Summer time means more time out and about, as well as at home.  If you are looking for something to get the kids offline and engaged, think about Snap Ships!   We were sent a couple to review and both kids love them!    FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this rev iew were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Like I said - we were sent Snap Ships for review and both kids love them!  I love that they both enjoy it, although they have years between them. I know lots of kids enjoy time online... and don't get me wrong, mind do too!  It is nice to find a toy that keeps them engaged and watch their face light up while playing.  With all that 2020 brought us, I wanted to make sure to share the new Snap Ships that were released in 2021.  (See Press Release...

 On Wednesday nights, we go to church.  The kids go to youth classes and I am in a connect group with other adults.  Now that summer is here, they still have a youth program, but the adult class I was in has ended.  No need to worry, I have started taking that time they are in their program to have time for me... Up first?  Back to a love of mine.. reading!  I was sent the book Broken and Beautiful for review and I have enjoyed having the time to read it and spend time alone, embracing all that He has planned for me.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this rev iew were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

 So, today is July 4th and most people are out celebrating, me?  I am sitting at home planning our trip to Biloxi.  We go each summer, but didn't get to go last year, obviously.  We are headed out soon and we are all looking forward to it.  It cracks me up when people hear I am taking the kids to Biloxi, but they are always surprised to know there is fun for the kids too!  FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this rev iew were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

A few years ago, Margaritaville opened in Biloxi and since then, we have added that as a must stop for our trip!  We absolutely love going there!  Once you arrive, they have a nice parking area.  You can choose to valet, or self park.  You head on inside and go up the escalator.  T...

Bringing back and oldie but goodie from back in 2017 to share since I know there are kids that will be heading off to college soon.  I know back when I was in college, we were not allowed to have candles in our dorm rooms.  (Not sure if that is still true these days, but in the old days, that was the case!)   As much as I love candles, it really isn't always a good thing to have around.   Keep Happy Wax in mind if that is true with you!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.
