Getting Rid of Germs with safeHands

June 8, 2013 by Kat 14 Comments

As a parent, I'm always looking out when my kids go outside to play, and touch different objects. Germs are everywhere, and I want to be sure that my child is as safe as can be. My two year old has an immune deficiency so its really tough on us since he is sick all the time. I try to keep him safe from all the nasty germs that I can. It's always nice to have an antibacterial hand wash on hand when we're on the go, or even at home. It's always nice to find new products to try out and find new go-to items. I reviewed SafeHands and SafeSquirts soothing alcohol free sanitizers. They're great for every day use. The SafeHands is a … [Read more...]

June 5, 2013 by Kat 18 Comments

Pregnancy is one of the sweetest times in any woman's life. To know that she's growing a life inside of her is both amazing, exciting, and frightening. One thing that we have to remember, is that keeping ourselves fit should be one of the most important things. Even when we eat correctly, and exercise, we still have that little bit of weight that just doesn't want to budge! I was asked to review a DVD and a book from BeFit-Mom. Their website will guide you through exercising and eating right through pregnancy, and after. You can even buy the DVD and book through their website as well. I like easy it is to navigate. You can find … [Read more...]

I have always been the type of person who wears their heart on their sleeve and their beliefs on their face. Cigarettes have always been that kind of issue for me that everyone can tell I am against them. Probably 90 percent of my family over 18 smoke. Actually that may be higher since while I am typing this I can only think of myself, my husband, my dad, and my grandmother who do not smoke. I was always made fun of growing up because I smelled like smoke. It didn't matter how often my clothes were washed because my mom and older sisters smoked and it just permeated everything. I fully believe that most people smoke because it is what … [Read more...]

Adding Some Garden with Del Monte #AddSomeGarden

December 28, 2012 by Kat 513 Comments

When I was growing up we ate a ton of vegetables. It wasn't really because my family was health conscious, it was more that canned veggies are cheaper than meat and I grew up very poor. I tried to pass the love of veggies on to my children but it only stuck with one of them. Baby E loves all types of vegetables and many types of fruits. So far the only vegetable he doesnt eat is asparagus and that could honestly just be the way I make it. He hates oranges but loves orange juice so I think its a texture thing. Little M has to be persuaded into eating anything healthy. I try to make at least two vegetables with each meal besides … [Read more...]
