*I was provided with a storage unit from ClosetMaid. All opinions are my own. I started sewing about five years ago. Since then I have tried a variety of ways to store my fabric and sewing supplies but eventually everything would end up in a big mess again. I have a lot of fabric in a variety of random sized pieces which makes up the bulk of my stash. I also have fabric scraps that are big enough to still be useful, so I hate to toss them out. Plus needles, thread, ribbon and a few odds and Read more [...]

    Thank you East of the Sun West of the Moon (EoSunWoMoon) for providing us with products to review, free of charge. These are our own honest opinions.  I love handmade accessories. There is something special about wearing an item that you know is totally unique and was created just for you. Handmade items are also great to show your personality and set you apart from the mass. It is also a perfect way to encourage our local economy and support someone's hard work directly. Read more [...]

Thank you to Spark Of Amber for sending me product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   With four children and another on the way, we've dealt with our fair share of teething pains and issues as well as having one child who is always on the go and can be slightly over-active (or in other words, LOUD!)  With baby #5 almost here, I know we'll be going through teething woes and tantrums all over again.  I tend to lean towards non-invasive gentle methods of helping Read more [...]

    Thank you Nursing Bra Express for providing us with products to review, free of charge. These are our own honest opinions.  I have been fortunate to be able to breastfeed both my daugthers with very minimal bumps along the road. I am very grateful to have been able to breastfeed for such a long time (basically almost 3 years, with only a few weeks of 'rest' between Baby 1 and Baby 2). There are a few things that made this journey easier for me: a supportive husband, access Read more [...]

I received products from Green Plate Foods for my review. All opinions are my own. The last couple of years, I have really begun to examine the foods we put into our bodies. My family has a house rule that we don’t eat anything we can’t pronounce. We strive for two fresh fruit servings and four vegetable servings each day. I have also begun a nutritional cleansing program and am taking steps toward adopting a gluten-free diet. I found a company called Green Plate Foods; they make all-natural Read more [...]

I received products from prAna for my review. All opinions are my own. Brrr! The last few mornings it has been obvious that the seasons are changing. Gone are our summer mornings of waking with the temperatures in the 60s. They have been replaced with morning temperatures in the upper 40s. It won’t be too much longer before our Oregon wet windy weather has returned. To celebrate the seasons changing, I decided to add a few fresh pieces to my fall/winter wardrobe. I turned to prAna for Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of GB Child USA for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I was just a little kid when I realized that all strollers are NOT made equally. I loved helping to push my nieces and nephews when we would go places with a stroller. Some were easy for me to push even a heavy toddler in, while others were difficult to maneuver with a newborn in them. Even among strollers that push well, there are so many other factors to consider. Do they have enough space Read more [...]

I received products from Weight Watchers Ice Cream for my review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to desserts, I believe in moderation. If we have treats that are prepackaged in portion controlled servings, that’s ideal for us because, then we are even less likely to over-indulge. I know this to be true for myself but also for my family members. So when my family is in the mood for something sweet, I look for individually packaged goodies. We recently had the opportunity to try Read more [...]

I received products from Contigo for my review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to travel mugs, there is only one brand I allow in my house, and that is Contigo! Contigo products are easily superior to any other brands we’ve tried: that’s why we keep buying them. We have tried other brands but they just don’t hold up…the beverage doesn’t stay hot, they leak or the stainless steel outside falls apart. None of that happens with Contigo! They have a leak-proof design and are made Read more [...]
