You know what truly excites me? Watching a small business grow and thrive. It is so encouraging and inspiring to me to see small businesses – especially businesses run by mothers – learn from their customers and create quality products that are not only great for the consumer, but great for the earth as well. Bebeboo Diapers definitely hits the mark when it comes to being a company that cares about its customers, cares about its product and cares about the notion that we can change our planet by spreading education about the benefits of using reusable diapering products – and the diapers they create and truly spectacular!

Father’s Day Gift Basket for Fishermen

One of my favorite perks of living in the southern portion of Alabama is that the beautiful sandy white beaches aren’t far away at all. We’ve gotten quite spoiled by the ability to make day trips down to the Gulf, and my husband’s family loves to spend any free weekend they get fishing off of the state park pier. My husband and I used to fish together frequently before we had children, but now our time spent at the beach involves much more splashing in the waves than casting a reel. Fishing is still one of my husband’s favorite pastimes, so we made sure during our vacation this past weekend that he was able to take the time to cast his reel and enjoy his time in the outdoors.…

Hey ladies – this post is for you! I’ll be discussing a few things that are a bit more feminine and personal in nature, so if you’re a male and this sort of topic makes you uncomfortable, feel free to pass this post on to a lady in your life! 😉

Back before I had children and knew it all, there were certain things I swore I’d never do. My sister made the decision to cloth diaper her children, and it was something I initially snickered at. I’d never do that. I could not wrap my mind around the notion that anyone would take any sort of extra steps to diaper their child when we have the convenience of disposable diapers. And don’t even get my started on handling the really dirty diapers. I can look back at all of this and laugh now. Man, did I ever put my foot in my mouth on this one!

Date Night In: Pizza Party for Two

How are those New Year’s resolutions holding out for you now that we’re 5 months into 2019? I’ll be honest, I’ve been slacking a little on one or two of mine, but there’s one resolution that I haven’t been willing to budge on at all this year, and I think it’ll be a resolution that sticks around long after 2019 is over with! Quality time is my primary love language, and since becoming a mother of 2, the quality time with my husband has been becoming harder to come by. One of my top goals this year was to change that, and one simple way we’re doing that is having at least one scheduled date night each month!
