Makeup, Dirt, and Conquer: Is Clinique the Answer?

As you can tell by my latest blog posts, I love wearing makeup. I love experimenting with my look and coming up with all sorts of cool things. I never wore a lot of makeup in the past so a part of me does feel I'm making up for lost time but you're never too old to explore, right? The side effect of wearing makeup is the dirty deed of

Does Painful Loss Really Get Any Easier Over Time?

October marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and every October for the past few years, I've dedicated the entire month to posting about my experiences with loss and helping other people in similar situations. As I'm preparing for the upcoming month, which is also my birthday month, I'm constantly reminded of fall. You see, I used to love fall and I still do in some ways. I mean, hello,

This is Why Aunt Jackie's Might Be Right For You (Kids Edition)

As I continue to experiment with Bear's hair, I love trying new products. I've heard a lot of great things about the Aunt Jackie's brand so I decided to give it a whirl for both me and Bear. The results weren't all that great for me but for Bear, it was a miracle worker. Let's get right into it. Consistency: It's a cream so it's thick. Smell: Very light. Honestly, there really isn’t

Rollin' in My Bento – Snack Edition

This past couple of weeks (I know I've been slacking on updating my Bento ideas), I did something a little different for Bae's lunches. I made him a sandwich (which won't be pictured) but his bento had plenty of snacks. Let's check out what I came up with! Above: a sliced granola bar, strawberry slices, and yellow bell pepper strips.  Right: blackberries, sharp cheddar cheese bites, and hard-boiled egg. The goal

Is Cottonelle Glorious and Perfect for Your Hiney? #onamegaroll

[gallery ids="5250" type="rectangular"] Disclaimer: I'd received this complimentary sample of Cottonelle Mega Roll Clean Care for an honest review.  I have to admit: Just like everyone in the world, I'm pretty protective of my butt. You sit on it. It helps your legs to move. You shake it to a funky beat. Most of all, you tend to take care of it with the right kind of toilet paper. Now, I know some of

Do I Really Want Another Baby?

Amazing how just a short while ago, I said I was doing everything I can to be in the best physical and financial shape before we started trying. Started from the bottom and now we're here. And now we're...HERE??? Beyonce was last week and let me tell you, the woman can put on an amazing show! Everything from the production to the singing to the dancing....spectacular!

#ThrowbackThursday: Bear and his ride

We bought this trike for him when he turned one and he hasn't spent much time in it because he drags his feet whenever we stroll him. Hopefully, we can teach him how to pedal (we've tried in the past) and it'll be easier for us to push him!

CozyPhones Review!

This week, I'm reviewing CozyPhones. I was contacted by them to review their kids' headphones line and I was anxious to do so! A little bit about CozyPhones from the owner, Paul: We're a small family-owned business. We started off by selling our sleeping headphones on Amazon, then developed our own brand of fun, comfortable, kids headband headphones and named them CozyPhones™. We're a veteran owned, U.S. based business. We appreciate each and
