Banana Boat Sunscreen Review

I know summer doesn't technically start for a couple of more days, but in all reality we should wear sunscreen most everyday we are going to be outside for any length of time.  However, with the kids on summer break, the weather being incredibly warm and vacations we need to think about sun safety more then ever.  I am hardcore about having sunscreen on Little C when he is playing t-ball, swimming or even playing outside.  I need to work on caring about myself more then I do.  Banana Boat has Read more [...]

Food Should Taste Good Review and Giveaway(7/4)

By Betty

June 18th, 2012
Food SHOULD taste good. If food that is good for you tastes good, too, then it is a win-win situation. Food Should Taste Good is a chip company unlike any other of which I am aware. They have several varieties of chips that I have never heard of before and all are healthy, gluten-free, cholesterol-free and do not use GMOs (genetically modified ingredients). They are also certified kosher and many of the types of chips are vegan, so they are great for people who follow special diets. I had heard of Read more [...]

The Magic of Drew

A big thanks to Disney Babyfor sponsoring this post and theDisney Baby “Little Character” Contest. I have a very large, complex family and have a niece who is older than I am, so I was an aunt before I was even born. I grew up surrounded by other children and babies, and have been been a baby lover since I was practically a baby myself. I've always known that I want to become a mother some day, and while I am still at least a few years away from being ready, I was so thankful to get to experience Read more [...]

Honeydew Intimates Review

I don't like to compromise between style and comfort. Why is it that most sexy lingerie feels like some sort of medieval contraption while comfortable undergarments lack the je-ne-sais-quoi that makes me feel pretty? Luckily, thanks to Honeydew Intimates, I don't have to compromise anymore. Finally lingerie that is comfortable AND fun and flirty at the same time! Honeydew Intimates is a lingerie company that offers a wide selection of products from bras, bralettes and panties to sleepwear Read more [...]

MAM Teethers and Oral Care Products Review

MAM teethers are a great way to sooth and clean baby's gums. MAM offers a full line of teething products for each stage in baby’s dental development. For my review, I received a variety of MAM teethers and oral care products. I asked my almost 2 month old Niece, Jordyn to help me with this review. Although Jordyn isn’t able to hold it on her own yet, the Bite and Brush Teether went over well with her. I was able to hold it in her mouth and she seemed to enjoy biting and chewing on it.

Auric Blends Review

By Betty

June 15th, 2012
I don't really wear perfumes too often. I prefer to wear essential oils and other natural scents. Mostly I wear either Nag Champa or amber resin. I have purchased my amber resin from Auric Blends in the past, but was not too familiar with their company. They have been around since the 80s and have made both natural and synthetic scents. The scents they sent to me are made with essential oils and other natural materials. It is the Auric Blends Natural line which comes in 4 fragrances that all cost Read more [...]

Seeds of Change Kids Garden Starter Kit Review and Giveaway (6/28)

By Betty

June 14th, 2012
Over the last few years I have been reaping the benefits of a friend's garden harvest. He loves to grow veg, but doesn't really like to eat it. So I have been freezing veg for winter and also eating more than my fair share of tomatoes and peppers during the summer. This year, however, he has opted to expand the garden by about 3 times as much and asked if I would like to have my own section of garden that I plan, plant and maintain all for myself. I accepted and then fretted over whether to start Read more [...]
