I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. So from Tuesday July 23rd through Wednesday July 31st, I was camping on our annual Canoe Journey. Camping for an entire week with two young kids is actually not very easy. It is a lot of work. I realized that being home, having a staycation, would have been much easier with young children. Things like eating … [Read more...]

We love getting free toothbrushes. Who doesn't, right? But the ones we get from our local dentist are just not "fun" like some of the ones we see on the store shelves.
