This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kroger® Private Selection®. All opinions are 100% mine.

Note: I received a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC to test drive around town for one week in order to facilitate my honest review. No monetary compensation was received and all opinions are my own. If you’ve read any of my previous car reviews before, you’ll know that I am not a car expert. […]
I was given a 2013 Kia Rio 5-door (SX) to test drive for one week. No monetary compensation was received and all thoughts are my own. I like to start off each of my car review posts with an additional disclaimer: I am not an expert on cars. I don’t fully understand what a […]

The cold weather may not be completely gone for the season, but there has been enough Spring-like sunshine, warm rain, and blossoming trees and flowers to serve as a sign that Spring is officially here. Like many others, I feel an urge to clean my house in the Spring. After months of having the windows […]
I was reading Mom Spark the other day and came across a fun post: Coffee Mugs that Tell a Story. After reading Amy’s post, I walked to my kitchen, found my 6 favorite mugs, set them out on the kitchen table, and started taking pictures with my new iPhone. My kids apparently thought I had […]
