Berkeley Plus Backpack Review {Giveaway}

This post is Sponsored by Case Logic but my opinions are 100% my own! Back to school is here and today I want to talk about backpacks.  Specifically the Berkeley Plus Backpack because I love it!  I don't ever remember using a backpack when I was in grade school.  I don't think we even had homework back then.  The amount of homework my girls gets each day is crazy and they are only in the 2nd and 4th grade!    So a big back pack is a necessity.  When my oldest went to Kindergarten the teacher sent a note home saying they needed a backpack, and a real one, not a little cutesy one.   They didn't so much as have homework all the time in Kindergarten, but they took a lot of stuff home so they...

Find Gold Emblem Abound Healthy Products on Shelves at CVS {Giveaway}

This post is Sponsored by CVS/Pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! For so many reasons, I am trying more and more to help my family eat healthier.  There is so much illness around us and I can only think some of it is because of how we eat.  And I don't mean just my family, I mean everyone.  It's so easy to drive through a fast food place and grab a quick meal.  Or run into the gas station and get some chips or candy.  They've made it to easy for us to make bad choices because lets face it,  American's are lazier now than they have ever been. So when a company that I love makes a conscious effort to help us make better choices, I get VERY excited.   If I have the option to grab...

Baby Tooth Book Memory Keepsake {Giveaway}

Baby Tooth Book Memory Keepsake {Giveaway}

This post is Sponsored by Baby Tooth Album but my opinions are 100% my own! I would love to freeze time and stop my children from growing up because it seriously goes by so fast.   Since I can't do that, then I try to keep mementos of important times so I can look back one day and remember them as babies.  I have stands of hair from their first hair cut, I have their first walking shoes, their outfits that they wore home from the hospital and now that they are losing their baby teeth, I have those as well.  Of course they don't know I have them or that would ruin the hole 'tooth fairy' fantasy!   However, they are just tossed in a jewelry box out of their reach.   I think I could use a...

Summer Giveaway Treat from Starbucks {Giveaway}

  This post is Sponsored by Starbucks but my opinions are 100% my own! Summertime is busy for all of us.  Whether you are a working parent of small children, big children or grown children, or a work at home parent of children and even if you don't have children, summer is still busier.  There is so much to do outdoors and people tend to have more get together's in the summer than in the colder months. As a busy parent, one thing I forgot to do sometimes is to take care of myself and slow down.  So every now and then when I get a nice package in the mail, like the one below, I get pretty excited.

Moxie Girlz™ Poopsy Pets™ {Giveaway}

This post is Sponsored by MGA Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! Have you seen the Moxie Girlz™ Poopsy Pets™ doll?  They are pretty popular with girls ages 7 and up. This summer my girls are really into playing with Dolls.  They've got a little town set up in their rooms where all the dolls live.  They don't have a doll house but make one using their cubbies in their rooms.  So cute and I love their imagination. We were walking through the store one day recently and we happened to be in the toy area and walked down the aisle where the Moxie Girlz were.  I already had a doll for review but hadn't given it to them yet.  Then all of a sudden my little one yes -  "OMG it's the...

Even though I have girls, it doesn't mean that they don't like building things, because they do!  If my husband asked them to build a toy plane, they'd do it.  Not only do they enjoy the challenge, but they enjoy doing things with daddy.  I've told you about nanoblock® before - the world’s smallest building block construction system from The Ohio Art Company and now you can purchase them at Target, one of my favorite stores to shop at!  nanoblock® has some cool sets too.  I love the 'Sites-to-See' sets where kids can build places from all over the world including the Taj Mahal, Big Ben, Crysler Building and more.  We...
