*I received these products for free from Crowdtap in the Garnier Crowd, to host a party where we were to test and review the products given* Please give me a day to get this blog fully posted. I had some great feedback I would love to share with you, my readers. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

*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 recently received a coupon for a free  Ore-Ida  product in my complementary Jingle Voxbox from  Influenster . All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.* I was asked to come up with some recipes and do a review on my Ore-Ida product selection. We chose the  Extra Crispy Tater Tots  because I figured you can't really go wrong with crispy tater tots and my family will devour them up quickly. I just recently was able to remember and go up to my local grocery store to pick them up. That's the only small problem I have with coupons in my Voxbox but hey, free is free, right?! As soon as I brought the product home, "Dads2cents" decided to make a couple to test them out. The bag said 425 degrees for around 20-25 minutes (sorry, I  didn't remember to get a good picture of the side for clarification.) I took them out, we tested a few and they were not fully cooked (had some lumps in them) or crispy. They were a bit more salty than I would have thought a...

I wanted to quickly share about something I recently saw on my Instagram feed. Someone posted a picture of a Snuggle Bear they had won from the Snuggle Bear Den Community. I did a quick Google search for this community so I could join as well. I reached out to Snuggle on Twitter and they confirmed that you can win the bear as a prize or buy one here: http://snuggle-bear-store.myshopify.com/products/snuggle-bear As I'm looking around the site, I see surveys, discussions, and missions where you earn points & badges. I do not know anything further than that, other than I know you can win prizes, possibly test products? I'll let you know more as I know more! I just joined #TeamSnuggle! Join me in the Bear Den and you might get free things, like a Snuggle Bear or other products. http://h3.sml360.com/-/ealr

*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.

*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...
