*I was provided with Dinosaur Train products in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. My nephew Drew is 3 and he's a fan of the show Dinosaur Train that is on the PBS kids channel here called Sprout. The show is aimed at preschoolers and combines fun adventures with educational information for kids. I have to admit I've even learned a thing or two from Dinosaur Train the show or Dinosaur Train books that Drew has owned before such as which part of the earth certain dinosaurs lived on Read more [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kmart Share the Word for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Last month my boyfriend & I moved into a new apartment together. This is the first time that we've rented a home as opposed to being in an apartment complex. There are a lot of benefits of living in a duplex - things like having a yard, more room in the apartment itself, only having one neighbor as opposed to 10+, more parking space, etc. However, we now have higher monthly Read more [...]

I received products from Discovery Girls for my review. All opinions are my own. Prior to having children, my husband and I discussed how we would have “the talk” with our children when it was time. We decided that the parent with the same gender should be responsible for this. Fast-forward a few years, we have two daughters. That means I get to give “the talk” to them. I knew that I should probably sit them down a few years before I felt the time was right. My theory was that I wanted Read more [...]

Thank you Softbums for providing me a sample Echo Diaper and Pod System, free of charge, to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. The beginning of 2014 brought a big change for me.  I started cloth diapering!  I had a few diapers already on hand because I had wanted to try cloth with baby #3 but I only lasted through one diaper change before reverting back to disposables.  Now our 4th child was 18 months old and he started reacting to the "green" disposables we were paying a Read more [...]

Thank you Better Life for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.  A few years ago, I decided to rid our house and our lives of as many chemical products as possible. Having two young children, it seemed a no brainer to pick the safest cleaning products out there, knowing that my children will be touching and most likely licking almost everything they can get their little hands on. From the moment I made that decision, I was on a quest to find all-natural Read more [...]

I received products from YesStyle for my review. All opinions are my own. As many of you know, I have developed a love of fashion in the last year. I think there is something great about being able to put on an outfit that makes you look and feel your best. For me, it isn’t all about keeping up with the latest trends. I also want to wear pieces that allow me to feel good about myself and my appearance. YesStyle allows me to accomplish this and I can shop for affordable fashions from the comfort Read more [...]

I received products from Dibsies Personalization Station for my review. All opinions are my own. Like many kids, my two young daughters love having items that have been personalized just for them. When I found a company called Dibsies Personalization Station, I knew my daughters would go crazy over their items. Dibsies Personalization Station offers customized wall décor, organizing solutions, playtime products, children’s furniture and other little goodies. Their merchandise comes in fun Read more [...]

Thank you, Ozeri, for sending me their Touch II Kitchen Scale free of charge for review.  All opinions are my own. Since I enjoy cooking and baking, I have many different tools in our kitchen.  One thing that I have lacked, though, is a kitchen scale.  Every time I come across a recipe that calls for a measurement by weight, I end up taking my best guess.  This has not always worked and I've had recipes flop a little because of my guessing.  I have been on a mission to purchase a kitchen Read more [...]

*I was provided with a gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. I have a slight addiction to Aeropostale brand jeans. I have a pear shaped body and most jeans designed for Juniors brands are too narrow through the hips and thighs when the waist fits me. When I buy a lot of juniors brands, I have to size up to get the thighs to fit me okay but then the waist area gaps apart from my body so I have to wear a belt. Shopping in brands or stores that have women's or misses jeans Read more [...]
