Adjusting to First Grade

We have two kids in school, as our youngest isn't even 6 months old yet! Well, I was asked to write a topic about adjusting to each grade, so the first topic I will be doing on that will be adjusting to First Grade as that's the grade our daughter is in.

Happy 7th Birthday to our Daughter!!!

Today is our daughter's 7th birthday!! She had to go to school, but of course we get to go eat lunch with her, so she is excited about that. On Saturday, she had her birthday party with her friends. There were about 7 friends who came, and they had a lot of fun!

Holiday Gift Guide: Rock Board - Skateboards

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from Rock Board in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Do you have a son and/or daughter that loves to play on a skateboard? Well, these are some pretty awesome boards to get!

I am starting my Holiday Gift Guide on the blog, and the first review of my guide is from Rock Board and is some pretty awesome skateboards! They are both Rockboard Radiate skateboards, and I got one for our son in orange and the other one in purple for our daughter. Of course since these are for Christmas presents, they won't see them until then. I know that they will have a lot of fun with them. You can buy these HERE for only $49.99. These will make for a great Christmas present for both a boy and girl! They have a nice variety of colors to choose from as well. Feel free to follow them on Facebook and Twitter!



Our daughter likes to just sit on the one her brother has that is smaller than these by far that he got a year or two ago, but he's starting to want to learn to skateboard, so I thought that they'd enjoy these to learn on. They're really bright as you can see, and are very well made. The wheels on these are great, and look like they will last quite awhile for them. These skateboards are very bright in color, and has a revolutionary LED wiring harness system to every board. The boards in this post are for ages 8 and up. Our daughter is going to be 7, but she will like it just fine I'm sure. Most boys around 7 or 8 love to have fun on a skateboard.

Summer Event 2015: Cloud Pets

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from Cloud Pets in order to facilitate this review for my readers.


I received a Cloud Pets puppy to review, for our daughter. This is a cute little animal and very soft and snuggly. I don't use it for messages or anything like it can be set up to do for kids, she just plays with it sometimes as a stuffed animal. 

Cloud Pets are made to send messages to any Cloud Pet anywhere. They're made to do so by using their free app, which uses Bluetooth technology to send messages. A neat thing about the Cloud Pet is that his or her heart lights up when you have received a message. 

The price of a Cloud Pet is $39.99 each. You can also record and reply to messages right from your Cloud Pet. It has parental controls to ensure safety for your child. The good thing about this pet is that only invited family / friends can leave messages on your child's Cloud Pet. 

The compatible mobile devices for this animal are: 
- All iPhones
- iPad 3 & 4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2
- iPad Mini, iPad Mini 2 & 3
- Samsung Galaxy Note 3
- Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, S5, S6
- HTC One M7, M8
- Moto G 1st Generation
- Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7 (2013), 9

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from Springfield Dolls in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Does your daughter or a little girl in your life love dolls they can dress? Keep reading then.



Our daughter is 6 and is going to be so excited to get this for Christmas, as this is one of her gifts! She received this really pretty doll from Springfield Dolls named Abby, who can be bought by clicking HERE for only $21.99 for an 18 inch doll. Our daughter loves collecting baby dolls, and I'm sure she will love this one just as much! 



The doll is very pretty and needs to be handled with care as with all dolls should be, for little girls to keep for a good while to come. I love the doll's hair and how blonde it is. I also received the gift set below to go with the Abby doll, which includes an outfit to fit the Abby doll that I received for her. You can buy the gift set for only $19.99!


Our daughter's 6th birthday is fast approaching us! It's going to be a FROZEN party!

This post is in no way sponsored, I bought and have already reviewed the products that are pictured in this post. 

Our daughter will be the big 6 in mid October, so we will be having her party right before her actual birthday, as it's during the week. I think that we will both be having lunch with her and I will be making cupcakes for her class and teacher, since it's during the school week, so fun stuff! We won't be able to get the cake that I was really hoping to get, since we're no longer in the same state as the person who makes them, so hopefully Walmart can make one with the sheet of Frozen on it for us.

Zoey's Personalized Gift: Back To School Shirts

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from Zoey's Personalized Gifts in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

I absolutely love to work with Zoey's Personalized Gifts throughout the year for my kids, and these are some awesome shirts that we received for review.



