Have you ever heard of Mix.com? Or wondered how to use Mix? Yeah, yeah, I know you’re probably already on social media overload and not looking for something else but hear me out – I think Mix is better than Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter. Here’s why: Why Mix is better than Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter […] Read more…
Have you tried a bunch of at home date nights and are looking to change things up a bit? A while ago I stumbled upon Hunt A Killer, who offer murder mystery at home boxes and, seriously, I think they are a really great discovery and I need to spread the word about them more! […] Read more…
Last year, I bought the best folding push pull wagon for kids I could find. I wrote a blog post all about it and about my years-long search to find the perfect wagon. The company that made the wagon (Custom Folding Wagons) found my review and in thanks, gave me a discount code for my […] Read more…
Looking for 2019 advent calendars for kids or the whole family? Every year I’m like “We should do an advent calendar this year!” And every year I get distracted or busy or I start feeling cheap and we don’t. But somehow this time of year I always end up researching them (because overresearching is my […] Read more…
Despite my occasional social media commiseration about how I’ve largely been ignoring my kids this summer in order to get this script finished – I haven’t actually completely ignored them. One cool thing I got to try out and do was this TinkerActive educational workbooks review. I’m kind of a nerd when it comes to […] Read more…
I’ve been slowly working on this coolest homeschool resources post for months! It’s apparently turning to to be much larger of a post than I originally thought. Sigh. Anyways – you might know that I homeschool my daughter. Next year my son as well. I’m not really a ‘homeschooling blog’, nor do I really consider […] Read more…
Just a quick, picture-heavy post to highlight my 2019 garden. Back in January, I posted this on Instagram: View this post on Instagram So many projects, so little time. There’s writing, blogging, moming…and now that last week’s rain is gone – […] Read more…
I discovered the chart system on Amazon a few years back. It looked awesome, but it was also expensive, and so I hesitated to buy it at first. But I eventually caved and I’m really glad I did. Yes, I bought this with my own money. This review is not sponsored (other than them providing the giveaway product). All words and opinions are my own. ? Read more…
I want to begin by stressing that I have ZERO plans of turning into one of those blogs that try to convince other people to become bloggers and then sell them on a bunch of high-priced courses. There’s so many of those blogs out there in the world. I’m NOT one of them. However, I […] Read more…
While I also cover heavier marriage issues in my blog, this post deals with something a bit lighter, but still very important to the success of marriage relationships: Spending Quality Time Together, aka Date Night.
If you’re in a rut of trying to come up with ideas for date nights, or if you don’t really have time for date nights, or you don’t want to spend the money to hire a babysitter, these at home date night subscription boxes take care of most of the work for you. Read more…
I’ve said this before, but the best part of doing these date night box reviews is that they FORCE KP and I to spend concentrated, focused time together. That probably sounds pathetic, right? Here I blog all about marriage all the time and I don’t even have these awesome regular connection times with my own […] Read more…
2019 update – I’m doing a giveaway for this best folding push pull wagon! Check out the giveaway HERE! Ends 12/2! This is a short and sweet little blog post, basically because I’m in love with my new wagon and I figure I should write a blog post about it. Afterall, when I was searching […] Read more…
I haven’t done one of these Ronni Recommends posts in awhile, and I figured I might as well. No, it’s not about marriage. Or family. I guess it’s about momhood, ok? It still makes sense why I’m posting about this, ok? Moms get muscle tension too and need products for upper back pain. 🙂 You […] Read more…
This month though – I had a surprise for them. Not only did I get a date night box for their dad and I to do, but I also got a box for the KIDS and I to do together!
Crated With Love (one of my most favorite date night subscription box options) recently teamed up with a company called WeCraft to offer what they’re calling their “Staycation” package. For $50 you get BOTH subscription boxes – a Subscription Box Staycation ….aaand….wait for it…you ALSO get $20 in gift vouchers toward the two companies to use for future boxes! I do a cost breakdown at the bottom of this post so you can see how awesome of a deal this is. In the meantime, check out all the fun we had on our ‘subscription box staycation’: Read more…
Ok, sorry to be an annoyingly-over-excited-about all-the-things blogger here for a moment – you know I now strive for authenticity and honestly in everything I write – but I actually am excited about doing this ThredUp Goody Box review post.
If you’ve been around while, you’ve seen me post ThredUp reviews before. It’s pretty much where I buy most of my clothes.
a) I like being sustainable and reusing instead of buying new.
b) I like saving money.
c) I’m totally fine not being at the super tiptop of fashion.
So ThredUp’s “secondhand” clothes are absolutely a perfect fit for me. Read more…
Before I get to this Date Night In box review, I have a confession: every time I hear the song Easy Like Sunday Morning by The Commodores, I think of the movie Baby Driver. If you haven’t seen Baby Driver, I highly recommend. It’s not just a bank heist/car chase movie, it’s got a magical score and every cut is spot on. For real. Here, watch this 6-min opening clip on youtube. You’ll be hooked. Even if you don’t typically like action films (which I usually don’t either). You might even end up buying the soundtrack too.
Sorry, going off on a tangent here. Back to my Easy Like Sunday Morning Date Night In Box Review! Read more…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays!
Either way – I’m doing a giveaway!
Wait, no, I’m doing TWO giveaways!!
I have referral credit to use up, and who better to use that credit on than one two of YOU, my readers? These boxes make an excellent Christmas/Holiday present for your relationship in the coming year. While this giveaway is for the date night subscription box company Datebox, there are quite a few other awesome at home night night box companies and I encourage you to check them out to find one that’s a perfect fit for your relationship!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a giveaway, so it’s time for another one!
DateBox Club has offered to give away one of their September date night boxes to one of my readers…and that reader might just be YOU. 🙂
Though I think I’ve only written up 1 “official” review (hmm…that probably needs to change soon), KP and I have actually done a few of the DateBox Club boxes and really enjoy them. If you’re not familiar with DateBox Club, you can: Read more…
Hey – I might be about to go into labor (fingers crossed for any day now! …though I’m realistically not due for another week or two, but still…I can hope…), but KP and I still find time for at-home date nights. Crated With Love again to the rescue! And let’s be honest, I highly doubt we’ll be getting out anytime soon after the birth for an out-of-the-house date night. So really – Crated With Love to the rescue! 🙂
April’s Crated With Love box theme was “I Love the 80s!” Read more…
Not sure if you should purchase the 2017 Ultimate Homemaking Bundle? You’ve come to the right place!
FIRST – be sure to go over all the nothing-but-the-truth overall Ultimate Bundle FAQs.
SECOND – scroll down for my super thorough 2017 Ultimate Homemaking Bundle review below…as well as some suggestions of what to buy instead if you end up deciding that the bundle’s not for you this time around. Read more…
So a blogger you follow is raving about this “Ultimate Bundle” thing. But you’re skeptical (and as you should be! Good for you, using discernment before jumping on bandwagons!) and you searched “ultimate homemaking/ healthy living/ essential oil/ photography/ whatever bundle reviews” or perhaps just “ultimate bundles review” and ended up here.
If so, welcome! – you’ve landed at the right place. Before becoming a blogger myself, I too saw these bundles and wondered what they were all about. I’m here to give you my honest-to-goodness lowdown on these bundles. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Read more…
