I did not grow up with meal prepping. My family adopted the habit of cooking very large meals, and then eating the leftovers for days after from the fridge. For the record I still do this from time to time, and I have no problem with it. As a mom who also works full time, having the time to cook fresh meals every day is impossible. Of course there's also the issue of feeling bored with the same meal day in and day out, right? Well I know I can't stop cooking meals in large qu

So, to start out this odd recommendation, I have to explain a little bit. The reason I even know about this toothbrush brand, at all, was due to my sister in law's mom. She came to visit us a while ago, and among the really sweet gifts she brought were these toothbrushes. It might be considered a strange thing to bring and to give someone you're just meeting, but I did not think anything of it. I'm happy to get any sort of gift! Then I used the toothbrush, and immediately und

Baby Trend Expedition® Race Tec™ jogging stroller. This stroller is amazing, hands down. For the casual stroller user, who is NOT an avid Disneyland visitor, this stroller will do for just about anything else you would need one for. Unfortunately they don't allow this wheel type at Disneyland, so we would need to find a different stroller for that, if we were to go. I've taken my son on walks around my neighborhood with this, and also to many different stores. We have used th

Skin care is important. Much of the industry has become insanely chemical heavy. You'd think that would mean they've found ways to improve our skin care. From my own experience with skincare, it has not. Now I'm not going to bore you with an entire skincare journey, but I will say that I have very sensitive, and often times itchy skin. On my face, and scalp, especially. Hair/scalp care is another journey I'll get into later. I heard about beef tallow being used as a natural t

This thing is a BEAST!         I will begin by saying that I got this machine as a gift, and it has been one of the best things to land in my kitchen since my crock pot. It has surpassed my crock pot, honestly. I LOVE this thing!         I have to admit that I have not yet used the recipes in the book. I like to cook what I like, so I just go to the cooking references for approximate times and temperatures. Sometimes I just estimate on my own with no reference at all. So far,

Encompass Farming Lip Balm Do you struggle to find the perfect lip balm for your daily needs? One that actually keeps your lips feeling soft and is safe to smooch your baby with? I have tried nearly everything available in stores from Lip Smackers on up the line to the more pricey stuff. All of the following balms have failed me. *Carmex (squeeze tube) type is okay, and I typically have it on hand. However, it is not as conditioning (or lasting). I do not want to kiss my

Most babies need a bottle warmer at some point, right? We went through about 3. We got the original type that you put a bit of water in, and it makes steam, or boils the water to warm the bottle. Then we got one that circulates air to warm the bottle.          Unfortunately, with both types, we had situations that caused the bottles to leak into the internal components from time to time, which is a big hassle for either type of warmer. I did find that if I did not screw the c
