We received samples to facilitate this review. #Firefly4kids Creating Good Habits Young As a parent, I want to instill good habits in my kids. Good dental hygiene is definitely one of those areas. As a child, I wasn’t all that great at brushing my teeth and was very self conscious of my smile. After [...]
Trendy Maternity Clothing About a month ago, I pulled out my maternity clothing since I was starting to outgrow some of my clothes. I instantly realized that I needed to get rid of some things that were outdated or just worn out after my previous 2 pregnancies. It’s also a little different time of year [...]
Free Country Outerwear Although I’m more than ready for summer to be here, it’s important to stay warm until nicer weather arrives. It seems to have been a frigid and snowy winter here in Utah. I’ve been looking to get a new coat for some time now as my winter coat is from high school. [...]
Northside Snow Boots I’ve always lived in an area that has a pretty intense winter. I have great memories as a child of having snow drifts the size of our house, my dad making an ice skating rink in the back yard, school closures and sledding. Although I live in a different state now than [...]
Support & Comfort From Genie Bra I’m not sure that I’ve ever talked about bras on this blog, but I’m going there today. I’m going there because I’ve been in search of some new bras. If you saw my announcement today, you’ll know that our family is expecting a new baby at the end of [...]
Can Your Dishwasher Do That? Living in 7 different homes and apartments over the last 8 1/2 years has given me the opportunity to get a feel for different appliances and their strengths and weaknesses. One appliance that I’ve never been impressed with is our dishwasher. I can honestly say since my Maytag Dishwasher showed [...]
“Merci” as the French would say, means ‘thank you.’ How do you express your thanks to that co-worker, neighbor, boss or teacher? Do you give them a card or some other gift? How about expressing your thanks with a box of chocolates? In the tradition of fine European Chocolates, Merci of the Storck Company is perfect for [...]
#Isis Mobile Wallet More often than not, you will find me with a large purse on my shoulder wherever I go. Sometimes I have a lot in my purse, sometimes it’s just my phone and wallet. My wallet is pretty bulky and I often find myself digging for debit and credit cards, store rewards cards, [...]
Micro Chargers Once November hits at our house, I immediately start thinking of Christmas. I do wait until after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and decorations, but I’m constantly thinking of Christmas gift ideas for my boys. If you have a child that loves cars and is 3 years old or older, Micro Chargers [...]
Depending on Maytag Appliances A few weeks ago there was a particular day where there was a lot of squealing, giggling and skipping around. It wasn’t one of my kids doing it either, it was me. It was the day that my Maytag appliances were delivered. My husband and I have been married 8 1/2 [...]
Chuggington Koko Safari Set Chuggington has a great new addition to their wooden railway line, Koko’s Safari Set. When we received this set in the mail, my 4 year old exclaimed to me “Mom I feel so SO happy right now!” With a smile like that, I think you can believe it. I [...]

I almost can’t believe that the holidays are creeping up on us! I’ve started to think about Christmas and what we are going to be getting the kids, parents, family and friends. There are quite a few people on our list, and sometimes I struggle trying to find the perfect gift. Whether you are shopping [...]
Step2 Corvette Room Organizer Almost 7 years ago we brought our first baby home, and since then it’s been a challenge to stay organized. If you are a parent, you know that you start accumulating a lot more stuff when you have kids. As the boys have gotten a little bit older, they’ve accumulated quite [...]
Kia Rio Review Last month when I ran a marathon in Denver, my brother and I had the opportunity to drive a sporty Kia Rio around for the weekend. In all honesty, it had been 7 years since I had ridden in or driven a Kia. My last experience with Kia was not the best [...]
Frankenweenine Review A few nights ago, our family had the opportunity to attend a special local screening of Frankenweenie. I knew a little bit about the film before going, and I knew it was directed by Tim Burton. My boys had also seen trailers of the movie and were interested in seeing it. Before I [...]
Universal Studios The last stop that we made on our California vacation in August was to Universal Studios Hollywood. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Universal Studios but we all really liked it. I liked that there were entertainment options as well as rides. As part of our experience, we had front of [...]
Disneyland & California Adventure It has been 16 years since I have been to Disneyland and I’ve never been to California Adventure, so I was so excited to go with my family last month. I’m not sure if my kids or I were more excited to go. The boys had been talking about it for [...]
Get Gutzy Gear About a month before school was set to start, my soon to be first grader saw a cool backpack that he wanted and practically begged for it. I told him that we could maybe get it, but I was hesitant. I’d bought him a nice backpack right before kindergarten and it’s still [...]
Playmobil Take Along Soccer Match It’s been fun as our oldest has gotten to play sports over the last year. Currently, he is playing soccer. He absolutely loves it. The game is easy for him to understand and he’s moving around all of the time. I found it quite fitting that we recently got to [...]
