Read more [...]

I received products from Winning Moves for my review. All opinions are my own. Most kids already love bath time but there are instances when young ones need a little enticement to jump into the tub especially if they’re already tired before bedtime.  What fun to get clean and have fun at the same time. That’s what is happening around our home now that Winning Moves provided us with four sets of their Splash Card games.  These are card games that can be played in a pool, bathtub, hot tub, Read more [...]
