Blogging Mama

*Me and my family were given a Tastykake VoxBox from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes. All opinions are honest and are my own unless otherwise noted.* When our celebration box was delivered to our doorstep one day right after my youngest daughter turned 5, I could have kicked myself for not recording the unboxing of it! Everyone was so anxious to see what was inside and I can tell you that the birthday girl was the most excited of all. She began thanking me and telling me I was the best mommy of all for "ordering" this package for "just her," but little did she know is that the box had 8 individual packages and inside of each there would be 3 minis. She then assumed the hat was her party hat, so we just went with it, she was having way too much fun!                                                             *M...

Here's the video of one of my most impressive freebie boxes yet! This one is from MomSelect and Disney. I can't wait to see what's in store for 2016! Let me know if you enjoy seeing my unboxing videos and freebie haul pictures. Also, make sure to follow me on  Twitter ,  Instagram ,  YouTube ,  Facebook ,  Vine , &  Pinterest Recently I was asked if I would like to share my mompreneur success story. I never feel like I am working at home aside from the job of being a stay at home mom, so this question came as a bit of a surprise to me. I began really thinking about the idea of sharing my story after I was told that other moms would love to know how to get into the review blogging world, because this is what I do on the side when I make a little time here and there. Another reason I decided to share with everyone is because I don't believe I've ever talked about my review blogging and freebie hunting except with a few people I know in real life...

Hello there friends! After a bit of a break from the blogging world for awhile, I am back with lots of fun new posts to share! I am most excited about getting the opportunity to show our #DisneySide through this wonderful @Home Celebration box FREE from Disney Parks and MomSelect !  Here is a preview of our Princess #DisneySide @Home Celebration box! Watch our new channel where the girls have decided they want to do unboxings and reviews with me. This is our first full unboxing movie! Show us some support if you liked the videos and subscribe to our channel.

So very glad to be back after a nice Summer Break with my children. It was fun while it lasted but now it's time to get back to those great reviews.   I wanted to tell those of you that didn't know, I am a part of a community called Crowdtap and since they are no longer in beta testing, they have all kinds of crowds to join and earn products and gift cards for your time. I am a part of the Lunchables Jr. Team  and they chose me to host a play-date ! I received 2 free kits as you can see in the first photo there on the left. I made a cute little collage and posted it online to see if I could get any interest in possibly a park play-date or a fun little backyard picnic. As you know sometimes things just don't go as planned and I decided to try a different approach. I would buy more and all snack kits and since my preschool aged daughters birthday was coming up, I would use this along with her theme "Doc McStuffins" for a picnic. The ideas were just com...

I was so very thankful to get this 10 pound package in the mail recently thanks to Crowdtap and  Cottonelle ! So when it comes to toilet paper, who really thinks about anything other than either the best deal you can get or what all the packaging says the product will do for you? Me, I love soft toilet paper but sometimes we have to go with what we can afford. I was very impressed with the Cottonelle Clean Care toilet paper with Soft Ripples, but just toilet paper was not enough, and I had never thought about it before. It was true to its packaging saying that it is both "strong and effective," but after following up with the Fresh Care wipes, I quickly learned what I was missing. It was  refreshing to know that I was extra clean down there! I mean if you clean a baby's bottom with baby wipes and know that they are actually clean, why not do it for yourself too? The best part is that it is flushable ! Here I though baby wipes were not flushable so we never did. ...

At first when I applied to host this party through Crowdtap & Marc Jacobs , I had no idea what to expect and thought it would not be any fun unless I served alcohol! When I was accepted to host and got the first shipment, I was pleasantly surprised with getting 12 samples and a 4 ml 0.13 Fl Oz tester (I think the bottle and polka dots are just adorable!) as pictured on the image to the left. I had to try it right away and really loved the scent! Not too overwhelming and I can see myself wearing this everyday. I would have been happy to begin planning with just those things but I was amazed at the second shipment and getting everything ( for free ! ) pictured in the second image. A full sized, 50 ml 1.7 Fl Oz DOT Marc Jacobs perfume, a DOT Marc Jacobs scarf, 20 blottercards, a polka dotted headband, 10 polka dotted nail decals for an in home manicure, black tablecloth, 6 red and black polka dotted balloons with black curling ribbon, and bright red confetti, all ...

Hello again! Just dropping in to tell you about the newest Sample & Share I got in for free from Old Navy  and Crowdtap ... Best Tees ! *image from Crowdtap* I am part of an online community called Crowdtap that brings brands such as Old Navy (Old Navy Style Council) in and people can work closely with them, providing feedback on their products and getting rewarded for their time with free products and points to earn gift cards. For that very reason, I have continued to stay active with this site for a few years now and I love it! As soon as I knew I was in on the next "Style Council" Sample & Share, I found someone different to take with me shopping. This time I chose my friend Norma. I made sure we had plenty of time to choose our clothing because in the past I have waited until the last minute to go shopping, not always finding a good selection to choose from. Like I said, this time I planned it in advance so...
