I received Twigz products from Kids Goods for my review. All opinions are my own. I have wanted to build a family garden for a couple years now. For a variety of different reasons, we’ve been putting the project off. This year, I decided it was time to turn what was previously our RV pad, into the family garden area. This space was perfect; it receives lots of sunlight and isn’t in our yard so it would get trampled on as much. When building our family gardens, I wanted to make sure Read more [...]

I received products from Socks In Stock. All opinions are my own. My daughters love socks. It doesn’t really matter if they are athletic socks, ankle socks, fashion socks, mismatched socks, knee/boot socks, tights or anything else; they love their socks. I often think about rearranging their dresser drawers to dedicate one drawer specifically for their socks. Last Christmas I found a fun company called Socks In Stock. Socks In Stock carries several different sock brands. One of our favorite Read more [...]

Thank you JORD for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Yes, you heard me right. My new favorite fashion accessory is defined not by its color but by its material. I'm talking about my beautiful wood watch from JORD. Yes, there is such a thing as a wooden watch. And yes, it works just like a regular watch. But it has a warm and stylish feel that a metal or rubber watch doesn't have. Not to mention the one-of-a-kind factor! JORD's watches Read more [...]

I received products from Candlewick Press for my review. All opinions are my own. I think books make terrific books for all occasions and for all ages. I often turn to Candlewick Press for my book needs; this Easter is no exception. Candlewick Press books  were happy to send me some Easter basket gift ideas. For our review, we received four books: Knitty Kitty, Welcome to the Bed & Biscuit, And Here’s to You!, and Judy Moody and the Bad Luck Charm. Knitty Kitty is about a mama Read more [...]

Thank you Ingenuity for sending me a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. There are many products that parents find as "must haves" once they have children.  From the necessities such as a crib, car seat, and a diaper bag to some great must have toys, babies use lots of stuff.  When it came to toys though, we went through a lot of trial and error with our kids.  While many toys were bright, eye-cathing, and looked great to me as the mom, they fell flat with our children.

*I was provided complimentary himalayan dog chews. All opinions are my own. When I got my pugs Frank & Beans in July of 2013, it was the first time that I had a dog as an adult. Growing up we had dogs but they weren't my responsibility and so I never really paid a lot of attention to the details of dog ownership. I knew that some people used rawhide chews with their dogs to give them something to chew on but it wasn't until after I got Frank & Beans that I learned that rawhide is really Read more [...]

I received products from Educational Insights. All opinions are my own. I went a bit overboard with my daughters’ Easter baskets this year. I don’t like giving them a bunch of sugar treats so I try to fill their baskets with things they need, can use, and will enjoy. Adding Educational Insights to their basket was a no-brainer. Educational Insights toys are fun and educational! Recently both of my daughters have become interested in science. They just completed a special day of science Read more [...]

I received products from Tervis for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 7 and almost 5, love having the same products that mom and dad have. One of the items they want to have are travel mugs. My favorite travel mug is a “MOM” tumbler I received from Tervis. There have been many mornings when I’ve found myself racing to beat the girls to my coffee mug because they want to use it. I decided a solution would be to add 10 ounce Tervis tumblers and travel lids to their Easter Read more [...]

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Kohl’s. I received a gift card as a thank you for participating. Here in Michigan, spring usually comes pretty late - it often feels like winter and then summer instead of having spring in between. It's 10 degrees outside at my house right now! This often leads to me forgetting about the fact that warmer weather is coming, and I put off shopping for warmer clothing until the last minute when stores are picked over. This year, Read more [...]
