I knew I wanted a new mattress but I had no idea where to start. How did I know I needed a new mattress? Well, when you wake up in the morning and you hurt all over and your back won't even straighten when you try to walk away from the bed... it's a big sign. I'm just 34 years old and I'm NOT ready to feel like that every single morning. So I knew I needed a new mattress, but that was as far as I had gotten into my decision. A quick search of Google let me know that memory foam mattresses were very highly recommended so I went straight to the top reviewed companies which is where I found Yogabed. I knew I couldn't go smaller than our … [Read more...]

5 Reasons I Buy Organic Foods at Walmart
While the super store might not be the first to come to your mind when it comes to shopping organic, it definitely should be and here's the reasons I buy organic foods at Walmart. This post has been sponsored by Stonyfield Organic. All opinions are my own. It's no secret that I live in a very rural area of East Tennessee. I've shared that fact quite a few times and it always comes up when I talk about choosing green and organic options for my family. It's true that most of our grocery stores are just now starting to carry organic products and alternative food choices like gluten and vegan options. While I've been aware of the foods my family should and shouldn't be eating for awhile now, it seems that a lot of people in my small town are just now starting to have the non-GMO conversation. It's just not talked about here, or … [Read more...]

That's one reason I've been stocking the pantry and refrigerator with healthy snack ideas for me. While the girls are totally welcome to dig into my organic blueberries, … [Read more...]
6 Benefits of Taking Probiotics Daily That Might Surprise You
There are many benefits of taking probiotics daily including aiding digestion, but did you realize there are even more benefits to this healthy habit? You may remember that I shared last month that I started taking a probioitic daily to help with some health issues that are starting to surface. While I don't want to admit that I'm getting older, I am, and with that comes the need for some help along the way. Probiotics don't just come in capsule form to take with your breakfast. The bacteria is in your gut from the time you were born. The problem is, we don't often have enough of these good bacteria in our body. Because of refrigeration and dangerous agricultural practices, our common foods contain little to no probiotics. And if you don’t have enough probiotics in your gut, it's likely that you'll see side effects that can … [Read more...]

Did you watch April the Giraffe on Facebook Live at all over the past couple of months? I admit I was just as intrigued as the rest of the world and would check up on the famous giraffe every few days. I made sure to include the girls in the conversation too as they love animals, like most kiddos do. They even had an up close and personal encounter with a couple of giraffes at a local zoo a couple of years ago. We enjoy visiting the zoo because it's such a learning experience. While it's great to be able to see these lovely animals on your phone at home, there's a whole other experience seeing them up close and in … [Read more...]

Confidence, Family Time, and more... Here are 5 reasons why kids should play sports and a free Game Day Snacks printable. This post has been sponsored by Goldfish. All opinions are my own. I always knew I wanted my children to play sports. I played softball and basketball when I was younger and I feel like I learned so much about life and myself in those early years even though I might not have known it then.

10 Fun Sea Turtle Facts for Kids + DIY Sea Turtle Craft
The best way to teach your children about endangered animals is to get hands on! Check out these 10 fun sea turtle facts for kids plus how to make your own sea turtle craft that floats! This post was inspired by a collaboration with EnviroKidz. All opinions on the cuteness of sea turtles are my own. This post may contain affiliate links. My kids, like almost every other kid on Earth, love animals. They even love the gross ones because, well, they don't know they're gross yet. And they really love the ones they don't see often - like sharks, pandas, monkeys, and sea turtles, which just happen to be animals that they often see on their favorite EnviroKidz cereal boxes and snacks. Oh yes, sea turtles have always been fascinating to both of my girls. I think cute little Crush from Finding Nemo played a big part in that. To get our … [Read more...]
Here’s Why I’m Starting a Routine of Taking a Probiotic Daily
As we age, it's important to be more proactive about our health. Here's why I'm starting a routine of taking a probiotic daily and why you should too. This is a sponsored post for which I’ve received free product and/or compensation, but the opinions are 100% my own. While I feel healthy at this point in my life, something is definitely going on within my body that I've decided it's time to figure out. I was recently diagnosed with perioral dermatitis by my Dermatologist. It came as a shock because I have never really had skin issues, even in my teenage years. I've also noticed that I've been developing some other minor symptoms that when added up, become significant issues. While I attributed some of them to aging [oh my - aren't I too young to use that statement?!], I know that some are more than likely due to my diet and … [Read more...]
When Can Babies Eat Yogurt?
Do you find yourself wondering when can babies eat yogurt? This article is for you! Here's why your baby should be eating organic yogurt as early as 6 months. This post was created in partnership with Stonyfield. All opinions are my own. I remember when my baby was a YoBaby… in fact, both of them! As a young, first-time Mom I read all the books and followed all the “rules”. I knew babies weren’t supposed to have milk before age 1 and I assumed yogurt was the same since it's made from dairy. I was wrong. While introducing first foods into a baby’s diet can be exciting, it’s also a stressful time for parents. In research Stonyfield conducted with ORC International*, they found out that at least one-third of parents admit to feeding confusion during baby’s first months, and 53% feel overwhelmed by the varying opinions on early … [Read more...]
