    Step Away from the Princess Elsa Body Wash

    One of the things that I dread about Christmas is the number of toxic fragrance filled body washes my children recieve as presents from their grandparents. Y’all know the ones that I am refering too, the ones with your kiddos favorite TV and movie characters on them. It makes me cringe because I know they are going to have a meltdown for them and it’s hard to explain why they can’t take a bath with their Nemo bubble bath or Frozen body wash. Trying to get my little’s to understand that kids do not need them as presents, is like talking to a brick wall and knowing that they are literally money down the drain. It makes…

    Turmeric and Bonafide Provisions bone broth goodness

    Cold and flu season has attacked my household pretty bad this year. Nolan started school and has brought home every single cold and bug you can think of. While I am happy that with each one, it builds our immune systems a little more, I am so over being sick! Last weekend I visited my sister and she cooked a huge crockpot turmeric and bone broth soup to help strengthen our bodies. Turmeric and bone broth are two things that everyone should have permanently stocked in their pantries. Turmeric is a healing spice with many health benefits. It can be used to help as a decongestant, liver detox, cancer preventive,…

It’s so far from the truth. Today has been a complete S-show and I swear, I’ve cried multiple times over not being able to accomplish anything. I had some super witty mumble-jumbo written for this post and I just deleted…

    Oat Mama Love

    I often get asked about breastfeeding and producing “enough” milk. I’ve shared a lot of tricks like drinking lots of water, taking fenugreek tablets and applying fennel to your breasts but y’all, eating Oat Mama bars is at the top of my milk producing list! I started eating these the same month that Scarlet Reese was born and I have had an abundance of milk since! I pump all the extra milk that she doesn’t drink and I actually donated most of it to a friend in need. I am currently rebuilding my stash and I’d like to give a big thanks to Oat Mama for helping me do so!…

    Healthy Halloween Snacks with Replay Recycled

    I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. I have always been a Halloween junkie and now that I have children, they have become obsessed as well. We make the rounds at fall festivals, pumpkin patches and watching the Great Pumpkin on TV but we all know that trick-or-treating on Halloween is what children are most excited about! Nolan and Harper picked out their own costumes this year  (you can see them here) and run around the house saying “trick-or-treat, smell my feet”  which makes me giggle but also let’s me know that I need to educate them…
