My hubby was thoroughly disgusted when he saw me put a drop of dish soap in the strawberries to soak them. I try to buy organic foods when I can, but with rising prices it gets hard to purchase products that do not contain pesticides. And for the record, my organic apples seem to still have a waxy coating which totally puts me off - because the reason I buy organic in the first place is so that nothing is added to my produce! I heard about ...

Pail it Forward by Munchkin! @Munchkin_Inc
The one thing you don't want to worry about when bringing your baby home is how the nursery will smell once you start changing diapers. There are quite a few choices for diaper pails these days, but many moms will tell you that some of them just don't work! I opted to not get a diaper pail, but after hearing great reviews about Munchkin's Arm & Hammer diaper pail, I decided that this is one I HAVE to try! What makes the Munchkin Arm & ...
The perfect gift for any sweet tooth
I never knew I liked toffee until about 2 years ago - and I definitely was not a fan of milk chocolate. When I was given the opportunity to review a box of Enstrom's Milk Chocolate Almond Toffee, I knew that I would love everything except the milk chocolate - until I tried it. After my box of Chocolate Almond Toffee arrived, I took a little bite and was wowed by the quality of the chocolate and the texture of the toffee AND the milk ...
e.l.f. Makeup Review
While I love makeup, I have a hard time choosing the right colors. I shy away from dark bold colors and tend to go with the soft, flirty colors. You can say that I am actually afraid of makeup - even though I enjoy wearing it. I find myself choosing colors that I think will look good when I am in the store, but I am usually disappointed by the time I go home and actually try them on. My personal favorite makeup company can only be found in ...
Mrs Cubbison’s Kitchen Helpers Giveaway
One of the most hectic holidays I have hosted myself is Christmas dinner without any help from my mom. It was my second year married and I was having my husband's family over. Everything, including dessert, was homemade and was a 3 day process to get everything organized. I wanted dinner to be impressive, so I ordered a crown pork roast from the butcher. He asked me if I wanted him to stuff it for me and I scoffed at him - "No thanks, I can do it ...
Ready for a bathroom makeover?
I'm so ready. I think I was ready from the time I moved into my home. We had to gut the entire apartment because the tenants before were less than civilized and everything went - except the bathroom. My home looks modern, but my bathroom is a light blue and white from the 1970s. I guess I can count my blessings that it isn't yellow, but the old blue tub just has to go. This is the one room in my home that is an eyesore to me. Word of advice: DO ...
California Innovations Diaper Bag Review
Finding the right diaper bag took me a while. I still feel that there is no PERFECT bag that suits me for every outing. As my toddler's needs change, so does my choice in which bag I choose to take with me. I have about 5 bags that I use as diaper bags, and only 1 of them is a traditional "diaper bag." When choosing a diaper bag, you have to think of exactly what you are bringing with you. What do you absolutely NEED? Then factor in extras - ...
