As I sit to write this post it is 9:30 PM and I. Am. Hungry. Like, sneak into the kitchen and devour a sleeve of chocolate coated peppermint cookies hungry. Don’t judge – you know you’ve had that craving too…. Now, I have two choices: 1) snarf down those cookies and live to regret it;…

how to “yardstash” your things :: review + giveaway
Bikes, baby toys, rakes, shovels, watering cans, lawnmower, trashcans, yard waste bags, recycle bin, Christmas tree stand, BB gun target… what do all these things have in common? They are all in our garage. How we manage to fit these things (and much, MUCH more!) in our garage as well as our vehicles I will…
the one stop shop for your mother’s day needs and contest from @kohls #DearMom
**I was offered a gift in exchange for sharing this post. Regardless, you know I love Kohl’s!** As you know, I’m a huge fan of everything that Kohl’s has to offer. I have especially focused on their fashion side of things. Yet, they have SO much more to offer! In my humble, but completely accurate…
12 weeks out and feeling good! :: review of @bellybandit
It’s no surprise. After you have a baby, you have quite a transition to go through to love your “new” body. Some people pop right back, some people don’t, some people change in their shape to ways that don’t even make sense. And, here I sit. My baby is 12 weeks old now, and, wait…
cheshire fields :: nature inspired herbals :: review + giveaway
You ever have one of those friends in your life that are just flat out good at what they do? I’m talking they just know everything about everything in a certain area? I met the owner of Cheshire Fields this past year and I have been itching to get her on SIMPLE! I have never…
outdoor fun with rollors :: review + giveaway
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE being outdoors. Throughout the winter months when I am snowed in here in Michigan, I sit and daydream about when I will be able to be outside again. Whether it is working in my garden, reading a good book or having fun playing games with my…
in the sand or in the snow…turtlebacks are with you on the go :: review + giveaway
OK, cheesy title, I know. But I couldn’t resist the rhyming. And it is so true. Turtlebacks are portable drink holders that go with you everywhere and keep your snack or drink safe from the ever-present danger of tippage. Have you ever been to the beach and wished you had a place to put your…
savoring the soft glow of salt :: review
Several months ago I went to visit a friend who’d just had a baby and she had this gorgeous lamp in her daughter’s room. It was made of a wire “bowl” filled with several orangeish-pinkish rocks and a light beneath the rocks. When I asked about it she told me that they weren’t actually rocks…

preggie baby boutique :: products safe for momma + baby :: review + giveaway
I think in the 5 years since I had my first baby there must be literally hundreds of new baby products that have hit the market. Some of the good, some of them maybe not. It can be so hard to figure out what products are safe. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a “one…
a simple real food recipe :: homemade butter… yum!
Just call me Paula Dean… I LOVE butter!!! Butter on my popcorn. Butter on my pancakes. Butter to cook my chicken. Butter, butter, BUTTER! I won’t get into the debate about butter over margarine because butter will win every time! Haha… I love me some butter! Ok… I think you get the drift. I love…
luv bug company :: waterproof blanket + bottle buddy :: review + giveaway
I get OCD about being prepared for the inevitables (yes plural, it’s always more then one inevitable that pops up) when you go anywhere with a baby. I keep an extra outfit in each car, spare diapers in the glove box, shout wipes in the diaper bag, etc. There comes a point when I can’t…
