From Halloween until the New Year it seems like we are constantly going to parties or visiting with friends and I like to keep a stash of gifts on the ready. Candles are one of my go-to hostess gifts and a BIC lighter is a perfect complement. Have you seen the all new BIC design…
putting the boom in sonicclean vacuum :: review
At this stage of my pregnancy, cleaning my house is not on the top of my priority list. Although it should be, it’s so hard to clean full well knowing that behind me a tornado is happening…and it can’t be avoided. It’s called kids! So, when I do clean, it needs to be efficient and…
think inside the box with montubox :: review & giveaway
We are a visual family. My kids love playing games on my iPad (mostly educational……ish), playing Wii Sports with their dad, and watching their favorite Disney movies over and over. To be honest, with three kids 6 and under, putting on a movie is sometimes the only way to settle things down for a bit….
reclaim your holiday moments with red gold tomatoes :: review
Now that we’re settled into our new house, I’ve discovered that one of the hardest parts of this move is leaving behind my garden! Normally, at about this time, I would be enjoying those last few fresh tomatoes from our garden, using them for some delicious chili or homemade salsa. But not this year. Instead,…

a simple real food recipe :: pumpkin pie oatmeal
Ok, so this week you know your kiddos are going to be bombarded with the sugar rush, right? I’m not against a piece of candy or two, but I also take it on as my responsibility to ensure they are still getting nourishing meals in on special days like Halloween. This year I decided to…
time to get creative with stampin’ up :: review and giveaway
There’s nothing like getting a homemade card in the mail from a friend or loved one. How creative are you? Even if you aren’t, you can still use Stampin’ UP! I have used Stampin’ UP in the past and have really missed it, so when I got the chance to review their Everyday Occasions kit,…
scünci headbands :: review and giveaway
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…
it’s all in a good pair of boots! :: review {@livieandluca #fallfashion #realmomstyle}

The shoes just aren’t comfortable….
