Tropical Traditions Organic Raw Coconut Water Vinegar Review & No Poo Recipe | #rafflecopter #giveaway (12/14)

When trying to decide on the next Tropical Traditions item to feature for you, I was a little hesitant about this one.  I kept thinking, "what in the world does one do with Coconut  Water Vinegar?"  Truth be told, I love this stuff! The whole concept seemed pretty strange to me, and I even asked a representative of Tropical Traditions if this could be used for cleaning, washing, etc.  He told me it's mainly used for cooking as most cleaning vinegars are distilled. In the Philippines and other tropical places, raw coconut water is often left in the open air…

Looking for an Elf on the Shelf alternative?  Here's an idea! For a couple of years now, Hunter has come to visit our family starting December 1.  Hunter is a very close friend of Santa Claus from the North Pole.  He's an awesome, yet quiet snowman who sits and observes our family throughout the day, and then every night, he magically returns to the North Pole to give Santa a daily briefing on the Johnston Household!  The next morning, we'll find Hunter sitting in a different place in the house, just watching and listening. The kids just love him, and they…

Bloggers do not work for FREE. Please don’t expect us to.

My blog started out as something fun.  I used to be on a different URL, and once I decided I was serious about blogging, I cracked down, bought this URL and decided to build up it.  I've also started blogging full time for another blog (which I will not name to save the innocent). That blogging is a job.  Sure, a lot of it is fun, but I sit here for 8 hours or more a day, and blog, juggling kiddos, diapers, lunches, school drop off and pick up, and all the other stuff that comes with being a wife…

Remember the Monchhichi? REVISITED!!!

So I'm NOT the only person who remember the Monchhichis!!!!  Apparently, those at Zulily are getting schooled on them, too!  AWESOME! It ALMOST makes me want to go blow my entire Zulily credit on one of these guys.  Almost. Previous Post Content Do you remember these strange looking toys?  Several of my friends, my age, haven't ever heard the name or seen the dolls before, and I think it's absolutely bizarre!

Sassy Baby Products *Great Gifts* | Sensory Balls, Wonder Wheel, Grow Up Cup Review | #giftguide

We haven't had a baby in the house for quite some time.  Sure, Hawk is 4 (almost 5 ), but he was supposed to be our last, so we got rid of everything he outgrew, including toys. Jett is only eight weeks old, right now, but he's pretty mouthy!  No, not the way tweens get with the back talking (yet), haha, but he's getting to the point where he is pulling things to his mouth when handed them. Sassy Baby Products is a great place to get toys and gear for babies of any age. I really love the Sensory…
