Bunkbed Ideas for Three Boys | #diy #bunkbeds
Since we've moved into this house, we've been looking at tons of different bed options for the boys like those on the Dreamcloud Hybrid Mattress Reviews. Our small house is only three bedrooms between the six of us. Of course, being the only girl, the Teenager gets her own room (yes, it has a pink wall so that the boys don't forget that it's hers!), and the older boys are sharing a room. Andy and I share our room with The Minion. If you live in a small house and want to add space, it is advisable to consult a…
PREMAMA® Essentials Prenatal Drink Mix Review & Giveaway (11/7) | #pregnancy
As a doula, one of the most common early pregnancy complaints that I hear (aside of just being flat out tired all the time) is that moms hate taking prenatal vitamins because they make them sick in some form or fashion. Whether it's heightened morning sickness or constipation, sometimes, prenatal vitamins seem like they're doing more harm than good, and many pregnant women just stop taking them - which is simple unacceptable. On the flip side, nursing moms usually drop the prenatal vitamins after the baby is born, but they're so important to help establish a healthy breastmilk supply. (Side…
Most Memorable Moments in Television | #tv #music
Do you have any songs that just tear at your heart and take a perfectly good mood and turn it upside down for a few minutes? Most of the time, for me, those songs come in the form of tragic and memorable moments in my favorite TV shows from our local cable tv services provider. I don't know if it's weird or not to love songs that give me a sense of sadness, but here are three of my most memorable moments in television. Denny Duquette's Death on Grey's Anatomy I really fell in love with Denny. I already liked…

Teenagers and the Dishwasher – Why is it so hard? | #parenting #teens
Oh the joys of parenting teenagers. Kylie has a lot going for her. She's compassionate, talented, beautiful, stylish, fun-loving, witty, and great at making really dumb faces. Pretty much everything you'd want in a teenage daughter, right? That until it comes time for chores! I know, I know. She's a teen, and they're all a little lacking in that department. She's probably going to read this post and say, "MOM you're ruining my life!!" (Come to think about it, my mom will probably read this post and say, "LISA, I can't believe you posted that!" - Hi mom.) Aside from…
Healthgrades iOS App | Healthcare information at your fingertips!
It's been almost a year and a half since we moved to Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is a bit of a secluded town on the outskirts of Baytown - East of Houston. When we moved this way, I was terrified that I would not find a pediatrician that went a long with our wishes for a more natural approach to medicine. As a doula, I'm always being asked for referrals for obstetricians, midwives, dentists, and pediatricians, and being in a new-to-me area, with the exception of midwives and my pediatrician, I've not been much help. Now, with and their iOS…
Dreaming of a Keurig – I want to #BrewtheLove, too! | #coffee
Confession time. Jealousy has hit the Johnston household pretty hard lately. Well, it's hit me, anyway. I know we're not supposed to be jealous of other people's belongings - but I am! In the past week, I have seen the name Keurig pop up in my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Email, RSS, StumbleUpon, and Pinterest feeds approximately 4,587 times. The good news they're really hot and popular right now and they make a lot of people happy, happy, happy. The bad news I don't have one, and that leaves me envious and Dreaming of a Keurig. I can't function without coffee. …

RobiComb Lice Zapping Comb Review | LiceGuard Treatments
Lice. Lice, oh, lice, oh Our house has been plagued with those nasty little critters more times that we'd like to admit. Treating lice can be extremely expensive and dangerous to your child's health if you use the traditional chemical treatments. With active kids, it's going to happen. Lice can be transferred at school, on the ball field, at church, during a sleepover, on a camping trip, at a restaurant, on the playground, through sharing hats, scarves, stuffed animals, towels, brushes, beds, your couch, carpet, or just about anywhere else your hair can go. My boys have come home…
