Thank you to SunglassesShop.com for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Minnesota Winters can be brutal and it's not unheard of to see a snowstorm in May still!  However, this past week has finally had some days where it feels like Spring has finally arrived.  The sun has been shining and we were even able to go out without a coat for a day or two.  While most days still require outerwear, we do have one day calling for 70 this week.  The weather Read more [...]

Lots of us take vitamins, especially multivitamins. However, we're beginning to learn that multivitamins in pill form are hard for our bodies to absorb. Therefore, we aren't getting all of the vitamins when we take a multivitamin pill. Vemma is a great alternative to a multivitamin pill, as it is a liquid multivitamin and antioxidant. You get essential nutrients, as well as many other health benefits from using Vemma daily. It is also recommended by Dr. Oz! I was very excited to be able to try out Read more [...]

Tonight, our three year old son requested Chocolate Chip Muffins for supper.  (I should first mention that lunch is our big family multi-course meal and supper is a smaller meal of left overs, cereal, or easier items.)  Muffins is something I have typically "cheated" on and used mixes instead of homemade.  It's not that I hadn't tried to make them before but every recipe I had previously tried would turn out dry, crumbly, and be a big disappointment.  However, tonight, I searched our cupboard Read more [...]

Over the years, I have used a lot of different hair products, especially shampoos and conditioners. There are so many out there, and it's hard to decide which are best. I personally consider my hair one of my best features, so I take my hair products pretty seriously. When I heard about DS Laboratories, I knew I just had to try their shampoo and conditioner. DS Laboratories is an innovative, technology company that demands the best from its products. All of its products are clinically tested, and Read more [...]

Thank you Lollipop Seeds for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. When asked why he delivered eggs and candy, the Easter Bunny couldn't remember. He questioned his wise grandmother and she replied: The eggs stand for hope that's born on that day, the candy for joy that lights up your way. And the seeds that we give to plant in the ground, show us how love blooms where kindness is found. Wait! What seeds? Apparently our Easter Bunny forgot Read more [...]

I received products from The Fay Farm for my review. All opinions are my own. I am always looking for natural, healthy, chemical free skin care products and during a recent vacation, I definitely found a new favorite.  The Fay Farm carries a variety of skin care products ranging from lip balm to healing lotion. The Fay Farm Healing Hemp Lotion is amazing.  Although it was specifically developed to ease symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, I found it to be very calming on an undiagnosed Read more [...]

I received products from Sterling Publishing for my review. All opinions are my own. We are book lovers! My daughters have an extensive home library. With that said, I was recently noticing that they have outgrown several of their toddler books. It was time to pass those books along to younger family members and fill the empty spots with more age-appropriate books.  We turned to Sterling Publishing for new titles. For our review we received two story books- Puddle Pug by Kim Norman and How Read more [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC 4-Color pen for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love writing with color - black just seems so boring. I always choose blue over black, and rare colors like green or purple are even more fun. My boyfriend feels like colored ink pens (like green or purple) appear unprofessional so he's always hunting for a black ink pen. Seems how I am usually hte one shopping for pens, I buy the ones I like so he can rarely find a black pen. Bic Read more [...]

Thank you Cherished Reflections for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. This year, my daughter is able to understand a little more about celebrations and special events. We can talk to her about what's coming and she can understand and she gets all excited in anticipation. It's really fun to introduce her to the Easter Bunny, chocolate eggs and all kinds of treats. Having a sweet tooth myself, I'm all for a bit of chocolate but when creating Read more [...]
