*I was given a complimentary e-cloth pet towel. All opinions are my own. My pugs Frank & Beans are lapdogs. If I am sitting down, they are either on my lap or right up against me. Most of the time if I walk around the house, they follow me. As a result, I bathe them really regularly - perhaps more regularly than your average pet owner. Nobody wants a stinky dog up against them, right? Thankfully, they are really used to being bathed and tolerate it pretty well. I used to always line up their Read more [...]

*Milkbone provided me with product and a gift card. All opinions are my own. I spent a lot of time reading about dogs in general and pugs prior to getting Frank & Beans. I knew that it's a common problem for pet owners to not realize that they need to do anything special to care for their dogs teeth which causes tartar build up and other problems. I knew it was recommended that you brush your dogs teeth daily. I had also read that because pugs have such small mouths (As a result of their short Read more [...]

I received products from Branam for my review. All opinions are my own. I am becoming selective about which oral care products my family uses. The more I learn about traditional over the counter toothpaste ingredients, the more I want to stay away from them. About a year ago, I started switching us over to oral care products made with natural ingredients. I recently learned of a company called Branam. Dr. Branam DDS, a respected pediatric dentist, created a line of natural oral care products. Read more [...]

Thank you You! Lingerie for providing me with a product to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring this giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. Nursing moms shouldn't have to compromise and nor be limited to a few boring styles when it comes to nursing bras. Considering that it is recommended moms breastfeed for 6 months exclusively, then in conjunction with solid food for at least 2 years (according to the World Health Organization), it's not like we have to give up our sense of style Read more [...]

*I was provided with SoftSoap products. All opinions are my own. For a lot of moms, the time spent in the shower is some of the only time that they get to really be alone most days. Other moms even give up their shower time because their toddler insists on coming in too. Not to mention moms with newborns who struggle to even find the time to shower daily. When you add those all up, that is a lot of mamas who really value their bath or shower time when they do get it. I'm not a mom yet, but I find Read more [...]

I received products from Dino Lingo for my review. All opinions are my own. For a while now, my daughters (ages 7 and 5 years old) have been asking to learn Spanish. Unfortunately I don’t know Spanish. When I was in school, it wasn't a requirement that we learn a second language. At that point, learning a second language was still optional. I suggested to the girls that we try to teach ourselves Spanish. That didn’t go very well because it’s hard to teach something when you don’t understand Read more [...]

Thank you to Isabelle Grace Jewelry for providing me with a necklace, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. Mothers are an important part of a child's life.  As Mother's Day approaches, it's nice to remind our moms that we care and are grateful for the things they have done in our lives.  While nobody is perfect, most moms truly do the best they can for their children.  I have many fond memories growing up and my mother is an important part of some of them.  I knew that Read more [...]

I have been striving to get my family to try some new foods and eat healthier.  While I do feel that we do a fairly good job, I get bored with the same dozen meals that become our routine.  One thing that I do enjoy sticking to is having a salad almost every day with our noon meal.  While our youngest at almost 2 years old has turned his nose up at his mini salad every day, I continue to offer it to him and the rest of our kids each time.  However, I was recently given a Check Fajitas recipe Read more [...]
