High Quality Animal Hats from Gramma’s Gifts

Many of you know that I have somewhat of an addiction to trading on etsy. I'm a member of Tradeaholics, a group that does a monthly trading event in the forums. Last month at the trading event I made a trade with Disclaimer - I received two hats for the purposes of this review. No other form of compensation was offered or accepted. All opinions are my own.

Gorgeous Roses for Mothers Day From Fiesta Roses

Loving flowers just might be part of the female DNA. Most women could probably receive a dozen red roses every mothers day, birthday, and anniversary they have until they die, and never feel disappointed. But, going above and beyond is always a flattering gesture. As far as women go, I'm less of a 'flower girl' than the typical woman, but I couldn't turn down a review opportunity after seeing the gorgeous flower photos from fiestaroses.com. Fiesta Roses specializes in flowers that go way above Read more [...]

Graduation Announcements at Tiny Prints

It's hard for me to believe that I graduated almost two years ago. Time has really flown by since then. Before my graduation day, I always thought I would feel emotional on my graduation day. However, there was so much planning to do, and so much to get done for the last days of school and for m graduation planning that I mostly just felt overwhelmed. I was amazed at how much planning went into the event. Not only did I have to worry about finishing up the school year, taking exams and making it Read more [...]

Lavender Space Saver Bags Review and Giveaway

One of the bad parts about living in an apartment is the lack of space. Actually, I guess that's probably the worst part. Since I started living in an apartment over a year and a half ago, I've found many ways to organize to give us more space. Until recently, one area where I had really struggled to find extra space was our closets. Particularly our linen closet and our bedroom closet. The linen closet has one shelf of towels, hand towels and wash cloths, but all the other shelves are sheets, Read more [...]

Jerky Johns Healthy Beef Jerky Review

I think that I may have mentioned before that one of my biggest weaknesses is beef jerky. Some days I'd tell you that my favorite food is beef jerky, and others I'd say peanut butter fudge. But, it's definitely top two. I've found that there are two main types of beef jerky, one comes in a shiny, 'wet' like feel and appearance, and the other is a dry, rough feel. I've found that the dry, rough type tends to be much better tasting, and was pleased to discover that Jerky John's makes that 'dry, rough' Read more [...]
