I feel really bad about cutting my little girl's hair short, so I won't do it. Not until she is old enough to tell me she wants it short. Right now she enjoys her long "mermaid" hair, as she calls it. She loves when I put braids and actually sits still long enough for me to put two French braid pigtails in her hair, just because she thinks it makes her look like a mermaid! The past few months have not been so pleasant, hair-wise. From the ...

Diaper Cakes are a MUST HAVE for any Baby Shower!
I wasn't too familiar with diaper cakes until I was pregnant with my daughter. My sister in law surprised me with a beautiful diaper cake which was made out of newborn disposable diapers.

Why I feed my family Natural Beef
My undergraduate coursework was in nutrition and I studied foods and the effects of foods extensively. I had heard of the terms “organic” “hormone free” and “grass fed” before, but I really had no idea what it really pertained to. It was not until I took a class where we had to study the differences in organic foods vs. conventional foods where I realized that I should be more conscious about what foods I put in my body, and more importantly, ...

Keep Your Skin Smooth This Valentine’s Day with Johnson’s!
Your bathroom cabinet is not complete without a bottle of Johnson's Baby oil. From the time I can remember, I have always had Johnson's Baby Oil in my home. I never use it for the intended purpose of moisturizing baby's skin. I have found it to be useful for other things such as healing cracked elbows and knees, taking off makeup (yes - even Halloween makeup that tends to be thicker) and coating my nose when I have a cold, to protect it from the ...
Healthy Frozen Treats with Earth’s Best!
