Captain America and Minnie Mouse Build A Bear

Samples received for review. All opinions are my own. My kids are all about Disney and were super excited to hear we had a Captain America and Minnie Mouse Build A Bear on their way to our house. The picture on the site was absolutely adorable. I had high hopes the IRL bear was just as cute. I wasn't disappointed. Captain America Bear is actually cuter in person. He is super plush, beyond soft (great for cuddling) and yet manly enough … [Read more...]

HopeLine Accessories Benefit Domestic Violence Prevention #VZWBuzz #VoicesHavePower

As a member of the #VzwBuzz influencer team, I received the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 tablet with line of service from Verizon. No additional compensation was provided nor did I promise positive feedback. All opinions are my own. I am one of those techies that refuses to use her new device until it's protected. Keeping my devices "fresh" and protected always wins out over my desire to fiddle with my new toy. I've been known to wait … [Read more...]

Inspire Future Engineers with GoldieBlox #LookatGoldie

The first time I heard about GoldieBlox was during the Super Bowl in 2014. If you haven't seen the commercial, please take a second to watch it. It's worth it. As a mother to two girls, the commercial made me smile and tear up at the same time. The stereotypical box that society has put around our girls makes me so sad for them. In a world where men largely outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math, girls lose interest … [Read more...]

However, all opinions expressed are my own. Something happens with a woman becomes a mom. Although you can't see it, I really think a superhero cape sprouts out her backside.
