Keep the Memories with a Repat Custom T-shirt Blankets Sample received. All opinions remain my own. Our family went through a recent decluttering spree where everyone was given the task of going through their room and keeping, tossing, selling or donating items they haven't used in the past year... or just didn't need or want anymore. Both of my older children insisted on keeping their tubs of old t-shirts. Although they no longer wear them, … [Read more...]

by 6 Comments
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Neutrogena. I received samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. I come from a long line of sun worshipers. For as far back as I can remember, my family spent hours on end in the sun... on the boat, at the beach, and in the backyard with a kiddie pool. When the sun came up, we were out there. The love affair only … [Read more...]

Chipotle and Soccer The Perfect Combination
by 3 Comments
Thank you to Chipotle for sponsoring today’s conversation. All opinions remain my own. Our family enjoys a good soccer game, so when we were invited to the Sporting KC vs. St. Louis FC game we eagerly accepted. What better way to fuel up for a night of rowdy cheering than a Chipotle bowl or burrito! We weren't the only ones with the idea either, as the group in front and behind us all had on Sporting KC shirts and were chatting excitedly … [Read more...]

Gold Toe Socks Are Oh So Soft I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Gold Toe. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. I am the kind of girl that likes to wear socks in the house year 'round.

What To Pack For A Road Trip With Kids Samples received. All opinions are my own. Summertime (for us) means ROAD TRIPS! The kids are out of school and we can finally get away without interrupting their learning. Road trips can also mean hours of pure torture with the kids, though... that is unless we prepare properly. Here is a short list of everything we make sure to pack to keep the kids (and ourselves) entertained while on the … [Read more...]

Picking A Bike | Bike Safety Checklist

Bike Safety ChecklistThis post is sponsored by Lunchbox. All opinions are my own.My son's birthday is coming up next month. I had noticed the other day when he was riding his bike that his recent growth spurt shrunk the size of his current bike. What better gift for a summer birthday boy than a new bike? So... we headed to Wal-mart. The first bike I remember from my childhood was a Schwinn. My parents let me pick it out from a local bike shop … [Read more...]
