Every once in a while I really open up to you guys and get (probably) too personal. One of my very first posts was about my home water birth with my youngest daughter. I am not sure if I have really mentioned it before, but my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. My husband and I had only been married for a couple of months and were thrilled. When we found out we lost the baby, it was extremely hard. In fact, it was not confirmed for about a month which was very hard on us.

I am not a big makeup person in the sense that I do not do a full face of makeup everyday. But one thing that I do nearly every day is wear lipstick. I just feel like it makes my face pop and I enjoy wearing it. I learned about LipSense from a friend of mine, Kara, who happens to sell it. She told me that it lasts entire day – if not longer. I am constantly reapplying lipstick so this sounded like something that would save me lots of time. She sent me some to try out and boy, did it make a difference!

I love getting professional photos of my daughters done. We have a wall of family photos in our home and I enjoy replacing them every now and then as the girls get older. Last holiday season, we got our photos done at Portrait Innovations and they turned out amazing, so I was thrilled when they invited us back for some Spring photos. They do a fantastic job – and will be our go-to place for family photos for sure.

You may not realize that a newborn baby needs around sixteen to twenty hours sleep every day. If your baby is to get the sleep that they need, they have to be placed in an environment where they are secure. This does not just involve providing the right crib for your child; you also need to put a lot of thought into buying the right crib mattress. In this article, we are going to take a look at which crib mattresses you can choose from. We are also going to provide you with some advice that you should find useful when you are buying a crib mattress for your child.

Every day millions of people hit the road on their way to their destination. Unfortunately, in that same day, car accidents abound all over the country. While some are small fender benders, others end up being fatal. Teen drivers are especially at risk of getting in an auto accident due to their lack of driving experience. As a parent, it is our job to ensure they are well prepared when driving on the road. This is not only for their safety, but the safety of their passengers and other drivers on the road.

Amwell is a Telehealth Company You Can Trust! As a mom I know we often neglect ourselves and I also know how hard it can be to get to the doctor’s office.

I was recently lucky enough to try Bye Bye Pores Pressed from IT Cosmetics and I fell in love right away. This stuff is amazing! It is a new take on their best-selling Bye Bye Pores, which is a translucent, loose formulation that works to prevent shine (and visible pores) with just a few buffs with a brush. It is easy to use, lasts a long time, and works great! I was super impressed – immediately.

I have just recently started getting back in to makeup – and the addiction has come right back with it! I love actually putting time in to myself again – I definitely didn’t for the first couple years after having my daughters. While getting back in to the makeup thing I have discovered IT Cosmetics and I have fallen in love (Read one review here). So when I found out they were releasing a brand new, limited edition only, one-time-only set, well, I had to get my hands on one! Within this set are two new launches – the Naturally Pretty Face Palette and Celebration Foundation SPF50 – as well as the top-selling Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer and Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush. The worldwide launch of this set will only be available for 24 hours, starting NOW (12:01am on June 8, 2015) at an incredible deal. It is called It’s All About You! and is a Four-Piece Customer Favorites Collection! It gives you the power to look and feel like your most beautiful you! This set is debuting on QVC® Value® (ET). Every day, QVC picks the best find of the day that they believe shoppers will love and offers it at an extra special value.

This Memorial Day I wanted to write a little bit about my husband. He is a United States Navy Veteran – and has been in two wars. He lived on a submarine, which can be extremely hard because it is small and cramped – and you might not see the sun for months at a time. Can you imagine that? I sure can’t. It would drive me insane for sure! I think he deserves some recognition today for a few reasons.

As I hit a year of blogging, I have had a lot of friends and fellow bloggers ask me how. Just how do I get big items (carseats, play kitchens, SodaStream, the latest and greatest toys). The short answer is hard work and dedication. But the long answer is detailed below.
