I received product from Audiovox for this review. All opinions are my own. My husband and I have been thinking about purchasing a portable DVD player for a while now. We couldn't decide which would fit our needs better, a portable DVD player or a DVD player installed into my vehicle. We decided a portable DVD player because that way we could take it in either of our vehicles and once we reached our destination, we could take the DVD player inside with us if we chose to. A couple times Read more [...]

Finding holiday presents for adults can be hard. Sometimes it's best to go with a gift you know your loved one will actually use. If you know someone who's a big fitness buff, into weight training, or just uses protein powders in their diet, Bodylogix has a great line of protein powder. Their protein powder comes from non-GMO sources, grass-fed cows, is free of hormones and antibiotics, and free of unnatural preservatives. It also comes in a compostable container. I was very happy to be able to try Read more [...]

*I was provided with a RECARO Performance Sport Booster Car Seat in return for this post. All opinions are my own. Drew has been 3 for a few months now and while based on his height and weight he could fit into most convertible car seats for quite a while yet, he wasn't very happy with his old seat. It tilted up away from the actual vehicle seat and it just seemed a bit young for him. He wants to be a big boy and sit in the seat like everyone else. Of course, that isn't safe but I thought Read more [...]

*I was provided with a 3 month subscription to Lynda.com in return for this post. All opinions are my own.   My boyfriend Ryan loves learning. He regularly searches the internet to teach him about new topics, facts or even to learn new skills. It's really incredible how much information is available on the internet if you know how to search and find what you need. He does a great job of teaching himself - even in school he tended to tune out teachers and just read the books and do Read more [...]

*I was provided with Petco dog toys in return for this post. All opinions are my own. In my house, we give Christmas gifts to our pets, too. Some may think it's silly but to me it's not. I love my dogs and they need toys to help keep them entertained, so why not buy them as Christmas gifts instead of just because? It's also just fun to make it feel like they're a part of our holiday. Petco has a range of products to help you celebrate the holidays with your pets. Whether you  need Read more [...]

*I was provided with a Magnetic tile carnival kit in return for this post. All opinions are my own.   I do a lot of shopping online. It's so convenient to have products delivered to my door and its easier to look at all product options at once while online. Yet, shopping for a gift or two per website can cause shipping fees to really stack up, so I'm always interested in finding sites that offer a wide range of products so I can buy more gifts in one place and save on shipping. Hammacher Read more [...]

I received product from Think Fun for this review. All opinions are my own. Think Fun is a company that was launched in the mid-1980s by an entrepreneurial husband and wife team.  Their goal was to develop and produce simple games that helped kids get in touch with their inner engineer, mathematician and/or inventor abilities.  What better way to pull those sometimes hidden talents out of a child than thru play.   Although their toys have changed throughout the last almost 30 years, the Read more [...]

~I have received no product for this post but am entered for the chance to win a PlayHouseBouncers.com Bouncer.~ Growing up, it was a rare occurrence to be able to jump in a bounce house.  I don't recall seeing them very often at any of the events, outings, or parties we attended.  Fast forward to today.  The popularity of inflatables has sky-rocketed and Bounce Houses seem to be at every event we attend from bazaars and carnivals to church parties and birthday parties.  We even rented a large Read more [...]
