This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Groupon for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. This last Christmas, I did something, for the first time, I gave family members Groupon gifts for Christmas. I picked out special gifts for my husband, daughter, and mom, and it was perfect! I only wish I'd thought of using Groupon for gifts sooner. So this year, with Mother's Day coming up, I am thinking of gifts for my own mother, for close friends, and gifts that my family can give me. I headed … [Read more...]
Lollipop Bouquet for Mom
I don't know what your mom loves but I know that my mom loves candy. Not really chocolate candy but hard fruity candy. I have many memories of my mom eating candy and not being able to make it last. The loud chewing of hard candy and picking out her favorites in bags and boxes. I am positive her sweet tooth has been passed down to me. I am most likely passing it down to my daughter. [Tweet "A generational sweet tooth is a thing right? #YumEarth"] So obviously the #1 organic candy in … [Read more...]
Perfect Gift Basket for the Mom in Your Life
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SkinnyCowMoments #CollectiveBias I've mentioned before how I like to take "me-time" in the evening after everyone goes to bed. Those 1-2 hours of time alone, are hours that I crave pretty much all day long. It is a time for me to unwind and not worry about the dishes that didn't get loaded in the dishwasher, or that load of laundry that didn't get folded. It is a time to have a yummy … [Read more...]
Easy Felt Peacock Backpack Clip
My daughter and I love easy yet beautiful crafts. Working with felt is always a fun crafting medium. We found a great DIY kit from PomTree Kids - the Pillow Puffs Felt Key Chain Kit. This Woodland Critters themed felt crafting kit has a peacock, raccoon and owl that children (and their moms!) can decorate. My daughter's first pick was the felt peacock. I guess it's a "thing" to put fun key chains on the backpacks at school. So guess who'd like this beautiful felt peacock on her back pack? Yes, … [Read more...]
A Genetic Test for Prostate Cancer?
This post is sponsored by Prolaris and Myriad Genetics via Global Influence. Did you know that 1.2 million biopsies a year lead to 240,000 prostate cancer diagnoses and 30,000 deaths? I did know that prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer related death in the United States but actually seeing the numbers? Wow! That is why it is important that we all get educated about this form of cancer. I lost my grandfather to bone marrow cancer. I lost my grandmother to lung cancer. My … [Read more...]
Weleda Skin Care: Treating her Mild Eczema Naturally
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Weleda. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own. My son still gets diaper rashes, even though he is in training pants now. {When will he be potty trained, my goodness!} We've used many great natural products in the past, so I was thankful this last week that we could use a new one to us - Weleda. … [Read more...]
A Hot Spring Means Ice Cream for Dinner!
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SensitiveSmiles #CollectiveBias. Our governor has officially declared a drought here in Washington state for the first time in ten years. We've had less snow and rain than I can remember and so much beautifully warm sunshine. My kids have literally cried because the sun wouldn't get out of their eyes in the minivan. You know you are from Washington when your kids cry over the … [Read more...]
