Someone Finally Gave the OtterBox a Stylish Makeover

May 3, 2013 By 4 Comments

A big thank you to Bubblegum Basics for providing a stylish OtterBox Commuter Case for review purposes. All opinions are my own, as always. As you may have noticed I'm notoriously hard on my phone. I can't help it, my phone is practically glued to my hand - much to the annoyance of my husband. Like most iPhone owners, I use it extensively for work AND play. Being new to the world of expensive phones and protective cases I did a little research. It was immediately evident that OtterBox … [Read more...]

Ponies and Princesses Are What Little Girls Dream Of

May 3, 2013 By 5 Comments

I got my first horse before I was 10 years old and from there I proved that horses aren't just a "phase." It's for this reason that my husband blames me for my daughter's obsession with the animal. Horse was the second animal Maddilyn recognized (next to her dog) and I think the passion started there. She was on a horse before she was 1.5 and it was about that time that she started to collect the stuffed vareity including, the classic stick horse. Next she fell in love with multiple … [Read more...]

Say Goodbye to Hair in the Shower Drain

April 29, 2013 By 4 Comments

Thank you so much Healthy Hair Plus for allowing us to use this product for review purposes. The last few months have not been easy for my grandmother. It started with forgetfulness, which she contributed to a busy schedule. But when she began experiencing hair loss and she gained over 30 pounds, she knew something was really wrong. After a visit with her doctor and and then a specialist we found out she has thyroid cancer. It was caught early and a routine procedure removes the thyroid but … [Read more...]

Every Moms Dream: To Remove Wrinkles

March 5, 2013 By 3 Comments

For the first few years of my mothers life, she lived in sunny California. It was enough to create a life long sun bunny. Now that she is a little *ahem* older and a nurse, she regrets her sun bathing days and credits her sun spots and uneven skin as unfortunate side effects. Instead of soaking up the rays, she is soaking up the cremes trying to reverse the damage and I can't blame her. So when we had the chance to review The Exuviance Performance Peel AP25 she was all over it! After a little … [Read more...]

iLuv ReF On-Ear Headphones: Why We Don’t Bicker Over The Car Radio Anymore (Giveaway!!)

February 26, 2013 By 37 Comments

I know I've said it a few times but I absolutely dread long car rides. Our cramped car isn't cut out for 2 adults, a toddler, 2 dogs and all of our luggage. Making a 2.5 hour trip (each way) one weekend a month can be grating on our nerves. It may seem silly but one point of tension is the radio. My husband I listen to VERY different types of music. For instance my most played radio stations on Pandora are Country Radio and Motley Crue Radio. His is Tech N9ne and Eminem. Like I said, we couldn't … [Read more...]

When Mommy Deserves Dessert and A Night To Herself

February 16, 2013 By 14 Comments

It doesn't happen very often but occasionally the stars align and mommy gets a night to herself. Even though I end up spending the majority of the night working and cleaning the house I always try to reserve some "me" time before I pass out early. It isn't very often that I can actually watch everything I record during the week. I don't remember the last time I got to read a book. Heck, I don't even remember the last time I got to pee by myself. I'm sure it was before my daughter was born. … [Read more...]

Snow Days are for Sledding Fun

*NOTE* The images from the camera are much crisper than the ones shown here. (the ones you see have been resized and the resolution reduced for faster page load)  Last weekend we made our monthly trek to Ludington, MI to visit my in-laws. I love visiting our relatives but I hate the weather. Being located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Ludington always get more snow, lower temperatures and higher winds than we do. Of course this makes my husband super excited, he can never wait to get a … [Read more...]

Cinderella Diamond Edition: A Timeless Classic

October 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment

A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. I still remember my first pair of super awesome light up shoes. Mine were cooler than cool because they also had Cinderella on them! I remember I got them one night shortly after the start of 1st grade and I couldn't sleep that night in anticipation of showing them off the next day.  While it feels like so long ago, it's nothing when you compare it to the fact Cinderella was first released in the 1950's. The timelessness of Disney … [Read more...]
