Thank you to Masami for sending me product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own. 

I have always looked up to those who use a “no-poo” method for their hair. My hair is on the thinner side and whenever I tried to go no-poo, the detox period seemed to never end and I was met with an incredibly itchy irritated scalp that was beyond a manageable grease level. So instead I decide to use natural shampoos and so often my hair is clean, but I long for the salon feel of my hair.

Thank you goes out to TruHugs for sending me product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to me. 

You’ve most likely heard of weighted blankets, but you might be wondering what the purpose of sleeping with one is. I had heard they could help with stress and sensory issues and who couldn’t use a little help dealing with stress? Something you might not know about weighted blankets is that they provide deep touch pressure stimulation.

Thank you goes to Loog for sending me product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own. 

My son has been pretty interested in music from a very young age. I’m not sure if his love for music is due to his dad always playing music around him or if it’s just passed on through his genetics. We tried a violin class when he was younger and while he really enjoyed it we didn’t know anything about violin which made practicing with him more difficult.

From the time I had my first baby 8 years ago I was always making sure that the product I used on him were natural. I started with Pampers sensitive brand and when I found something more natural I kept switching. For the first year I used water wipes with my youngest. On Amazon I could get Water Wipes for about $.22 per wipe, now that doesn’t sound like a lot but when you add them up it got to be pretty pricey per month specially with three kiddos using them for number two visits!

Thank you to Krankz for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions are my own. 

My husband spends a lot of time interacting with music, from making it to listening to it. As most know high quality microphones are needed to record music but it’s just as important to be able to really hear and feel the beats you’re laying down while recording as well.

In the past when making music my husband used to just use the computers speakers, and while they will do the job they don’t do it nearly as well as the Krankz headphones I recently received.

Use an eyeshadow similar to your hair color to fill in your hair line.

So maybe some of you know, maybe some don’t but I recently became a business owner! It sounds so weird even saying it, well typing it here. Starting a business is something I never imagined myself doing and honestly just because it was something I’d never done before. I was afraid to do something wrong the whole time and still am! But I realized having supportive friends who had already owned their own business has been crucial and I thought not everyone has this so I would share 4 tips to starting a business that I felt crucial.

My mom always went out of her way to make birthdays special when I was growing up. I never got to have a birthday during school because it was always spring break. My family always made sure to go the extra mile to make sure I knew how important I was on that day of celebration. I have continued that tradition within my own family and have added onto it as well! Here are the extra special things we do in our house to make our three kids feel special on their day.

My husband and I try to practice as much minimalism as possible. We are nowhere near perfection and we still have more things than we’d like to, but like everything else in life minimalism is a journey for us. We feel it’s really important to teach our kids a more minimalist lifestyle at a young age and keep it in our conversation often especially around holidays and birthdays. So how do we do that?

Every year before each major gift holiday, whether that’s a birthday or Christmas we go through all of our toys bins thoroughly and get rid of all the toys that might be broken, the toys that are never played with or toys with missing forever pieces.

There is no better way to start off the Holiday season than with a show put on by Cirque Dreams Holidaze. Enter into a world that feels almost infinitely looped within the Holiday season.

My kiddos may or may not have a deep love for their winter boots. I mean really when you’re wearing Bogs boots what’s not to love? My kids love that their winter boots also double as fall and spring rain boots that are perfect for mud puddle jumping and splashing.

This year I opted for a more winter style boot for my kids aged 8 and 5 as I knew that they would be out in the actual snow more often and for longer periods of time than in previous years.

Great Danes are such absolutely beautiful dogs. Their size is so well coupled with their gentle nature. Unfortunately often times it’s that amazing size that can potentially lead to their death. Because Danes are so big and have such deep chests they often times uffer from bloat. Bloat occurs when the stomach flips and twists and results in the restricted circulation of the digestive organs and eventually the death of those organs if not treated soon enough.

