We were recently asked to try the new Gelarti paint and decorate peel off sticker kits as part of our back to school routine. Looking at Emma’s notepads and binders I thought she could use a little pizzazz and personalization and agreed to give them a try! The Designer Studio included the standard … [Read more...]

Back to School with Crayola Art Supplies
by 64 Comments
Back to School with Crayola Art Supplies The Crayola product, information, and additional gift pack have been provided by Crayola. Back to School, for us, always means new school supplies. You know, the typical ones: pencils, erasers, notebook paper etc. Our school supply list has always (in my 16 years of BTS shopping) included Crayola crayons, markers and colored pencils. The teachers specifically ask for these because they know they are the … [Read more...]
Back to School with Litter Free Lunch Boxes
by 45 Comments
Back to School with Litter Free Lunch Boxes We received two Litter Free Lunch Boxes for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own. It’s difficult to imagine, but every day over 9 million pounds of lunch garbage ends up as litter, or in our landfills. If you break it down to just your child... an average child bringing their lunch to school creates 67 lbs of waste a year, adding to the 3.5 billion pounds of lunch box garbage generated … [Read more...]

Magellan eXplorist GC Waterproof Geocaching GPS Disclosure: We received a Magellan eXplorist GC GPS courtesy of Magellan. All opinions are our own. My husband and I started geocaching over ten years ago. It was (and still is) a fairly inexpensive form of entertainment, you spend time outdoors in the fresh air, the scenery is oftentimes breathtaking and you get to explore areas near you that you hadn’t realized were there. And sometimes, … [Read more...]

How to Throw an Un-Birthday Party This post brought to you by Dollar Tree One of the most fun parts about birthdays is going to the party. It symbolizes fun and happiness. When the kids are out of school for the summer, they usually have fewer parties to go to. They also need something fun to keep the boredom away.

Get a Fresh Start To Your Finances

Get a Fresh Start To Your Finances My husband and I just had a financial chat with my 16 year old just the other day. He just got his driver’s license and will be starting his new job in the next few weeks. Our hopes for him are that he will not squander (ok, initially he probably will) away everything he earns and be responsible with his money. If we knew at the age of 16 what we know now about our finances, we could retire millionaires (anyone … [Read more...]

Kids and Medication Safety | Prevention For Safe Kids Worldwide It was about 18 years ago, but I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It was a busy morning... Dad had already left for work and I was busy getting myself together and Kaytlin ready for her day with her babysitter. She was only three, but a very smart and curious three. Our family had gone through a round of colds so the Dimetapp was in an easy to access spot in the bathroom … [Read more...]

Homemade Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe & Instructions
by 24 Comments
Homemade Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe & Instructions I have been on the hunt for a good homemade bread recipe that my family would willingly use for sandwiches. They have loved every bread recipe I’ve used, but with a regular loaf pan the loaf tends to peak in the middle. This causes peaks and valleys in the bread making them odd sizes and most are just not the right size for making sandwiches. During my hunt, I also was investigating … [Read more...]
