The Easiest Garden You'll Ever Grow w/ Leaf'd Subscription Box - #Review

As you all know I am always trying to find creative ways to garden and especially with the kiddos.  Not only do I love growing my own foods but I love teaching my children the importance of being self sufficient.  Gardening is one of the easiest ways to do so!  However, not everyone has a green thumb and some don't even know where to start.  So when I discovered Leaf'd Box, I knew it was something I wanted to share with all my family, neighbors, and readers.

4 Facts about Water Treatment

*Read my Disclosure

                    Water treatment and purification are integral to the functioning of the modern world. Not only do people need clean water for drinking and washing, they also use water for a variety of industrial capacities. Because water is a finite resource, it must be recycled and reused, which means it must be cleaned after each use. Here are four facts about water treatment.

A New Kind of Healthy w/ CBD Living - Review

This post has been kind of a complicated one for me to write because I am still in the process of learning of the CBD industry, the many benefits, and the technology/science behind it all.  It's taken me a very, VERY long time to come around to this industry and the idea that CBD is a very beneficial ingredient.  After seeing what it has done for both my sister and a close friend of mine, I began my research.

Waterhawk™ Smart Showerhead is Our Home Superhero

We recently moved into a new home and like anyone, we have begun making lots of changes to make the house "our home".  However, we aren't just personalizing it to be our own.  We knew this was our forever home which we were going to make as self sustainable and efficient as we could.  There are literally pages to our project list for each area of the house but we knew we wanted to start in the most "used" area of the home - the bathrooms.  Between having a houseful of boys and being a family of five, we feel our bathrooms are a key part of our home.  

Healthy Home Updates Made Easy w/ Brondell

For most people, their home is where they spend their most valuable time.  So being that we recently moved into a new home, we have been working hard to not only make it our own but to improve every aspect of our lives here.  Being an older home, it's outdated and in need of some desperate updates.  The previous owners were very inexperienced and did not take great care of some of the key areas of the home.  We knew we would have our work cut out for us and there are literally pages to our project list.

Big Barker Beds for my Biggest Fur Babies

I am pretty sure I've said this a thousand times but to me, pets are family.  They dedicate their lives to us and in return, we owe it to them to equally treat them with the same love and respect.  We have a house full of animals that we love and our lives surround them.  It's for this reason, that our pets even have their own room as well as places all over the house that they can feel comfortable.  

Warm Up with Stash Tea Lemon Ginger K-cups Review and #Giveaway

Kevin and I have always been big coffee drinkers which is the reason for owning a pod maker in the first place.  Hot beverages are just easier to make in these types of machines especially for families like ours with different taste preferences.  Even though when I used to think of tea, it meant loose leaf or at the very least bags.  However, now it's easy with the single brew K-cups and definitely a lot less messy or complicated to whip up.

ArmoGear is This Years Top #HolidayGift for Everyone You Know! #HGG #GiftGuide

I have always heard crazy stories about my Dad's childhood (having four boys in their family) as well as the shenanigans that my husband and his twin brother always got into.  I knew having four children would keep me constantly on my toes and on the go, although not quite the extent.  Now having my own (3) boys, I understand something I never did before.  Boys are a whole different level of craziness and energy!!

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than Virgil's Soda

Enjoy a Healthy Reed's Ginger Brew This Summer

When people come over our house, most know there are two products you are unlikely to find which I rarely allow in my house.  One being Pop (soda for you non michiganders), which is just terrible in my eyes.  I have just decided I want to limit the amount of sugar and caffeine I allow my family to consume.  Not only are most traditional sodas loaded with tons of bad ingredients, they are made using poor quality ingredients as well.  And if you've ever watched the videos on how to clean with coke, you should be terrified of what it's doing to your body like I sure am!

How To Improve Indoor Air Quality During the Summer

*Read my Disclosure

During the summer, you want to make sure your home or business has adequate ventilation. HVAC system needs to work properly so that you can properly cool the area, but a comfortable building involves much more than simply bringing in cool air. You also need to make sure indoor air quality is optimized. Various pollutants and contaminants can enter the air, and they can make the hot season unbearable. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can improve indoor air quality in your building.

Psyched for Summer

My entire family is very active throughout the year but especially in the summer.  We use any excuse we can find to spend time outdoors which also includes a lot of outdoor activities like sports and camping.  We especially enjoy tailgating and entertaining of any kind as you might already know.  That being said, I've got several products we've already made sure we have on hand to get our Summer started off the right way!

All Natural Olbas Herbal Remedies Penn Herb Company

I know I've mentioned this before but I am one of "those" people,  I am ALWAYS sick!  It doesn't matter what season it is.  I seem to have passed all of these "issues" down to my children as now there is always someone in my household who is sick whether it's a cold or sinuses and allergies.  With all the health problems my family has, I am always looking for alternatives to the traditional medicines I am normally forced to load my loved ones up.  This is why I've fallen in love with Olbas Oil products!

Happy Pets From the Inside Out

I have tried to make a change in every part of my families life to be more healthy and green.  I never really factored in our pets at first but realistically, they are family too.  I would never exclude them from anything else so why wouldn't I try to move them into a more organic lifestyle?  They deserve to eat healthy and live long great lives too!

Our Sick Day Survival Kit #SickJustGotReal w/ Pfizer Pediatric Platform Products

This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare and 20th Century Fox. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

When my kids get sick, I tend to feel helpless.  I try to make them as comfortable as I can.  When the kids are in school and the weather is as terrible as it is lately, it seems they are crawling with germs.  In certain climates (like Michigan) you can have a drastic change from one day (or even hour) to the next making it hard to plan for when it comes to clothing and outerwear especially when sending them off to school. This is the exact reason I've got my own special go-to sick day survival kit.

Beessential Natural Skin and Body Care Products Review and #Giveaway

     I am generally a very low maintenance chick (at least in my eyes, lol).  I very rarely have makeup on and usually throw my hair up in a ponytail.  When it comes to beauty products, I am very particular about what I use and in several ways.  It's very important to me that I know essentially what I am using as well as my family.  I want my family to live a healthier and cleaner lifestyle without all the terrible things we rely on and add into our bodies.
