* Kitty Kick Stix  was very generous in sending "Bear" & "Hans" their most popular 15" Kick Stix to test and review. While we did receive a product for free, all opinions are entirely my own!  (Our 15" Kitty Kick Stix) Since adopting "Bear" at the end of the year last year, we quickly realized he was no ordinary cat. Here is a short story about his life journey and how he became our kitty. Abandoned as an itty bitty tabby kitten with 1 sibling, they soon were taken in by  Operation Pets Alive . His foster mom bottle fed him and helped him grow into the 5/6 month old kitten we would adopt later on. (Such a cute little kitten he was!) When we met "Bear" for the first time I just knew I had to have him. He was in one of those cat condos in a pet store and I always feel so guilty looking in at the kitties through the window. He seemed to be very playful but also very affectionate. I thought he would be the perfect ...

*I was given a gift card to purchase the product mentioned below in exchange for my honest review. Although I might have received a free product, all opinions are all my own and not influenced because of the incentive. I'm back again with another product to review from  Trybe  and this time it is a  Babybjörn Soft Bib . With the  BabyBjörn  brand, I think the only product I have ever owned from them was probably a soft infant carrier. My knowledge on this brand is limited but I am always willing to try something new and provide my honest feedback on the product. Now I have to admit, I do not think there was such a product back when my other children were younger, or I just didn't know about them at the time. If I did know about them, however, I don't think I would have ever purchased a cloth bib as they really do nothing in the way of helping contain the mess and then you have a gross bib to put in the washing machine. Most li...

*I was sent these products to test and review for free. While I may have been sent free product, all opinions are honest and my own. I am also hosting my very first giveaway that you can see posted at the bottom of this review. The winner will be notified on February 21st when the giveaway ends.* I am in no way qualified to give any kind of dieting advice so when I talk about things in this post it is from my own personal experience and preference as well as my honest opinions. Have you ever tried to make your own granola or bought your own to try and eat a little healthier but you just didn't like the flavor or how it turned out? Were you looking for a Paleo friendly option but couldn't find something with clean ingredients that was also grain free? If you answered yes to either of these questions then I might have an answer for you. Kitchfix Honey Pecan Grain-Free Granola  &  Kitchfix Original Mix Grain-Free Granola Eaten b...

They were both delicious and helped while my family was getting anxious about our Thanksgiving meal being ready at a decent time. I loved how everything was individually packaged so the crackers were nice and crisp and the meats were very flavorful. I would pull the crackers out once opened and put them in a baggie ...

Although I might have received free products, all opinions are all my own and not influenced because of the incentive. Blogging Mama for  Trybe  again and I have something cool to share with you today! I am a mom of 4, so you can imagine, I have tried out a lot of products with my children over the years. It has been 7 years now since I have had a little baby in the home and of course products change all the time. My almost 9 month son, Jonathan, is just now trying out sippy or trainer cups. There's a bit of some mixed emotions with that because he is growing up so fast it seems that he's not much of a baby anymore. He did not really like some of the traditional cups and has never really wanted to hold a bottle much less a cup. Here's where I got excited, because as soon as I handed the Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup  to him, he just figured it out right awa...

*We received a free package of  Hi-Chew to try and review from Trybe. You can get cool things to try and review for yourself, join here: https://trybe.com?ref=bloggingma Add a comment… My children love Hi-Chew  candy but I have never tried it before. Once we received our bag we just had to get into it. Watch our YouTube taste test video below for a more authentic review. A long lasting chew that did remind me of gum texture. They were very flavorful as well.  These were so delicious that we gobbled up the whole bag during our taste test! 😂 🍏🍓🍇🍏🍓🍇 I saw other varieties at our local stores and would be very interested in trying more in the future, especially the Fizzies. Here's a link to their products and where you can buy them. bloggingmama Add a c...

*I was given the products discussed below from Moms Meet in order to test and review. Although I may be compensated for my review all opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.* So, the word "probiotic" is completely new and different to me. I really don't go out of my way to research products with them in it and why it may or may not benefit me or my family. I have a lot to learn apparently.  I would like to help my children and I stay healthy so I decided we would try these out. Please do your own research to form your own opinion of these products. What are probiotics? Why do we need them? What do they do? Are they safe?  These are some questions that came to mind when I received the Probiotics Collection  that contained:  JARRO-DOPHILUS® WOMEN ,  FEM-DOPHILUS® SHELF STABLE ,  JARRO-DOPHILUS® INFANT DROPS , &  YUM-YUM DOPHILUS® . According to my very limited research, the reason you may take a probiotic product is to help ...

* I was given a gift card to purchase Sophie the Giraffe on Amazon as an influencer for Trybe. All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted and not influenced by the incentive.* Well, I've been with  Trybe  almost a year now and just a couple months being an influencer with them. In that time I have tested and reviewed  Philips Avent Pacifiers ,  Gerber Childrenswear Burp Cloths , Sophie, and 3 other products I will be posting reviews about in the upcoming weeks. I am enjoying testing the products with my family and sharing my opinions with everyone. I so appreciate everyone taking the time to read my reviews, it really does mean a lot to me. Thank you! I was so very excited when I got the original invitation to apply for testing on Sophie the Giraffe. Why you may ask? It's only because I have seen and heard so much about this popular infant teether and was hoping my little drooling 5 month old would get to test it out for himself. I stalked my email...

So I recently joined an Influencer site called  Trybe  where you get to review products for free. Click the highlighted link to join Trybe with me! The cute designs of these burp cloths were hard to resist. When shopping online I noticed that all the styles offered were totally different from the ones in the original invitation to try them out. I went with the cute hippo and alligator prints. I noticed they also had the same styles in a more traditional burp cloth that covers the entire shoulder which is more ideal with a floppy baby during burp time. The material feels like a bath towel and is not soft which I would have thought it would feel like. Besides it being cute and smaller, (which makes it look a lot better than a giant white...

So I recently joined an Influencer site called  Trybe  where you get to review products for free. Click the highlighted link to join Trybe with me! My Influencer Video on Instagram I was selected to review Philips Avent Pacifiers  and was sent a gift card to purchase them online or at a local store. I purchased 2 sets. A Soothie Pacifier  set for 0-3 months and a Nighttime Pacifier set for 6-18 months. So...my son has been testing these new pacifiers out for about a month now and I still don't know what to think of them. He's not been one that just has to have a paci 24/7 and he keeps spitting them out. About the only time he will keep them in is when he's ready for bed. What I do like is that the one set i...
