It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
Don’t want to toot my own horn, but after you cloth diaper three kids, you get a really good idea of what works and what doesn’t. So when I say that I found the BEST cloth diapers for newborns, I’m not kidding around or blowing smoke. Legit, these are the best. (And yes, I even…
Last week I read (and shared on our facebook page) this article from RealFarmacy.com and it got me thinking about how the alternatives to pads and tampons are not readily known… So many choices! I personally was unable to find a comprehensive or complete list of the best menstrual protection products available, so I compiled…
I’m not a fan of waxing my own legs. In fact, it’s one of my least favorite parts of my personal care routine. I can’t shave all the time though or I get ingrown hairs and razor bumps galore. So, waxing is a must. I used to go to Cassandra Salon and get both legs,…

Here’s the lowdown… If a Brazilian isn’t quite in your budget, consider the…

My friend recently found out she was pregnant for baby number THREE and she’s hoping to try cloth diapers this time around, to help save money. She was concerned that she was wasting a ton of money on disposables and didn’t think they were very good for the environment either! So, of course, I suggested…
This is for all you moms of kids under 3 and moms to be. If you haven’t heard of gDiapers yet, you are in for a treat! First off, I gave birth to my second child at home, in a birthing tub. My handsome baby boy was born on August 31, 2010 at 2:42am after…
We all know that breastmilk is without a doubt, what is best for babies. That’s what boobs are for afterall! These days, nursing in public is becoming less of an issue and there are many products on the market to make nursing your new little baby easier than ever. I always recommend attempting to breastfeed…
Despite the widely-publicized health benefits of breastfeeding, nearly three out of four moms quit before the recommended six-month period. While the statistic is surprising, the answer why is clear – breastfeeding can be difficult, uncomfortable and frustrating for many moms. I know it was for me with my first child! To address many breastfeeding issues,…
No matter what you’re wearing, a brilliant smile is the best accessory, which is why I’m always on the lookout for new dental care products. I’ve written before about my Sonicare toothbrush. While I love it, though, it’s not for everyone. It’s a bit of an investment, and because you must periodically purchase replacement brush heads for…

They have an adorable website filled with a huge selection of baby and kids clothing at affordable prices. Their company is based on core values of providing the highest quality of specialty clothes and service at reasonable prices and…
When I had the opportunity to interview $100 Makeover’s Leslie Segrete, I immediately asked her about a topic that’s been on my mind lately: everyday elegance. Whether it’s true or not, I have the impression that my grandmother used to entertain in refined style on a regular basis. I have visions of her serving hors…
Nearly everyone has a fond memory of their father – or grandfather – pulling out his shoe care kit, complete with a tin of KIWI shoe polish and that old rag you just knew had seen better days. Well, the world’s number one shoe care brand is playing hard and fast in today’s busy, multi-tasking…
Image From the ‘Dove Real Beauty’ Campaign “When I looked in the mirror, it was like cutting my body up into different pieces and evaluating the pieces, as if it was some sort of thing … I would really focus on different parts and then rip those parts apart, being hypercritical. It was a violent…
The new Gillette Venus Embrace has 5 blades to give you the closest shave ever. I like the Gillette Venus razors over any other brand specifically because of the rounded head and moisture strip that goes all the way around the head. I’m not a huge fan of shaving, nor am I a connoisseur on…
