From the moment I found out I was pregnant, images of what my baby's nursery would come to mind. Being that we live in a 2-bedroom with no prospect of moving anytime soon, I knew that the nursery needed to be neutral colors. FYI - neutral does NOT mean drab! We went with blue, green, and yellow colors throughout the room with "The Cow Jumped over the Moon" theme. It was fun and playful - without any real gender specific colors sticking out. After ...

Gourmet Gift Baskets Review and Giveaway
When I give gifts, I like to give something personalized that I know the receiver will love. I try not to be a "generic" gift giver, but sometimes it is difficult to pick out a gift for someone. I usually like purchasing a lot of little things and wrapping them up in a basket to create a gift that has many surprises. This is very time consuming and doesn't always work out as I plan, but it is worth it when the gift comes together. I love looking ...

Straight Talk benefits
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have been on a cell phone contract for YEARS. When I first got a cell phone, I was looking into no-contract obligation and just recently I told my hubby that maybe we should rethink being on a contract once this one expires. What is the point of a contract anyway? So many cell phone companies operate without one and it seems to work ...
Sushi Samba Chopsticks for Kids – review
When my hubby and I met, I had gone on a sushi binge and loved to have it for lunch or dinner. He came along with me and many of our dates took place in Japanese restaurants. I was the first to introduce him to Japanese food and even teach him how to use chopsticks. When I was learning how to use chopsticks - I looked at diagrams, had various people show me how to use them and still nothing! I had no idea how to manipulate the sticks in my hands ...
Artists Unite
The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez My art studio used to just be a hobby of mine, a building a few blocks from my house that I rented out to do my work in. When my stuff started selling, though, I decided it made sense for me to turn this into a business so I bought the building and now I run a thriving art studio for local artists. I am so fulfilled by this work and it’s actually nicer than I ever imagined being an entrepreneur but it ...
Born Free Baby Products Review
The biggest problem we seem to face as new parents today is keeping harmful chemicals from leaching into our babies. Before my little girl was born, I looked into the problems with BPA and why it was banned. It seems that there is a lot of conflicting information out there, but I didn't want to take any chances. When I was growing up, my family always emphasized that plastic was not good with heat or to eat from daily. This was before the BPA ...

I’m still in the trial and error stage of cloth diapering – although I do have my go-to diapers which I always reach for when they are clean. I am always excited to try new brands of diapers. The newest addition to my fluff stash is the Evolution Cloth Diaper.If you don’t use cloth diapers, you might wonder what makes each cloth diaper so different from the next. I have not come across two cloth diapers that are similar yet, but I can tell you ...
