*I was sent a complimentary Calico Designs Laptop Cart With Mouse Tray. All opinions are my own. A few weeks ago I wrote a Calico Designs Tech Stand Review where I discussed how much I had been enjoying using the tech stand as a laptop desk. They also sent me their Calico Designs Laptop Cart with Mouse Tray for review. The day that the desks arrived, Ryan claimed the Laptop Cart as his own, even though he uses a desktop instead of a laptop. Ryan's old desk was a big, bulky, traditional Read more [...]

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Coupons.com. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic. Easter seems like it is so late this year. It's kind of nice, though because it gives us more time to prepare. Recently, Ryan & I were talking about what we would do for Easter this year and then got talking about how Easter traditions from our childhoods. My family is pretty big, my grandparents had six children and as a child Read more [...]

I blog about my two pugs Frank & Beans all the time. Those of you who have been reading for a while will remember that I've only had them since this summer but they are older dogs. Everyone who hears that they were 8 and 9 when we got them asks what their story is... A couple of years ago Ryan was online and he showed me a photo of a human "selfie" with a cross-eyed pug photobombing in the background. We laughed and one of us jokingly said that we should get a pug to photobomb our pictures. Read more [...]

Thank you to Ozeri for providing me with a set of their Double Wall Insulated Beverage Glasses, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Growing up, we only saw my dads side of the family a couple times a year at most.  The one time that we were guaranteed to gather with that side of the family, though, was on Christmas Day.  I would look forward to this day in anticipation for multiple reasons.  The first being that we would go to my Aunt Irma and Uncle Jack's house which also Read more [...]

*I was provided with a Silly Rhino subscription box subscription. All opinions are my own. I've tried out a few different types of subscription boxes for myself or for my dogs, so I was excited to test out Silly Rhino which is a subscription box for kids ages 0-4. It's still in the early stages as it just began in December. I was sent a February box. The website says the boxes ship out between the 20th and 22nd of each month. I got a notification on February 22nd that my box had a label created Read more [...]

Thank you PEEPS for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. My daughter loves to be in the kitchen with me. I try and include her in the cooking and baking as much as possible but it isn't always easy to find tasks for her because she is only 2. This year, I wanted to create fun Easter-themed recipes for her and I to do. It had to be easy and kid-friendly, it had to be quick, and of course it had to be colorful and yummy. PEEPS has tons of marshmallow Read more [...]

*I was provided with an over-sink roll up strainer. All opinions are my own. My Kitchen is truly tiny. It has less counter space than any other kitchen that I've seen. When we looked at our apartment prior to deciding to move in, we noticed the shelf against one wall. We thought it was there to hold a microwave, so we would have a small but do-able counter top. After signing the lease and bringing our microwave in - we realized the shelf is very shallow, so even a very small microwave would hang Read more [...]

I recently introduced you to Feltman Brothers and I am excited to share my personal experience with you and show you the clothes I received for review in action.  Feltman Brothers offers a great selection of hand embroidered baby clothes for both boys and girls.  Being that I have 2 boys, I have always found it quite difficult to find special outfits that my husband and I just loved.  My husband and I found several outfits that we liked from Feltman Brothers, but we wanted to find something that Read more [...]

I received products from Wonder Forge for my review. All opinions are my own. Wonder Forge is one of my favorite “go to” places for family board games.   Our family’s three generations play a lot of board and card games and we always like to find new ones to try. For my review, Wonder Forge graciously provided me with three games….Disney’s Frozen Matching game, Marvel’s Matching game, and Disney’s Planes Sky Race action game. Both of the matching games are geared toward children Read more [...]

Thank you to Bari Koral Family Rock Band for sending me a copy of their new release "The Apple Tree & The Honey Bee" for review.  All opinions are my own. I love having music flow through our home.  Whether one of our children is practicing a musical instrument such as piano or violin or if we are listening to a cd or the radio, the mood in the house becomes instantly upbeat when there is music.  The kids join in by singing, dancing, or evening jumping around to the beat.  So we aways Read more [...]
