As a Mom of a new little one, I must say one of my favorite things is finding something that is a “Must-Have“ for my baby that turns out to be treasured for it‘s comfort and cuteness. Finding a company that makes cute baby hats that are also organic is priceless!

When we were asked to try out a hat from Beanie Designs I jumped on it!  Once you look at their catalog you will be just as excited as I was, and just as torn between which one to pick.

I finally gave in and let my eight year old son decide which was best and I was very pleased at his choice. As you can see, my baby boy looks adorable in his little frog hat!

I was impressed at the shipping time and mostly the quality of workmanship and the softness of the yarn used. I will definitely be back to www.beaniedesigns.com to keep my sweet baby in fun hats year round!

Disclosure: Beanie Designs sent the hat mentioned to us to review and tell you about. All opinions are my own and completely honest. You can read our full disclosure policy here.

As a mom, sleep is desperately important. I’m up early and go to bed very late most days so I love to be comfortable when I get in bed. Recently I was sent the ProActive Comfort Pillow from Sleep Studio and I LOVE it!!!

Not only is it far more earth friendly (thanks to the use of plant based ingredients), but it smells and feels wonderful! Yes, smells … they use a green tea formula in the product (and I personally thought it smelled of mint with a slight hint of lavender and eucalyptus, which I love) that is so refreshing.

If we want to get all technical (which I won’t really), this pillow uses ViscoFresh Memory Foam which allows air to circulate (regulates body temperature which is so nice) and instantly conforms. It’s contoured to be super comfortable for both back and side sleepers (I can attest to the fact that it’s even comfy for stomach sleepers since I often sleep on my stomach).

Sleep Studio offers some great pillow and mattress products that are only available online so be sure to hop over to www.SleepStudio.com to see all they have.  Personally, I’m checking out their line of mattress toppers (Blueflex Cool Top to be specific) and the Coco Pillow which is specifically for stomach sleepers.

If you’re looking for a great pillow that will last a long time, is extremely comfortable, will not break the bank and  is much greener and healthier, you definitely want to check out the ProActive Comfort Pillow from Sleep Studio!You will love it!

Disclosure: Sleep Studio sent me a ProActive Comfort Pillow to try (and keep) for myself. All statements made here are honest and my own, I will not present a product I do not love. Please feel free to read through my policies here.

When I was contacted about Angela Moore‘s line of brilliant jewelry, I was giddy with excitement.  As the mom of boys, anything pretty and fun is great by me!  One of the things I love about this jewery is that it isn’t “stuck up” for lack of a better term.  It’s unique, bright, bold, creative and beautiful…all at the same time.

But even better, the line offers a couple of pieces that support causes that I am 100% behind!  You all know how I feel about Ovarian Cancer research and supporting it (my Aunt died of Ovarian cancer 4 years ago) but I’m also a supporter of Breast cancer awareness!  When I received both a Breast Cancer bracelet and an Ovarian Cancer bracelet, I was stunned, they are so beautiful and I just couldn’t decide which one to wear first.

Angela Moore products are hand painted and one of a kind and the quality is second to none! Here’s a little more information for you:

One of the simplest ways to start going green is to start using your own reusable grocery totes instead of the plastic grocery bags they offer in the store.

I’m always looking for greener, healthier products for my family.

I don’t often have an opportunity to review food, but this was definitely fun!

I’m very excited to introduce you to Friends Forever Girls – a great line of girls products that encourage friendship and build character and community! They offer a complete line of beautiful dolls, great books, accessories and more.

The Dolls: These dolls truly are beautiful.

Chore charts and accomplishment charts are always a great idea, but finding one for littler people can definitely be a huge challenge.

I LOVE giving my nieces (yup, even the one on the way) pretty girly things.
