Thank you to Mother Dirt for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself.  How often do we talk about getting rid of bacteria? Bacteria often gets such a bad name, only as the cause of disease and sickness. But what if we thought about bacteria they way it really works, there's good and bad bacteria. Bacteria all have roles in our day, and since the bad bacteria get so much light why don't we open up the conversation on good bacteria! Mother Dirt Read more [...]

This post made our TOP 10 CINNAMON ROLL RECIPES! I have been searching for the perfect cinnamon rolls for years.  Basically, I've been aiming for a recipe that was close to the ones we were served when I was in school.  While most people think school food is terrible, our school actually had some pretty great menus.  The cooks came in super early and made almost everything by hand, from scratch.  That included these amazing cinnamon rolls that they would serve whenever chili was on the menu.  Read more [...]

Thank you to Kulani Kinis for providing me product on exchange for review. All opinions belong to me.  What we wear can have a major impact on how we feel, whether you're a man or woman. I've always shopped according to what clothing style made me feel good. As I became a mother I began to feel a new sort of pressure to dress a certain way. At times I felt I was supposed to dress more modestly, covering more of my body up. Yet I felt that while despite being a mom I am still young and would Read more [...]

Thank you to Sleeping Organic for providing me with product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to myself.  Some people are stomach sleepers, other find more comfort on their backs or sides. I myself am a side sleeper at least when I start to sleep.  My husband is more of a back sleeper to start with and might migrate to his side depending on the night. So what does this mean for the sake of a pillow? For myself I need a more firm pillow that fills my shoulder space, but that Read more [...]

Growing up, riding bike was a huge part of my childhood but until the age of 12, we lived out in the country.  While our road was tarred, it was skinny and we lived by a big hill so my parents only allowed my sister and I to utilize "farm roads" that were essentially man made trails past, through, and around the local farmer's field.  While it was all dirt and grass,  we had a blast and spent hours almost daily hitting those trails.  After we moved closer to town, my sister and I would spend Read more [...]

Thank you to Kalencom New Orleans for providing the Potette Plus for review in exchange for my honest opinion.   My daughter is 17 months old now. I once read a quote that said "the days can be long, but the years are short" and this already seems so true! As we close in on a year and a half old I'm starting to think about working on potty training our daughter. I love the idea of the Potette Plus! The Potette Plus is sturdy, and has a well-balanced base to help your child feel secure. The Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. I am provided with a Nutrisystem meal plan in return for regular updates. All opinions are my own. Nutrisystem has a really broad menu. I've mentioned many times before that their variety is enough to keep you from repeating foods too often - even if you're picky. That is absolutely true. However, that doesn't mean that every food Ryan ever craves is available in some form on Nutrisystem. For example, we love tacos in this house and there is no Nutrisystem taco Read more [...]
