We first started using Umi Shoes last summer. It was in the fall though that Gavin found a pair of shoes that were going to be a permanent part of his wardrobe and lead us into months of arguments. He loved his Reeve boots and wore them everywhere. No matter if they went with the outfit or not. At first we thought it was a matter of convenience. His $100 sneakers had laces and maybe it was a … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – Sawyers Nursery Theme!

It wasn't a need and I was still in need of so many things. I got over my pouting and focused on the … [Read more...]
Shout Color Catcher with Oxi for Laundry! Review & Giveaway! TWO Winners!
I wish laundry was always simple. That you could put dirty clothes in and pull clean clothes out. Sadly, it's so much more complicated then that. You have to sort it, separate things, and watch your colors and fabrics. To try and make life easier instead of sorting by colors I sort by person in our house. This way putting it away is easier.
