One of the staples of Summertime is having a nice cute pair of sandals. Ideally, they are comfortable and match any outfit you choose. This applies to children as well as adults. I’ve been lucky enough to find an excellent pair of sandals for myself from Amazon and I am so sad summer is almost over. For my daughter, I think we have found her favorite! They are the denim and gold girl’s sandals from Chillipop. They feature two buckle straps that secure around the ankle. I love that design because my daughter loves taking shoes off but with the double buckle, that issue has disappeared! I love the color contrast between the gold and denim straps. The gold adds a touch of shine and cuteness while the denim provides the functionality you need to go with every outfit. This is literally the only pair of shoes she grabs when it’s time to leave the house! With all that goodness, comes a minor issue that I’ve noticed. My daughter is very rough as she runs around with her brother and the

One thing that we try to do in our house is instill a love of reading in our kids. Growing up, my favorite series was the Goosebumps series. Although I did not own every single book, I am pretty sure I have read each one at least once. They were not exactly Scholastic book fair worthy (also a favorite!), but they had me mesmorized. I especially loved the "choose your own ending" books. These days, I am into different romantic novels as well as biographies. My kids seem to be into something different each week, but so far, they enjoy stories that feature their favorite movie or television show characters like Shimmer and Shine or Thomas the tank engine. Reading before bed has become part of our routine and they love choosing which book to read each night. One issue we come across is having the bright overhead light on while I am trying to put them to bed or having my own bedroom light on while my husband is trying to get a good night's rest. I was thankful to come acr

As you may know, we are quite the music fans in this house. My husband’s musical taste ranges from hard rock to country, I love alternative to pop and my kids love those and everything in between. If there is one thing I enjoy doing while listening to my music, it’s listening to my favorite jams while doing getting things done around the house. I don’t always have the luxury of blasting my tunes through the house since my youngest (thankfully) still takes naps. Luckily, I have a great set of headphones.  These wireless Bluetooth headphones from Riwbox were a great find. First, they are hot pink which makes them cool by itself. I typically favor purple but these just tickle me inside. They fold up nice and compact which is great for travel since I can just throw them in my bag and go. They come with a few accessories like the charging wire and an auxiallary cord.  They turn on with the simple click of a switch as it quickly starts searching for a Bluetooth device to link to. O

I have always been interested in all things Green and environmentally friendly. Products ranging from household cleaning products to personal hygiene. I was all ears when I first learned about Himalayan Pink salt. Some of the many benefits include detoxifying the air, increasing blood flow, decreasing allergies and improving mood. I had the chance to get all that and more with this Himalayan Pink Salt Nightlight. I set it up in my daughter’s room. It has a very easy setup and even comes with an extra Nightlight bulb. I love the butterflies on the outside. They really pop when the Nightlight is turned on. My daughter loves staring at it from her bed at night. It comes with enough salt crystals to fill it to the brim and once done, you can sit back and enjoy the soothing, warm glow it provides to the room. Interested in getting one for yourself or someone else this coming Mother’s Day? Check them out here:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792VL378/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&q

As you may know, I am a Pet Parent. Our furbaby's name is Roxxi and she will turn 10 years old this June. She is a cute little Corgi and Shiba Inu mix so she basically is short and looks like a fox. Along with that cuteness comes a thick full coat which is a beautiful brown color. When we buy her accessories like collars, we are very choosy and tend to stick to the thick ones and ones that really stand out against her coat. Enter the PetTastic  Adjustable Dog Collar. These collars come in so many beautiful colors with coordinating designs. I chose to go with this bright coral color that featured beautiful watercolor roses. Very feminine! The collars come in three sizes- small, medium and large- and are made from polyester webbing for the straps, neoprene lining and plastic buckles. It includes a metal ring to attach a leash as well as a plastic ring to attach a dog tag. Roxxi loves her gorgeous adjustable PetTastic collar and you will fall in love too! Check them ou

