Healthier Hair and Scalp with Viviscal Shampoo and Conditioner- #Review

December 20, 2014 19 Comments

This post is brought to you by Viviscal. All thoughts expressed are my own. I am blessed (and cursed) to have very thick hair. I can't remember ever getting my hair cut without being told by the stylist how insanely thick it was, and commenting that they cut off more of my hair (even in trims) than all of their clientele that day combined. Unfortunately, however, I also have very, VERY dry hair and scalp, and in this past year have had a horrible problem with peeling. At first I thought it … [Continue reading]

December 19, 2014 37 Comments

This post is brought to you by Safeway. All thoughts expressed are my own. We all know I like to cook and bake. Bake mostly, but cooking is fun too (and far more necessary than baking, sadly). There's nothing worse for me than being unprepared when I'm in the kitchen so I like to be sure I have all of my ingredients on hand. With 4 kids who I have to take grocery shopping with me, it's so important for me to be able to shop at a store where I can get everything I need in one trip; even … [Continue reading]

American Girl Doll Samantha and Book #Review #HolidayGift

December 15, 2014 26 Comments

This post is brought to you by American Girl. All thoughts expressed are my own. My daughter started to love American Girl watching the movies, but fell head over heels when she received her first American Girl doll last Christmas. "Faith"- her My American Girl doll I picked out for her- has been her constant companion. She plays with her all of the time. She even brings her to church and her friends bring their American Girl (or other brand) dolls and they swap clothes and play. It's … [Continue reading]

I See Me! Personalized Children’s Gifts Review- #HolidayGift

December 12, 2014 18 Comments

This post is brought to you by I See Me. All thoughts expressed are my own. You know that joy you get when you find the PERFECT gift for someone? Yeah, I've got that right now and he hasn't even opened it yet. Being the fourth kid can be rough; just ask my little guy. Hand-me-down clothes, hand-me-down toys, hand-me-down books, hand-me-down furniture.... You get the idea. Due to being a large family (add on single income, tight budget,etc) it's not often that we buy him-or any of the … [Continue reading]
