Stampin’ Up: Oh Happy Day Card Kit Review

Stampin’ Up – Oh Happy Day Card Kit – Review and Giveaway

As time has gone on I have noticed that time is much more of a commodity. The goal now-a-days is to maximize time and consolidate tasks as much as possible.

I have noticed that as we get older events are brushed under the rug, and the dates that were once special no longer hold the same reverence.

The first time I realized this was in my mid-30’s and it was my birthday. I remembered days when I received cards in the mail, and phone calls from everyone in my phone list, and I noted that that birthday was different. It seems fitting that since I am all about nostalgia and celebration that I acknowledge dates otherwise pushed aside.

Since I am a traditional girl, I love to send cards to loved ones for holidays and events, and even my neighbors have received cards for their special days. When I saw the Oh Happy Day Card Kit I knew it would be the perfect for the occasions that I want to commemorate.

Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Review

Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Review and Giveaway!!!!

Since I am a review blogger and thus a small business owner, time is precious and ease is preferred over almost any other option.

One of the healthiest and simplest snacks that I have discovered is freeze-dried fruit. The thing that makes these healthy is that this is a single-ingredient snack. Since it is only fruit they are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free and kosher. As an added plus they have no added sugar or artificial flavoring.

When I received the Crunchies Freeze Dried Fruit Assortment for review, I was looking forward to sample some fruits that I had not tried freeze-dried before.

Sugru: Moldable Glue Kit Review

Sugru: Home Hacks Made Easy Kit Review and Giveaway

Many people who know me know that I love a good hack, and even better when the hack works.

Since we are now homeowners the home repairs fall to us and the responsibility to make repairs falls upon us. I am not going to lie, I miss the days in which I could just make a call and the repair would be completed. Sadly that is not the way things are now, and as with life, I adjust.

As many fellow homeowners can agree, everything is expensive. Even when things seem like they should be easy fixes it ends up triple the cost. When I discover hacks to fix and repair items I get excited. When Sugru Moldable Glue reached out to me, I was immediately intrigued by this moldable glue.

Take A Hike Adult Coloring Book Review

Take A Hike: An Outdoor Coloring Adventure Review and Giveaway

Of all the things that I like doing there is one thing that I am not particularly fond of – Camping. There is a reason I feel this way – I had a bad camping experience, although I did not know it at the time. The person who took me camping believed in MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat – commonly consumed in the field in the military) as meals, rock climbing without teaching and sleeping on the rocks.

Now when I met my current husband, I relayed this camping adventure to him, and he with a horrified look told me that camping was not like that at all. As I sat there he told me of disappearing for the day fishing, his mom’s homemade food in the middle of Mammoth, and hiking with his sisters. I took his word as true, after all he had gone camping with his family 3 weeks every year since he was a kid!

When I received a copy of Take A Hike: An Outdoor Coloring Adventure by Blue Star Coloring and Jared Wright he was immediately taken back to those long days of fishing, camping and fireside chats. Continue reading →

Ralphs ClickList Review

Ralphs ClickList Review + Gift Card Giveaway

@RalphsGrocery provided me with compensation in exchange for this sponsored blog post. However, all opinions expressed here are my own based on my experience using this service”

Of all the things that I have to do as an adult, grocery shopping is the one I enjoy. There is something calming about the routine in pushing the cart up and down the aisle. There is almost an adventure in seeing the items on sale and a joy at the end seeing the total drop down as those sale items become savings.

Despite the relaxation that I feel while shopping there are days that I know what I want, I know what is one sale and my only goal is to get in and out of the store.

Since our store was recently remodeled and as this transformation became complete I began seeing signage for a new service called Ralphs ClickList.

Organizing for Your Lifestyle Review

Organizing for Your Lifestyle: Adaptable Inspirations Socks to Suitcases Review + Giveaway

As many people might be aware I live in what some would consider a tiny house, we call it our “Shrinky Dink” house.

Since we live in such a small home every space is vital and each space must be maximized whenever and wherever possible. There are many boxes stacked on shelves and labels are used all the time.

I am always open to finding new tips and when I saw an opportunity to review Organizing for Your Lifestyle: Adaptable Inspirations from Socks to Suitcases by Jane Stoller.

Tin of Tags by Stampin’ Up Review

Stampin’ Up – Tin of Tags – Review and Giveaway

If there is one thing that I find occuring earlier are the holiday advertisements. My first thought is usually a plea to hold of on the passing of time, and why start advertising so early.

As I have gotten older I see there is a very practical reason for this mass holiday marketing, and while much of it is over my head, it boils down to planning. Most people start planning for the holidays and gift giving 6 months before the holiday.

The other thing that starts coming out this time of year are the holiday catalogs. While I know we still have some time before the holidays are thrust upon us, it is never to early to start planning. On September 1st Stampin’ Up released its Winter 2016 catalog and that is where I encountered this Tin of Tags Project Kit. I thought it might be fun to have this early holiday giveaway in support of the catalog release!

The Ginger People: Ginger Rescue & Arjuna Bar Review and Giveaway

Let’s be honest, we all live stressful lives and sometimes that stress manifests into stomach issues. Most medicines that are made to help stomach issues are harsh and have less than positive side effects.

Since me and concept of nausea are very familiar I appreciate easy solution that will be as natural as possible. Given that this is a common problem during one of Jason and I’s many discussions he suggested that I try a ginger based solution.

I had done a review for the Ginger People about a year ago, and since they recently released some new products, I was curious to try their new ginger products.
