Sponsor Spotlight: Mommylicious Maternity


Do you love to wear cute and stylish clothing? Have you found it hard to find cute maternity clothing now that you are expecting? Or do you wonder where everyone gets their really cute maternity clothes? I know that I struggle to find maternity clothing that I actually like and would wear. With that said I would like to introduce you to a wonderful clothing company I have found Mommylicious Maternity.

Sponsor Spotlight: Lamaze Maternity Intimates


One thing that I had found after three pregnancies was my underwear did not fit the same while pregnant. I had purchased some maternity underwear while I was pregnant with Bubba but that was almost 9 years ago so yeah they are no longer around. So I was excited when I got to team up with Lamaze Maternity Intimates because I could get me some much needed new ones.

The Stork - A at Home Fertility Option


Over the past year I am sure that many of you realized that my husband and I struggled with trying to get pregnant. Which I felt alone and ashamed of because I couldn't easily conceive when others just think about it and it happens. I recently sat through a webinar hosted by Stephen Bollinger, founder, president and CEO of Rinovum, about a new product they have coming out to help couples with trying to conceive. While sitting through the seminar I discovered that I was not alone in my struggle and there were others just like me out there. 

Sponsor Spotlight: Buddah Belllies


Have you seen all those cute little stickers everyone is using on their pregnant bellies and on the baby's onesies? Oh I know I have fallen in love with them and was super excited to team up with Buddah Bellies and get the chance to review some. Buddah Bellies is a wonderful etsy shop that creates Baby Monthly Stickers, Milestone Stickers, Weekly Pregnancy Sticker and more.

Sponsor Spotlight: Spark of Amber


Ever since I got pregnant with Sweet Pea I have been looking for all the beat and natural ways to do things with my children. That has slowly started to trickle over to how I do things over all for my family in general. One thing I was never a big fan of was infants teething medicines so I was so excited when I learned about the amber teething necklaces. Sweet Pea started wearing a amber necklace at around 3-4 months old and is still wearing one. So the idea that adults and older children can wear them to makes me super excited because I know that I deal with a lot of pain issues that the amber could help with. 

Kohl's Review


One thing that I love to do is shop as most women do and I have already got Sweet Pea to the point that every morning she asks if we are going shopping. No I do not shop that often though I wish I could. But along with shopping I love to find good deals on clothing for my kids. When it was time to buy back to school clothes I was always checking the ads to see who had the best deals and where I could get the most for my money. As most of you know kid's clothing is not cheap.

Alphabet Flash Cards Review



One thing that I like to have around the house is educational tools I can use with my children. I have workbooks that I pull pages from to help the kids with subjects that they are struggling in. With that said I would like to tell you about a great tool I recently added to my collection that I am totally in love with! I received Alphabet Flash Cards to review with Pumpkin and have also been using them with Sweet Pea.

Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo


Recently on our trip to Florida we got to go and visit Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo. I remember going to this zoo as a child and loving it then. It has changed a lot in the 20 years since I have been there but only in a good way. We were hoping that the rain wouldn't hit us while we were there but it did. Which most people would think would cool things off... nope not in Florida. But that's OK the kids loved getting wet and acting silly in the rain.

SelectAware.com Review


Do you like to shop online? I have started to do more so lately because it is so much easier then dragging three kiddos with me to the store. It also makes shopping for birthdays and Christmas so much easier because I don't have to worry about the little ones seeing the stuff. With shopping online I can easily have my items shipped to my house or wherever needed if they are gifts. I am also starting to use coupons more now when I shop. I mean why not every little bit you save adds up in the long run. With that said I would like to introduce you to a great site that I recently came across SelectAware.com.  

Gourmet Basics Smart Fries Review


One thing I am very big about is giving my family healthy snack options. With the rising epidemic of childhood obesity I try to keep things as healthy as still yummy as I can. I have been lucky with my children so far as they prefer fruits and veggies to most junk food.  I was eager to try Smart Fries with my family when I got the offer. I am a big fan of potato chips though I know they are not good for me so having a healthier option in the house is great.

Duracell Quantum Batteries Review & Giveaway


I recently was given the opportunity to try out Duracell's new Quantum alkaline batteries. One thing that my family does through a lot of is batteries. With our carbon monoxide detectors, cameras, wii remotes, TV remote and lots of the kids toys taking batteries we really need ones that will last. That is why I was excited to try out Duracell's newest long lasting batteries.

Motorola Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor MBP41 Review


 If you are like me you worry about putting your little ones to bed in another room. I mean you can hear them for the most part but you can't see them which worries me. There are baby monitors that only allow you to hear what is going on but you can sometimes pick up other households which is not fun. With that said I would like to introduce you to a wonderful product that I have gotten the chance to review! The Motorola Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor MBP41

Kingsway Pumpkin Farm Review


Today I would like to introduce you to one of the Pumpkin Farms located in beautiful Hartville, Ohio. One thing that my family loves to do in the fall is visit our local orchards and pumpkin patches. One of our favorite pumpkin patches is Kingsway Pumpkin Farm! We have been taking the kids to Kingsway since Bubba was 2. It is such a nice place to take the family to celebrate fall and Halloween without all the scary factors of the season. There is such a wide variety of things to do at Kingsway that everyone in the family can easily find something to keep them entertained.
