Growing up, I had such sensitive skin that I was unable to use any scented lotions, scrubs, and sprays without an adverse reaction.  While everyone else seemed to be sporting the newest fruity flavor, I had to abstain unless I wanted my hands to be red and itchy the rest of the day.  Thankfully, I have pretty much outgrown the extreme reaction issues and can use a much wider range of products now but I still try to use products that are free from harmful chemicals and reactants.  I've recently Read more [...]

*I was provided with a Petbox in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Subscription boxes have gotten so popular and while I've seen a few different pet ones, PetBox is the most unique pet subscription box that I've found to date for a few reasons. One of the biggest (or maybe even THE biggest) downside of subscription boxes is getting items that you aren't interested in or able to use for some reason. PetBox understands this dilemma so they allow YOU to pick what you want Read more [...]

I received products from PEEPS for my review. All opinions are my own. Prior to writing this review, my daughters and I had never tried PEEPS marshmallow treats. I have seen them around in stores for years, but just hadn’t tried them. My daughters have asked me what they tasted like. I explained that they were marshmallows but other than that, I had no idea what they tasted like. Last week, I was asked to review PEEPS Valentine’s Day treats and I jumped at the opportunity. For our review, Read more [...]

I received products from Dollie & Me for my review. All opinions are my own. For Christmas my daughters asked for Madame Alexander dolls. I was a little surprised because they hadn’t shown much interest in dolls. I did some research and was really impressed with Madame Alexander. They had a good selection of dolls to choose from, they appeared to be high quality and were reasonably priced compared to others. I also noted that Madame Alexander dolls are for ages 3 and up, whereas other dolls Read more [...]

*I was provided with product in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. Growing up, my mom always included me and my siblings in Valentine's day celebrations. Some say that Valentine's day is mostly an excuse to celebrate but what's wrong with that if everyone enjoys it, right? The downside of trying to buy Valentine's day gifts for kids is it can be hard to find quality items at a reasonable price. Most stores are littered with red and pink trinkets that are cute but aren't that cheap Read more [...]

I received product from Lipault of Paris for my review. All opinions are my own. Like many women, I have a bit of a handbag obsession. This is a fairly new obsession of mine. In the last year, I have changed a lot. I lost weight, did some soul searching and have a new outlook on life. With these changes, my fashion has also made great changes. Thus my new obsession for bags. Lipault specializes in beautiful luggage. Their pieces are lightweight and are made with materials that are both fashionable Read more [...]

When we were expecting our first child, one of the many things I registered for was a diaper pail.  While we did receive it, the cover and springs broke within a few months.  So we decided to get the one on all the tv commercials that was supposed to be so great.  Each time a diaper was inserted, an easy twisting motion would tie the diaper and prevent the smells from escaping.  That one completely bombed.  During the six months we used it, I never once got the diaper to do that.  My husband Read more [...]

Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  While my husband and I don't usually exchange Valentine's gifts any more, we used to.  We started missing out on this occasion the last couple years because it's tough to get to the store with four young kids in tow.  This is a great time where we need to start taking advantage of online shopping.  California Delicious is a great online company that provides Gourmet Gift Baskets, Chocolate Gifts, Wine Baskets, Corporate Gifts, and more.  All conveniently Read more [...]

Thank you PinkBlush Maternity for providing me with a product to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. As many of you are aware, I gave birth to my second daughter 3 months ago. If there's one thing I've learned through my pregnancies and the months after is even tough people will tell you you'll only wear your maternity/nursing clothes for a little while, it actually can feel like a long time... especially if you only purchased a few outfits in the hopes that you'll be back Read more [...]
