Xo Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Review

I love baking. Probably because i love anything sweet. I can usually bake anything, but for some reason i havent attempted to tackle cookies, i always buy premade cookie dough. On one of my many grocery pickups, walmart gave me a sample of xo chocolate chip cookie mix. I had never heard of this brand before, but to be fair i am not up to date with gluten free lines. Yes thats right, gluten...

Great Value glass and Surface Cleaner Review

Cleaning is a drag. Im not going to sugar coat it. Especially after having Kayden, i cant seem to ever stop cleaning. Counters need to be wiped down, toys need to be picked up, dishes need to be washed etc. It is never ending! I go through cleaning supplies quickly, i dont know what it is, but if it has a nozzle, i am heavy handed. I needed a new glass cleaner a few months ago, and i decided...

BzzAgent This company is available to residents in North America and the UK. They are one of the easiest companies to use. You create...

I saw so many cute things and everyday more and more was getting sold out, so I had...

How we stay connected with a toddler

Hey guys, I will admit, ever since kayden was born it has been hard to get that special one on one time with Curtis. For the first few months ( who am I kidding, it was more like a year) i was sleep deprived.