My laptop has been giving me fits over the past month in a half or so with uploading pictures directly from my computer, so I wasn't able to add the picture of my son's adorable shirt for first grade to this post, but the 1st Grade Rules t-shirt he received is a fun one for kids to get! He got it in a  size 10 and the price of it is only $20! It has a ruler on it with his name below it. He absolutely loves wearing it everywhere, especially school. This shirt is made of a very soft material and is easy to wash.

My daughter received the Kindergarten is a Hoot t-shirt for her to wear to school and it's in a size youth small which is for 6-8, and it fits her perfectly. The price of this adorable shirt is only $16.50 on their website. The material that this shirt is made of is very soft and easy to wash. This shirt has a pink owl holding a green apple on it. I love owls and knew my daughter would enjoy this one to add to her t shirt collection. 

Twin XL Zebra Sheets

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from Twin XL in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

My daughter has a twin bed, so even though these are sized Twin XL they fit her bed perfectly! She absolutely loves these sheets and they are so comfortable. 



These are the perfect sheets for moms and kids to have on a twin size bed! The softness of these sheets are great for anyone. My daughter's bed is a basic wooden twin bed that can be a bunk bed, and these sheets fit perfectly on it for her. This set comes with a twin xl fitted sheet, twin xl flat sheet, and one pillow case. I use the pillow case, but she uses the sheets. I love the pillow case, and it's soft too which is nice when it comes to a pillow case. The price of these sheets are $39.99, and are well worth every cent!

Back to School: Fab Kids Outfits and shoes!

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from Fab Kids in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Does your child still need some last minute back to school outfits and / or shoes? Fab Kids has a lot to choose from for their Fall Look Book with 2 for $29.99 deal for the fall season!




My kids are 5 and 6 and even though we  got the majority of their school clothes shopping done, I knew I wanted to work with Fab Kids on a review of a couple of their outfits for my Back to School review for August on my blog. The one that my daughter chose to get is an adorable zebra dress with black leggings, with purple sparkly slip on shoes. She absolutely loves this outfit and wore it to church on Wednesday night! These shoes are clearly her new favorite ones to wear all the time, and they fit her perfectly. She has zebra sheets that pretty much match this dress perfectly. I highly recommend this outfit for your little girl who loves to be in style and loves sparkly shoes as well. The shoes, I asked for separately along with the outfit. They have quite a few shoes to choose from, so it was tough making a decision!


My son is 6 and he is big on trucks, cars, and motorcycles! He found this outfit and had to have it for a school outfit. They both fit him great, even though the jeans are a little big on him; he can simply just wear a belt to keep them from dragging at all. He has grown so much in the past year that he has to have bigger clothes sometimes, just to have some growing room in them, because he has times through the year that he just gets taller fast! He loves his new motorcycle outfit that we received from Fab Kids, and can't wait to wear it to school.

Charm It Bracelet and Charms

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from Charm It in order to facilitate this review for my readers. 

Our review of the Charm-It bracelet we received:
As many of you already know, having a little girl is fun as they get older - they love to play with makeup, wear your jewelry, and now be able to review jewelry! How cool is that? I know my daughter gets excited when I am able to get her things to review, and was very happy when I found the great company named Charm It and was told I could pick one bracelet and up to 5 charms to add onto it. My daughter is 5 years old and loves all things girl, so I knew this would be perfect for her to get for review to wear, and I was right! I was at work on break and she was napping in her class, so I decided to choose which ones I knew she would probably like, so I chose to get her the candy heart bracelet with the charms being: Cinderella heartMinnie MousePink glitter Hello KittyNail Polish, and Princess Crown. They're each priced at only $6 per charm and $16 for the Candy heart bracelet. They're well worth the small price to see the look of thrill on your little girl's face with these cute charms and bracelet!

I love being a mom!

Life as a mom is so rewarding! My son is 6 years old and is in kindergarten this year and has been doing much better with a lot of his learning and such. He is now learning to tell time and we will be buying him his very own clock for his wall soon. They are learning a lot more earlier on now than they did when I was in school.
