One thing that I love to do is grow my own food, but since it's the middle of winter in Ohio it's a little hard to do right now. Then I discovered the Back to the Roots company and their line of products you can grow year round indoors. I was sent the Back to the Roots Organic Mushroom Farm to review and giveaway.

Embrace Grace ~ Love in a Box (Giveaway)

When I was nineteen I found myself pregnant with my first son. I was a freshman in college working at McDonalds at the time. It would have been easy for me to say that this is not the right time for me to have a baby in my life and simply aborted it. Luckily I had a very supportive boyfriend (now husband) at the time who stood beside and helped me get through things. I had some support from my family but only from a select few. The word abortion was thrown at me right away when I told my family I was pregnant and several times throughout my pregnancy from others. I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a good support system when find themselves young, pregnant and unwed, but there are support systems out there for these girls if they seek them. I would like to tell you about one of them Embrace Grace.

An Everlasting Love Story Coloring Book (Giveaway)

One thing I have always enjoyed doing since I was a little girl is coloring. We traveled a lot between Florida and Ohio so I would color to pass the time. As an adult I find it to be a relaxing and way for me to escape stress. I have a couple ways I escape stress while at home coloring and through listening to music. Mr. Anderson can usually pick up on my mood when he comes home or gets in my van by the style of music I have playing. 

Teach your children to play music

When I was a little girl I was trying to self teach myself how to play piano. My grandmas boss noticed this as I was teaching myself on his piano and got me lessons. I feel that music is an important thing that children should be taught. Right now Bubba is learning the trumpet in the school band. Mr. Anderson and I both know the piano and I also know how to play the trombone though its been years since I played one. 

Holiday Gift Guide: Bil Jac Dog Treats

*This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, you'll be helping to feed the little angels here at Andersons Angels.

  I have one very picky dog and one who will eat anything that doesn't eat him first. When I was asked to try the Special Edition Bil Jac Dessert Jacs Caramel Apple Pie Dog Treats. I knew one dog would like them but was unsure about the other one. To my surprise they both loved them! I opened the bag and even I wanted to try one, I of course did not. They smelled so good. The nice thing too with the Bil-Jac Dog Treats is that they can be put with the other treats, they do not need to be kept cold like Bil Jac dog food. Not only are they healthy and nutritious, they are small training treats so they are great for any size dog. Bil Jac is a family brand that has been making quality dog food with real meats. They don't add fats, fillers or gran protein or grain gluten meals.

Delicious and Healthy Prenatal Nutrition by #MotherNurture

I have not had the easiest pregnancies in regards to my health. I suffered from Hyperemesis Gravidarum with my last two pregnancies and ended up hospitalized due to it. Once I was released I had to wear a portable IV pump through my first trimester. It drained my body both physically and emotionally. My prenatal nutrition was a concern for me due to all the vomiting. There were times that I could keep nothing down no matter what I tried and I tried just about everything suggested to me.

Keep Kids Safe with Child Guard

Do you have a little one in your home? Maybe you don't have a little one that lives in your home but visits. If you do then I am sure you know the protocol for keeping them safe and dangerous stuff kept up. It is something we parents all learn as time goes on that children but everything and I mean EVERYTHING in their mouths. Stuff that we think for sure they would never put in their mouths end up in there at some point. Recently there has been a issue with children getting a hold of laundry soap pods and trying to eat them. Why would a kid put soap in their mouth? Well because to them the pods look like candy.

Heart Shaped Veggie Chips for Valentines Day

With Valentine's Day right around the corner I have been thinking about the school parties that the kids will be having and what I will send in. I always send in some kind of a treat with the kids to share with their class and it's usually something sugary. I am trying to find healthier snacks to send in with the kids to share. This year Sweet Pea will be taking Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Chips mini hearts to share with her class instead of a sugary treat.

Help Release those Wrinkles with Downy Wrinkle Release Plus

*This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, you'll be helping to feed the little angels here at Andersons Angels.

 I'm one of those people who have no problem doing the laundry... until it comes to folding. Something about folding a family of 5's laundry that makes me crazy. Usually when it comes to my clothes, ill leave them in a pile and they become so wrinkly that I have to throw them back in the dryer to look presentable. I never have been a fan of ironing mostly because it takes too much time. I was super excited to get to try the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus. All I have to do is hang up the clothes, when I finally get around to it, and spray the clothes. The wrinkles seem to fall off and they smell so fresh. I was washing the sheets and blankets and decided to spray the bed to see if it would keep the smell of the downy fresh, and it did.

Any gamer can tell you that sound is important. Too many times people take for granted the sound quality of a game. True sound quality allows a deeper immersion into your game. That's why I truly enjoy the Audio-Technica ATH-AG1X High-Fidelity Gaming Headset from Audio-Technica! This headset has it all. Great sound, easy access mute and volume buttons, and possibly its best feature, comfort.

Holiday Gift Guide: Holman Ranch Winery

How do you bring in the New Year? Most people ring in the New Year with a glass of champagne or wine. I will admit that I am one of those people. I love to have a good glass of wine at home or with my Mother In Law to bring in the New Year. This year I got to enjoy a wonderful glass of Holman Ranch Rose' of Pinot Noir wine.
