I'm putting my "PS's" at the beginning here... P.S. Before we get started here, I just want to say sorry for the "ghost post" I published last night. That's for those who caught it in their readers only to find it really wasn't there. I was distracted and hit publish instead of save. Normally, I can remedy any goofs like this right away because I'm about to submit it for real but I wasn't ready this time. Obviously. I type my posts out in Word before I go to blogger but I was getting it all ready because I only had one last thing left to do. Oh well. Here we are now. :) P.P.S. Lauren at Ginger is the New Pink is the winner of my recent giveaway for a Kid Basix Safe Sippy cup ! Woo hoo! Many thanks to EcoMom.com for sponsoring. ******* There was a time, way back when, where blogging to me was a “no way.” I could read others’ blogs but I had zero intention of starting a blog myself. Well, two years later here I am. I just realized when typ...

No doubt you're very familiar with the many giveaways happening here and there and everywhere. Hey, speaking of which, have you entered my latest ? You can enter for yourself or for someone else - you don't want to pass it up! Anyway... Thank you all for commenting on my new look here at the "Place." I loved the old blog but I outgrew it and it was time for something new. What you're seeing now is a customized (pre-made) template I won from MWYT and blog designer, Lena, at Premades for a Purpose . In fact, MWYT's blog is also a premade by Lena. It was hard to choose just the right one but I believe I did, don't ya think? Lena has some new templates available, all very reasonably priced, and they are so adorable. If you get a chance or are in the market for an uplift to your own blog, check her site out. She has other templates to choose from than what's shown on the home page. Sales of these templates and other services she provides go towards a ...

I recently volunteered to review a product from EcoMom.com . I felt like a kid in class sitting in the front row who is desperately waving her hand to answer a question the teacher asked. Pick me! Pick me! Fortunately, I was chosen. Hee hee! Lucky me. Lucky Caleb. EcoMom.com (formerly known as SproutBaby.com) is an online company whose objective is to provide only the best, eco-friendly, and safe products for children (and some things for moms and dads too) at affordable prices. We’re talking organic foods, non-toxic skincare and bath products, BPA-free cups and water bottles, etc. The products they offer are extensively researched, tested and recommended beforehand. They do most of the homework for you so you don’t have to and when you’re busy, this is very helpful. Who doesn’t like buying with confidence? When shopping at EcoMom.com , they offer free shipping (ground) on orders $75 or more, however, they have a new program called the EcoPass . Purchase a $99 annual membership and ...
