If you're a parent, you can really appreciate a fresh care routine. Especially in the early stages of potty training. They really need a toilet tissue that isn't abrasive on their sensitive bottoms. I wanted my son to use a toilet paper that was soft. Unfortunately, there wasn't flushable wipes when he was being potty trained..... [More]

I love to wear dresses. Anytime of the year, really, but especially during the spring and summer. And this time of year, I'm looking for dresses that are easy to pack and take on vacation.

The other day I cooked a crock pot full of pinto beans. I haven't cooked pinto beans in ages, and I knew I wanted some to fix refried beans with for Cinco de Mayo. And refried beans are so much better made fresh from pinto beans than from a can, in my opinion..... [More]

I don't know about you, but I love throwing parties in the summer. Whether it's impromptu kid's party, a bar-b-que, or a big Fourth of July bash, I enjoy a party durning the warm weather months.

I've been using MaxClarity for a few weeks now. I will admit, I was a little skeptical because I've tried so many things that "promised" to clear up my acne... but results have been lacking. Either they didn't work at all or very short term... I am very happy with my MaxClarity results so far! Pleasantly surprised, in fact. One thing I was a little concerned about was that it would dry my skin out. I know a lot of anti-acne washes, medications, etc., are very drying. And since, I'm not a teenager, the last thing I wanted was my face to get dry.. [More]

The gifts I've bought my Mother over the years have run the gambit from perfume and clothing, to delivered roses and plants/flowers she could hang or plant herself. Then after I became a mother myself, I realized the things I wanted most for myself on Mother's Day, was anything with my... [More]

I think children need rituals. A daily routine helps families connect. It brings children comfort. Children love rituals -- a routine with meaning. Daily rituals give children a sense of securtiy. I believe if you create daily routines within your family, you'll create lasting memories.. [More]

As you can see he looks awesome. :) He said he loved the way it felt. I can attest it is very soft. And now, I'm really excited about going to Old Navy to get some for myself. I did think I was getting a crew neck, and when it came it was a V-neck, but now I'm glad it is... because I'll go this weekend and pick him up a crew neck to layer under the V-neck.. [More]

When I was young, I wished for clear, beautiful skin. I would see girls with smooth flawless skin, and would be so envious. My skin was anything but, flawless. I first started seeing acne on my face at the age of twelve. My entire teen years were plagued by pimples and blackheads. I would ... [More]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love Italian food. I would say it's safe to say I fix pasta at least three times a week. I also use a lot of olive oil -- whether it's with spices and seasonings served for dip... [More]
