harness the power of the sun with the little sun solar lamp :: review

Check out her…
fresh wave :: natural odor eliminators :: review + giveaway
We recently returned to our closed up house after 11 days of vacationing. I was prepared for a stale smell. You know what hit me? Nothing! I was shocked.

a kids tablet that has wi-fi capabilities, plus oh so much more :: review
LeapFrog. When you hear this name, you either think of the childhood game you played or you think of the brand, LeapFrog. For me, it’s the latter. I am up to my knees in kid mode and always searching for the new and fun item that my kids will soon be asking me for. I…
look…you can see yourself with the @looq_system :: review
I can’t say I like having the title “fashion blogger”. After all, if you could see me most days, “fashion” is the last thing you would think. I’m a busy mom of 4 young ladies and sometimes, making them look cute is the priority over myself. Yet, I LOVE sharing fashions for the “real mom”….
start planning those #BackToSchool lunches with this simple recipe :: cinnamon apple chips

head #BackToSchool with indestructible gear from pelican :: review
The first time I heard that schools were handing out iPads to high school students, my jaw hit the floor! Are these schools mad? They are letting these kids take these iPads home? Don’t they realize they’ll be destroyed in less than a week? Well, apparently these schools knew a thing or two about what…
customized fit headphones from decibullz :: review
With all the sunshine and adventures of summer I will admit that my gym membership and I have not been as closely acquainted as one would like. Okay, okay… so we haven’t seen each other in months.
