You heard it here first, I'm training for a marathon! My daughters are the owners of a run club in our hometown, so the rest of our family got roped in to do quite a bit of running as well. As a family we'll be running a marathon at the end of the year, and I've been preparing since October 2022.
I honestly never thought I'd run a marathon since I used to be that person who couldn't believe that people would voluntarily run for fun. However, after seeing numerous TikToks on people running the Boston Marathon and how redeeming the moment was, I told my daughters I'd run a marathon with them. Before finally starting my marathon training, I wanted to make sure that I had the necessary gear. I used that as the moment to spoil myself and got new shoes, athletic clothing, and of course, a watch that could help me track all my activities. Although I am an Apple fan, I have never and will never get an Apple Watch. I am a devout Suunto fan and I always have been (and will continue to be). My very first Suunto watch was the Suunto 3 Fitness, then after my daughter kindly stole that one from me, I got the Suunto 7, and now my newest baby is the Suunto 9 Peak Pro.

Growing up, I didn't particularly enjoy sandwiches; however, I eventually realized that was simply because I didn't like the bread my parents used to buy. Now that I've tried a fair share of bread, I'd have to say my favorite bread is sourdough, but I also do love a simple white bread. The other day my daughter and I were talking about how if we can get a loaf of sourdough at the grocery store for only a few dollars, then the cost to produce one must be relatively cheap as well. That led us to wonder if we could make our own bread. I am no professional baker, so I'm not sure if I was ready to commit to making bread at home, but we learned about the wonderful invention of a bread machine, and decided to test one out ourselves (and we weren't disappointed)!
Every year for Valentine's Day I try to get my daughters a small gift of appreciation. These gifts can range from small stuffed animals to their favorite candy, but nonetheless, my daughters are very grateful for whatever they receive and continue to tell me that I don't need to keep buying stuff for them.
This year, my oldest daughter wanted to take part in the gift giving selection for my youngest daughter, and with the help of MUZEN Audio, we picked out the perfect gift for my music obsessed daughter. BLACK+DECKER Versatile Upright 3-in-1 VacuumI'm sure a lot of you parents have started your back to campus shopping for your children who are going off to college. My daughters are a few years into college, so they already know the basic essentials that they need in their apartments/dorms, with one of those essentials being a vacuum cleaner. You know college kids, they make messes. Maybe not nearly as much mess as a small toddler, but definitely still a significant amount of mess. With that in mind, on my list of dorm essentials would be a vacuum cleaner!
Hi everyone! As some of you may or may not know, I'm a mother of two daughters who are both in college. As they are getting older, they've started to take an interest in helping me out with my blog, so I wanted to introduce a new series. For products that are geared towards teenagers, college students, or just products that I think my daughters will have a better perspective on, they will be helping me out by writing these posts. Now I'll hand this post over to my daughter!
Hello! I'm Krissy, the oldest daughter of the legendary Mommy Review Time! I know my mom has talked about my sister and I many times on this blog, so I'm excited to be able to try out what my mom does. I've also heard a lot of amazing things about all of you lovely people who read my mom's blog! College resumes in a couple weeks, so I have been starting to prep for the upcoming school year with textbooks, school supplies, and the must have cute room accessories! With how technology based this world has become, I could never forget tech accessories, so that's what today's post is about! I love phone cases. I love getting to personalize my phone based on how I'm feeling or to match my outfit. I've had an iPhone 6 for over two years and I've definitely built up quite the collection of phone cases. I have many favorites, but I say my all time favorite are falling glitter cases. I own many glitter cases, but not many simple, single colored cases. I had the chance to review the Anley Phone cases, and these cases were a nice addition to my collection.
