Share Your Fall Family Selfies | $175 Walmart Giveaway [CLOSED]

Share Your Fall Family Selfies | $175 Walmart Giveaway This post is sponsored by Lunchbox. I recently spent some time going through our family's stacks of photo albums. I love seeing the children as babies and reliving some old memories. But I noticed a sad trend. I was only in a few scattered photos through each album. It was a pretty typical occurrence really, because "Mom" was/is usually the family photographer. That's why I want to … [Read more...]

Cricut Explore Design and Cut System

Are you a crafter? I sure am. I enjoy making cards and fun crafts for myself and with my kids.

In the words of my husband it is my new addiction. After taking it out … [Read more...]

Do You Suffer From Plate Shame? | Corelle Dinnerware

Samples received for review. All opinions are my own. My husband and I were very young newlyweds... I was fresh out of high school and we had just moved into married housing at our local college. Looking back, the struggle was worth it.. it was what made us who we are today. At the time... it stunk. My grandmother came to visit us just after we settled into our new place.

pediped Shoes for a New Walker

pediped Shoes for a New Walker Samples were provided for review purposes. All opinions are my own.  We are experiencing the new walker blues in our house. Indoors our little girl does great, because she's barefoot. But when we put her in shoes she falls more often and is generally more unstable. We were excited for her to try walking in pedipeds. I love that these shoes are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
