bring back your childhood with tin toy arcade :: coupon

Posted on August 3, 2015August 4, 2015 by Shanda

When I think of my childhood, I can’t help but smile. Thinking of how simple life was when I was a child makes me miss the “good ol’ days.” Swinging on the swings, catching fireflies and playing pickup sticks… those are the memories that made my childhood extra special. I want to give me son the same…

a healing grace for a reader’s soul :: giveaway

Posted on July 29, 2015August 2, 2015 by Shanda

I am a sucker for a good book. You know the one… the one that you just can’t put down. The one that you get drawn into and you loose track of time. The one that you can identify with the characters and are eager to find out more. THAT is what the Healing Grace…

manhattan sundown meets michigan sunset

Posted on July 27, 2015August 1, 2015 by Shanda

Babywearing has been such an integral part of my life for the past two years. My son just didn’t like to sleep as a newborn. My husband will attest to the fact that the first day of his life, our son was awake for almost 24 hours. This great big world was waiting for him…

keep your elegant baby wrapped in perfection

Posted on July 20, 2015July 28, 2015 by Shanda

Babies are the most special gift that a parent will ever receive. How to you give a gift that can possibly be “good enough” for the new little bundle of joy that those proud new parents hold in their hands? The truth… You can’t! BUT you can give them special gifts that will be lovingly…

make shopping for prescription glasses a breeze with glassesUSA

Posted on July 15, 2015July 18, 2015 by Shanda

My husband wore glasses for years and years. His frustration was evident almost on a daily basis. Frustration at the cost of glasses. Frustration at the process of getting eye exams. Frustration at scratching his expensive lenses. Rather than biting the bullet and forking over the money for new glasses, he was “content” with using…

What is it about nostalgia that makes our hearts swell and brings a smile to our faces? I had a wonderful childhood with many fond memories… now that I am a mother, I want to give my son the same experiences and adventures that helped shape me into the person I am today. I vividly…

have a bunch of stuff to hang? hang-a-bunch!

Posted on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015 by Shanda

I’m a little embarrassed to even admit this, but the way I was storing my tank tops was a little silly. Every single one of my 10-15 tank tops was hanging on ONE hanger by ONE strap. Trying to pull out the correct colored tank top was a pain, but it didn’t seem worth it…

solemate sox will never get lost in the wash

Posted on July 1, 2015July 6, 2015 by Shanda

This review is a promotion of a Kickstarter campaign. No product or monetary compensation have been exchanged for the feature of this product. All opinions are my own. How many times do you throw socks in the wash only to have them come out missing their mate? I can not tell you the number of socks…

ginny bakes makes gluten free baking fun and yummy

Posted on June 29, 2015July 1, 2015 by Shanda

As a mother, my number one priority is the health of my family. Mentally, spiritually and physically, I want my husband and children to thrive! Because I am the primary shopper and “meal maker,” it is my responsibility to monitor what goes in my family’s mouths. As a family, we are not gluten free by…

Posted on June 22, 2015July 1, 2015 by Shanda

I seriously love babywearing… the freedom that it affords you is priceless. I can not tell you the number of times that my little man was teething and just wanted to be held closely. As much as I would love to sit on the couch and snuggle all day, as a mother and wife that…

make “fun bites” for your child :: giveaway

Posted on June 8, 2015June 14, 2015 by Shanda

I don’t know what it is, but kids like to have everything in bite size pieces. I hand my son a strawberry and he tentatively eats the bottom off of it and hands me back a mostly not-eaten strawberry, BUT as soon as I cut them up into bite size pieces, he consumes them like…

Posted on June 3, 2015June 15, 2015 by Shanda

Life is a precious gift! When I first found out that I was pregnant, the emotions that ran through me were many! From excitement to fear to unexplainable joy, I ran the full gamut of emotions in a single moment, but perhaps the strongest and most overwhelming feeling that I had was to protect the…
