When my chubby Charlie {I say that fondly} sees his bottle coming he practically oinks with joy. He loves his Charlie the dinosaur bottle pet. He…

shavemob :: quality shave at an affordable price :: stocking stuffer coupon code :: review + giveaway

Posted on December 10, 2013December 10, 2013 by Ginny

 I despise buying razors, so when I heard about Shavemob’s premium razors for 70% less, I wanted to know more. There was a day when I could get them for nearly free with coupons, but those deals are few and far between. On top of that, I just plain don’t have the time to run…

coconut oil & cream cheese banana bread recipe :: karoun cheese review

Posted on December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 by Ginny

I love Banana Bread. I have to bake it and give it away as soon as possible or I will eat an entire loaf solo, unaccompanied, by myself, unassisted. You get the point. I stumbled upon a coconut oil recipe last year and tweaked it to make it my own. Karoun honey greek yogurt is…

wearhop :: dress your kids in top brands :: review + $150 giveaway

Posted on November 26, 2013January 19, 2014 by Ginny

Wearhop.com is my newest “trick” shall we say, to making our clothing budget meet my quality standards. (Cute standards too!) Basically you are renting clothes and giving them back when your child outgrows them. If you happen to fall in love with an outfit, you simply buy it out instead of sending it back. I…

groovebook :: free photo albums for 6 months :: review and giveaway

Posted on November 5, 2013November 6, 2013 by Ginny

I have a ridiculous amount of photos I’ve snapped on my smartphone. I am one of those annoying people on FB that is posting pictures of my kids, meals I’ve prepared (when I actually get a chance to sit and eat), before and after laundry piles, a few selfie’s (heaven help my friends, I’m 32 not…

scünci headbands :: review and giveaway

Posted on October 29, 2013May 8, 2017 by Ginny

I think I might like hair accessories more then jewelry. Jewelry is a close second though. I feel like my hair is rather boring at the moment. It needs to be cut and highlighted so badly right now, but I just haven’t had the time to schedule a “team Ginny” hair day at the salon. To bring…

Posted on October 6, 2013October 4, 2013 by Ginny

How was your Sunday? Doesn’t this photo look like we are so happy and put together? Let me tell you the real way our day went down. It’s laughable after the fact, and it makes me glad that every day isn’t like today. It’s a struggle every single Sunday to get out the door on…
