Now is the time to start following through with those resolutions you've been planning! Many of my friends and relatives, my hubby included, have decided that January 3 is the day that they will start their weight loss challenge. My hubby is very familiar with weight loss plans and has decided that this time around he knows what he is doing and is comfortable enough to diet without being on an actual "plan." This is a great option for people who ...

Have you taken all your vitamins today? #NutritionPossible
Let's face it: there is a very small percentage of people who actually consume the proper amount of veggies and fruits each day. Personally, there are days when I may nosh on a few carrots, but then not have any vegetables the rest of the day - as for fruit, I am lucky if I eat 1 serving a day. I know how important it is to get in these vital nutrients, and I make sure my toddler gets at least two servings of fruits and veggies a day, but for ...
Nature’s Premier Compostable Diaper Service
Diaper Services may seem like a thing of the past. My grandmother always tells me about the cloth diaper service she had when my mom was a baby. She explained that each week, the diaper service would drop off a stash of cloth diapers and pick up the soiled diapers. They would launder them and bring them back the following week. When I started cloth diapering my daughter, a few people suggested cloth diapering services, but where would I find one ...
Baby Magic Has New Products! (#Giveaway)

I am always hesitant about the products that I put on my ...

Are you getting enough fiber in YOUR diet? (#Giveaway!)
I started my fiber kick right after I gave birth to my daughter. After reading through various diets to help me lose all that baby weight, I found that the most common ingredient in weight loss was an increase in fiber. Fiber helps you feel fuller longer, so you are snacking less and jump starting your weight loss. There are common misconceptions about fiber, and I would like to clear those up before I go on. When I was younger, I was diagnosed ...

What are the holidays without a little wine?
My family doesn't really need a reason to have a glass of wine, but holiday meals really aren't complete without some vino on the table. Instead of bringing over holiday cookies to the various events we have this season, I like to bring over a bottle of red wine that I know the hostess will love. Since we have so many holiday parties to attend, it is not unusual for me to purchase a case of wine in November so that I always have a bottle on hand ...
