I received products from Art & Soul Boutique for my review. All opinions are my own. I love finding boutique clothing. I love that the designs are unique. Call me silly, but I like knowing that there is a very good chance no one around me has anything similar.  Plus boutique clothing is often better quality than that purchased in a large store. Someone took the time and energy to carefully manufacture that item. They made sure it was perfect and ready to be sold. Because of these reasons, Read more [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Texas Pete for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. As a kid my family wasn't one to experiment much with spicy seasonings. My mom's household buys mild salsa, regular taco seasoning, etc. So it was interesting to date Ryan and try food his way - with seasonings and spices. I learned that I like things hotter than most of my family did. We now buy spicy taco seasoning, hot salsa, etc. A few months ago we bought hot sauce to use with tacos Read more [...]

*I received this product for free fromSmiley360 in exchange for my honest review. About two years ago I started experiencing sensitivity when brushing one area of my teeth/gums. I made a dentist appointment and there wasn't a cavity or any outward signs of an issue so they did an x-ray which showed nothing. The dentist said I was likely just experiencing sensitivity. I was relieved that there didn't appear to be an issue but I was still a bit worried that there was secretly something wrong Read more [...]

This is me two days after my 12th birthday with my newborn niece. This is her with me and my older sister Erica about 4.5 years later at her preschool graduation. When she graduated preschool she was technically still in the foster system but in my heart she had been my sister for a few years. She was placed with my mom and step-dad about two weeks after her second birthday. It took almost four years (44 months) from that day until the adoption was finalized. It was an emotional Read more [...]

Thank you to Princess Bowtique for providing me with a Petty Lace Romper & Headband for review.  All opinions are my own.   I have seen so many neat newborn photos lately.  The unique little outfits, poses, and backgrounds can make for great photo ops and I've especially noticed what's available for girls.  The rompers, tutus, bows, and headbands have caught my eye now that I'm in the girl market again.  Since our new little one is a girl after three boys, I went on the hunt Read more [...]

Thank you to GroVia for providing me with the following diapers, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   Baby number five is here and just about two weeks old now.  She is my first baby that I've tried cloth diapering as a newborn.  While I have a number of one size cloth diapers and sized (bigger) diapers, I didn't have any newborn cloth diapers for her.  Most of the diapers I already have are way too big on her.  They gap, bulge, and leak because they just Read more [...]
