Every summer I am always hunting for the perfect sandals for my daughter feet. She's at that age where she can grow 2 shoe sizes overnight. Or at least it feels like that. So when I was offered a chance to try out the Gold Pigeon 9165 Girl's Easy Magnetic Closure Outdoor/Water Sandal in exchange for my honest and unbiased review I quickly agreed. Now I had the hard part. I had to decide what size to buy for my daughter ever growing feet. To be safe I went with a size 13 even though she is ...
Encourage Individuality
Well Peyton has taken to dressing herself in the morning! These last few month's her individuality is really shining through. And I try to encourage it as much as possible. I think it's wonderful she likes to be unique. She likes to mix patterns and colors. I want her to be herself and dress the way she thinks is fun and funky. But the other morning she took it to a new level. She found a wig I was sent to review and she really latched on to it. For some reason she was drawn to it. She LOVED ...
Achieve Beautiful Hair with Pura D’or
v I am always trying to find a shampoo and conditioner that will work well with my wavy hair and my daughters curly hair. We have a smallish bathroom so having numerous types of shampoos and conditioners lying about is not going to work. When I was offered the opportunity to try out the Pura D'or Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion I agreed. I was really curious to see how my hair as well as my daughter's hair would react. When the Pura D'or ...
Let’s Change That! If Animals Can, We Can, Too!
We are big readers in our house. Peyton has so many books we are looking at getting a THIRD bookshelf! But I don't mind. I much rather she be reading a book or have a book read to her than watching tv or playing with an electronic device. So when I was asked if I would like to review a new children's book, "Let's Change That! If Animals Can, We Can Too!" of course I said yes. I didn't even know what it was about just that it was a kids book and that's all I needed to know. When Let's ...
The Compassion Experience – Reuben
Now we were on to our last tour, Reuben. My daughter really seemed to have some revelations while we were learning about his story. Maybe because he said his age at one point during the story and he was only a year older than her. She really seemed to notice how much more he had to do and how much less he had than she does. When we enter Reuben's world we entered into a room where his drunk father was sleeping. Right away we knew he came from an abusive home. His mother took him and his ...
The Compassion Experience – Brinda
Once we done with listening to Julia's life we went back to get in line to listen to Brinda's story. Another young girl, living in a different country, experiencing things a small child never should. I was not sure what my daughter was thinking at this point but I figured we would discuss her feelings and thoughts once we had gone through the whole experience. So we took our iPods and entered Brinda's door. Brinda lived with her sister's and mother in a very scary neighborhood. I ...
