Inspiring Women and Young Girls with the Go Girl Shop!


I received these items from Go Girl Shop at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Young girls are very impressionable. I always wonder how my daughter is going to be and how she will handle situations when she is older. Quite honestly, it’s a scary thought. I can and will only do my absolute best to lead her in the right direction, but ultimately it will be her decision to walk that road. That’s why I am excited to partner with Go Girl Shop to bring you this review of their inspiring message.

You are never too young, or too old for that matter, to believe in yourself. Whether it’s something as challenging as starting a business, to just trying to make it through the day (without wanting to pull your hair out). Everyone can use a little pick me up and a reminder that we are all special and unique and have our own individual “girl power.”



When I was browsing the shop and I saw the t-shirt… My Girl Power is Determination, it was like this one was made for me. I am definitely the determined one in my family. I am always coming up with new ideas, plans or projects. This is a great t-shirt to wear when I am feeling like my latest and greatest idea might not be so great, or if I start to fumble over the prospect of making my latest project a reality. Somehow, by putting this on, it does put a boost in my step.

I want this boost for my daughter as well. Sure, she is a little tot right now, but I feel that all our little girls need a good foundation of support under them. The world is a beautiful, but yet sometimes disheartening place. By giving your child a little oomph in the beginning, it will make a more solid foundation that will hopefully lead to less “cracking” in the future.

When I saw the onesies on the Go Girl Shop that said “My Girl Power is Charm” well, that’s my sweetie! Holy cow, she knocks me over with her charm pretty much every day, hehe. It was quite fitting that she rock that onesie.



When the clothing arrived everything was of wonderful quality and just as cute in person. The t-shirt and onesie were really soft and accurate in size, which is really wonderful as a lot of times that is not the case. Be sure to check out all the different women’s, girls, and baby items as well as their accessories. You will be sure to find YOUR Girl Power there.

Timeless Fun with BRIO toys!

I received these items at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Children love to play, learn and explore. Watching them do so is quite the rewarding experience for a parent. Especially when you show them how to do something, and then as quickly as you blink your eyes, they seem to have it all figured out. It always amazes me how fast my daughter understands how to use something new or figure it out all on her own. I am always looking for new ways to expand her mind and it certainly doesn’t hurt if those ways are fun! That’s why I am proud to partner with BRIO and tell you all about their wonderful line of educational, fun and quality toys!

BRIO is a Swedish toy brand that was founded in 1884 (over 130 years ago!) and is represented in over 30 countries! For their amazing longevity in the toy business, it tells a lot about their high quality items and that they are a company that is here to stay! Another really interesting fact is that BRIO has been a Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden since the 1940s! Wow, to think my daughter is playing with toys that the royals play(ed) with is really cool. There even is a “By Appointment To His Majesty The King Of Sweden” printed on the bottom of all their toys. Pretty neat!

I am really excited to tell you about the amazing toys I have had the chance to review with my daughter. We received the Motion Wobbler, High Chair Toy, Horse, and Countryside Horse Set. I love the fact that from 2014, 100% of their wooden toys are made from FSC certified wood. This means that all the wood used at BRIO is traceable and that it originates from responsibly managed forests. It also guarantees that the raw materials do not come from illegal logging sources. I appreciate the fact that BRIO is doing their part to be responsible for a sustainable future and that they are always working to improve their environmental performance. Way to go BRIO!



The Motion Wobbler is a fun little toy that is perfect for ages 6 months and up. No matter how you push it over, it keeps coming back up. My daughter was amazed at this fact. She would even push it over and hold it down, thinking that would surely do the trick. But when she let go and it popped back up, she giggled in surprise! She then picked it up and looked at the bottom of the toy like there was some magic thing underneath that was causing this to happen. There is also a ball at the top that your child can spin and play with. My sweetie loves to play with this toy and randomly tries to push it over during the day. This toy is sure to keep your little one guessing.



