I was recently standing in the store with my (pregnant) sister, looking at a row of diapers. "There are so many options!" she said. She purchased a box of Huggies Snug And Dry Ultra diapers. Huggies are a favorite of mine because of their stretchy section in the back of the diaper. Most other diaper brands don't have any stretch in that area, so when baby crawls, bends or just moves around the back of the diaper will gap away from their back. With Huggies brand diapers, the diaper stays Read more [...]

Thank you Brownberry® for sponsoring this recipe & giveaway. All opinions are my own. I think one of the big factors that keep people from changing to a healthier diet is fear of too much change. Many people know that their diet could use improvement, but when looking at diet and health foods, they are nearly unrecognizable which seems like too big of a leap. I confess that I sometimes fall into the trap of being afraid to try foods that are dramatically different from what I'm used to. Read more [...]

  Thank you to Bubula for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love babies.  The newborn stage is so fleeting and it's truly one of my favorites.  Snuggling a tiny adorable baby who is usually sleeping is definitely my idea of relaxing fun.  However, babies do grow and along with that comes many changes.  One of those changes is the difference in their diapers.  I've discovered that strictly breasted baby diapers Read more [...]

Thank you GotchaCoveredNotebooks.com for providing me with journals for review. All opinions are my own. Later today I am going to be going to my little sisters 12th birthday party. It makes me feel so old that she was born 12 years ago because it feels like it's only been a few years. She's getting to an age where it's a bit harder to buy gifts because she's growing out of playing with toys. Her name has a unique spelling so I've always enjoyed getting her personalized gifts, but I think personalized Read more [...]

These are some of the reasons I appreciate a state based subscription box! Given that Michigan is my home state I Read more [...]

Thank you for the folks at Brondell for providing me with product for review in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Yup you read that right, a bidet! Im sure you have heard of it, in some form or another, whether through cultural experience or joke. The FreshSpa easy bidet is essentially an attachment you install onto your already functioning toilet. In the box you get the actual attachment, along with a 7/8" brass T-valve connector, flexible bidet hose and installation instructions. Read more [...]
