* 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 selected to be a Bob's Red Mill Influencer as a part of the Moms Meet community. I am a Mom Ambassador & also a Mom Blogger there. I was given a few coupons, (8) single serve oatmeal cups, a bobble head of Bob, and a few informative items to read over, all for free for testing and reviewing purposes!* As part of this new program on Moms Meet, I was asked to submit a product review video. I left this up to my 'Unboxing Kids' to do a taste test review. I like oatmeal but normally don't eat it a lot for breakfast, especially in the summer months. I was curious about this program as I had never tried Bob's Red Mill products apart from some flour I recently bought at my local grocery store. I had made my own oatmeal very similar to the ingredients in these little portable cups but I really liked the idea of having a very easy way to do this with little effort on my part. Upon opening the box, I inspected the following contents:  *2 of each of the fo...

* I received a custom VoxBox for free from Influenster and Country Crock . This product was given to me to test and review. All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted! When you think of butter, what comes to mind? For me, it's Country Crock! Why? The answer is simple, because it reminds me of simpler times, baking in the kitchen with my grandma. Also, every time you would come over to her home and open her refrigerator for whatever reason, you would see butter containers all over. Inside these containers you wouldn't know if you were going to find leftovers or butter. It was something that always made me laugh and another sweet memory of grandma.  Now, back in the day, I don't remember if there was just one size that the butter came in or not. I don't even remember the flavor it had. It has been a very long time since I have had Country Crock. What I do remember about it is the memories that were made in the kitchen with grandma and hopefully I will be ab...

*I received these products for free from Crowdtap in the Playskool Crowd. In exchange I will be testing and reviewing to give my honest feedback* Here is little miss Katelyn doing an Unboxing video for YouTube & Vine.                 Link to YouTube video & my channel Please stick with me! I have some great material to show you in the next few days but I'm also trying to sort out my room/office so I don't have to keep making posts on my iPad.

*I was given a complementary VoxBox from  Influenster  for testing and reviewing purposes* Until I've gotten a chance to review all of my products, (a.k.a when the kids go back to school!) here's a little spoiler video to tide you over. I plan on editing it properly on YouTube, but she's a natural and I hate messing with her videos. I think I'll post the detailed information from Influenster into the description bar on the video and again in this blog post instead. Let me know if you liked her videos and would like to see more. We have more saved material but wonder if it's worth the trouble to edit and post them. If you've never heard of  Influenster , click on the link that's underlined, and you can join with me and others that get to test and review products for free.
