    Swanky Shank Easter Swag

    Can y’all believe that Easter is almost here? We have been enjoying the warmer weather and flowers so much that the pollen hasn’t even fazed us. The kids and I often head outside in the afternoons to get some fresh air, enjoy the beautiful colors of Spring and not go stir crazy from being in the house all day! It’s really important to remember as a parent that kids need a break from being confined and when they start getting wild it’s best for everyone’s sanity to head outside! (I received these shirts from Swanky Shank, in exchange for an honest review.) Since Easter is this weekend, we have been wearing all…

He kisses my belly and sings his version of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and he talks about the baby being his! He really loves little babies, and I know he is going to be really excited and helpful when his new little brother or sister comes along. Harper doesn’t quite understand yet…

    Eco Tan- Organic Sunless Tanning

    I’ve decided that every week, I will share some my favorite green beauty products. My purpose in doing so is to show y’all how important using organic products really is! I don’t do things just to be labeled as a hippie, contrary to what some people might think. Instead, I do it for my health and my family’s health. There are so many toxic chemicals that fill the beauty products that are sold at everyday department stores that can have major harmful effects on us. It is really scary! I highly suggest downloading the SKIN DEEP app and typing in the names of the products that are currently in your…
