When you have a baby life does not stop. Dinner needs to get made, housework is waiting, but when baby is fussy you have to stop and make them happy. Babywearing is a way you can keep doing the things in life that have to done but keep baby close and happy. Babywearing allows you to bond with baby and have your hands free. I know babywearing has saved the day may times over Chris' life. He just turned three and still has days he goes up. If you are new to babywearing it is hard to know where to start. I like to suggest to new moms to try out a stretchy wrap, like Wrapy  babywrap. A stretchy baby wrap is comfortable for baby and mommy and because you wrap and tie the wrap on they work for any body type and they grow with your baby. This gives you the most bang for your buck. Check out the video bellow for more info on Wrapy Babywrap. For more info on how to tie a stretchy baby wrap check out my how to video on this past blog post.   The Wrapy Babycarie...

I always talk about how important it is to drink water. One of the ways it is easy to get your water in is to keep a great water bottle handy. For me  glass bottle or stainless steel bottle give the best clean flavor. Glass and a toddler is not always a great mix, they can get broken and can be heavy. Stainless steel is a great way to have  clean flavor without the worry of breaking. 

I don't know about you but my little one loves to pull on things when he is breastfeeding. Most of the time this means my hair. I have tired holding his hand and while this is sweet and nice, most time he will not hold onto my hand for long. So how do you get your baby to stop pulling your hair? Well one mama came up with a cute idea. How about a fun necklace that baby can hold onto instead?!

I love using essential oils in place of perfume but don't like using them from the bottles they come in because it makes them hard to apply. I also like being able to mix my own oils to come up with my own signature scent. Roller bottles like the ones from 2PM  are a great way to mix your own oils and apply them easily. They come is different color choices so you can find one that fits your style. I like using a colored or frosted glass bottle because it helps keep the oil fresh longer.

Do you want to give your child a special gift for Valentines that they can enjoy all year long? Check out the special Valentine's Day Book and sticker set by I See Me! This book puts your child and the people who love them inside, for a truly one of a kind gift.

Man life is stressful. You know it is. It might be the best thing in the world but it is also stressful. So how to we relieve some of that stress? I have found that one days that I am just really overwhelmed I like to take a warm bath and put a warm compress over my eyes. Well I have started to use Zenik Eye Mask . This eye mask can be used hot or cold, and it is not made of rice like other are. This one is made from Lavender Flowers and Organic Flax Seed. The lavender is a great way to relieve some stress, and  inflammation . So on top of it helping to calm you down, it always calms down the bags under my eyes!  The material of this is a  beautiful  purple silk. 

I love to cook and use fresh ingredients. But one thing I have always hated was when something called for fresh citrus juice. (lemon, lime, orange). What I found out was that I didn't hate juicing. But that I hated my juicer. I had a cheap plastic juice squeezer/juicer that I got at Wal-Mart because I thought they were all the same. I couldn't have been more wrong! When I tried a real metal juicer/squeezer I was shocked at how much easier it was and how much more juice I got. More juice meant that I had to buy less fruit to get that juice and I got what I needed in less time. Who doesn't want to save time and money?!

I was given the chance to try this stroller organizer by Spark and Bee . I was excited to try it because I have yet to find an organizer that is a good fit for my Baby Jogger City Mini.

Mirror Mirror on the counter how I love and hate you most of all. No really I get it 5 stars it really is a great mirror. I love that it has a normal side and a 10x magnifying side. It is 7 incs so it is a great size without taking up to much room. It is a nice sliver, very shinny sliver color. I am not a gold fan so I loved it. It is great for putting on makeup. Like the best thing I have ever used. I use the normal size for the foundation and eye shadow but then I flip it over when I need to do my eye liner. I don't think I have ever gotten my eye liner on right before now. I am keeping this mirror and no one can take it away from me!

Basil! I did not even know they made an essential oil for basil. What would I use it for? Well used my favorite "The Essential Life" book to look up it is can be used for. Here are just a few way you can use it/mix it with other oils: earache migraine nausea and cramping emotional balance

I remember as a kid I loved having glow in the dark stars and planets. So I was really excited to get this really cute looking  Kids Solar System bundle . It comes with stars and planets and three star shaped suckers and a telescope. The suckers where great. Well that is what my kids say, I did not really try it. They where bring and colorful. However if you have kids that freak out if a treat breaks be very careful with them. I dropped on trying to open it and it shattered everywhere. My son did not mind, in fact we just told him get got to get more now that there are more pieces.

I get headaches all the time. In fact I think it might even be migrants. I have been told it is because of my eyes, they take in to much light at times.... Well and I have kids. I love them don't get me wrong but I am sure they add to my headache. So what do you do? How about a nice old compress over your eyes.... yeah that helped. Then add some nice lavander smell to help calm you down too. Luxury Hot / Cold Eye Mask By Karmick  has really helped me with my headaches. Now I need to say right now that I am not a doctor and while this does help me I am not saying it will help you. But there is some true with lavender helping to calm you. After all they put that in the baby bed time body wash and lotions. 

Over all I have never thought about my eyebrows much. I mean they are ok I have never had them waxed and only plucked a few random hairs. So When I was asked to review some eyebrow growth serum, I started thinking about. So this is my eyebrows. They are ok, I like them. But if you have thinner ones you might want to look into getting  Luxe Beauty Brows Eyebrow Growth Serum .

As some of you might remember I did a review about some really cool  color changing nail polish from Del Sol . Well now I get to talk about there really cool color changing sunglasses! Yep Del Sol sells a ton of color changing things, even shirts, jewelry, hats and so much more. Now then back to the Sunglasses. I picked out the Solize Sunglasses - All Summer Long - White to Purple. In this picture you can see they are a little purple already.... no they are white but I had just put them on and got in the car. While they don't take a whole lot in the car it is because my car has UV tinted windows so you are not getting the sunlight that you need. But once you really go out in the sun!

Do you want to make bath time more fun for your kids? Turn that bath into a relaxing retreat for mom? Are you in dire need of a shower but waiting for an important call? What do theses things have in common? They an all be solved with the  SpeakStick . This cool Bluetooth speaker is waterproof and has a microphone so you can take calls on it! 

Well my baby is now 5 years old. It was his first real party and I did not know where to start. It did not help that he kept changing him mind on what kind of party he wanted. After awhile he said batman and we told him that was it and he could not change his mind. But where do we start from there? That is when you turn to  Birthday in a Box .

My son just turned 5 last week and he is my art kid. He love to color, draw, paint, play with play dough and so much more! So when I gave him a  Spiral Art Design Center  he was on cloud 9!

I have never had a baby monitor before. I know three kids and no monitor! What was I thinking? Well I can tell you now, get one even if you think you will not use it, because you will. I have the  Snug Baby Monitor for Smartphones . When I first got it, it was a pain to get started. Ok it was not that bad but you have to hook it up to the modem, so I got my hubby to do it. Once that is done it is as easy as plugging it in and turning the app on. It does take a few minutes to come on all the way. You will know it is working if the green light on the bottom is flashing. I have found that I hate that green little light at night. There is no way to turn it off. Once it comes on it rotates around to make sure its working. Then you can just swipe your phone left, right, up or down to make the camera move. There are also two great modes you can use, day or night time. This way you can see when your little one is sleeping. It also has autio where not only can you hear your little ones...
