Jacob loves to play games, and he’s getting older now, which means he likes to play a variety of games now….also meaning he likes to play a few more interesting games (rather than just the normal preschool games).  We’ve really been talking about a family game night, so adding a few games to the mix [...]

Grilltech Terrace Fire Pit Review/Giveaway

There is honestly nothing better than sitting together with my family around a campfire….or in this case….a fire pit.  Whether we’re just vegging, watching the fire, talking together, making s’mores, or even roasting hot dogs, it’s one of the best feelings in the world.  I’m looking so forward to cool autumn evenings with my family [...]

We’ve been talking about instituting a family game night in our own house, just a night every week to turn off the tv and all other electronics….a night to just sit together at the table or on the living room floor and bond together over a multitude of fun games.  Our kids love to play [...]

Having a house full of boys can sometimes lead to some pretty stinky situations.  There’s just something about boys….and I know girls are stinky too, but sometimes a mom needs a bit of extra help to get rid of odors that can choke the living daylights out of her as she’s just innocently walking down [...]

Mickey 5-in-1 Tasty Baker

My kids love waffles and pancakes for breakfast; they’re always excited when we announce, as they’re pulling out their cereal bowls, that we’re making pancakes that morning.  Immense excitement and shouting ensues.

Pop Art Toaster has made pancake/waffle mornings just a bit more fun, with a hint of Disney magic included.  They sent us their Mickey [...]

Kids Konserve Snak Pak

Did you know that every year the average child’s lunch generates 67 pounds of trash? I mean, if you think about it, we have juice boxes, sandwich bags, snack bags, paper towels or napkins, etc. That’s a lot of waste going right into our already overflowing landfills.

Kids Konserve is a company started by [...]

Summertime is a time for playing outside, eating watermelon, going swimming, and of course, playing with Jelly Flyers!  My boys would definitely agree.

The beach is one of my favorite places to be, just feeling the warm sand squish between my toes and listening to the waves crashing up onto the shore.  However, when it comes time to pack it up and head home, cleaning up all that sand, especially off of little legs and feet and arms, [...]

Mayfair Lane Happeez Clippers & Whiteboard

Sometimes, for me, staying organized can be quite the task.  With all of the messages and packages that I get every single day, my desk can grow into a jungle.  The front of our refrigerator can be the same way, what with pictures, important messages or numbers, etc.  I think you can tell a lot [...]

Monopoly 75th Anniversary Giveaway

Monopoly is one game that can go on and on in our house. My husband loves to play this game, probably because he always wins, and he has no shame in flaunting his wealth in the game either.:) I, personally, don’t like to play Monopoly with him. LOL Even though I [...]

Tukaiz Personalized Folders & Notebooks Giveaway

Tukaiz is a very cool company that I only recently learned about; they make personalized school and office supplies like folders, notebooks, calendars, etc.  They do this in a very unique, artistic way, though.  They take pictures and “artistically” place your name within that picture.  The name might be right out in the open and [...]
