Self-Care and Meditation with The Spa Girl Life

By Amber

August 2nd, 2020
Thanks so much to The Spa Girl Life for sending me these wonderful candles and crystals. As always, all opinions are my own. Self-care is pretty hard to come by these days, at least in my house. What I used to do to get a little break was spend a few hours at Caribou Coffee each week, catching up on blog emails and just decompressing alone. Unfortunately with Covid-19, that's no longer possible and I've had to become creative to get a little time alone! When I heard about The Spa Girl Life, I Read more [...]

There is a sponsored link in this post. Thanks to Name Stories for sending me these beautiful personalized prints. As always, all opinions are my own. How interested were you in the origin of your name as you were growing up? When I was in elementary school, I remember asking my parents why they picked my name and what it meant. After that, I received a little name card that had the definition of Amber and some character traits, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! For a long time I Read more [...]

Even still, rhubarb can be delicious when it's mixed with the right ingredients. I wanted to share my favorite rhubarb dessert with you because even if you're not a fan of the tart flavor, I'm sure you'll love this Read more [...]

Thanks to Griddly Games for sending me these fun kits! As always, all opinions are my own. It may be summer, but that doesn't mean learning has to stop! Our family loves doing experiments together (and hearing our four year old say 'experiments' is the cutest thing ever!) so when we heard about Griddly Games' STEAM kits we knew we had to give them a try. While I have a tendency to be pretty controlling with art and experiments, I'm really working on letting go and letting the kids do things on Read more [...]

Thanks to Tom & Teddy for sending me these adorable suits. As always, all opinions are my own. Summer is in full-swing around here and we've been enjoying the warm weather! My husband got a little crazy this year and built a roller coaster in our yard. Coupled with the ninja line, swing set, and kiddie pool, we have everything we need to stay busy on hot summer days! Even with all the fun yard activities, we love heading out to the lake with my parents. They have a pontoon and it's so fun Read more [...]
