  Thank you to Margaux & May for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.   When talking with other moms or moms-to-be about my must have baby products, I always bring up swaddle blankets.  I have come to rely heavily on them with our last couple children and there's a very good reason.  Swaddling typically works!  I have found my babies to be responsive to that technique as it would calm them and create a warm safe environment that they Read more [...]

  Thank you to KidOFit for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my very own. I've learned a lot through my years of motherhood.  When I was younger, I never realized what a big deal safe (and rear-facing) car seats were or the fact that when I had my 2 year old daycare boy rear-facing for my sanity since he screamed for entire car rides, I was actually placing him in the safest position possible!  With that knowledge, Read more [...]

  Thank you to Kickety Split for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Everyone knows it's great to get kids up, out, and moving.  However, restrictive clothing can prevent the movement and exercise that children would normally get since nobody enjoys being uncomfortable.  One mother's search for a jogging suit for her little girl led to the establishment of Kickety Split- a children's lifestyle apparel brand Read more [...]

have been provided with a Nutrisystem plan in exchange for sharing my honest experience and results on my blog. All opinions are my own. This week's Nutrisystem update is a few days late, but not because of anything Nutrisystem-related. We made a fairly last-minute decision to take a few day trip up to my grandparents' cabin while we had a few warm days in a row. Last time we were there we had decent internet, but this time our signal strength was just too low to really use the internet. So my Read more [...]

If you have a creative kid who is a little tired of the same old building blocks, Ogo Bild kits are an exciting twist on an old favorite. They bits kits come in boxes that are about 2.5 inches square so they fit perfectly into a stocking. They contain about 17 pieces each with pieces that include eyes, hands, feet and other body parts, allowing creations of creatures, monsters, animals and whatever else you can dream up. At around $7-8 each for the smaller sets, they are an affordable gift that Read more [...]

  Thank you to Flexi-Felt for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. The Summer before my husband and I got married, we purchased his family farm from his parents.  The house was in major need of TLC so we did some remodeling as I wanted it done before I moved in after the wedding.  With that, we replaced the floors.  Within a couple years though, the dining room was covered in scratches and looked terrible because Read more [...]

  Thank you to Lily Jade for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Most diaper bags feel like a necessary evil.  Parents of young children need them to be able to tote around everything babies and toddlers need: diapers, wipes, spare clothes, snacks, and toys.  However, so many come poorly designed and become detested from lack of function and style and, in the past, I've ditched the diaper bag as soon as possible.

  Thank you to Urban Bums Boutique for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. While my original reasons for cloth diapering were out of necessity because our son was reacting to disposables with chemical burns, I now have a new reason.  There are so many adorable prints available!  There are no disposables around that come even close to being as eye-catching as the cloth diapers I've seen.  Add in the fact that Read more [...]

  Thank you to The Northwest for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. We're rounding off our Baby Shower Gift Guide with a few more features before we recap and show all the great picks we've found for you!  So today, I'm sharing what I discovered from The Northwest.  Babies need blankets.  However, not everyone wants poof and frill for all occasions.  For the sports fanatics, there's a much cooler option!
