I’m a huge fan of LYSOL products. I have been using them ever since I moved out of my parents house. I trust the brand. My mom always used LYSOL. I never questioned it, I just picked the same products she trusted. Now I have small children and children in school here all year around. [...]

It’s back to school for many and that means that we have to prepare for the unexpected moments. The things that may happen at school. In my last post I talked about making a little back to school pack for my daughter to keep at school. We filled it with products such as the U [...]
Polly Pocket has been around for years. It’s been a while since I have seen the original smaller sets. While I LOVED the portability of the smaller sets, the pieces and the figures always scared me. They were so little. I will never forget the time I was babysitting and the little one I was [...]
As the summer winds down and comes to an end and back to school is very much in the near future for us (some have already started), it’s time for me to prepare my daughter in case that moment of her first period arrives at school. While I would ideally LOVE to be around, this [...]
