Origami Owl Review and Giveaway

Origami Owl Review and Giveaway About a year ago, a friend posted something on Facebook about Origami Owl. I checked it out and thought the jewelry was cute and such a fun way to showcase one’s personality. I loved that they were interchangeable and customizable.

Timbuk2 Swig Backpack

Timbuk2 Swig Backpack

When I was pregnant I really didn’t know what I wanted in a diaper bag. I didn’t care for designer brands or brightly-colored patterns. All I knew was that I wanted a bag that didn’t scream DIAPER BAG. I ran across the brand name Diaper Dude and I really liked their concepts. We registered for [...]

ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor

Our decision to try to conceive came to us quite quickly during the 2008 holiday season.

When choosing a diaper bag, there are a lot of things to consider; space, style and price are some of the most important features. I’m a huge fan of Vera Bradley, which I know not everybody is. It seems as though most people either love them or hate the brand… there isn’t much middle ground. [...]

Lunette Menstrual Cup

Lunette Menstrual Cup

Since having my daughter, I have really entered into the world of trying to live greener. We cloth diaper Anna, so I started thinking if I don’t want to use disposable products on Anna, why would I want to use disposable products for myself? I had heard about Mama Cloth and menstrual cups, so it [...]