Great for apartment living.
Now I don’t personally live in an apartment but my house as I’ve discussed before is small. Great Danes aren’t high energy dogs so they do great in smaller spaces with only so much as a walk a day.

Yard work can be something that we dread or something that we enjoy. I think a huge part of whether we enjoy the work or not has a lot to do with the tools used.

When I had my first baby seven years ago, I was so excited to decorate the baby room. We lived in an apartment at the time so decor was quite limited. I wasn’t allowed to paint or hang shelves.

It has been a while since an update with me and my little family! Little Link is doing amazing, almost a year old now believe it or not. He is standing and walking with furniture support. He is eating or rather I should say trying lots of foods. We practice baby led weaning which entails waiting for baby to truly be ready for real whole foods like steamed broccoli, carrots and more. I love following this method as I never have to mess with puree’s or baby food in general.

My husband and I have been floor sleeping for about two months. I first found out and considered floor sleeping after reading articles regarding the incredibly toxic materials most mattress are made out of. Not only are these chemicals toxic for your health but they are also non bonded. Non bonded chemicals mean that every time you touch or bump or move on the mattress these toxic chemicals are released into your breathing air.

Seeing those cute bras over and over and then comparing them to my current nursing bras can be a  bummer sometimes, especially when I know that I’ll be nursing for a minimum of another year. So I decided that I would convert all those cute bras to nursing bras!

Thank you to Raw Spice Bar for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. 

When my family switched to a whole food plant based vegan diet we were able to realize that meat was not providing a lot of the flavor in our dishes. We found that it was actually the spices within the dish that really made the dish stand out or fall short.

Thank you to Storkcraft for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. 

My family lives in a relatively smaller home. All five (six if you count the dog) share about 780 finished square feet. When you share that tight of a space you have to get pretty creative in every aspect of your home from storage to sleeping arrangements and everything in between. My two oldest kids share a bedroom and there are times when that space is just too small for the both of them.

My husband was a kid who’s parents were able to take him out skiing as a child. He was able to ski slopes, snow tube down hills and so much more winter fun. As one of four siblings he often had to wear hand me downs from his older sisters. While this worked he never had any snow gear that felt like his style.

Thank you to Marley and Spoon for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own! 

I love food, but lately I’ve been stuck in the dinner rut. We get into the habit of eating the same old meals time after time until I can’t stand to even think of them. With no time to research the best meals on Pinterest, I’m left with no new or tasty dinner options  to shop for.

Thank you to JambuKD for providing me with product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. 

Lets be real, shoes for kids can get expensive. Children grow out of shoes so quickly that it can seem like you’re buying them constantly especially if you have more than one child! Making sure you buy quality shoes can make that purchase a little easier as you know the shoes will last longer and be better for their little feet.

Thank you to The Magic Of My Name for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself. 

My children love reading together. My husband and I love reading to them as we know the benefits of hearing and seeing words frequently. Another perfect reason to sit and read with little ones is its great time spent together and theres no extra energy needed to sit and read unlike some other forms of play and time together.

Thank you to Bamboobies for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. 

As I have mentioned in the past, I went 4 years of breastfeeding without ever owning any breastfeeding specific clothing. I had so many stretched out neck holes on my regular shirts that I wasn’t able to wear them after I was done nursing. Often times I would get a plugged duct due to stretching a sports bra up over or down around my breast.

Thank you to KNOW Foods for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. 

Cutting out certain favorite or go to meals makes dieting so much harder. You forget to get groceries and you land back in the same routine of the old unhealthy meals and you remember how much you missed them. Finding great healthy supplements is where I believe the key is!

KNOW Foods offers paleo friendly substitutes to so many non paleo foods.

I should start off with an explanation of what Doula means.

dou·la

ˈdo͞olə/

noun

  1. a woman who is trained to assist another woman during childbirth and who may provide support to the family after the baby is born.

Honestly it’s hard to know where to start. I’ve known my Doula Deb for seven years. So many cheers, victories, sad moments and more have been shared through that seven years.
