BOB Revolution SE Stroller

BOB Revolution SE Stroller Sample received for review purposes. All opinions are my own. I have been in love with BOB Strollers for a long time. They are so modern looking and come in some great fun colors as well. I was beyond ecstatic to receive a BOB Revolution SE in orange to review. Out of the box there is some assembly required which took me about 5 minutes to put together, then I was ready to go. The stroller is rated for use … [Read more...]

Minimize Sun Exposure With UV Skinz Swimwear

Minimize Sun Exposure With UV Skinz Swimwear Sample received for review. All opinions are my own. Once the last bell of the school year rings, my kids spend a majority of their time outside. I do my best to keep them lathered with sunscreen, but when I found out there was also swimwear that helped protect their skin I knew I needed some. Ethan is my fair skinned beauty. His Scandinavian roots run deep and his fair skin burns easily. UV … [Read more...]

Avoid Summer Brain Drain with Netflix | #StreamTeam

Avoid Summer Brain Drain with Netflix | #StreamTeam My kids both hit summer running... literally. They are out the door the minute the sun is up. That is, until it reaches the low 90’s and above, or we have a dreary rainy day. Then it’s straight to the television. To avoid pointless viewing, I love to put titles like the ones below into their watch list to help avoid summer brain drain. Hopefully some of these might spark a little … [Read more...]

Sunscreen Bands Monitor Your Kids Sun Exposure

    Sunscreen Bands Monitor Your Kids Sun Exposure In the United States, 1 in 5 children will develop skin cancer. Did that get your attention?

He spent his entire life worshipping the sun. Shirtless, deep tan and on the water was his … [Read more...]

Pack the Perfect Purse | From Diaper Bag to Purse | #PoisewithSAM #ad

Pack the Perfect Purse | From Diaper Bag to Purse This post is part of a sponsored program for Socialstars #PoisewithSAM . I finally made it back into the world of most adult woman. I started carrying a purse... again. I have been carrying a diaper bag, or kids bag, for nearly 8 years.  It seemed strange to me to when I no longer needed a bag for diapers, wipes, toys, sippy cups, and my things. I was left with “my things” and nowhere … [Read more...]
