Thank you to Stephan Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. A couple years ago while searching for awesome baby gifts, I came across Stephan Baby.  Their assortment of fun and useful products for little ones was both unique and special.  From must have blankets, toys, and teethers, to unique and special keepsakes, baby silverware, and even inspirational baptismal gifts.  Today, I'm sharing some of their items Read more [...]

  Thank you to Silk Plants Direct for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I grew up in a home with very little decor or style.  So when my husband and I first got married, I went straight to the store and bought a plant for our freshly remodeled main floor.  I loved the look that it gave and we had that plant for many years before it finally died.  As life took over and we added children and furry pets to Read more [...]

I've also gotten a few emails, tweets and facebook messages from you Read more [...]

*SwaddleDesigns provided me with a flannel swaddle blanket in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. I feel like my sister's pregnancy has went by so quickly. We are about 10 weeks away from my nephew Royce's arrival, and my sisters two other children were born in the spring and summer, so I know she will be needing some warm items for this new little guy. I've mentioned before how much Kelsie loves SwaddleDesigns' cottom muslin swaddle blankets (pictured above), and how they Read more [...]

  Thank you to 4Legz & Organic Oscar for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. The old saying goes, "A dog is a man's best friend."  We currently own three dogs and definitely agree when people talk about their pets being members of their families.  My husband and I got our first dog together after we miscarried our first baby.  Growing up, my husband always had dogs around the farm and he knew how healing Read more [...]

*I was sent Fiber One samples in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. The last couple of months my household has been working on counting calories. We've found that a key to sticking to a low calorie diet is to eat foods that leave us feeling fuller, longer so we aren't hungry all the time. I learned that high fiber foods keep you fuller longer, so we have been working on incorporating high fiber foods into our diet. The entire Fiber One brand of foods features foods and Read more [...]

Adults understand the connection between having adequate funding and having a great education provided by a school. It's easy for us to see the benefit of clipping Box Top For Education labels from General Mills products to turn in to the school so that the school gets some money back. Yet, for me at least, I sometimes forget to clip the Box Top before recycling or throwing away the container that has the label on it. I remember being a kid and having classroom competitions to see which classroom Read more [...]
