This week is National Poison Prevention Week (March 20th to March 26th, 2016). It is the time when us moms and dads need to take a moment to reevaluate our homes and make sure that we are doing the best job possible in keeping our kids safe from poisons. There are many questions we can ask […]
Comfy Critters is the Gift Moms and Kids Will Love
I received a cute package with Comfy Critters (and some other surprises) for review . Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. I figured they would be nice stuffed animals and the kids might get a kick out of them for a day or so. Little did I know how great Comfy Critters really is! Let […]
