what’s in your mom bag? {#giveaway to @target too!}
This post is part of a sponsorship with Target. The mom bag. What EXACTLY does that mean? Before kids I though it meant a horrendous, barf filled, booger infested bag that moms tote with them everywhere. It’s contents…who knows, and Lord knows I wasn’t willing to find out. Fast forward to after having kids. Oh…
brylane home :: cereco cookware :: review
I learned the hard way that being frugal does not mean skimping on the price of your pots and pans. I just celebrated my 10th anniversary this summer and we are on our 3rd set of pots and pans! Somehow our toaster, blender, mixer, duvet, and a few bath towels are original to our marriage, but we have…
give those #BackToSchool lunches some pop with angie’s boomchickapop :: review
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when moms all over the country open up the cupboard, look inside and wonder with a sigh, “What on earth can I put in my kids’ lunchbox that they haven’t eaten every day this week?” Well, look no further. Angie’s Boomchickapop has your back. Boomchickapop…
show #BackToSchool who’s boss with dotmine planners :: review
I’ve come to learn, over years of shopping for Back To School supplies, that everyone has their favorite new school supply. For some it’s a new box of sharp crayons. Others love a new backpack or a crisp new notebook. For me, it has always been the planner! Completely empty with the promise of keeping…
this summer we had fun with math, and it continues this school year :: review {#HMHAcademy #ad @HMHAcademy}
I received compensation from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for writing this post. I don’t know about you, but when I get overwhelmed during the summer months with the fact that my kids aren’t in school…and worry about the fact that they may be loosing knowledge learned the previous school year…I freeze. I don’t know what to…
keeping it safe with case logic :: review
Recently I finished a long and drawn out saga to finding some technical hardware solutions for myself. After finally settling on an iPad Air I knew one of the first accessories I needed was a good case. Lucky me that I got to try out the new SnapView 2.0 Case for iPad Air from Case…
#backtoschool with heelys on your back :: review
Have your kids gone back to school yet? I think us here in Michigan are the last ones to send our kids to school. First day was a couple days ago and my kids are loving it. Did you find the perfect backpack for your child? I know I sure did when Heelys contacted me…
fight for your write with BIC :: review + giveaway
A couple years back I remember reading an article about how fewer and fewer schools were still teaching kids how to write script (cursive). My first thoughts were, “How will kids learn to sign their own name? How will they read historical documents? Or even understand pieces of family history like my Grandpa’s letters home…
an all inclusive #crafternoon item you can pick up today :: review
Being that last week was the last week, for us, of our summer vacation, I basically crammed in all the fun one family could have in a short 5-day week. We ran all around…and we stayed home. We did it all! We even had a few neighbors over for a fun crafternoon with an awesome…
its always a good time to have mabel’s labels on hand :: review #BackToSchool
Labels here! Labels there! Labels everywhere!! We are in the thick of organizing and making sure all things for school are in order! That includes labeling everything that could potentially get lost. We heard at Kindergarten orientation last week that, the things you don’t think will get lost, eventually find a way to get lost!…
angry birds mouthwash :: firefly :: good.clean.fun :: review + giveaway
I don’t know if it’s good genes, good habits, or a combination of both, but we are a cavity free home. I’m not proud of this, but we drink sugary beverages and eat our fair share of candy. If ever there should be kids that have “sugar bugs” eating away at their teeth, I’m afraid…
