I am a huge fan of learning toys.  When I'm in the market to purchase games, toys, and other supplies or products, I tend to gravitate towards "learning" ones.  Since kids enjoy playing, I love to know that there is an added element of learning involved.  When it's time to sit down for school work, there are days where my kids just can't concentrate.  Especially during those moments, I like have products on hand to help them switch gears.  If we leave the table for 15 minutes and go play Read more [...]

I received products from Bob Books for this review. All opinions are my own. As I have mentioned before, my girls love reading. My older daughter began reading at the age of 3. My younger daughter is following right along in her footsteps. One company  we continue to turn to for help in teaching them reading skills is Bob Books. Bob Books was created by a teacher. She observed children and their needs when they were first learning to read. The children she worked with were between the Read more [...]

Thank you Rösle for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions.  Are you looking for new cooking tools and kitchen utensils? There is a company that prides itself on its high performance kitchen gear: Rösle. They've been in the business since 1888 so they really know what they are doing!

*I was provided with a Carhartt coat in return for this blog post. All opinions are my own. Since Ryan & I first tried Carhartt brand coats, we haven't went back. Here in Michigan, winters are cold and anyone who ever spends a more than a few seconds outside in the winter needs a high quality coat and that's exactly what Carhartt provides. I don't like puffy coats, so a huge bonus of Carhartt in my opinion is how thin they are while still remaining incredibly warm. For men, they make great Read more [...]

*I was provided with toys from MMP Living in exchange for this blog post. All opinions are my own. Back in August I wrote about how MMP Living is a website and Amazon store that has a huge selection of toys for kids. I was really happy with both of the toys that I got back then, for Drew's third birthday and they've held up great and he still plays with them all the time. So, I was excited to get a chance to feature them as a place to shop for gifts for children this holiday season. This Read more [...]

I received products  from Zoey’s Attic- Personalized Gifts for this review. All opinions are my own. Do your kiddos have any personalized items? Kids get so excited when they see their names on things like hoodies, t-shirts, notebooks, bags, etc. I believe it gives them a  sense of pride and the feeling that someone went out of their way to get something special just for them. I wanted to get my girls, ages 4.5 and almost 7, personalized pillowcases. They don’t know it, but for Christmas Read more [...]

Teething is one of the joys and trials of parenthood and I am willing to try almost anything (that is safe) to help relieve the discomfort and pain.  Our first child was a terrible teether.  She would spike a 104 temp and be really sick for 24 hours and then the next morning, there would be a new tooth.  While each episode was short-lived, I felt completely helpless as nobody had any good suggestions for helping her besides medicating.  Now that I am a seasoned parent to four, I have learned Read more [...]

I received products  from France Luxe for this review. All opinions are my own. Like many moms, I don’t spend a lot of time on my hair. I usually spend my time on my two daughters’ hair. This year, I made a vow to place more priority on my needs and wants. I was going to start dressing in flattering outfits each day and taking the time to do my hair. Gone are the days of lounging in sweats, yoga pants, hoodies and sloppy hair. Here are the days of looking good and feeling great! Right Read more [...]

*I was provided with products from MojoPet.com in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. We don't have any pet stores in my town so I'm thankful that there are online pet stores like Mojo Pet that I can order from and have things delivered to me instead, seems how its really hard to find natural pet products at grocery stores and my dogs seem to be allergic to grains which are in most non-natural dog foods and treats. Mojo Pet has lots of natural dog treats and chews like bones, bully Read more [...]
