The Wonderfully Messy Journey of #Amazinghood + Giveaway

This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Dreft. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review and compensation, but all opinions are 100% mine.

When you first become a parent, you have this idea in your head that things are always going to be sweet and precious, but in reality although you adore your precious bundle of joy, there are times when it is just plain messy. I remember folding all of those little clothes when we were preparing for the birth of my daughter. And all those babies socks that the dryer ALWAYS eats. With little girls, everyone wants to buy you clothes and so when I had our son, I had plenty of hand-me-downs for all of my nieces. But now we have a son. There just aren't that many boy clothes out there. The sections are smaller than girls at the store and good luck finding any good ones in consignment shops. And it's because boys are messy from the start. You want their clothes to smell baby soft, just like you daughter's did, but you also want them to be wearable without baby food stains.



Dreft welcomes families to the big, messy, beautiful journey of #Amazinghood with its new line of laundry care products. Babies go through a lot of changes within their first few years, leading to different needs for different life stages - especially when it comes to their laundry.

Have a Leak Free Holiday with Luvs + Giveaway

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Luvs. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Friday we went and saw Santa. How embarrassing would it have been if Peanut's diaper had leaked all over Santa! Poor thing would have been on the naughty list for sure! ;)

No tears, but both kiddos were a little intimidated.
That's where Luvs comes in. Luvs diapers is a trusted name in baby care and they know that the holiday season is full of stressful moments, but they don't want diaper leaks be one of them. This holiday, Luvs wants everyone to celebrate a Leak-Free Holiday.

Before I skipped the pre-rinse, I was wasting SO MUCH TIME! And now that I have included Cascade Platinum products into my kitchen clean-up routine, I have saved so time, money on my water bill, and my sanity.
 

Skipping the Pre-Wash with #CascadeShiningReviews + Giveaway

I have always pre-washed my dishes. I didn't know that you shouldn't. It was how I was taught. I was recently given the opportunity to have a little cooking party over at my house to share that Cascade not only provides superior clean for your dishes, but you don't have to pre-wash! I have a long lasting love for Cascade Platinum, so I felt up for the challenge!

 

So I decided to invite some family over for a taste of comfort foods, which included The Pioneer Woman's Mac N' Cheese. I have never made any of her recipes, although I love her blog and show. I also made some yummy Duncan Hines brownies (which I also received) that I was told to make the night before and leave the pan so my guests could see that Cascade Platinum delivers ultimate clean for dishes, even 24-hour stuck-on food!

Peanut is definitely a bouncy baby boy!


 
This was taken with my iPad 4, so it is a little poor quality. My mom bought this for SweetPea at my first baby shower, but she never took to it as a baby. But Peanut is getting a TON of use out of it!

Celebrating Firsts. There have been so many along the way for us. And I am excited to have the experience to share a child of mine's firsts all over again. Here's a picture of one of SweetPea's very first "firsts", seeing Santa. Can you believe this was almost three years ago? Where does the time go with little ones.

First Time seeing Santa

I love Pampers swaddlers when SweetPea was a newborn because they are Pampers softest diaper ever. And I am so excited that Swaddlers are now available through size 5! Which means, this baby can stay in my favorite diaper throughout their diapering years.

From your baby’s first smile to their first step, Swaddlers can now be there for many more firsts to come! To celebrate Swaddlers sizes 4 & 5, Pampers has 30 days of incredible giveaways and a grand prize of FREE Swaddlers diapers & wipes for a year.
