“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Banana Boat. I received product samples and promotional item as a thank you for participating.” Summer is coming to an end here in Michigan, however, that sure doesn’t mean we are no longer going to be in the sun! Matter of fact, we…
“Mama can we pleeeeeease take a bubble bath?” is something I’ve probably heard from my kids a hundred thousand times. Occasionally I give in and remember why I usually don’t. The itchy skin, the eczema that flares up. *sigh* But they really, really love bubbles, so I was really excited when the Sebamed samples came…
Isn’t it ironic that a WASHING MACHINE needs to be cleaned? I seriously get hung up on that every time I spiff up my washer. Thanks to pinterest, I found what works the best to clean my washer. So, if you have a day that you are all caught up on laundry (that happens NEVER,…
It’s one of parenting’s most cruel jokes :: teething! Typically baby will start pushing through those first few teeth right around 6 months and, for the next 2 years, they will go through that process a total of 20 times. Twenty teeth! Ugh! And, just when you think you’re in the clear or you’re going…
About three years ago I started recycling some of the quart size canning jars in my house to drink coffee. At the time this was an attempt from one very tired momma to efficiently use my time. Basically, I figured that by using a larger drinking mug I would only have to prep one cup…
Our family is really big on recycling. Since our local garbage pick-up doesn’t offer recycling, my husband takes our recyclables to the center every week. But even at the center, there are some types of items they don’t take, like Roaring Water CapriSuns and potato chip bags. Those are two of our favorite special treats…
Between the aches & pains I’ve been experiencing from just being more active this summer and the recent dips in temperature making my ever-enjoyable back problems act up (super heavy on the sarcasm there) I’ve been giving my new Bed Buddy Hot & Cold packs from Carex Health Brands quite the workout the past few…
My Adalynn is officially a preschooler! I can’t believe how time flies! When I first received information on the new game coming from Hasbro, for PRESCHOOLERS, I was all about it! Now, it says it’s for ages 3 on up, but still the “preschooler” word got me! Ok, let’s get on with the game that…
Being pregnant with our fourth child, I really didn’t feel we would have to get a lot and/or “need” a lot this final time around. That is, until I saw the cradle from BABYBJÖRN. I originally heard about this awesome product last year at the ABC Kids Expo. When I found out we were expecting…
It doesn’t get much more bright and cheery than a sunflower! And when it comes to cleaning…I need all the bright and cheery I can get to make it through! You all know how much I just love Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products (see my review of their spring 2013 scent, Radish, HERE). Well they…
I was super excited when I opened my “fluff” mail and found the Baby Kicks Premium Pocket Diaper inside… and I was not disappointed! Baby Kicks makes all of their diapers from natural and organic materials. The inside of the Premium Pocket Diaper is made from Bamboo Velour and is incredibly soft, so you do…
Growing up, my Mama was always the queen of notes. I’d find little notes tucked away in my backpack or books or flute case. In college, my roommate and I had completely opposite schedules a lot of the time and we would leave Post-It notes on the bathroom mirror for each other. When my husband…
