My family and I spent a week driving around our small rural county in a beautiful Mazda CX-9. (Or what my two year old affectionately called 'the brown car', and no he didn't want to give it back.) This crossover SUV is amazing! The whole family enjoyed our time reviewing this vehicle. We ran around our small town on this crossover SUV and felt proud to be driving the Mazda CX-9. Most of our grocery shopping is done at Costco and I appreciated the fold down third row seating for all our … [Read more...]
Get a New Camera at Best Buy!
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. I have a great Nikon camera, but I honestly don't like lugging it around with me all the time. With two kids and a husband -- I just seem to have a lot of stuff to remember to bring. The problem is my smaller camera that can easily fit in my purse just doesn't take great quality pictures. A nicer, but smaller camera really is on my holiday wish … [Read more...]
LEGO fan in the house? Make a MiniFigure LEGO Card FREE!
My Princess was given LEGO Friends last year for Christmas. At that time, she wasn't quite into LEGO toys yet. But over the course of one year that completely changed. I think it started when she saw the LEGO television shows were available on Netflix. She loves watching LEGO now. Then, a couple months ago, I saw her pull out her LEGO Friends and start putting together amazing creations from a little book. No one had to help her. She didn't even ask. I was impressed. Now, this Christmas she … [Read more...]
He’s in LOVE with his Star Wars Shoes!
Winter often means new shoes for our kids. They also make a great holiday gift. We've always been big fans of Stride Rite since my Princess was young. They are just great quality shoes. So when I had the chance to review a couple pairs of the amazing Stride Rite shoes you know I was going a fun pair of shoes for my Little Man. His last pair was now a size too small, and every day he was asking to wear his "light up" shoes. When I saw the Darth Vader Star Wars shoes, that not only lit up but made … [Read more...]
1986 Called: Buy the My Little Pony Original Series
My daughter is a pretty big My Little Pony fan. When I was seven I was too. I loved My Little Pony. The My Little Pony original series was from 1986-1987! Can you believe it? My Princess has not seen any of the original episodes that I grew up watching. So I am pretty excited to be giving her the complete set for Christmas. She is going to be over the moon happy when she opens it. Get ready for lots of sunshine, rainbows, and happiness, pony-style! The original TV series that started the My … [Read more...]
We’re Using Technology to Learn to Read
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Rosetta Stone. I received a product and a promotional item to thank me for participating. We are making our way slowly through our first grade homeschool curriculum. Most days it is a struggle. Homeschooling is not easy. She complains a lot, does really well in her lessons, and really has no desire to attend our local private Christian school. I am leaning towards sending her. My husband and I are still … [Read more...]
Protect their Ears: Animalz Kids Headphones
Our family traveled a lot for my husband's previous job by car and by airplane. Oh, how I wish that we had Animalz kids headphones at that time. We are still traveling by mini-van around Washington state, so I am still thankful to have these, but I sure could have used them 1-2 years ago. Whether at home or on-the-go, Animalz by ReTrak retractable headphones are designed for little ears and feature volume-limiting technology in six lovable soft fabric animal designs: Biker Bearz, DJ Panda, Jam … [Read more...]
