Some days, I end up feeling like I'm in a meal time rut.  Just cooking the same things over and over, with little variety.  So because of that, I'm always on the hunt for new recipes.   Just recently, a health conscious friend of mine shared her {Dairy Free, Gluten Free} Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe.  She's super healthy, offers classes at the local gym, and even teaches healthy eating workshops.  So I thought we'd give it a try.  Half the family was down with some sort of bug but the ones Read more [...]

I was sent products from BFF's Best Furry Friends line for review. All opinions are my own. My niece Kelsie turned 5 today! I know it's cliche to say as a family member, but I really can't believe she's 5 already, it just blows my mind that it's been that long since she was born. She is in preschool and has a personality that is larger than life. Although her real birthday is today, her party was last weekend. I got her BFF's - Best Furry Friends, for her birthday! Although she doesn't have Read more [...]

Thank you to Vermont Village for providing me with products to facilitate my blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Many people, myself included dring apple cider vinegar for its health benefits. However, after a while, drinking apple cider vinegar plain can get a little boring. It was in my quest for a flavored apple cider vinegar drink that I found Vermont Village. Vermont Village offers their customers a line of flavored Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Shots. They offer their Organic Apple Read more [...]

I have partnered with Wubble on this blog post, and was compensated. All opinions are my own. If you aren't familiar with the Wubble Ball brand, it's fair to say you're missing out, I think! They make a variety of unique and interesting toys. For example, in the past I've shared the Super Wubble bubble ball with you, which looks like a gigantic bubble, but is durable even when squeezed and bounced. I later shared the Water Wubbles with you, which are almost like reusable water balloons! Today Read more [...]

I received a pair of the Adult Ballerine Flats from Soft Star Shoes to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. I love shoes.  While my husband would tell you I have too many, he'd say that about anyone who owns more than three pairs.  I have about ten to fifteen pairs so that's over his limit.  However, I tend to stick to the same ones each day during any particular season.  But one thing has been lacking in my shoe options.   I've been wanting a beautiful pair of sleek ballerina flats Read more [...]

This blog post is a partnership with Nakturnal. All opinions are my own. I've always been a bit jealous of people who move several times in their lives. There is only so much you can learn about a place from a quick visit. If you're considering a move, why not move to Cincinnati? I can't think of a good reason not to. It's a beautiful city with many attractive features. Here are 5 reasons to move to Cincinnati! It's gorgeous! Cincinnati is sometimes referred to as the "Paris of America" Read more [...]

Thank you to WishGarden Herbs for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions belong to myself.  Throughout my entire pregnancy I was taking herbal tinctures recommended by my midwife. I took things like red raspberry leaf to help with uterine health and nettle leaf as well as alfalfa later on in my pregnancy. I really enjoyed taking theses and felt my health was really being supported naturally. Now that I am officially postpartum I am taking a few other things from Wish Read more [...]

Thank you to Islabikes for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself.  I consider my little girl to be a very cautious child. She can get pretty easily discouraged within just one try of something new. We often spend a bit of time comforting her and reassuring her while she tries something new. Her balance bike was no different, she walked it for a long time before she decided to pick her feet up and coast on it. So I was nervous when it came to Read more [...]
