    Lovevery: My Favorite High Quality Baby Toys

    With five kids, I’ve learned that with toys, more is less. What I mean is that toys tend to collect in areas and not get played with when there is an abundance… and when there are one or two in site, the kids will actually play with them. I have been on the hunt for some fun new non-toxic toys for my littlest girls and I LOVE the ones that I found with a brand called Lovevery! I had never heard of them before so when they reached out to me about trying some toys, I was really excited! I went to their website and checked out the brand and…

    Our Fav Nontoxic Nail Brands and Why You Should Care

    Being a mom of four girls, I have my fair share of “spa days” at home where I treat my littles to their own mani pedi sessions. We love having our girl time together and making memories with my littles is something that means a lot! Memories are the things that I cherish most and when I strive to live a more healthy and non toxic lifestyle, I cannot ignore the unsafe ingredients that are used with nail polishes.

    Stinkbug Naturals

    I’ve been a lover of Stinkbug Naturals for several years now. It is my favorite nontoxic deodorant and trust me, I’ve tried them all! Most non toxic deodorants don’t work or cause skin irritation due to the baking soda ingredients. I’m thankful for Stinkbug because it’s effective and also isn’t crazy expensive. I have always been a “stinky” girl, to the point that I had prescribed antiperspirant when I was in college.

    Self Care Simplicity

    Heyyyyy ya’ll! I wanted to take the time to give you an update before I get to the meat and potatoes of this blog post. Since I gave birth to Vivi, I’ve been taking it easy and haven’t worked as much as normal. I’ve also had a lot of time to think about what content I’ve been producing and realized that I was focused on getting quantity content out verses quality. After simmering on this for a little while I’ve decided to stop trying to share so much on my blog so that it’s seen more and focus on quality posts that are shared 1-2 times a week. It’s hard…
