When I had our daughter over nine years ago, I was in uncharted nursing territory.  I didn't know anyone who currently breastfed their child.  Growing up, I babysat for a mother who nursed her four kids but that was the extent of my knowledge on the subject.  To say the least, it was a difficult time.  I couldn't find nursing apparel at any of the local stores and I didn't do any online shopping back then.  Fast forward to today and I am able to comfortably nurse our 4th child, who is now Read more [...]

This is a compensated post. All opinions are my own. I'm a really picky shopper for myself because I want to see all of my options before making a decision. I can't just walk into a store and grab the first thing, I have to compare everything. I have a really hard time picking out gifts for people because I'm not sure which of the options they would prefer. So, I sort of have a love/hate relationship with registries. On one hand, it's great to know that the recipient wants the item that you buy Read more [...]

One of the downside of owning pugs is their unique body proportions make it difficult to find clothing that fits them. Most pugs have broad chests that are disproportionately large compared to their weight, length, neck size, etc when compared to other dog breeds of a similar size. I was excited to find Diva's and Dude's Custom Dog Coats, a small business site that makes dog coats based on your dogs unique measurements. I sent the owner Beans' measurements and explained that I would like a Read more [...]

For my review I was sent a LINAJAKE Diaper Bag.  All opinions are my own. LINAJAKE is a great company that I was recently introduced to.  They sell high-end diaper bags that are super trendy and come in amazing colors.  If you are like me, choosing a diaper bag can be a very hard task.  Most diaper bags seem so big, bulky and just a hassle not to mention an eye sore as well.  LINAJAKE has taken all of that away with their chic diaper bags.  I feel like the bag is big enough to fit all of Read more [...]

We have not always had much technology in our home but as our children have grown, we've found ourselves adding some.  In the past year, we have added a Kindle Fire and MacBook to our collection of gadgets.  While the Kindle Fire wasn't a necessity, it's a fun toy that we use in moderation for the children to play on.  The MacBook was purchased for practicality so my husband could do his business paperwork and our daughter would have a place to work on her homeschool curriculum.  Neither Read more [...]

I received products from Havahart for my review. All opinions are my own. Along our driveway, we have “flower beds”. I say “flower beds” because the neighborhood critters seem to think I have supplied them with a botanically decorated restroom. I googled how to keep critters out of the garden and came up with a couple easy to do tips. The first tip was to sprinkle cayenne powder around the area. The theory was that the scent of the powder would keep them away. Well go figure, after a couple Read more [...]

When we had our first child, we purchased a dresser that had a flip open "changing area" on top.  While it was a nice large area, we had to flip it closed to get into her dresser so it was a pain.  Because it was being flipped multiple times a day, we couldn't have a traditional changing pad so I had my Grandma sew a thick "mat" that I could flip in half with the dresser top.  After we upgraded to a nicer dresser/changing station, I purchased a changing pad.  While I never really cared for Read more [...]
