Almost 6 years ago my husband and I made a lot of changes in our day to day lives. Expecting our first baby, our eyes were opened to a whole new world of the dangers of toxins and chemicals. It all started when I was cleaning the kitchen stove with something that worked great but smelled awful, and spiraled from there. We started with the food we eat, only purchasing hormone and antibiotic free meats. We changed the household cleaning products we ...

Enter the Eggland’s CEO Contest (+ $25 Gift Card Giveaway!)
Did you know that March is National Nutrition Month? We don't need an excuse to eat healthy since we typically do, but setting examples for my kids on good food habits can sometimes be challenging, especially with my older daughter in school. She's pretty good about knowing her limits on "junk" foods, and when she's home we generally have meals with lean meats, fresh veggies, and complex carbs. My youngest daughter is an egg fanatic. She ...
We Use GoodNites *TRU-FIT* So We Can Have Good Mornings #WalmartTRUFIT #IC #Ad
The occasional bed wetting accident is almost expected in younger children, but this doesn't mean it's any easier for the child to deal with. Both my girls were fully potty trained by 2, and my oldest didn't have the need for extra night protection by age 3. Then something happened around age 4- she started sleeping heavier and longer, and would find herself awoken by wet clothing. It turns out, 1 in 6 children between the ages of 4-12 suffer ...
A Girl’s Day at The Movies to See #Cinderella! #FandangoFamily
One of the most highly anticipated movies this year was a remake of Disney's Cinderella. Although not my daughter's favorite princess, she's still a Disney princess after all and we had to go see this live action film in the theater soon after it came out. Along for the ride we brought my two nieces for a fun girl's day filled with movies, lunch, and some play time. We got our tickets from the Fandango app where we chose a local ...
At Home or On The Go, The @ChiccoBaby Lullaby Baby Playard Is a Baby Must Have!
So you know you are having a baby and some of the items on your list are baby furniture, a safe infant car seat, a great stroller, and of course a baby playard. I wavered on the idea of a playard for a while, and even suggested to a friend that they probably won't need one since they lived in a small apartment, but I'll be the first to admit I was wrong! You need a playard! Whether it is a weekend at grandma's or just a safe place to rest or ...
Spring Is In The Air and At Your Local @Carters! #SpringIntoCarters #IC #Ad
Spring always excites me but after the winter we've had, spring is more welcome than ever. I almost don't see the snow still on the ground as the temps near 60 degrees. The windows are open, and the kids are eager to get out and play. Getting out of the house to shop for Easter goodies and seeing all the fun colors this season has to offer has been the highlight of my week. After shopping for Easter basket fillings with my toddler, I headed to my ...
Nioxin Made My Husband a Believer! Now it’s your turn to take the #NioxinChallege! (+ #Giveaway!)
Who wants to admit losing their hair? Not my husband. He's aware of his increasingly receding hair line, and has been for years, but at the same time he's in denial, hoping it won't get worse. It wasn't until this past summer that I caught a glimpse of some bald spots on his head. Since he's almost a foot taller than me, it's not often I see the top of his head. I asked him if he's noticed his hair thinning out, and I received a look- ...
We take our coffee seriously around here.. @Keurig #KeurigRivo
When it comes to coffee, my husband and I have two very different tastes. He prefers an iced frappe all the time while my preferences change depending on my mood, the weather, or the time of day. Plain old coffee is usually reserved for the mornings, but when I want to relax and indulge, I love a frothy cappuccino or chai latte. I use to send my husband out on coffee runs, but those were only weekly indulgences because coffee house favorites can ...
