I've been cloth diapering for a few weeks now and I'm learning something new every day! I finally figured out why the diapers were leaking - I didn't have them on tight enough! This also solved the "bulge" issue. In case you aren't sure what I mean, my little girl is in a size 18 month clothes and her pants didn't fit quite right after switching to cloth. The cloth diapers seemed to be bulkier than disposable diapers, which makes sense - with no ...

Softlips Review and Giveaway
I was introduced to Softlips when I was in Junior High School (boy does that feel like a long time ago!) and I have been using it ever since. It is great to know that the same lip protection I was using many years ago is still one of the leading brands in lip care products. I picked some up on sale a few months ago because hubby suffers from dry lips and is always looking for moisturizers. He claimed they were too "girlie" for him to use, but I ...

Kiki’s Maternity Review and Giveaway!
Being pregnant doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! When I was pregnant, I was very cautious about how much I spent on maternity clothes because I knew I would only wear them for a few months. I tried to pick out things that I can wear during and after pregnancy because I found maternity clothes to be very expensive.I wish I had known about Kiki's Fashions! They have a huge line of maternity clothing that is not only very modern and ...
Quick and Easy "Ice Cream Trick" recipe
I'm known to be a very picky eater in my family. That's why people are shocked that my daughter prefers broccoli over chips and spinach over cookies - go figure. I've tried to limit her junk food in order to promote healthier eating habits and it has worked so far. I still let her indulge here and there in the occasional sweet. I just started introducing her to ice cream and just like her mama, she is hooked! Yesterday she asked me for ice cream ...
In the market for Baby Bedding?
When I was designing my little girl's nursery, I never really thought about what SHE would like. I knew what I liked, and I knew what looked good, however it was not until her 1st birthday that I realized, if I knew her before I designed her room, it would have been totally different! I decided to go with neutral colors, but she has taken a liking to the color purple. There is nothing purple in her room - so it gives me an excuse to shop! Her ...
Mixbook Photobook Review
There are so many photobook shops online, it is difficult to pick one without getting overwhelmed with the pricing and the options. I have personally made many photobooks and love the convenience of not having to place 4 x 6 photos in an album - everything is directly on the page and you can decide how big or small you want the photo.I recently had the opportunity to try out Mixbook Photobooks and I am impressed. They are super ...
Crockpot Chili Bowls
Some days are super busy and a crockpot is mama's best friend! I don't like a lot of crockpot recipes so I stick to the handful that I know will turn out great. I like to make hearty chili bowls - even though today is suppose to be a nice spring day - it doesn't really go with the weather! Crockpot Chili Bowls 1 medium onion 1 pound ground beef 1 can black beans rinsed 1 small can diced tomatoes (I use fresh grape tomatoes) 1 ...
