New Home – Making It Our Own
After passing our recent Property Condition Assessment, we are so happy to be in our new and WONDERFUL home! It’s a great location, wonderful neighbors, and a big backyard—everything we could have ever dreamed of! This weekend, we don’t have anything planned, so it looks like we’ll be making a few “modifications” to our style. One thing we’re tackling is finding a temporary fix for leaking hot water heater, just to ensure everything runs smoothly until we can address it properly. It’s all part of the fun of making this place truly ours! I really wish I would have found…
EcoMom: 20% off first order! (Cloth Diapers, too!)
Lately, I've been called a "health nut" on more than on occasion - by more than one person! You know what? I love it. I think it's great that I'm not being portrayed as the "fat chick" anymore, but someone who is learning to live more healthy while teaching her family healthier choices. It rocks! You know, though, being healthy doesn't always stop with the foods we put into our mouths! I ran across EcoMom not too long ago, and I have to say that this is a GREAT resource for Organic and Eco Friendly products! As you know, I'm…
Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway
Never in my life have a followed a real recipe. I'm the kind of person who likes to take the things she has in her kitchen and throw them together according to what I feel like goes well together!

If you haven't noticed (how could you not, right?), my family and I have started eating more healthy since April. …

UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock Review and Coupon Offer
This week, my family and I moved into a new home. The sun was torturous, and I was so glad that I decided to put my small tube of Neutrogena UltraSheer Liquid Daily Sunblock in my purse rather than in a box for later use! Because it's so hot here in the Houston area, I have resorted to wearing tank tops everywhere I go. Before we started the big move on Monday, I put some on my face, shoulders, arms, and neck! I was surprised at creamy it was, rather than oily (which I loathe!), and the scent was very…
