This post has been sponsored by Best Buy. All opinions are my own. My family's favorite place to hang out at home is outside. We enjoy the outdoors wherever we are, it seems. Whether it's camping, at the beach, or even at home. On our most recent beach trip we were so excited to find an outdoor sitting area in our beach rental with a television and the girls fell in love with it - and I have to admit, so did I! I started wondering if it would be possible to create such an outdoor space like that at home and it turns out - it's way easier, and more affordable, than I originally thought. After a little digging, I found these great options at Best Buy. The SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro). It … [Read more...]
DIY Yogurt Parfait Bar for an Easy Family Breakfast

This post is sponsored by Greek Gods but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Breakfast is hard, y'all. Does anyone else struggle with making one of the most important meals of the day with time to spare on weekday mornings? I love make ahead breakfast ideas, and sometimes I totally succeed at them, but other mornings are rushed and I just come up empty handed. But one thing we always have in the refrigerator is fresh fruit. My girls are fruit-obsessed and easily go through a container of strawberries and blueberries a day! So I always have some on hand, which had me thinking how I could serve fruit more in the mornings. On my most recent shopping trip to Walmart, I found a new-to-me brand of yogurt that I couldn't wait to try. I found Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt in the lower, refrigerated bottom well of the … [Read more...]
Drive Safer with Uniden R7 Radar at Best Buy

There's nothing more important to me than my family's safety. I'm sure you can agree with that statement too, especially if you're a parent! And there's nowhere that I feel the need to be more safe than in the car. I think I've always had a bit of car anxiety. It's not that I'm a bad driver or my husband is, but it's my worry about all the other cars on the road. I have to give up that control and hope that they're paying attention and driving safely. So my anxiety levels when I'm in the car are always a bit high. With that said, that's one reason why I can see the great value in this Uniden R7 Radar. While I really am a safe driver [not trying to jinx myself here] with a great record, I get distracted and most of the time it's from my anxiety of worrying about being safe... ironic, no?! The Uniden R7 radar tracks up … [Read more...]

Founded in 1915, Federal Process Corporation began with just one product - Gasoila (pronounced Gas-oil-ah) Hard Set Sealant. In 1994, a product was created for the industrial business to remove sealant, now known as Tub O' Towels. However, once it was discovered that this strong wipe had thousands of uses outside of the industrial space, it was introduced to the retail market in 2011.

Our Farmhouse Kitchen Renovation + DIY Kitchen Island
This post may contain affiliate links where I earn a small commission from your purchase. See full disclosure for details.
Over the past summer and fall of last year I was really busy... really busy. We moved into our home just about four years ago and have been slowly making changes to suit our family better. While I feel like we've done quite a bit, we definitely did our biggest project last year. Two of the rooms we spend most our time in were, in fact, my least favorite rooms of the house. That doesn't make sense, right? That's why I was determined to renovate it and make it our own space. Before Pictures of Our Kitchen and Dining Room I had a conversation with a friend that went something like this. "I love the farmhouse look, but everyone's doing it. I don't want to be like everyone." She replied, "Lindsey, you LIVE in a farmhouse. Your home was built in the 1920s and it is the ultimate farmhouse, so do it if you want to do it." I … [Read more...]

Meet ibi – Where Your Pictures are Saved, Organized, and Shared

This post was sponsored by the makers of ibi as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. The makers of ibi sent me this for free. All opinions expressed in my post are my own. Perhaps it's the blogger in me, or perhaps it's just the forgetful Mom in me, but I never print photographs. I used to when Sophia was little, but once Moreaya was born, it seems like printing photos was a thing of the past. It's a shame too, because the girls love to look back at old pictures of themselves when they were babies. Oh my heart! Sure we have a few baby books that they look at, but they really love watching old videos. And we do have them, but they're stored somewhere on some old CD's or an old hard drive, well, I don't know exactly where they are, but my husband says we have them. But wouldn't it be great if there was … [Read more...]
