Shutterfly Best Gift Ever - Giveaway

It's that time of the year again, spring heading into summer (although you'd never know it with the weather we've been having here!), which also means Mother's Day, Graduation and Father's Day not far behind those.

This year our "other daughter" will be graduating from high school.  It's almost as emotional as it will be when our daughter herself graduates from high school next year.  See our 'other daughter' and ours have been best friends since they were seven years old - they are now 17.  So many of our fondest memories also include her in them.

Our Adventure is Over - Our Luggage Survived! - #BRXtravelgear

I find it hard to believe that I’ve been home for a week from our ‘adventure’ travels to Alaska.  Remember last month I wrote a post about the BRX Travel Gear that I purchased for our trip?

Sea- Bands Review

Just before we went on our Alaskan cruise last month, I was contacted to review a pair of Sea-Bands.  Since we always take Bonine when we go on cruises, I thought this might be a nice change to not have to take pills each day in order to control the 'sea-sick' effect.  The company was kind enough to send a pair for each family member, which was a neat way to test the effectiveness of them on different levels of nausea susceptibility.  So let me tell you how they did!

Adventure Gear for Adventure Travels - #BRXtravelgear

I’m so excited – my trip is coming up soon, and I already started my packing list. But in order to pack I need something to pack all my stuff IN! Because we’re not just heading to Alaska, but also spending some time in Vancouver, BC with family for a few days prior to our trip, taking only carry-on luggage for our trip isn’t going to work. But with only one large old suitcase to pack things in, what’s a family to do?
