Frecklebox Personalized Gifts for Kids : Review [CLOSED Giveaway]

Emma and Ethan are easy to please when it comes to gifts, but for some reason a gift with their name on it makes them smile extra wide. I sometimes have a hard time finding personalized gifts for Emma because her “real” name (Emmaline) is not very common and usually not found premade.

Febreze Set & Refresh Unit & Refill Packs : Review

Febreze Set & Refresh Unit & Refills As a mom to a teenage boy, I am constantly remarking to him about the odors in his room. Seriously!! One day it smells like butt, the next day a sweaty football player and the next spoiled food. My comments never really seem to make an impact on him… his usual reaction is to say “yeah” and laugh. I’m pretty sure that the combination of his daily soccer practice and his lack of interest in doing his … [Read more...]

I loved Sheldon’s doppler effect costume, although I’m sure most people might mistake him as … [Read more...]
