Thank you Newbridge Silverware for providing me with products to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring a giveaway. These are my own honest opinions.  I'm sure you remember my last Newbridge Silverware review of their beautiful Grace Kelly pearl jewelry collection. If you missed it, you should definitely take a quick peek. The necklace, bracelet, and stud earrings are absolutely stunning! But that's not the only stunning items you'll find when you visit Newbridge Silverware. They also Read more [...]

Thank you Fisher Price and Candlewick Press for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Ever since my daughter first met Peppa Pig on TV, she's been in love with Peppa and her family. We have had the chance to review many Peppa Pig products already and even more lucky to receive a few more to share with you! This time, we received 3 items: Peppa Pig' Peek 'n Surprise Playhouse Playset, a George Plush (both are made by Fisher-Price) and the book Read more [...]

The more I read and learn about chemicals and their effects and possible effects, the more I try to stay away. I'd rather take precautions now than have to deal with aftermaths later. Something that has been brought to my attention this past year is the fact that a lot of mattresses contain chemicals or questionable ingredients. This is frightening since a mattress is something that our whole body is touching for (hopefully) eight plus hours a night. Even longer if it's a crib mattress since Read more [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. A few years ago I read an article about how to Become Carton Smart and the benefits of buying food that comes in cartons instead of plastic or cans. It was so logical and I thought I would try to purchase more products in cartons. The next time I went to the grocery store, I looked around and was bummed at how few carton options there were. I felt defeated that I couldn't just purchase Read more [...]

I received Jennie-O product coupons in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. Every day, I dread preparing our family dinner. We are a family of four and each has different “likes and wants” in our meals. I want healthy, quick and easy meals for my family. My husband would love to have meat and potatoes every night. My kids just want something that tastes good and is fun to eat. We have a few meals that please everyone so we seem to eat those over and over. I try expanding our menus Read more [...]

I have come to realize that not all carriers are built alike. I have loved wearing our children ever since we had our second. While I tried wearing our first child once or twice, the carrier I had was very low end, cheaply made, and extremely uncomfortable for both of us. She cried the whole time and we were both miserable. So I resorted to using my arms all-the-while knowing there must be a better way. After speaking with a friend after I saw her, very comfortably, wearing her infant, I had Read more [...]

I will receive product from Luna Star Naturals™ for my review. All opinions are my own. We have just over a week until Christmas. Recently I heard someone ask my daughters what they wanted for Christmas. They always have different answers so I never know what I’m going to hear them say. This time, they surprised me by saying that they would both like make-up…that was news to me. My daughters are 4.5 and almost 7 years old. We have played make-up once or twice, but not a lot. The main Read more [...]

I received a SHINE fitness tracker for my review. All opinions are my own. I have been working really hard to live a healthy lifestyle. I try to eat nutritious foods, drink water, get the appropriate amount of rest, and get my daily exercise. For this reason, I was super excited to partner with Misfit Wearables for a review of their SHINE fitness tracker. I was disappointed when I learned that I needed an iPhone, iPad or iPod to sync with the SHINE fitness tracker, as I don’t have any of those Read more [...]

There are lots of choices when it comes to baby toys and products.  When I was pregnant with our first, I didn't have a clue what the difference between anything was and we basically made random choices for what we purchased with no rhyme or reason behind them.  While we ended up being happy with some of our choices, we regretted many others.  Now, while I may not always make the right choices all the time, I do lots of research before making these bigger purchases. Ingenuity carries an Read more [...]
