BornFree Bottles Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I was asked if I wanted to try some BornFree bottles for Cora. I was using Dr. Brown’s bottles because I liked the vacuum tube, which reduces fussiness. When I found out BornFree had a similar system, I decided to take them up on their offer.
BornFree bottles are BPA free, which [...]

Paid to Pitch?

The mommy blog world is abuzz regarding a recent article published by the Wall Street Journal. The  article addresses bloggers, product reviews, and paid posts and essentially asks if bloggers are selling out.  Since everyone seems to be talking about this article I decided it would be a good time to let you (my readers) [...]

My Camera

Many of you have asked about my new camera.

OxiClean

This weekend was a baby reality check. I decided I needed to find all our bins of baby clothes, bedding, towels and bibs and start washing and getting them organized. I was sad to find many of my favorite outfits had nasty stains and spots on them. I almost got rid of them and then [...]

Weight Watcher’s Peanut Butter Cups

Weight loss seems to be a typical New Year’s Goal. I think this goal tends to get pushed out the window beginning on February 14th. As a walked through the grocery store tonight I didn’t pass an aisle without some sort of Valentine’s Day treat.

Last week I was given a sample of Weight Watcher’s Peanut [...]

Confessions of a Happy Housewife

It’s confession time! I love paper towels, love them! I realize they are not that frugal or green, but I can’t help but love them. When I was asked to do a product review of Bounty paper towels I jumped at the chance.
Now, since I am going against all that I normally talk about on [...]

Christmas Must-Haves

I thought it would be fun throughout the month of December to share some of my favorite Christmas “must-haves” with you all.
My first Christmas pick is a CD. My family loves music and I am always trying to find kid appropriate music that isn’t annoying to adults. A few years ago my sister-in-law sent us [...]

Product Review and Giveaway

Last week I was sent a package of Weight Watchers Golden Sponge Cakes to taste and review. My kids were super excited about this taste test because normally I do not buy packaged snacks. But I could not pass up some free treats so I agreed to try these cakes.

The first thing I checked was [...]

Random Thoughts

Since I have had site problems over the past week, I feel out of sync with the blog. Usually I have an idea of topics I want to cover for the week, but with all the site issues my mind has been elsewhere.
Grocery Shopping
Tonight I went to the grocery store and saved $26 in coupons. [...]
