Custom T-shirts from Dress United

Dress United

I have to admit, I am definitely one of those ‘t-shirt and jeans’ kind of girls. I have always preferred comfort over style. My closet is full of t-shirts. While I love them, many of them are just mass produced shirts that you may see anyone wearing on any given day. I would love to say my clothing is unique, but sometimes it gets hard to find items no one else wears. So, when I was asked to review a custom T-shirt for Dress United, I was lost in my own head trying to design something I would wear. I had so many ideas that I know it took a few hours for me to make a simple design. I knew I wanted something to show my support of pit bulls. I have been wanting a shirt for that cause since I lost my baby girl back in October. After a while, … read more

The X by Lorena Bathey- Book review

The X by Lorena Bathey

I have to admit, I am not much of a book reading person. I mean I read at least 20 kids books a day because my son has an obsession with books, so by the time I have a chance to relax, reading is not something I use to take up that time. When I do decide to pick up a book, I am very picky and it has to be something that can catch my attention. Oddly enough, that tends to only be vampire novels etc. I was a bit hesitant on choosing to read The X by Lorena Bathey. I read the plot of the story and it sounded like something that I could see myself enjoying. Nothing can beat a story of lies, deceit, revenge, and the unveiling of the true strength that a woman/mom can possess if the need arises. I had high hopes for the … read more

Astonish Your Kids Book Review

astonish your kids

I’m sure you have seen me review many different personalized children’s books. Most have the same concept. You child’s name is inserted throughout the story as the main character. It is a basic story that happens to include your child and if you are lucky, you can even edit a character to mimic the features of your child (hair color, eyes, etc) My 2 year old LOVES these books. But for the most part they are not as entertaining to my ten year old. Its a little harder to impress an older child who has been reading for a while.  So when I was approached to do a review for Astonish Your Kids I was a little skeptical that it would be a good read for an older child. I could see it would be too advanced for the baby, so I just gave it a try for the oldest. … read more

Cooking Up The Fun With Flirty Aprons

apron

I have always admired those famous chefs. You know the ones like Giada and Sandra Lee who always look so pretty standing over a flaming hot stove cooking up big meals for their families… Yeah, I look NOTHING like that in my kitchen! I have a mess, dishes everywhere, hair pulled up in a knot on my head, and trying to avoid sweat dripping down my face with the heat. Not a very attractive thought huh? I’m sure my husband would agree with you! So, when I was given the chance to review a product from Flirty Aprons, I thought there was no way I could make cooking lot cute! Although their aprons for woman, men, and even kids are very adorable, putting me in it just couldn’t give a “flirty” vibe! Or could it? I decided to review the Marilyn Sugar n’ Spice apron. It is a super cute … read more

Damsel In Defense

damsel in defense

Being a female who grew up in a not so great area, I am always looking for ways to protect myself. I’m not against carrying a gun or knife but I feel a knife wouldn’t do me as much good and I have not had enough gun training to be comfortable carrying one yet. So as it stands I have really been pretty useless in the self protection department. that is until I found Damsel In Defense. I received a few self defense products designed specifically with woman in mind. With these products, I can now feel confident that I can protect myself and my young son should the need arise. I received the package shown above from Rosi, a pro from Damsel In Defense to facilitate this review. Of course, I have not actually USED the products so I won’t say “oh that stun gun knocked him out and … read more
