Thank you to Open Road Snacks for sending me samples of their product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   We love to snack.  As a family of 6, I seem to always be purchasing snacks.  A big issue I have in the snack department is finding food that is not loaded with tons of preservatives and GMOs.  Thankfully, I have finally found something that is not only healthy, but easy to grab for on the go.  The person I struggle finding a snack for the most is my husband Read more [...]

*I was provided with a complimentary tech stand from Calico Designs. All opinions are my own. I've recently tested out three stands intended to be used with laptops and my ultimate favorite for using with my laptop has been the Tech Stand from Calico Designs. The Tech Stand takes a little bit of assembly but it wasn't hard at all. The tech stand is a really simple, basic stand that doesn't take up much space at all. It's basically a pole with an arm and surface on it, so it is great Read more [...]

This is a Fashionista Events opportunity. Whenever I heard that Muppets Most Wanted was coming out, I couldn't wait to see it. It comes to theaters in just a few days now and I can't wait to see it. I enjoyed other Muppet movies as a kid and like listening to Ricky Gervais's podcast. Then I came across the video below and found it so funny. I've always thought it was kinda funny how so many celebrities create perfumes or clothing lines because they don't usually seem related to their profession Read more [...]

Thank you to NoJo Bedding for providing me with a sample, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. We were sent the Kulala 4 Piece Set for our son's crib.  I was really excited about the prospect of a beautiful matching crib set because I had previously owned a set that I had purchased used on a garage sale for our older children.  The Kulala Set from NoJo includes: a comforter, crib sheet, dust ruffle, and diaper stacker.  This set encompasses a jungle safari theme of peaceful Read more [...]

I received product from Synergy Organic Clothing for my review. All opinions are my own. Today is a busy day for me. It started off with a lot of work items on my to-do list. I had what I call “work-work” that needed to get done, I had household chores waiting for me, I wanted to spend time home schooling my youngest, and I wanted to spend some time reading a book that I’m trying to finish in a timely manner. It was going to be one of those days where I bounced from task to task. I knew Read more [...]

Thank you to Ozeri for providing me with a sample Green Earth Pan, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I've made no secret that I enjoy cooking for my family.  While there are times, when I am sick or just stuck in a cooking rut, that I do wish my husband knew how to provide a meal of more than just cold cereal, I truly don't mind being the parent that does the cooking.  I tend to find my time in the kitchen to be relaxing and a great learning experience for our children and Read more [...]

*I was provided with sippy cups from The First Years. All opinions are my own. My sister has a work schedule that is always changing her days and hours. My mom works every other day, so her schedule flip-flops every week. My mom watches my sisters children if my sister is working while my mom is off, but when they both work at the same time, I often pick up the slack by having the kids. With their changing schedules, the amount of time that I have the kids varies but it usually works out to Read more [...]

Listening to music has never been so convenient and simple as it is today. Now we all have music on MP3 players, or on our phones, and can easily listen to it with headphones. However, it's often nice to play the music aloud for everyone to hear. That's when a wireless speaker comes in handy. The Lepow Modre is a wireless bluetooth speaker that can be connected to any phone, or other devices, with bluetooth, and play the music. I was lucky enough to be able to try out the Lepow Modre speaker. I Read more [...]

Distilled water has become quite popular. Most bottled water brands are made from distilled water, which creates a nice clean taste, and completely removes contaminants, as well as additives to our water, like fluoride. After personally reading up a lot about fluoride, I decided that I no longer wanted to ingest fluoridated water, or other products. This left me with only a few options. I could drink solely distilled bottled water, which would be both expensive, and create a lot of plastic waste, Read more [...]
