Our Evolving Playroom
I look back at the evolution of this little room and it’s actually quite amazing how much it has transformed over the last five years. When we first moved into this home, Derrek turned this into his office with a glass desk and a love seat but it never felt like an office. The office furniture didn’t “fit” into the space and when Nolan turned six months old, we took that furniture out and made it a playroom for him. Of course, at that time we didn’t have a large income and his playroom consisted of a few hand me down toys, bright colored playmat from Walmart and a little…

I follow a Montessori style learning when it comes to the children. Montessori is a…

My “Why”
A few years ago I began my journey into a more natural life, and one of the ways I started this was by changing my makeup routine. I threw away all of my drug store Maybelline, Cover Girl and even my beloved Clinique products. I did so visiting the Environmental Working Group website and flipping out over how toxic the ingredients were that I was applying to my skin daily! The Skin Deep database is a great online resource that lists the chemical ingredients of thousands of products, and highlights a few of the worst on the list. Be aware that even the Environmental Working Group cautions against jumping to conclusions about…

How Playtex Binky® Pacifiers Have Helped Us With Teething
This is a sponsored post however, all opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I shared a little of our life lately on my social media Sunday but I wanted to talk a little more in depth about everything. Let me start off by saying that I LOVE being a mom. My children are my WORLD and I wouldn’t change my life for anything. That does not mean that there aren’t hard times and that it can be quite overwhelming at certain points. To me, teething is one of the most trying times of motherhood. The bad thing is, that it just doesn’t happen once,…
