Treat Diaper Rash Effectively with Boudreaux's Butt Paste

This post brought to you by Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine. Boudreaux's Butt Paste - catchy name, effective diaper rash treatment! I can remember when Braxton was still in diapers, he had a horrible rash that we could not get rid of.  Of all people, my dad was on a mission to save the bottom, so he set out in search of new diaper rash creams to bring to us. At that point, I'd never heard of Boudreaux's Butt Paste, but when he brought that cute little tube in, we all had a hearty laugh at the name, and…

Monopoly Deal – Great Game for Preteens and Teens

Are you looking for a new, fun, game to play with your preteen?  Look no further than Monopoly Deal.  Before Christmas, I won this game from a giveaway on The Mama Report, and this has been a go-to game for us just about everyday! The object of the game is to get three full property sets to win, but Kylie and I take it a step further.  This game can be fast paced (and quickly over, if you're looking for something fast!), so what we do is keep score by adding all of our accumulated money and properties together at…

Is there a Black Ops Widow Etiquette or Code of Ethic?

By now, most women with gamer husbands have become a Call of Duty Black Ops Widow. Definition - Black Ops Widow A woman who has lost those cozy, cuddly nights with her husband or significant other to the Call of Duty game, Black Ops. I am one of them. Last night, while Andy was knee deep in only 1 or 2 occasional kills (yes, he's THAT good. pfft.), I was sitting on the couch playing agame on my phone.  Every so often, I had a question, or a thought, and in order for him to answer me, he had to fumble for…

Meatless Monday for the unskilled and uncreative chefs!

Andy and I have talked about Meatless Monday several times, but we've never buckled down and start having meals without meat on Mondays. Why?  Well, there's a lot of times, throughout the week that we'll have meatless meals, so we never really had a need to pick a specific day. Next week, we're going to designate Mondays as meatless.  If there happens to be another day or two of the week that falls into the meatless category, so be it. I've been thinking about getting the Meatlover's Meatless Cookbook, and then I ran across this site, through MyPoints or something,  called…

Pregnant? Have a Droid Device? Cool Pregnancy Ticker App!

As a labor doula, one of the things I look for from time to time are cool apps for pregnant women. This morning, I stumbled upon a free pregnancy ticker app called Pregly.  Apparently, it's only available for Droid phones,  but if you're a Droidy like me, you'll love it! Although I don't need it, I decided to install it to my phone to see what it was all about.  The first fabulous thing that won me over was the fact that at the very beginning, it recognized MIDWIVES as a provider (please consult your dr. or midwife)! Very rarely,…

Wow! I didn’t know there were so many cloth diaper detergents!

There are tons of Cloth Diaper Detergents! So I'm surfing through Amazon for something relevant.  I don't know what - maybe I'm just in procrastination mode - not sure. I decided to see if Rockin' Green Cloth Diaper Detergents was sold on Amazon (of course it is!), and after I got my answer, I justdecided to search Cloth Diaper Detergent. WOW! To my surprise, there were TONS of matches to my search!  I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew that there were a lot, but having them all listed in one place was a little on the overwhelming side.…
