My youngest son recently turned eight and he wants to know about alllll the things. Ever since he learned how to read he has been hungry for history, science, and odd facts. He reads nonfiction children’s books and reference books for kids almost exclusively, so when I had the opportunity to review a set of Weird…
I received a complimentary Pioneer car stereo in exchange for my honest review and promotion. I think we can all agree that raising kids can be expensive. Because of this, my family does its best to avoid unnecessary expenses, including a second car payment. Over the course of our twelve years together, we have managed…
I have been a fan of LeapFrog products since my (now) teenager was little. He had an old-school LeapPad and he loved that thing to death! I saw an improvement in his math and reading skills after getting the LeapPad but wondered if it may have just been a coincidence. Back then, LeapFrog didn’t have the wide…
You may be saying, “Wait! What?! An inflatable booster seat?! That’s crazy and it can’t be safe.” If this is you, then you are having the same reaction that I initially did. In fact, when I was approached to review this seat, I declined to review it because inflatable and booster seats shouldn’t be in…
This summer marks our fifth year in Denver. On one hand, it’s hard to believe that it’s been that long, and on the other, it seems we’ve been here for much longer. Even harder to believe is that we haven’t been to Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park in all of that time! If you…
Looking at Fido in the corner, have you ever wondered what kind of dog he actually is? Sure, he may look like a lab or a boxer, but is he really? Back in the day, you were left guessing, but now there is a way to test dog DNA and find out. But does it work?…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. You may have figured out by now that my cats are kind of spoiled. I don’t have any shame in admitting it. How can you say no to those little faces? So, of course, when I was given the opportunity to review The Cat Ball® cat…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and content are my own. A few months ago, I reviewed my very first Lily Nily children’s jewelry product: an owl bangle. This was a raving review as I really liked the design, construction, and visual aesthetic that the bangle has. After that review,…
I have detailed in a past review some of the pros and cons of the Buttons diapers. When I first tried this diaper brand, it was like a breath of fresh air for my stash; something new for me and it really revitalized my love for cloth. I even went so far as saying that…
When I first started to cloth diaper, I had a bunch of random pocket diapers that I would stuff with bamboo inserts when putting Tink to bed at night. Since she was a little very heavy wetter, I would usually double-up with a microfiber or prefold to make it as absorbent as possible. Unfortunately, everything…
I received complimentary tickets for my family to ride the Royal Gorge Santa Express in exchange for my honest review. It’s now December 1st and the Christmas season is officially in full swing. To kick off the holiday season, my family and I were excited to be given the opportunity to ride the Royal Gorge…
The Nicki’s Diapers website was one of the first I stumbled upon when exploring the possibilities for cloth diapers. While I did not end up purchasing from the site (I ended up collecting a bunch of used diapers for my starter stash instead), I recall looking through the many diapers in wonder and awe. The…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. This post also contains affiliate links. It seems like wired headphones may be going by way of the Dodo bird. The new iPhone 7 no longer had a headphone jack, so how long will it be before other phone brands follow suit? Are you…
I received complimentary Debbie Meyer® products in exchange for my honest review. This post contains affiliate links. Quite a few years ago I first heard about Debbie Meyer® GreenBags®. I thought they sounded like a great idea if they worked, so I bought some. It turns out that they worked great and kept my produce…
Over the last three years, I have heard a multitude of people that have loved AppleCheeks pocket diapers. They were one of the first brands of which I had heard but never got the chance to try them. I purchased my starting stash used, so have mostly used the diapers I got from others. Until…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. Switching from breast to bottle often isn’t easy for babies but is necessary when the mother needs to return to work (or in my case, school). There are numerous bottles on the market that claim to be the best for babies. Some say that…
As I have said before, I am a pocket diaper fan. Ninety percent of my stash consists of pockets, but I am a sucker for trying out new styles. Buttons diapers have definitely satisfied that curiosity. Prior to this experience, I have never used an all-in-two diaper. Literally every other type has come through my…
Recently Tink has been potty trained (not at night, but we’re working on it), therefore it is completely up to Little to assist me with diaper reviews. Naturally, I was ecstatic to get a new Mama Koala cloth diaper for reviewing on my newborn, especially from a company that I had never heard of before….
It’s hard to believe that my little man will be starting Kindergarten next month. It seems like it wasn’t too long ago I was changing diapers and now we’re preparing for real school. Time needs to slow down a little! To help prepare us for this new chapter, we had the opportunity to review some wipe-clean…
In my experience, finding decent (and cute) nursing clothes can be rough. When I had my first daughter, I owned a lot of clothes that suddenly fit me again, but were not appropriate for breastfeeding. She was born in February, so with it being so cold, a lot of my shirts were high-necked and I…
Are your boys anything like mine? My sons are polar opposites, but the one thing they have in common is that they love to build things. It doesn’t matter if it’s with a real building toy or not; if they can dream it, they will build it. Sure, building toys are a favorite, but my…
Good pockets are not always wallet-friendly and quite frankly, they can be a pain to spray clean sometimes. So I looked at using prefolds for a while and those can also get complicated. Let’s just say my husband won’t touch prefolds with a ten-foot pole. They have their benefits as well, but it wasn’t until…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for this review. Plastic jewelry is easy to find for children to play with, but sometimes that won’t work for a more sophisticated occasion. Luckily, the creators of Lily Nily recognized this problem and are working to rectify it with their beautiful jewelry. When I was first introduced…
I received a complimentary product in exchange for this review. This post contains affiliate links. Pajamas aren’t the first thing that I think of when it comes to maternity wear since most have stretch bands around the waist and comfortable tops. Yet even a standard pajama set has its limits and might become too snug…
