Find Out Sooner With First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test

I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for First Response. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. I remember each time I took a pregnancy test. The first time I ever took one I was in disbelief I could possibly be pregnant. I had not been married very long, and having a baby right then was not in "The Plan." The … [Read more...]

Stay Fresh this Summer with PERK

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of PERK for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.   Having three boys can sometimes be a challenge. They often try to test their limits, challenge their own, and you can only imagine the stinks and smells I've had to endure in my days and probably think I'd be immune to it by now.

Taming Wild Toddler Girl Hair With SoCozy

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SoCozy. All opinions are my own and not edited by the sponsor. Right after Lola was born and they placed her on my chest, I marveled at her hair.

Instead, she … [Read more...]

At 21 months, Lola … [Read more...]

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Emerald Coast for the first time! I've been to the gulf before but this was my first experience in the panhandle. I love all things Florida so I couldn't wait to get down there and stick my toes in the sand! Thankfully my hotel, the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Ft. Walton Beach, let me do just that! Thanks to my gulf view room I was able to see the … [Read more...]