The High Chair Toy is another great toy for ages 6 months and up and is perfectly entertaining. I was very pleased to see the sturdy suction cup at the base. My daughter has had two other high chair toys and their suction cups were terrible. Those toys would fall over with any small amount of force and leave me to constantly fix them, but not this one! This one stays put when you want it to, and the tab makes it simple to remove. The adorable painted wooden blocks feature a shape on one side and the other has a picture of another BRIO toy, such as their bumblebee pull along. My daughter loves to point out all the different shapes as she spins the toy, and especially loves the bee design. As soon as she sees it, she stops it and excitedly says… Bee!!! As the toy is spun the wooden blocks lightly hit each other to make a sound. This toy would be perfect for those early feeding days when you child is just starting to try foods and wants to get into everything. My daughter always needed to have her hands busy (and still does a lot of the time) so this high chair toy is the perfect distraction. When her hands were busy, her mouth would open. This would make those feeding times a breeze!

The Horse pull along is adorable and was made in celebration of their 130 years in business! It was inspired by the first toy ever sold by BRIO and is the definition of timeless fun! My sweetheart loves to pull this horse all around the house. Down the hall, around the kitchen table and through the living room. This horse has been everywhere and is certainly getting a lot of love. The craftsmanship is amazing on all of their toys, but something stands out to me about this one. It’s just so cute and with its wooden design it really feels like it will stand the test of time. The wheels glide so nicely and the head bobs up and down when taken for a stroll. The length of the string is actually fitting to this toy. My daughter doesn’t have to bend down to take it for a walk and it’s not so close to her that’s she’s tripping over it. Well thought out design and is a great energy buster for ages 12 months and up.



The Countryside Horse Set (no longer sold - The Animal Farm Set is the closest replacement) is the quintessential toy for imaginative fun! The wooden railway is a smooth ride for the train, which goes up and over rocks and back down to the horse’s shed. The horse can be given a “shower” and you can take it to the train, which actually has a horse transport with a foldout ramp! Too cute! You can even have the person ride the horse and jump over the hurdles and around the trees. The train is remarkably powerful for something of its size and even glides over our area rug when my daughter decides it’s time to go “off-roading”. I can see my daughter’s wheels spinning with all the ideas she wants to explore with this set. Seeing my daughter play with this toy shows me how much she has grown. Even though she isn’t 3 yet (the recommended age), she does remarkably well with all its many features. This will be the perfect toy for her to learn about imaginative play. 1 AA battery is needed for the train.

BRIO makes playtime fun and educational not only for our little ones, but us parents too. Seeing them enjoy learning and figuring out how to use something for the first time, is such a wonderful bonding time for everyone involved. By educating and encouraging our little ones development, they will keep amazing us with their abilities and growth. I look forward to these moments in overflowing amounts!

Dreaming of Pool Time with My Swim Baby by Nicki’s Diapers!


I received these items at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Are you getting excited?! Spring is almost here and that means warmer weather, flowers, and getting ready to say goodbye to our heavy winter coats! Woo hoo! With all of that comes outdoor playtime with our little ones and maybe even a vacation! With this warmer weather on its way, it’s time to start getting into a Spring frame-of-mind. And I am talking bathing suits for our little cuties!

I have partnered with Nicki’s Diapers to bring you their adorable line of swim wear by My Swim Baby! They have a bunch of adorable patterns and prints to choose from that mix and match perfectly. They even have sun hats that match the print on their swim bottoms. How cute!

I had a hard time choosing which print I wanted to get, they are all so sweet. I finally decided on Wilma The Whale and picked out matching swim bottoms and sun hat. I also decided to get the My Swim Baby UV shirt in hot pink. These short sleeve shirts are a brand new item to My Swim Baby’s line and what is really wonderful about them is that they have a UPF of 50+!



When I received the items in the mail, I was very pleased with the quality of the material and the cute print. Everything looked even more adorable in person and the colors all went together perfectly. It looked like I bought this as a set, not picked out all the pieces individually and just hoped they would look good together. They DO look good together!



