Our First Halloween!

I am so excited for Wiggle Bean's first Halloween, even though we will not be going out Trick-or-Treating. I shopped for weeks for the perfect costume.  What should she be? A fairy, a princess, maybe a bunny or a lion.  After much deliberation I decided on a ladybug.  Then I started looking at  the many different ladybug...

Hot Lunch Dates Review and Giveaway CLOSED

Since having Wiggle Bean in January, my husband and I have had only one "date".

100 Followers!!!!!

I was so excited this evening when I logged in and saw that I had reached 100 followers.  I had heard of blogging but never really put much thought in to is.   After I had my baby in January, I started reading mommy blogs for advise and parenting tips and tricks.  I had so much fun reading blogs while I was on maternity leave that I decided I wanted to start my own blog.  In May I told my husband that...

Review and Giveaway: Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Cleaner CLOSED

I never really thought about the nasty chemicals in household cleaners until I became pregnant.  I became ultra sensitive to what I was using and what was in the products I used.  I try not to even think about the dollar amount, of cleaning products, that I threw away (while nesting of course) because I no longer felt they were...
