*I was provided with a pair of yoga pants from Gaiam in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. Seems how I work from home, I don't leave the house a lot of days. I have a hard time getting compeltely dressed when I'm not going anywhere and nobody is going to see me, but I don't like wearing pajamas all the time. So, wearing yoga pants have kind of become my "in between" option for around the house. It lets me feel less sloppy but still remain super cozy.  I was recently able to Read more [...]

*I was provided with DS or 3DS copies of the games mentioned in this post. All opinions are my own.   Having 6 nephews ages 3-9 means I stay a bit more updated about new toys and games for kids than most other people my age without children would. A few of my nephews are really into LEGO Chima sets. They're age the age where the really detailed LEGO sets are fun but too basic can get boring. LEGO Chima sets are based in a really cool, exiting looking fantasy world that gets their Read more [...]

I received product from PowerSox for this review. All opinions are my own. As I shared earlier, we always gift socks for Christmas. It’s just one of those items we always seem to need. My husband is particularly tough on his socks. I suspect it is a combination of being on his feet all day, working in rough work environments and wearing rugged work boots. This year, I turned to PowerSox for his new socks. PowerSox are a family brand along with GoldToe socks. PowerSox were designed with Read more [...]

I love a good drink now and then, and I know a lot of other adults too. I often find myself gifting nice liquor or bar mixers to my friends for the holidays, and they make a really great gift that I know they'll actually use. If you know someone watching their figure, or who's health conscience, Slimrock Bar Mixers make a really great choice for the holidays. Slimrock Bar Mixers are yummy mixers that are 1/5 of the calories of normal mixers. I was very happy to be able to review some Slimrock Bar Read more [...]

Thank you Built for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.  Built may have started out with lunch bags but they have so much more to offer now! You might have seen my review of their Baby Collection as well as my review of their Travel and Cosmetics bags. But that's not all: Built also has many kitchen accessories including oven mitts, pot holders, pot handle grips, and lid holders. For this review, I received 2 beautiful items: a Renzo Oven Read more [...]

*I was provided with a FURminator in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own. Before I even had a dog, I had heard about the FURminator and how it really shouldn't even be called a dog brush because it deserves to be in a category all its own, because it works SO well. Granted, I had a close friend who worked at a pet store which is how I heard this but still. My dogs are pugs and they do shed (I'm not sure why the idea that pugs are a non-shedding breed gets passed around) but I wouldn't Read more [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LEGO for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. See this cute card that I made? It's my LEGO Minifigure Family that I made for free on the Mini Figure Family website. When you log in you get to choose whether you want to make an adult, child, baby, dog or cat. I made two adults and was able to customize Ryan's to have a beard and mine to have glasses so that they look like us. I was also given the option to choose if I wanted to keep Read more [...]

I received products from GoldToe for this review. All opinions are my own. I have two young daughters. For us, sitting down as a family to write our letters to Santa Claus is a fun event. It’s a chance to really connect with our kids, share the message of what is really important, celebrate the magic of the holiday and spend some precious family time. We start by making a list of all the things we are thankful for. Then we make our Christmas wish lists with three “needs” and three “wants”. Read more [...]

Lots of people would love to learn a new language, but not many of us actually do it. Luckily there are language programs out there that can help us learn a language without having to take a college course, or moving to a new country. Pimsleur is a language learning program available for just about every language. Pimsleur uses a scientifically proven method to help you learn a new language. I was very happy to be able to review the Pimsleur language learning program. I received the French I language Read more [...]