The sun hat fit my daughter perfectly and will protect her delicate skin from the harsh rays of the sun. A nice feature of the hat is that it is reversible. You have the option of wearing the custom My Swim Baby print or the coordinating solid color. Gotta love options!

The UV shirt also fit my daughter well, and I had no problem deciding on what size, by looking at their sizing chart. The material is 82% Polyester & 18% Elastane. It is recommended to machine wash this in cold water and to line dry. The material is very stretchy and creates a nice amount of coverage to protect my daughter, but still keep her cool.



The swim diaper has an adorable ruffle detail on the backside. Of course, this is only on the girl patterns. There certainly is something so sweet about a little ruffle on the back of my daughter’s bottoms that just makes me melt. So cute! The sizing of the diaper does run a little snug. Obviously, you don’t want there to be a mishap in the pool. I think everyone would agree that wouldn’t be so fun. But the leg holes are a little tight and I had a hard time snapping the waistband closed. Helpful hint: For example, if your child’s weight is on the upper end of a size Medium, I suggest going up to a size Large.

My daughter looks too cute for words in her new swim outfit! Before we know it, the pool will be out and she will be enjoying it in the summer sun. While of course, being protected.

Here you can find some of the best above ground pools which will be safe enough for your kids swimming practice.

Learning and Snuggles with Usborne Books & More { Review & Upcoming Giveaway! }


I received these four Usborne Books at no cost to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

Every child loves to feel special. Whether it’s doing a small act like giving them a hug or some one-on-one time, these moments make a huge impact on your child. The first four years of a child’s life is incredibly important to their personal development. I have read so many times how it is the building blocks to how they are going to be as adults. With spending quality time with my daughter, I hope to give her the best possible start. An important time together is reading. My little sweetheart loves her books and they are the perfect excuse for some snuggles too! That’s why I am so happy to be partnering with Heather, who is an independent consultant, for Usborne Books  & More for this wonderful opportunity!

I love how Usborne Books has almost 2000 titles to choose from. That’s a lot of books… just think of all the quality time! Their books cover a wide range of subjects and they even make activity books, and have internet-linked science and history encyclopedias! Wow! Usborne Books knows how to make learning engaging and fun for our kids!



One of my favorite times during the day is when my daughter picks out a book or two and snuggles up on my lap for a story. Ahh, these are the moments I want to remember forever.

Thanks to Heather I had the pleasure of picking out 4 books from Usborne’s vast catalog. It was a hard thing to do, as there are so many that I would love to have for my daughter. But I narrowed my search down to these 4 adorable books:

Learn Numbers with Little Red Penguin
Baby’s Very First Slide and See Animals
The Zoo
Very First A B C

When the books came I was thrilled at the quality! As soon as I gave them to my daughter, she was delighted. And It’s no surprise that these books have become her go-to choice. She loves the bright colors and engaging nature of these books. Not only are these books fun, but they are educational too! Which makes for a wonderful way to learn.



I love how these books promote interaction. The learning numbers book is so cute! Each page asks a new question, such as… “How many socks can you see? They keep my feet warm!” and then you pull down the flap to reveal the number 2, with two pairs of socks.



Baby’s Very First Slide and See Animals book is also an interactive book. Your child can put their finger in the hole to slide the section back and forth to reveal an action such as a giraffe pulling a leaf off a tree or a monkey swinging on a vine. This fun book has brought my daughter a bunch of smiles and giggles!



The Zoo book encourages your child to participate in the story as each page asks a new question. There are things to spot, count and something out of place in every fun zoo scene. There is so much to look at, your child will find something new each time you read it.



Very First A B C book is such a cute way to introduce your child to the alphabet. This book is illustrated with fun pictures that are sure to delight and entertain your child, all the way from A to Z!

Usborne Books makes quality books that will stand the test of time. They are beautifully illustrated, engaging and fun for both child and parent. Bonding moments are important for you and your little one and it looks like I’ll have many more snuggles in my future too. J
