This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of K12, the leader in online education for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. EmbarK12 Comprehensive- Online and hands-on preschool program for your early learner. My nephew Drew is 3 and he's recently taken an interest in trying to play games online. I knew that there should be "games" online that could be educational for his age so I've been looking around and while I've had a little bit of success it's not been easy. EmbarK12 Read more [...]

*I was provided with dog bowls & a mat from JoJo Modern Pets. All opinions are my own. My pugs are major lap dogs, they'd live on my lap all day long if they could. One day I was sitting on the couch and frank was on my lap and rolled over when I noticed that he had small red bumps under his chin. I had no idea if they were new or if they had been there for a while seems how they were under his chin I knew it was possible that I just never saw them before. They didn't seem to cause him any Read more [...]

*There are affiliate links in this post We just moved last week and I didn't change my address early enough so the BarkBox went to our old address so we got it a bit later than usual but we got it and have had time to check it out. We subscribe for the small dog sized box which is suggested for dogs 20lbs and under. Overall I was happy with our box again this month (you can see my December Bark Box post for last months info). It included two treats, two toys and a chew this month. My Read more [...]

Each Winter, we struggle with the air in our home.  Because we are in Minnesota, everyone gets dry skin and our daughter struggles with bloody noses.  We've tried running humidifiers in the past but only end up using them for a week or two before we quit.  The humidifiers we've tried in the past have been bulky, cumbersome, noisy, hard to fill, and didn't seem to work very well.  I recently came across the company, Luma Comfort, and became intrigued by the sleek stylish humidifiers they offer.

Back in October I shared a blog post discussing Why I love My Boba Wrap carrier. After Kelsie hit the 15lb mark, I was eager to try more carrier types such as the BobaAir because it works for babies 15-45lbs. It can be worn as a front carrier for babies 15-30lbs and as a back carrier for babies 20-45lbs. Kelsie is 10 months old and 17lbs so she has to be worn in the front for a little while yet. She is really active and wiggly now, pulling up to furniture and even walking between pieces of furniture Read more [...]

I received product from Lindsay’s Secret Closet for my review. All opinions are my own. Aztec print and fringe are two big trends this winter. I have seen both trends present in home décor and in the fashion world. For a while, I had searched for a special piece of clothing that had both of these trends combined. Then I found exactly what I was looking for at Lindsay’s Secret Closet. Lindsay’s Secret Closet is a fun trendy clothing store. Lindsay caries affordable fashions that can be Read more [...]

I received products from Heat Holders for my review. All opinions are my own. My husband is an explosive technician (no, this doesn’t mean he has anger issues; it means he blows things up). He often works in Eastern Oregon. This means he is exposed to the cold and snowy weather for long hours. He wears as many layers of clothing as he can, but he still needs to be able to function with the physical demands of the job so his layers can’t be bulky. I have heard him say that even with two pairs Read more [...]

Making learning fun is important to me.  I was never particularly fond of school and I really want to provide a positive learning experience for our children.  Every child I know loves to do hands on projects and experiments because that makes learning fun.  I strive to find opportunities to include this type of learning as often as I can.  Lakeshore Learning sent me one of their Earth Science Exploration Centers to facilitate this review and share my honest opinions.    The Lakeshore Read more [...]
