"It Gets Easier!...And Other Lies We Tell New Mothers" is a book by Claudine Wolk that is described as a fun, practical guide to becoming a mom.

Okay, so you might be wondering why our next sponsor is even included in the Baby Shower Bash, but really, if you have ever had a baby, you know how uncomfortable everything is during and after labor!

Sponsor #16 for the Baby Shower Bash is extremely near and dear to my heart simply because they make stuff that I have always wanted, but never had a reason to try.

If you know anything about my Tater, it is that he is a candy freak. I mean really. When we got our tax return and I asked him what he would pick if I told him he could buy anything, whatever he wanted his answer was: "candy worms." I mean really? So when we had the opportunity to review a Make Your Own Candy Kit from Glee Gum, I jumped at the chance. We chose (of course) the Make Your Own Gummy Candy Kit. He was SO pumped to get to try this! When I first opened the package, and started reading the instructions, I was a little intimidated..There seemed to be a lot of steps, and I was kind of nervous.... But, as it turns out, there was no need to be! It really was easy! I took some pictures along the way, but I am not going to lie, parts of this process are not exactly terribly photogenic, so I chose to leave some of them out. I was really surprised to learn that the gummies were made using seaweed. Real seaweed, yep, that ocean-y stuff. I had no idea what the...

As a mom of two, I am exceptionally excited to announce my next Baby Shower Bash Sponsor! ERGObaby makes the hippest, highest- quality baby carriers around.

Like you needed another reason?  Yet another study has come out on the risks of divorce.  This time, the University Of Toronto studied almost 7,000 adults, almost 700 of which were females who were younger than 18 when their parents divorced.  The study's results are nothing short of alarming, to me at least.  The study claims that men whose parents divorced when they were children were three times more likely to consider suicide than other men whose parents were not divorced by the time they reached adulthood. The study's findings were that adult daughters whose parents divorced when they were children were 83% more likely to seriously consider suicide than girls whose parents stayed married.Women whose parents had already divorced by the time they were 18 fared better than women whose parents divorced when they were older. The link between divorce and suicidal thoughts was particularly strong for men who experienced extremely unpleasant childhood stressors, ...

I usually don't post about stuff like this, but I know that everybody is looking for a quick, legit way to make a few bucks in their spare time. I'm going to highlight two of my favorite ways today: SwagBucks and MyLikes.  Swagbucks is probably the best way I have found to earn a little extra, well swag, in my spare time. It's super easy. Swagbucks is a search engine, just like Google. When you use Swagbucks instead of Google, you win points for random searches. Those points keep adding up in your account and you can redeem them for prizes. The best prize they have, in my opinion, is a $5 Amazon Gift Card for 450 Swagbucks. I financed almost all of our last Christmas through Swagbucks, so it really can add up fast! There is no catch, you just sign up, search and earn points. Then redeem them. Simple as that!  If you would like to sign up for Swagbucks , go ahead ! It's super easy! The newest way I have learned about earning money easily online is with MyLikes. M...

Our next Baby Shower Bash Sponsor sure is a sweet one! (Couldn't resist!) Smiley Cookie is a wonderful company I have had the pleasure of working with in the past, and when I saw that they have a special selection of baby cookies, I just had to ask if they would like to be part of our Baby Shower Bash! They said yes, and everyone lived happily ever after! Look for a wonderful post about Smiley Cookie in the next few weeks! 

Hey guys! I'm here again to tell you about Eden Fantasys and their amazing blogger program.  I figured perfect timing with Vday right around the corner, right!? What better gift for your guy, and yourself?  If you are a blogger looking to earn free gift cards, Eden Fantasys makes it so easy, you're crazy not to do it! I know what you're thinking. An Adult Shop ? Really? I can't blog about that!  But you can, really you can.  See this post? I'm doing it right now.  You don't have to talk about any personal stuff. No weirdness at all.  Although if you WANT to blog about all that, they don't mind that either :)  It's so easy! And you can do it as often as every two weeks to earn gift cards to their online adult store ! Their gift cards have no expiration date, so you can save them all up and use them at once, or if you're a blogger, you can even use them for a giveaway!  That's right, spread the love!  If you are interested in the...

I love being a Purex Insider! As a Purex Insider, I get to get the inside scoop on new products! The newest product that I got the chance to try is the brand new Purex Complete Crystals Softener!  This is a completely new, out of the box way to think about fabric softener. It isn't a liquid or a sheet like you might be used to.  Instead, Purex Complete Crystals are just that. Tiny little solid crystals. It's so different than anything I have ever tried before! Here's Why:  It's Purer. Purex Complete Crystals is 92% natural. It works differently than most oil-based fabric softeners, in that it actually infuses clothes with the softener rather than coats them.  It's Easier. You add it directly to the wash cycle at the beginning of your load of laundry. There's no waiting for the rinse cycle, no gunk in the washing machine, and no stains from spilling liquid softener.  It's Safer.  Purex Complete Crystals are safe for all laundry and will not harm, w...

I get so bored with eating the same few dishes over and over.  But, I never have any inspiration.  Never fear, the fine folks at Progresso are here to save the day and inspire us all with some great new dishes!  I was so excited to participate in this campaign through Progresso and MyBlogSpark!  Here's some details for you: "The chef´s secret is out - panko is in! A longtime secret of Japanese cuisine, panko is now a pantry staple for creating perfect crispiness in any dish. This October, Lemon Pepper will join the ranks of Progresso´s line of panko bread crumbs, which includes Original and Italian flavors. Whether frying, baking or broiling, this culinary superstar adds a flavorful crunch to create simple, savory recipes. Made from the soft, tender centers of the bread, Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko combines the perfect cru...
