PersonalizationMall.com – Practical Gifts That Feel Special
*I was provided with samples from PersonalizationMall.com. All opinions are my own.
Have you ever noticed that there are a few different types of gift givers? Some people seem to aim to purchase gifts that the recipient wouldn't be willing to purchase for themselves. It's certainly a fun way to indulge them but it can get expensive fast. Other gift givers aim for more practical gifts. I definitely fall into the practical gift giving category. I feel like a gift has the most value if the recipient Read more [...]
Regnery Kids Publishing ~ Books For Christmas
Thank you to Regnery Kids Publishing for providing me with product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
We absolutely love books in our home. Just today, after breakfast, our 2 year old brought a couple books to my husband to read to him. After my husband finished, our son proceeded to bring me a pile of books so I could read to him too! This is an every day occurrence as all of our children really enjoy being read to. While we strive to do a family bedtime routine Read more [...]
The Back Buddy Back Support Pillow – Review
Back Buddy provided me with a back support pillow for review. All opinions are my own.
The Back Buddy is a pillow designed for pregnant and nursing (or just postpartum) mothers. It can be used in rocking chairs, couches, recliners, etc to provide more support than other chairs would. It's designed to provide comfort and support especially to the lower-back area. It was designed by a chiropractor and helps align the spine properly while sitting.
I don't have any children and am not pregnant. Read more [...]
Cotton Tale Designs Baby’s First Chair Review
*Cotton Tale Designs sent me a Baby's First Chair for review. All opinions are my own.
At 19 months, Kelsie is very interested in being part of what everyone else is doing. In particular, she wants to be included in what her four-year old brother Drew is up to. This includes sitting where he sits. As a result, there started to be tension between the kids because Drew had a child-sized chair that is too small for them to sit in together. I knew that a great christmas gift for Kelsie would be a Read more [...]
RSV – The Leading Cause of Hospitalization Of Babies
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for MedImmune. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
While anyone you love being hospitalized or seriously ill is scary, I'm not sure that anything quite compares to seeing a baby in your family in the hospital. I have a large family and have visited many people in the hospital but I will never forget visiting my niece when she was hospitalized Read more [...]
Boogies Be Gone BreathEasier ~ Nasal Aspirator
Thank you to BreathEasier for providing me with product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
My husband enjoys the change of seasons that Minnesota experiences. While I don't mind the Spring, Summer, and Fall, I tend to really dread the Winter. Freezing cold temps, difficult driving conditions caused by large amounts of snow and slush, icy roads, and having to bundle everyone up in three layers makes for a difficult 4 to 5 months. Plus, the lack of sunshine makes me feel Read more [...]
SwimZip ~ Perfect For Winter Vacations & Summer Fun ~ Review & Giveaway (US) 11/15
Thank you to SwimZip for providing me with product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
Taking a Winter vacation is a fairly common thing. Especially here in Minnesota since the frigid Winter temps become pretty unbearable by the beginning of February and I start to believe that Spring will never come again. A short getaway to a nice warm beach would make the rest of the Winter fly by. We've taken trips to Florida in January and it always amazes me how the remainder Read more [...]

I absolutely love holding our babies. Just today, our 9 year old daughter asked me what my favorite part of my day is and I told her it is the same thing that was my favorite when all of our children were young. I love holding and snuggling them as they nap in my arms or on my chest. I've enjoyed this with all of our babies so much and cherish these moments since they Read more [...]
Estella Hand-Knitted Baby Rattles ~Stocking Stuffer For Babies~ Discount & Link To Giveaway
Thank you to Estella for providing me with product, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
This year, with a young infant, I was trying to come up with some great stocking stuffer ideas for her. Even though she'll only be 3 months old at Christmas time and won't realize what's going on, I didn't want to leave her out of all the celebrating and fun. Plus, her siblings get so much joy out of including her in all that we do. So when I saw some of the products that Estella Read more [...]
Stonz Wear Bootz, Booties, & Winter Mittz ~ Getting Prepared For Winter
Thank you to Stonz Wear for providing me with the following products, free of charge, for review. All opinions are my own.
The weather is changing here in Minnesota. The warm days are fewer and further in between now and the nights are getting cold. My garden is done and we've emptied our planters of flowers and put the pots away for the year. All of these changes also mean a change in clothing and footwear. Quality footwear is especially important here in Minnesota where the weather Read more [...]
