Sponsor Spotlight: Mr Bar-B-Q

Does that certain guy in your life like to grill or maybe it's you who loves to do the grilling for your family. Well at house Jake does the grilling and I do the cooking. With that said I feel it is only fair that he has the correct tools needed to grill properly; just like I have all the correct tools inside the house to cook properly with. Well he did not have the correct tools until recently thanks to Mr. Bar-B-Q allowing him to review one of the awesome tool sets!

Sponsor Spotlight: Baby Babu'



With the Fluffy Butt Giveaway Event right around the corner I wanted to start highlighting my awesome sponsors for this event!!

Have you ever heard of Baby Babu? Neither had I until I received a email from this new cloth diapering company. Although they are new you shouldn't rule them out right away. They were nice enough to send me a pocket diaper to review with Sweet Pea.

Wordless Wenesday: Hot Air Ballons

Sponsor Spotlight: Shower Treat Soap LLC

With the Fluffy Butt Giveaway Event right around the corner I wanted to start highlighting my awesome sponsors for this event!!

One thing I love is my cloth diaper stash and I am very picky when it comes to it as well. I have only used one type of detergent on them since Sweet Pea was born. But when I got the chance to review a bag of Shower Treat Soaps Stink Pot laundry soap I jumped at the chance. I mean we all need to see what works best for our families so sometimes we have to quit being plain Jane and go for an adventure. Right?

Natural House Moppy Review

I recently received the opportunity to review another one of Natural House's great products. This time I got to try out Moppy. Moppy is Natural House's floor cleaner and scrubber. It is a water-soluble packet filled with powerful, plant derived scrubbing agents that cut through the dirt and grime. It is safe to use on almost any surface which is great because I have tile and hardwood flooring throughout my house. And I am so glad to tell you that it worked great on both types of surfaces!

Diva Cup Review & Giveaway

*This post will be talking about a woman's menstrual cycle so if you are uncomfortable reading about the subject then I would not read this post.

Fort Rapids Review & Giveaway

Recently we had the opportunity to take our kids on a mini-vacation to Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark in Columbus, Ohio. I am not sure who was more excited about the trip Jake and I or the kids. We decided to pick Bubba up early from school and head down to the Resort and start our weekend early. When we first arrived to the Resort I walked right in and check-in was quick. Had we waited though to check-in we would of got stuck in the crowd at check-in. They could of moved the crowd quicker had they had 3 people working check-in instead of just 2. While down there we had a dinner date with Ashley from "and the little ones too blog" and her family. It's was so nice to put a face with a name other than just a picture online.

Sponsor Spotlight: Kansas City Steak Company

With Father's Day around the corner I decided to join a Father's Day Event called "Celebrating Dad" with a few of my blogging friends. Since Jake (my hubby) is like most guys and loves to grill I figured I would try and put together a Grill Package for the event. So I am sure you can guess how excited he has been to get all this great grilling gear. I must say that he was speechless when I told him that The Kansas City Steak Company had agreed to let him review steaks for the event.

Start Planning Your Summer

With summer right around the corner it's time to start planning what your family will be doing this year. One thing I have always wanted to do was go on a cruise and especially one with my kids. There are so many different trips to choose from it seems so hard to pick which would be best for my family. I mean how do you choose which cruise trip would be the best fit for everyone in your family? 

What if you don't have a family but are planning a romantic honeymoon for you and your soon to be wife. Wouldn't a romantic cruise be a great idea? I know as a woman I would have loved to go on a cruise for my honeymoon. If you thinking about a cruise you should make sure you check out the Mediterranean cruise deals so you can get the best deal possible. Maybe you are planning a nice cruise trip for your anniversary as a surprise. Well no matter what the occasion may be you will want to make sure you get the best deal possible.  Because don’t forget the money saved on booking your trip is more money you have to spend while on the trip.

Wordless Wenesday: Honeybees

The Mommy Hook Review & Giveaway

One thing that I have never been a big fan of was putting bags under a stroller because it just made it difficult to get things out of them then. I mean you'd decide that you need something out of your purse or diaper and then would have to play the feeling game to find it. I am not a fan of the feeling game at all which I am sure most people are not. With that said i'd like to introduce you to the The Mommy Hook.

FuzziBunz Featured Cloth Mama

I am super excited to say that I am the Monday Mama on FuzziBunz's Blog today... Would you like to check out the article you can by following this link... Make sure you stop by there blog every Monday to see the many Mama's that will be featured!!

Wordless Wenesday: Boys being Boys

Sponsor Spotlight: Onya Baby Carrier

One thing that I did not do much with the boys was wear them. I have a bad back and the idea of carrying around extra weight did not seem like a good idea. But what I didn't realize was I was still carrying them around on my hip which was even worse for my back. But as I am sure you have noticed from other post I have gotten smarter with each child. I have discovered that I love wearing my babies now and it is so much easier on my back as well.

Summertime

With summer right around the corner and the kids getting ready to get out of school it's time to start planning your family holidays. What will you be doing this year going to the beach, camping, disney or staying local? We try to take our kids to the beach every other year and this year is a beach year for us. We have recently started having my in-laws go with us as well so it's an extended family vacation for us. This year we are doing a two for one trip not only are we going to the beach but we will be camping on the beach as well. The kids are very excited about this trip and we hear almost everyday do we go to Myrtle Beach today?

I think I am just as excited because I have never been camping in my life. Yes you read that right I have never been camping. My in-laws take the boys camping each year but wanted to start the tradition of camping at beach this year to help save money. So I would love to hear what my awesome followers have planned for this summer. Also what will you be doing to help save money while your on your family holidays?

Cinco De Mayo

Today is Cinco De Mayo will you be celebrating? Though we have no Spanish descents we will be celebrating Cinco De Mayo with our family. This morning we got up and took the kids to the zoo hoping there would be something going on for Cinco De Mayo but there wasn't. That is OK because we had perfect weather and really enjoyed the walk around the zoo looking at the animals. Later we will be making Taco Burgers and having Chips and Queso for dinner.

How do you celebrate Cinco De Mayo with your family? Will you got out for a Mexican dinner or cook Mexican food at home? I would love to hear what you have planned or did today to celebrate...

LIfe and Changes

Life can take you down many paths, that is what writes our life stories. I have taken some paths that I am happy about and others that I wish I hadn't taken. Well no matter which path it was I have learned something from it and I carry that knowledge with me each day. Well with that said I have decided to try a new path in my life and I am hoping that it is one that will be greatly beneficial for my family. As most of you know I have been trying to switch my family over to more "Natural" products for the health of my family. My husband and I recently came across Melaleuca and have decided to give it a try. I am now signed up to start selling Melaleuca and would love to share this company with my awesome followers.
