Nerf Rebelle Review | Heartbreaker Bow Phoenix

Here's some cool news:  Nerf just made being a girl even more awesome! I had the coolest experience ever this week. My daughter turned 8 yesterday. As timing would have it - I also received the Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow Phoenix to review because I'm a Bzzagent and that's what we do! So I saved this toy heartbreaker bow for her party, as a gift-  that we held on Sunday. Now two things to understand: 1. My daughter is GIRLY GIRL.  2. She is obsessed with cute kitties. So how did this Nerf Crossbow fare in a girly girl...

Vero Beach, Florida | Surf Club Hotel - Review

In April of this year, my husband and I just wanted to get away from it all. Where do you get away when you live in the vacation state? Grab the kids. Bring the little dog. and wake up ON the beach. Seems like it might be easy to do in Florida, but it's really not. There are so many hotels, so many websites, and it can be very overwhelming. If you don't have a recommendation, or a lead or a "connection" with a great property you can easily be disappointed. So I decided to Google Pet Friendly Florida...

Today in History | Sanuk Review | Floridian Foot wear

Below is a previous review post I wrote from 2010 When I went to San Diego, California in July 2010, I saw these sandals with my own eyeballs for the first time. Although, they are sold all over South Florida....I had never noticed. I saw them first on a guy, my husband's uncle to be exact and I had asked him...."So are you wearing you're slippers to the beach?" And he said, "No Way these are Sanuk's. I went home and started googling. From there the excitement of these Sanuk Sandals began for me. I was really excited to find...

Florida Life | Bounce House's | Lakeland Moonwalk

We happen to live in a boomin' area with lots of choices when it comes to Bounce House Rentals. HOWEVER, I strongly urge you to call LAKELAND MOONWALK if you are in the POLK County Florida area, or perhaps Tampa Bay! They have a very large selection, and the owner and team running the company are really great people! This is our bounce house from last year! Dubbed "The Strawberry Bounce House" by my little ladies.  We have over an acre of land and it looked awesome in the yard. It was absolutely huge, held all 17+ kids comfortably...

Florida Life: Beating the heat

Bad Mom Alert: I have not forced my kids to play outside ONCE this summer!  It's so hott. and we live in the country, without a pool ...away from the coast so it's even HOTTER! Ways to beat the heat:  I'm not sure, we're indoors! Normally we do everything we have to do in the morning before it gets really hott outside. Florida heat in the summer is no joke, so make sure you bring, and drink LOTS OF WATER when doing anything outdoors. We went to Disney world in 2010, in AUGUST. I have never been more...

Legoland Florida: World of Chima

I had the opportunity to attend the media event put on by Legoland today, 7/2 with a Magazine affiliation. I got to listen and be in the presence of really great marketing people from Lego, Cartoon Network, and Legoland. We also got to ride the new ride. The ride is an interactive family-friendly water ride, called the “Quest for CHI”.  My 4 year old and 7 year old daughters were happy to oblige and try it out. Thankfully, ponchos were available because you can really get SOAKED! My 7 year old was even quoted on the news saying...

Florida Life: Neutrogena | Beach Defense™ Sunscreen Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 70

96* degrees 94* degrees 92* degrees These are the temperatures from the last few days here in sunny Florida. (rainy afternoons) Truth: We are constantly putting on sunscreen. Sometimes to even go SHOPPING! #floridalifeproblems I know, you feel bad! Well the good news is, Neutrogena sent me this sunscreen to review and I have to say, I'm not a fan of "creamy" lotions anymore because the sprays are just so much easier to use. But I haven't taken this bottle of sunscreen OUT of my car/purse/bag that I use daily because it REALLY WORKS. It takes a little bit...
