I was very excited to try out Gut Connection from Country Life. I have always believed a healthy gut is where you should begin when trying to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Country Life’s Gut Connection has many different products depending on what your tying to accomplish. Immune Balance, Digestive Balance, and Energy balance are just a few that they have to offer. So far, I have been using the Digestive Balance. Recently having another baby has turned my body and digestive system “upside down”. An unhealthy gut can lead to bloating, irregular bowel movements, and being just generally uncomfortable. How can I possibly get back into shape and…

Over the last few months I’ve noticed in photos how yellow and dingy my teeth are starting to look. I have always wanted to get my teeth professionally whitened but never took the plunge. I have tried several at home cheaper options like the strips that never stay in place or fit properly, whitening pens that were useless, and even the LED lights but none of them seemed to work. I’m a daily coffee drinker and like to also enjoy a glass of red wine or two and I know over the years these have been my main culprit. As a mom of a toddler, and expecting our second little…

Are you a seasonal allergy sufferer like me? This time of year is not particularly my favorite and my eyes tend to be my worst symptom. Itchy, watery, red eyes are the absolute worst, especially when you wear contacts…am I right? We took our son Porter to this zoo this past weekend, and my allergies were off the charts, so I found this to be the perfect time to try out these eye drops. I liked that this company offered single use droppers, so I didn’t always have to have a whole bottle in my purse. I threw a couple in my car, purse, diaper bag, so I had some…

I wanted to find something special to give to our son Porter when his sister is born in May. I had heard about these personalized books from Hooray for Heroes, so I decided to check them out. They have so many cute options to choose from whether its for your child’s birthday, adventures with their sibling, twins, holiday editions, or what they want to be when he or she grows up! We decided to choose the sibling book, and also use this book to reveal our daughters name to our family and friends. I wanted this book to help Porter better understand that he’s about to become a big brother…

Trying to find the perfect sippy cup or training cup can be challenging. You want one that is going to keep the contents from spilling out (we all know we can’t trust a toddler to not spill), teach them the proper way to drink out of a big kid cup, and maybe even keep the contents cold? Then there is the dilemma, do I start with a straw cup? Spout? 360? It’s honestly up to the child to feel out what’s best for them. Porter ended up finding the 360 cup easiest to use so we stuck with that. We like to take long day trips on the weekends and…

Does your little babe like to toss their food and/or plates when their done eating too or is this just something my son likes to do on occasion? Either way we had to find a solution to this phase he has been going through lately. The Nuby Sure Grip tableware is my favorite go to. It’s designed to be easy to use, clean and suctions to the table or highchair. The plate seals to the tabletop to make self feeding less messy and disastrous! It also has 4 sections, two ½ cup portions and two ¼ portions to make it easy to separate foods. Even though lately my son is…

Finally, the light at the end of the cold and flu season tunnel. As winter comes to an end and our sniffles and coughs start to fade, I wanted to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and experience with an all-natural product I came across called Bucklebury Soothing Syrup for throat, sinus, and bronchi support. Typically, my colds are pretty manageable without any help, but this year with being pregnant and chasing a toddler around my immune system took a plunge. I don’t like taking any of the usual over the counter medications, and while being pregnant you are limited to your choices anyways. When I was presented with…

As a busy full-time working mom with a toddler who can be hard to please when it comes to food, it can be even more difficult to whip up quick and easy nutritional meals when I get home from work. Most nights I barely get home in time for dinner, let alone have time to prepare a full meal that doesn’t consist of mac n cheese or leftovers. I did some research and I came across this brilliant company called Raised Real. They deliver right to your door step ready to make flash frozen, organically-sourced, baby-ready meals developed by nutrition experts. These meal pouches contain clean ingredients with nutritional value…

Bath time hasn’t always been my sons favorite thing. Up until he was about 6 months old he would scream and cry the entire time we gave him a bath. We thought to ourselves, how could we make this more enjoyable for him? … Insert bath toys. Nuby has a bunch of great bath time toys to choose from. We started incorporating different ones from bath books, floating boats, to these little squirts. He slowly started to enjoy bath time more, and soon enough it became something enjoyable for him. He just loves getting squirted with water by these lovable Little Squirts characters. The Little Squirts come with 10 cute floating…
