If you've been following my blog for a while, then you know how much I LOVE Gourmet Gift Baskets. After my first review of their products, my hubby and I have become regular customers with them. We order gift baskets from Gourmet Gift Baskets for various occasions. Just recently, one of my hubby's coworkers went above and beyond for him, which affected our family for the better. There was no better way to say "Thank You!" than with a gift basket ...

Snuggle up with your softener!
There is nothing more soothing to me than the smell of fresh laundry. I love when my sheets are fresh and I can still smell a hint of softener in them even after they are out of the dryer and onto my bed. The smell of freshly washed laundry does not mean that it should smell like it was dipped in perfume and hung out to dry. Even though I love the scent of fresh laundry, I don't want the scent to be too overpowering. This past Saturday I ...
Why I love my new Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer #whirlpoolmoms
My mother always says to me, "We never had ______ (fill in the blank) and we managed just fine. While I agree with her that simple usually is best most of the time, I really can't go back to using an ordinary washer and dryer.

Whether I have a stain in my toddler's favorite leggings or a shirt that really should be ...
Holiday Gift Guide: The Story Nook Giveaway
I use to be an avid reader until I hit college. At that point I just didn't have time to read for enjoyment and I never really got back into reading since then. After my little girl was a few months old, I started reading stories to her.

Now that she is two, she is picking out her own books and choosing stories ...

Holiday Gift Guide: Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner
Quite a few of my friends have automatic floor cleaners and I have always been skeptical about them. I don't understand them - how do they know where to clean, what not to bump into, and whether or not they missed a spot? Not one of my friends have ever complained about their floor cleaner, so I suppose they must be working well. As a matter of fact, they usually have great things to say about them. When I was contacted to ...

Holiday Gift Guide: Family Games!

There are two holiday games this year that make a great family bonding experience. Lumps is a fast paced dice game that challenges players to make risky decisions with every roll.
