So, now that we’ve established that the Norwex EnviroCloth is freakin amazing (see The Best Cleaning Cloths in the World)… what’s cool is that Norwex makes the EnviroCloth in mini size, a.k.a. the Travel Cloth. I was just recently involved in a fun group thread where everyone was sharing their most favorite ways to use…
Alright, friends. It’s been a while since I’ve shared some favorites, so I definitely have some new ones on my list. If you’re needing some Mother’s Day gift ideas or just want a little something for yourself, these might help you out. Be sure to stop by the bottom of the post too for links…
My cute sister-in-law recently moved to Utah, and she’s not a big fan of the cold. I think she’d live in tank tops and flip flops if she could. So, I found the perfect gift idea at Groupon that will give her an excuse to put on her bathing suit and escape the cold … a 40-minute swim in a geothermal pool naturally heated to over 90 degrees! The Groupon is for two and includes snorkel gear, so she can bring a friend or cute boy with her and have a really memorable experience!

TODAY’S PICKS: Gifts for Women
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO THE WINNER: JULIE OTT! How is it possible that Christmas is only seven weeks from today?!? Fortunately, I’m an early shopper and like to pick up gifts throughout the year as I see them. However, I always get close to Christmas and realize I don’t have enough ideas…
It’s time for one of my most FAVORITE giveaways of the year! The ‘My Favorite Things’ giveaway blog hop… so fun! Even I (who can’t win) love hopping to all of the blogs to find out what their favorite things are, where I can get them, and learn a little about the blogger.
This year my basket is all about my most favorite workout products! ….lot’s of good stuff, my friends. Be sure to enter!!
Hey! It’s Mel from So Festive {Simple Ways to Celebrate}. Are you all having a great summer? We sure are! Summer is winding down. In fact, where we live, most kids have already started school. After the hustle and bustle of summer ending, you might deserve a little Girls Night Out.
And if you are going to have a Girls Night Out, you might as well put together some favor bags. Because who doesn’t love a fun swag bag?
Check out my fun and inexpensive ideas, and let me know in the comments what you’d include in a Girls Night Out gift bag for your friends.
After baby #6, my sweet little surprise and angel-baby, I thought I would give the IUD one more chance. It lasted probably 5 months and I had enough. My skin was breaking out like crazy! I couldn’t bring myself to do the pill again, so I did what I usually do when I need a little medical advice… ask the Facebook fans! Ha. They always come through for me! So, several ladies mentioned the same disdain for b.c. and mentioned Natural Family Planning as an option, something they LOVED. I had heard of people ‘charting’ and stuff like that, but for some silly reason, had never looked into it. I probably listened to my doctor a little too much over the years, when I should have been doing more research…. BECAUSE I’m totally doing the Natural Family Planning thing now and it’s been AWESOME. It’s so nice to know I am now officially 100% me, no added hormones. The best part is, I found this handy device to help me with the whole process. It has made it all SO, so easy!
Last year I gave my dad a photo book for Christmas. This book contains pictures from our annual family summer vacation. And he LOVED it. I mean he literally was over the moon about it. He though it was one of the most meaningful gifts he has ever received.
For me this was a BIG deal, because my dad is hard to shop for. The man has everything he needs and he is really practical. He always tell us not spend money on him with frivolous things. When I saw how much he liked the photobook, I knew I done well 🙂
So for this Father’s Day, perhaps consider helping your kids create meaningful photo books for their dad. There are so many great on-line book making companies out there and they are all so easy to use.
Need a Mother’s Day gift idea?? Perfume is always a favorite and Mother’s Day is a perfect time, with the upcoming new season, to gift a summery scent. My personal faves are Viva La Juicy and Sarah Jessica Parker NYC, but I know there are lots of heavenly perfumes out there. So, thanks to the Facebook gals and some hefty research, I have a whole list of tried and true favorite perfumes for women. I can’t wait to try them, myself.
Here they are!
There is no way to put into words how unique and amazing my mom is, and I’m sure almost everyone feels the same about their own mom! I’m continually discovering aspects of my personality that I can trace back to my mom – which I love. As I ponder some of the things that make me happy (reading and chocolate, to name a few), I’ve come to realize that I love them BECAUSE my mom loved them.
Whenever I think back on my childhood, I picture my mom reading. Whenever she had down time (which wasn’t often with seven kids), she was reading. On long drives, she would read. When we went on vacations, she would read. When she locked herself in the bathroom, she would read – haha. And now I do the same thing!
I love getting mail. I won’t even deny that I’m completely addicted to Zulily, Amazon, and Stitchfix. Now I have a new love to add to the list. A new love that will send me a package every month. A package that only costs $10 bucks and is totally fun. It’s called Birchbox. Ever heard of it? I can’t say that I wear very much makeup, but I definitely like to try all the latest and greatest items on the market. Birchbox is a monthly subscription company that will send you a small box every month with samples of the newest beauty products on the market.
