When the summer sun is at its worst, this Southern girl loves to sip a tall, refreshing glass of iced tea.  Lipton is an iced tea brand that I've been enjoying for as long as I can remember, and now they've made it possible to take that delicious flavor along no matter where your summer days may take you.

Lipton Tea & Honey is a unique line of iced tea mixes that is sweetened with honey and made from real tea leaves and fruit flavors.  The best thing is, it's only 5 calories per 8 oz. serving!  Lipton Tea & Honey is available in 6 delicious flavors in single to-go packs and 4 flavor varieties in pitcher packs.

Has this ever happened to you?  Your little one bounding out of bed at 6 am on a Saturday morning when the entire family normally sleeps in until at least 8 am.  How about at nap time, when they've been in their rooms for about 20 minutes and then begin clamoring that nap time is over and they're ready to come back into the living room and play?  In my house, this behavior is actually the norm, which can be very frustrating.

Young children just don't have any concept of time yet and so it's not their fault when they don't adhere to a sleep schedule.  Unfortunately, they don't realize that they haven't had the proper amount of rest...until it's too late and they are in the midst of an extremely "bad day".

So how you can clue a child in on when they should wake up and when they need to go back to sleep?  Well, thankfully White Dove Innovations has created a novel solution that's easy to learn and extremely fun too!  It's the My Tot Clock and I had the chance to review this with my little early riser.  Keep reading to learn more!

My daughter is growing up so fast...and loving every minute of it.  It seems like just yesterday I was rocking her in my arms and then putting her down to sleep in her crib.  Now that she's in a bed of her own, I realize that she needs certain furniture essentials which match her new "big girl" room.

Of course, because she is still a young child, whatever furniture goes in her bedroom has to be well made so as to stand up to her typical kid behavior.  I don't want to purchase items which will look good for a few months or years, but before long, will break or need to be replaced because of their poor quality.  Thankfully, NE Kids is a furniture manufacturer with kids in mind.  They make extremely high quality children's furniture which stands the test of time and adheres to the highest levels of safety.  Keep reading to learn more!

Board games, card games and the like are some of the easiest and least expensive ways to experience real quality time with your friends and family.  Some of my most favorite memories have occurred while playing games of all kinds with the ones I love.  Calliope Games is the creator of several family games, such as Double Dominoes and Tsuro.

Since summer is here and the kiddos are out of school, what better way to enjoy some quality family time than with a hilariously fun board game?  Well, keep reading to find out my take on the award-winning Got 'Em! board game from Calliope Games!

If you happen to be a shoe maven like myself (and honestly, don't we all love shoes?), I wanted to alert you to a fabulously trendy line that I had previously been completely unaware of, called Luichiny.  I typically dress fairly conservatively these days and haven't purchased many "get me noticed" pairs of shoes since my daughter Riley was born.

But once I started browsing the large selection of amazing Luichiny sandals on the Demand Shoes site, I was impressed.  They offer plenty of fashionable choices any woman would love and promise to banish the frumpy mom image forever.  As a matter of fact, I found some of the coolest platform sandals I've ever seen there.  Keep reading to see them for yourself!

My daughter, Riley, just can't wait each day for bath time.  In the bathtub, she gets to have bubble bath and toys galore as well as splish and splash around to her heart's content.

Unfortunately though, it's hard to find good bath toys which capture her imagination for long.  After just a week or two, Riley often gets bored with the bath toys she has and reverts to trying to bring all new "non-bath" toys into the tub with her.  That's why I was happy to learn of the WaterBlocks bath toys from Just Think Toys.  They allowed Riley and I to review the 17-piece Coast Guard Set for all-new tub time adventures.  Keep reading to learn more!
