5 Apps for New Drivers #FordDriveSafe

5 Apps for New Drivers #FordDriveSafe This post was written as part of the #FordDriveSafe program. All opinions are my own. This was the look on my son's face as he shared with me that he passed the driving test. If you had turned the camera around back at me, I probably had a similar look mixed with pure terror (hidden behind my smiling face). We had done our part with the hours of driving instruction and the years of being a good role … [Read more...]

Motorola MBP36S Video Baby Monitor #MotorolaBabyMonitor

Motorola MBP36S Video Baby Monitor  As a mom to four children, I have been through my fair share of baby monitors. When my 22 year old was tiny, we did not have enough money for a monitor so we relied on having a quiet house to hear. Baby number two five years later found us in a little better situation. Our house was less quiet because we had an older child, so a monitor was on our shopping list. Our last two children are only 6 … [Read more...]

HGG | Little Tikes Tunnel N Dome

Little Tikes Tunnel N Dome     Little Tikes Tunnel 'N Dome arrived at my house for a review and boy where my kids excited and itching to get it set up. Taking it out of the box there was some assembly required, it took me maybe 5 min to set it up and have it ready for use. There weren't any tools required nor any screws, everything just slides together. It's getting colder outside so I set it up in my basement so it … [Read more...]

Kmart Fab 15 Toy List is Out #Fab15ToysCGC

I have fond childhood memories of going through catalogs and creating my holiday wish list. I didn't know how or why... to be honest I never really thought hard about it then, but some how Mom, Grandma and Santa always came through for me. One year I desperately wanted the hot toy of the season... a Cabbage Patch doll. I was obsessed and I am sure my family was stressed. They didn't have the internet to help them seek out these hot toys. … [Read more...]

Mega Bloks in Your Cereal

Mega Bloks in Your Cereal Samples received for sharing the news. All opinions are my own. As a little girl, one of my favorite parts of breakfast was opening a fresh box of cereal and digging in clear up to my elbow to find the hidden prize. Who cares how much cereal overflowed the box or how much I pulverized the cereal remaining in the box, right? Oh! Heaven forbid my little sister got there before me. My mom wasn't impressed (especially … [Read more...]
