Spring Home Makeover | Mohawk Home Area Rug Review

Spring Home Makeover with Mohawk Home Area Rugs When I purchased the area rug for our front living room, I purchased the one I did mainly because it was in our price range. I had spent a bit of time hunting for just the right one, so when I found one the right size and in my price range that would work... I bought it. The colors were me... I’m all about green (just check out my walls), but there really is just too much green in that … [Read more...]

Aquaphor Healing Ointment & Lip Repair Review

Aquaphor Healing Ointment & Lip Repair It seems that the older I get, the drier my skin (head to toe) gets. We started using Aquaphor when our babies were little. Their sensitive skin would get red and crack during the fall and winter from the dry furnace air. One day I thought I might crawl out of my skin it was so irritated, dry and cracked. It was nearly impossible to not scratch, so I reached for my children’s Aquaphor in hopes it … [Read more...]

Memories with Schwinn | Boy Meets Girl | Sponsored Video

My first bike was a Schwinn. I clearly remember purchasing it with my parents at the local bike shop and then being allowed to ride it home (we lived just down the road).

This past weekend we had a garage sale and a Dad with his two daughters arrived to … [Read more...]

Terminix AllClear Mosquito Mister Lantern

Spring Home Makeover with Terminix AllClear Mosquito Mister Lantern   Summer is one of my all time favorite seasons of the year... except for the bugs. I can deal with pretty much all of them, but mosquitos are the worst by far. Not only are their bites a nuisance with the red itchy bumps they leave behind, but mosquitos carry diseases like Arboviral Encephilitides, Dengue Fever, Malaria, West Nile Virus and Yellow Fever. It’s no … [Read more...]

Vtech Safe & Sound Full Color Video & Audio Baby Monitor Review

Vtech Safe & Sound Full Color Video & Audio Baby Monitor Although my children are now 5 and 3, I still feel the need to monitor them at night with a baby monitor. My husband and I sleep with a sound machine on (originally purchased to drown out the sound of the neighbor’s barking dog) and I cannot hear them if they wake up crying in the middle of the night. For some reason, no matter how many times we tell them, they will not come into … [Read more...]
