Ever wish someone would give an HONEST review of a product, car, or popular vacation spot? Show you the not-so-good parts, instead of just praising the brands and destinations? Yeah, I thought so. It’s what I do on November Sunflower.

I share my honest reviews, the good and the not-good, on products you’re interested in buying!

Heck, I’m still sleeping on my Cocoon by Sealy bed, and loving it. And my unfortunate fail with Cool Sculpting (spoiler alert: didn’t work well for me).

I'm not a big handbag nut, and I can make my pockets work well. However, the Jane bag is probably my favorite piece of my life right now. It carries my camera, iPad, and so much more.... and works as a travel companion when traveling by air.

There's something about designing, and creating your own jewelry. Whenever I took those tests to see what you'd be good at, it was always jewelry maker. Sometimes these types of "toys" are more fun for me, than for the kids. However, this one, the kids really enjoyed. It's nice to make something from nothing, and complete the project so you can wear it. Totally satisfying!

Smartwatch for kids from VTech

By | 2016-08-30T18:58:03-04:00 August 11, 2014|Reviews, Shopping In-store & Online|Comments Off on Smartwatch for kids from VTech

The Boy wanted a watch for years. We got him one last year, he was happy with it. However, when I saw the new Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch I knew he'd fall in love instantly. I was right. He put it on right out of the box, and has only taken it off for showers and pool time. But trust me, if it was waterproof, he'd have it on 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
