One of my favorite perks that an online store can offer is free shipping.  Offer me free shipping – especially free shipping on any order, no minimum purchase – and I’m likely going to buy from you.  Frequently.

I participated in this program on behalf of Champions for Kids and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you’ve heard me mention Champions for Kids and their SIMPLE giving projects.  I’ve participated in a number of their projects in the past, from collecting school supplies, to donating books, to collecting and donating oral care supplies.  It’s fun to take Bubbles with me to pick out items and then relay the concept of giving to her as we do.

Colgate and Champions for Kids SIMPLE Giving Project

Champions for Kids has recently partnered with Colgate to kick off another SIMPLE giving project.  Oral care is such an important thing, and most oral care issues are preventable with the correct regimen.  And because the donations collected through SIMPLE giving projects are distributed in your local community, you know the help you’re providing may be going to help the family right down the street.

I love to watch Bubbles’ creativeness grow as she does.  Her playtime has gotten more complex, as have her building skills.  It’s fun to see the structures she puts together, and then to see the stories she creates around them.

Mega Bloks American Builders Jeep Off-Road Adventures Set #AmericanBuilders

Blocks are some of her favorite, and we spend a lot of time building with them.  So when we recently had the opportunity to review the new Mega Bloks American Builders Jeep Off-Road Adventure set, I was excited to see what she would think about it.  Blocks plus trucks would equal lots of fun for her, I was sure.

I received a sample from KidzCanDesign in exchange for sharing this information with you. All thoughts and words are my own.

If you look at our refrigerator, it’s easy to tell that we have a preschooler.  There are a number of drawings and coloring pages stuck to the front of it, and many others grace the refrigerator at Grammie’s house, too.  She produces them much faster than we can keep up with them, that’s for sure.

As this is my first experience with all the “Mama, I made this for you!” drawings, I have a really hard time throwing any of them away.  What isn’t being displayed has been collected into a box to sort through at a future time.  Many of them I’m sure I’ll hang on to until she’s older, as some of them are really pretty good for a 3-year-old.

This is a sponsored post on behalf of GlobeIn. All thoughts and words are my own.

I’ve mentioned a few times before how much I love subscription boxes.  It might be one of my favorite concepts in recent years.  It’s kind of like buying a grab bag at a sale – you don’t know what’s going to be inside, but you’re excited to find out.

GlobeIn Subscription Boxes Filled with Artisan Crafts

One of the newest subscription boxes that I’ve recently become aware of is GlobeIn.  GlobeIn boxes are filled with unique artisan crafts from all over the world that are then delivered to your door once a month.  Each box contains up to three specially handcrafted items, and you get to pick the category: jewelry, decor, or home accessories.
