Octonauts: Deep Sea Mission DVD Review and Giveaway

*I received the product below in order to facilitate this review. I was not required to write a positive review. As always, all opinions are my own. see disclosure. 

Are your kiddos like mine, and love all things related to animals? Seriously, not a day goes by that my oldest two aren't informing me of some random fact about one. They just love to learn about them, and that is why I adore Octonauts!

The New Octonauts: Deep Sea Mission is an entertaining way for them, my 6 year old son especially, to learn more about little known creatures of the deep. Through 6 fun adventures the Octonauts take your kids down to the deepest depths of the ocean. In this DVD they learn about more than just marine life. They also touch on underwater volcanoes, which I think is really cool.

Little Monsters Back Monsters Cloth Diaper ~ Review

*I received the product below for reviewing purposes. I was not required to write a positive review, all opinions are my own. see disclosure.

Let me just begin with this.... I love cloth diapering! You have so many modern options available, so you can find what works best for your baby and family. Now that we have been going the cloth route for right at 4 months with our little guy, I can honestly say, I am starting to form concrete opinions on what works for him and what doesn't. I have found a diaper that works, and is just beyond adorable- Little Monsters Cloth Diapers!

Little Monsters Cloth Diapers carries one size, pocket cloth diapers in two different styles. Solid Colored Monsters are a bold vibrant color with contrasting snaps. Then the Back Monsters have the same bright colors with snaps, but these diapers have a cute little design sewn on the back too. The Turtle on Blue Diaper that I received in order to facilitate this review is so sweet.

Buttons Cloth Diapers Accessories ~ Review

*I received these products free for reviewing purposes. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. see disclosure.

After I began cloth diapering our third baby a few months ago, I didn't see the need for cloth wipes {my exact thoughts were, "um gross!"}, and honestly I had no idea what a wet bag even was. Let's just say I have learned so much about both of these products over the last couple months, and now feel extremely foolish for not realizing how much I NEEDED them. After being annoyed with wipes that needed to be thrown away at every diaper change, and getting my hands icky carrying them separately to the garbage, Enough was enough! Then Buttons Cloth Diapers came to my rescue. They sent me 2 packages of their Flannel Cloth Wipes, and a large Wet/Dry Bag in order to facilitate this product review.

International Can-It-Forward Day 2014 ~ #CanItForward

Have you heard that today is International Can-It-Forward Day? Well I just found out about it yesterday, and think it is so neat. It's the fourth year for this event, and they will have live webcasts with demonstrations throughout the day on various topics related to preserving your own foods, and even one on tips for Urban Gardens, which totally applies to my family.

Growing organic veggies and fruit has been a dream of mine for a few years now. We live in a city and have super small backyard. I could really use some advice after all the issues we dealt with including Rascally Rabbits (who would have guessed they would be a problem), and ants taking over the garden. Also our harvests have been pretty pitiful! =)

Chelsea Hamper Review ~ BrylaneHome

*I received the product below from reviewing purposes. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. see disclosure.

If there is one thing above all else that drives me crazy around the home, it would have to be picking up dirty clothes, especially socks, off the floor. I mean as a SAHM, I already wash, dry, and fold everyone's clothes. The least they can do is throw the dirty ones where they go right? Well, at my house that hasn't been the case. BrylaneHome has the answer to solving this dirty clothes scattered about problem- The Chelsea Hamper!