When I'm not spending my time playing referee with my kids, cleaning up a mess or doing a mountain of laundry, I am searching the web for my next great deal. Shopping is one of my favorite past-times and if I can save money while doing it, it is a plus. But if I can get money back, I'm SO there! Fast forward to when I found Dosh. Dosh is an app that is available on iPhone and Android whose motto is "Get paid to shop, get paid to eat, get paid to sleep.  Ooooh, pretty purple! Sounds pretty great, right? Where does this free money come in? Don't worry, here it comes! Once you download the app to your phone, you sign up and link a credit or debit card. Why? You get $5 automatically added to your Dosh account. Not only that, but when you shop through Dosh's links using the linked card, you get a certain percentage of cash back on those purchases! $25 back for your first hotel booking, 5% back for Papa Johns orders and so much more. How cool is that? Getting p

As I sit here writing this, I can't help but feel a bit emotional. I have no clue where time has gone. I attended a transition meeting for my son today and we discussed his next venture- Kindergarten! I swear it took everything in me not to break out into a bout of ugly crying. I feel as though I just had him yesterday. He has come so far from his stay in the hospital at birth for jaundice to his start of speech therapy at school. He has grown quite a bit and is talking up a storm. He is so smart and is learning so much more every day. He is super excited though to be able to ride the big bus with the big kids. I feel like this may be harder for me than it will for him. Ha! My daughter will be 3 in March and she is soon to go off to start pre school. I'm not quite sure she knows what school is just yet but she is just as excited. She knows she gets to wear a backpack and leave the house! She gets plenty of interaction through play with her brother, but I know peer interaction

As you know, we are pet parents. Our furbaby Roxxi is almost ten years old now and is a Corgi/Shiba Inu mix. She gets most of her features from her Corgi side- her short stubby legs, and small-ish frame. Her crazy shedding she most definitely gets from her Shiba Inu side. I had the opportunity to try out the FurBliss pet hair brush.  "The No Fuss Brush" There are a variety of sizes depending on what size dog you have. I chose the yellow brush which is for medium and large breed dogs with short hair. There are so many great features. It is made from a soft silicone. Of course there is the main part which is for brushing and de-shedding. It has long and short flexible pieces that really grab the dog's fur while being gentle and massaging. Although I  used it while Roxxi was sitting calmly on her bed, it can also be used while your pet is wet.  I really like how gentle it is on her fur while still doing a good job of de-shedding her. I have tri

We are very fond of music in our household. My husband loves listening to Country, Rock, Alternative and Oldies while I love Pop, Country and some hip/hop and RnB. Together, there is always the sweet sound of music forever playing while our kids are belting out lyrics as best as they can. My husband is particularly fond of listening to his favorite songs while in the shower. While he has a well taken care of iPhone 6s plus, the songs are often drowned out by the force of the shower. It is available in 3 great colors. I had the pleasure of trying out this AncordWorks Shower/Outdoor Speaker and was pretty impressed. To start off, there are three different colors to choose from: Army Green, Black, and Orange. It is a nice palm sized speaker, it is waterproof and comes with a few nice accessories.  There is a carabiner to clip onto the top of the speaker for use outdoors. You can clip it onto your purse at the park or your backpack while hiking and enjoy your favorite

I received the following product at a discounted rate in exchange for a review, but all opinions are my own. Despite the fact that it is well after the Holiday Season, we all still love to get cool toys to play with. It took all I had in me not to mention to my kids that these Mochi toys were on their way. If you have toddlers, you know endless loop of YouTube videos that feature other kids playing with those super cool stretchy toys. Well, now it was our turn! Mochi toys are really neat squishy toys. They are made from a super soft silicone and are made in the shape of different animals and other Kawaii. Look how cute they are! These particular Mochi came from  Amazon and comes in a pack of 12. My kids had no second thoughts about diving right in and playing with them. Look how stretchy!!!   They are all so cute and adorable but my favorite one was this fat cat! I don't know why but it cracked me up and felt very stress relieving to sit there and just squish
