When I first got a smart phone I loved every single thing about it. Everything except that one pesky little problem: by early evening (or early afternoon, depending on the day!) my battery would be hovering around 3% and I’d have to start searching for a charger. Smart phone batteries have certainly gotten better since…

Do you ever wish you had someone to cook your meals for you? I wish this almost every day. But this week has felt like I had my own personal sous chef on staff in my kitchen. Each night, I had a quick and easy meal ready to cook with minimal time and effort. Personal…
here’s hoping my #winkofpink items from @kohls brings warmer temperatures soon :: review + giveaway
Spring is a lovely time of year. It is full of color and new life. I love it, because living in Michigan, it follows a very dark time. Massive amounts of snow outside…and dark fashion colors inside. Can we just say no to grey and black for now!! I think so, and Kohl’s has us…
jump start your morning with the pop clock by no. 8 brands and nanda home :: review
I am not a morning person. Therefore, my kids are not morning people either. Except, of course, on Saturdays when we all could {theoretically} sleep in and then they are all gung-ho about jumping out of bed to greet the day at 7:02. During the week, though, getting them out of bed is no joke….
lug it to the gym in style :: review + giveaway
With our on-again-off-again relationship back on-again, the gym and I have been seeing a lot more of each other lately.

function and style meet baby essentials :: bella bundles :: towel hoodies :: review
Bath night is such a favorite in our house! With three little girls to get all cleaned up it gets a little crazy, but those after bath cuddles before bed are the best, aren’t they?? I have gone through my share of baby/kid towels. I love their hooded design, but the ones I had were…
big happy smiles with the philips sonicare for kids toothbrush :: review
As far back as I can remember my youngest daughter has loved brushing her teeth. As soon as she could walk, I was never surprised to find that she had sneaked into the bathroom to brush her teeth while my back was turned. Multiple times. Every day. Fast forward a couple years and she still…
pixie splitz :: pictorial shoe inserts for kids :: review + giveaway
There’s a 50/50 chance that your toddler will get their shoes on the correct feet, right? Why is it that it seems like 100% of the time they get it wrong? While I can’t help you with upside down coats or backwards clothes (yup, my Annabelle went to church with her sweater dress on backwards this…

simple gadget cleaning with lenspen products :: review
Last year I was talking with one of my photography friends about how in the world I manage to get so many fingerprints on my lenses (or filters) and how to clean them quickly, safely, and easily. He asked me if I’d ever used a LensPen. I’d never even heard of them before but I…
