When we built our house, one of the things we spent a great deal of time designing was our kitchen. We’re food people. We love to cook and eat and entertain. We actually chose our floorplan because the kitchen was so large and open to the living room. It would make having people over and entertaining […]
Mabel’s Labels: A Must Have for Moms!
School has brought about more than one change in our life, and considering Joshua has now been enrolled in two schools so far since we moved, we’ve had more changes than most. All of these changes, most specifically starting school, are the reason why Mabel’s Labels are a must have for moms like me. And […]
31 Letters in 31 Weeks with Pear Tree Stationery
It’s been 9 weeks since I wrote about my goal to mail 31 letters in 31 weeks. After today’s batch of letters make it into the mail box, I’ll be a week ahead of the game. I’ve gone in spurts mailing several letters at a time, but I’m still letter-for-week on the campaign. Part of […]
One More Reason To Love Thirty-One
We have a bit of a problem over here. That problem? The massive piles of crap kid stuff that find their way into the floorboard of my car. See? True confession: I removed FOUR sippy cups of water and three empty snack cups before I snapped this photo. Thanks, Emma. Now I know where all the sippy […]
Fun In The Sun With AppleCheeks Swim Diapers
So, yesterday we started a little giveaway for DO Naturals sunscreen. (Go enter that if you haven’t already!) Today we’re going to compliment that with a little AppleCheeks swim diaper fun courtesy of my friend Irene at Happy Cotton Tails! It’s no secret I love my AppleCheeks cloth diapers. I love them like whoa. So […]
Fun In The Sun With Dolphin Organics
In an effort to think of happier times around here, even if only for a moment, let’s talk about vacation! Specifically, how we kept the kids’ skin protected while they frolicked in the waves. (Yes, Emma frolicks. Also she faceplants. And then gets back up and does it all over again.) Enter Dolphin Organics Naturals […]
Let’s talk about bras: The Leading Lady Holiday Nursing Collection
Ever since The Plugged Duct Debacle a couple of months ago, I’ve been careful to avoid a recurrence. I do not ever want to feel that again even if what I felt was the tip of the frozen breast milk iceberg. Never ever. After the plug was cleared, I took a good, long look at […]
Paying it forward with Pear Tree Greetings
I love Christmas cards. Sending and receiving them. Know why? They aren’t bills. There’s something magical about going to your mailbox and finding pretty colored, hand-addressed envelopes that don’t say “Presorted First Class Postage Paid” in the upper corner, don’t you think? But thanks to my our single-income status, I thought Christmas cards were going […]
Lauren Nicole Gifts, something for everyone on your list!
It’s pretty much no secret to people who know me that when it comes to gifts I like to receive, I’m about as typical a girl as it gets. In a word: I like jewelry. (And spa days.) I especially like personalized jewelry. (I also like giving away jewelry, so be sure to make it […]
Headbands, Ribbons, and Frills! OH MY! The Hair Bow Company Review
Y’all, I think I’ve found a new favorite Girl Mom place on the internet: The Hair Bow Company. After spending nearly 3 years on Team Boy Mom, immersed in trucks and trains and dirt, finding out I was having a girl was exciting for a lot of reasons, only one of which was all of […]
