Jammie Stroll
A Mothers Bedtime Success
This past week I read an article in a magazine that spoke of various ways to resolve challenges with toddlers, including bedtime. For the most part our nearly 5 year old does ok with bedtime routine, but it does appear over the past few weeks that our household needs to focus a bit more on a wind down routine for her sake…and momma and daddy’s! The one thing that jumped off the page of the story and into my heart was the “Pajama Stroll.” We implemented this new ...

They sent me one to sample and it traveled with me to Jamaica last week, and now I am sold! I kid you not, they are a new staple in our travel items!

Gorton's Seafood Review and Giveaway
A Step in the Right Direction
A couple weeks ago I had the awesome chance to try out and review Gorton's Seafood for free. Three lucky winner will also get the chance! When it came time to hit the market I finally had something fun to look for. I am not a big shopper and actually missed it in the aisles of SaveMart but ALAS! the cashier came to the rescue!
