I received products from Gymboree for this review. All opinions are my own. My love for Gymboree children’s apparel and accessories started with an introduction by my Grandmother-in-law. Ever since my oldest daughter’s first Christmas, my Grandmother-in-law has been gifting my daughters items from Gymboree. I had never heard of Gymboree prior to her gift. Now, Gymboree has become my go-to store for my daughters’ wardrobes. When it came time to create a list of companies I wanted to Read more [...]

Thank you World Vision for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. The Holiday season is a great time to reflect on our life and appreciate our fortune. It is also a time to think about those who are less fortunate and try and help out in any way we can. There are many ways to help locally (food bank, giving toys and clothes to charity, etc.) It is a bit more tricky to find ways to help people in developing countries. Fortunately, World Vision is Read more [...]

The holidays and coming up quickly and along with that comes the gift giving season.  While some people are easy to buy for, others are quite difficult.  I have found a company with a product that would be great for anyone who stands for periods of time in one area.  Wellness Mats has some great lines of quality anti-fatigue comfort mats available and I was thrilled to be able to work with them on this review. There are many tasks in daily life that are mundane. I know very few people who Read more [...]

I received products from Bradley Smokers for this review. All opinions are my own. Several members of our family thoroughly enjoy hunting and fishing.  For them, there’s nothing better than a day of camaraderie on the boat or walking an area for wild game.  Luckily for the rest of the family, they’re usually successful and come home with Steelhead, Chinook, Bass, elk, grouse, etc. Sometimes we take the “fruits of their labor” and cook it up right away.  There’s nothing Read more [...]

*I was provided with Kaijudo cards in return for this post. All opinions are my own. My nephew Luke is going on 8 years old and he enjoys the TV show Kaijudo. It is an animated tv show that features a boy named Ray as the main character. He has special powers that allow him to control and dual against fantastical creatures. The Choten tries to enslave and tame the creatures so Ray and his friends try to save them. Kaijudo Cards go along with the show and let kids play a card game with Read more [...]

Thank you Live Clean for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.   Live Clean is one of my favorite brands when it comes to skin care products. Why? Simply because their products are eco-friendly and plant-based without any harsh chemicals. They contain no sulfates, no petroleum, no paraben, and are not tested on animals. They smell wonderful and are gentle on baby's skin. I've been using their products for many months now and I am still totally Read more [...]

I came across a great site called Wayfair that carries a wide array of products.  I was excited when they agreed to partner with me because when I was browsing, I saw many great gift ideas.  But when I found the PlaSmart Plasma Car, I knew it would be a home run present.  I remember hearing about the Plasma Car last year but had only just recently seen one in action.  While visiting a friend at her garage sale, I witnessed her teenage daughter and a group of three friends playing with their Read more [...]

I received products from Wahl for this review. All opinions are my own. My husband and I met at a hair cutting salon. I was a receptionist and he was a customer. From the first time I talked with him, I was enamored. I quickly figured out his haircut schedule and I would make sure I was working the Saturdays when I thought he would be coming in for a haircut. This borderline “stalking” crush went on for a year before he finally came to his senses and asked me out. When I left my job at Read more [...]

Jewelry is fun.  I really like the way that a piece of jewelry can put the finishing touches on an outfit.  You can dress up or dress down with the simple addition of a necklace, bracelet, and earrings.  Since I really enjoy jewelry, I was fascinated when I learned about the company, BeadForLife.  They not only offer some beautiful pieces, but also create opportunities and empower women through their program.  BeadForLife is a non-profit organization with a  mission to fight extreme poverty. Read more [...]

When I was a kid, I used to love getting mail.  It was a rare occurrence but when I did get something, I felt pretty special.  It's strange how getting mail as an adult doesn't hold the same appeal.  I imagine it's because the mail is typically bills and very little fun.  With the exception of this time of year when we start receiving all the great Christmas cards, getting mail isn't all that great any more.  Panty By Post can change that and I was happy to partner with them for this review.    Panty Read more [...]
