Children's Probiotic Review


I love that these probiotics have no sugar, are NON-GMO and are made in the USA. They also have no gluten, lactose, wheat, soy,eggs, shellfish, and tree nuts which make it very allergy friendly. The lid is easy to open with the pop top so I don't have to fight the bottle trying to get a pill out for my daughter. 

Each pearl has 3 billion CFU's and are time released to maximize results. They are VERY tiny pills and only one a day is needed which makes this an amazing price for a 60 day supply. The flavor is awful so definitely use a delicious drink after or maybe a snack (apple sauce perhaps? whatever your child prefers will work!) in order to get rid of the taste. I guess you can't necessarily have a delicious pill AND great results...would definitely prefer it to not taste great but perform well if I had to choose! 

Head on over to Amazon if you want to purchase a bottle yourself for $11.87

Forever Flex Exercise Ball Review

Available in black and purple!
I try to live a semi-healthy lifestyle which means exercising when time permits (single mom to a very active toddler!). I have rods in my back from scoliosis however, so there are a lot of physical things that cause me more pain. So, I'm a bit limited in the exercises I can do. I really liked using these type of exercise balls during physical therapy after my surgery, so I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to receive one discounted in exchange for my honest review of it.

I am happy with it! It comes with the hand air pump to blow it up which is super convenient. The first thing I noticed is that it is very durable and strong. 

Fitness balls have various exercise purposes:  It can be used as part of a pilates program or for yoga (I am trying to get into yoga to help with my back after the surgery). Fitness balls can also improve your core and overall strength as well. 

If you would like to order your own they are available on Amazon for under $25

Mamaway Ring Sling Review


Over the past couple of years I have used different carriers for my daughter (she is now 2.5) and I love trying new ones out. She doesn't like to be worn as much now (she prefers to run free...which I do not prefer for her!). 

I received this ringsling from mamaway in exchange for my honest review and figured that was the perfect opportunity to test out a new (to me) ring sling and then add it to my new mommy gift basket for the next baby shower I attend. 

I saw the reasoning on another post regarding the use of nylon rings versus metal and I think that's a great idea. Being able to transfer sleeping baby without worrying about waking them is a major thing for a new parent (or a seasoned parent with a new baby!). 

The fabric is great and works for just about anyone...it is gender neutral for baby and parents! Ring slings are a great option when baby is smaller because you can keep them close while they sleep or breastfeed.

Pick up your own mamaway ring sling on Amazon for $69.99

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities! Review


I have always been interested in Ripley’s Believe It or Not items since I have yet to make it to a museum (I live too far away!). This book is amazing. It has so much information and you receive a large book filled with crazy facts for such a great price. You will find “eye-popping oddities” for just about every imaginable category – whether it be animals, tattoos, bugs, plants, accidents, food, etc.


There is something for everyone in this book and even some things you will wish you never saw or heard of so be careful with some photos and stories as they are not for the faint of heart! I believe this book has made me a fan and I may need to add to my collection because it's just fun to learn new things.

Check their book out here for $14.99

Desk Flag Review


I was given the opportunity to receive and review a custom desk flag from www.deskflags.com and overall I am satisfied with the quality. The flag itself is made from vinyl and is on a flag pole with a tip that is not overly sharp. It also came with a clip so you can clip it to your desk. 

The company sent me a custom flag with my company's name on it along with the American Flag in the background. I think it is a good quality and would work for personal or professional usage.

I also did a video review which I posted on YouTube and shows more detail than my photo does justice for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUUSc1jhJYI

Tooth Fairy Pillow Review


This tooth fairy pillow is really cute and I'm excited for my daughter to get older so I can use this with her (she's 2.5 currently). The pillow is well made from a felt type material. It has a really cute pocket on the back that you can place the tooth in and then exchange it out for the money. I think this will be a great little keep sake to have. 

They have one for girls and one for boys if you are interested in gender specifics (I'm not but I did receive the "girly" one. Either way I think they are both adorable!). They also have them in the shape of an owl, monkey, ninja, pirate, and kitty cat. This is available for purchase on Amazon for $15.99

INTENSIVE WRINKLE FREE ANTI AGING EYE CREAM Review


First Botany's wrinkle free anti aging eye cream is perfect if you're a (single) mom like I am and need help hiding your age after your child has helped age you even quicker! I have been using it on and off for a couple of weeks. I have noticed some difference but believe I need to use it more consistently to tell fully.

I love that this company advertises they are cruelty free and do not test on animals. This product is meant to be effective at firming and plumping the skin, quickly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and addressing the issues of puffy eyes and dark circles under eyes.
