On Saturday #159 my family and I went to a park in a nearby city for a picnic and some play time. We tossed around a Frisbee for a while then explored the playground. We had a nice walk together and enjoyed watching the little guy live it up. I basked in his cuteness. I was feeling enormous and my feet were very swollen that day, but I enjoyed the time outside in the sunshine with my family.
After our trip to the park we ran into Big Lots to find pool filters, we are anxious to set our pool up this weekend and spend most of our days in the water.
After that we drove in the country for a while and were rewarded with a sighing of a Bald Eagle, a quick scan of the area showed us their nest, complete with a few babies moving around inside. What a treat to find the Bald Eagle not far from our home.
We came home to see our dogs, and we all enjoyed dinner on the deck together.
It was a simple day, but it was filled with time spent outdoors together as a family.
It seems like the weeks fly by, and I am writing another post in the 940 Saturdays series before I know it. Each weekend is more precious as the time goes by, as our daughter Harper will arriving in the fall and our threesome will turn into a foursome. I am excited to meet Miss Harper, but I am also anxious to make the most of these remaining weekends with Rolf making memories before things change. I worry that while I am giving him the gift of a sibling, which he probably won't appreciate until he is much older, that I am taking something away from him at the same time. It will be very hard for him to adapt to sharing his Mommy with someone else. We have such a close relationship that he gets jealous of my husband and the pets when they get my attention.
I hope that you had the chance to spend time with your family over the weekend. As I get older I realize how fleeting our time together really is and how it should be cherished. Life is always changing and we never know what the next day will hold. Taking the time to hear my child laugh, to see him run and play and look happy, to see my husband holding Rolf's hand and teaching him to do things that only Daddy can teach, to just hold onto the moment is like a gift that I will cherish forever.

#ShineNaturally with Bio Ionic Agave Oil
My hair has a mind of its own. Some days it is gorgeous and shiny without using any products, but other days it is a frizzy, unmanageable mess that makes me resemble a mad scientist.
On those crazy hair days I have resorted to many products to help me tame my mess and look presentable and not encourage strangers to laugh and point at my hair. When I got the chance to try Agave Healing Oil from Bio Ionic I was curious. Of all the solutions I have tried, I had never used an oil treatment as I was under the impression that using oil would make my hair oily.
This is a really simple product to use. You can apply it to damp or dry hair then blow dry. I liked that there were not a lot of steps to follow or complicated instructions.
After applying Bio Ionic's Agave Healing Oil I was amazed at how shiny and soft my hair was, and it was not at all greasy or oil as I had worried it might be. I couldn't resist giving the product a sniff and I liked the fragrance as well.
I will continue to use this product on my crazy frizzy hair days and I would recommend it to others, including my mother who passed her wild hair genes on to me.

Sock Panda Review
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or
services mentioned above in the hope that I would mention it
on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally
and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance
with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the
Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
I love fun and funky socks and I love subscription services. When I heard about Sock Panda I knew I wanted to try this out. Sock Panda delivers a pair of socks to your door each month for $11.
Sock Panda sends you a pair from the Bold or Cool line, and the style is a surprise until it lands at your door.
The socks for men will fit shoe sizes 8- 12 and the socks for women will fit shoe sizes 5-10. Making this a fun subscription that will fit a variety of shoe sizes.
I would like to receive this as a gift. I am known for enjoying funky socks. I cannot bring myself to wear a pair of plain white socks and I am always pushing my husband to switch things up from his standard black dress socks.
I was impressed with the appearance and quality of the socks I received. They held up well after multiple wearings and washings and they were a lot of fun and a welcome addition to my sock collection.
These are the pairs I received.
I loved the polka dot pair, they were adorable and fun. I liked wearing them around the house and out and about.
My husband was not as easily convinced, he is a manly man, and pink is just not his color. I really had to plead with him to get him to wear his funky green and pink striped socks.
Overall, this is a fun subscription to get or to give to a friend or loved one. The element of surprise makes it a unique experience and a great gift option. I think $11 is a little pricey for a pair of socks, but as they say, you only live once, and you might as well look awesome while you are doing it!

Woolzies Giveaway with 3 winners
I think it is safe to say almost everyone wears clothes. Most people in the world rely upon the modern convenience of using a washer and dryer to keep their clothes clean, in good condition and smelling lovely. Without giving it much, if any, thought, most people add fabric softener to the laundry to be washed, and many toss a dryer sheet in the dryer as they add their clean clothes.
Did you know dryer sheets are actually bad for your family and the environment? Many dryer sheets are packed with known carcinogenics such as benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, chloroform and linalool. Not only are dryer sheets made with toxic chemicals that are bad news for you, but they are also bad for your clothes and your dryer. The waxy component of the dryer sheet can build up on your lint screen and make your dryer less effective over time.
A few ladies in the Sublime Media Connection had the pleasure of trying a great all natural product called Woolzies Dryer Balls, which are a great alternative to dryer sheets. They are guaranteed to last for 1000 loads of laundry, they are made with Wool, they soften fabrics reducing the need for fabric softener, and they reduce static. Sounds pretty great right? This makes them even better... they reduce the time it takes to dry your clothes in a dryer by about 25%!!!
You won't want to miss the reviews from the ladies of the Sublime Media Connection! Click on the links to the reviewing blogs to find out what the lovely ladies thought of this unique product.

My dogs are a part of the family. I want nothing but the best for them. When Natures Logic offered to send us a sample of their dry kibble, I was thrilled that they would get the honor of trying this food.
Natures Logic Dog Food is "the way pet food should be". It is 100% totally natural whole food with no corn, wheat, soy, tapioca, peas, salt, gluten or potatoes. It contains no chemically synthesized vitamins or minerals.
As I have mentioned before I have a dog with special dietary needs. He cannot have anything made with corn, which can be a challenge. I had no worries offering Natures Logic Canine Beef Meal Dinner Fare to either of my boys.
I liked that the food was in small bits, making it easier for my smaller dog to eat. I loved the reaction that they gave when this food was delivered to our house. They love to help inspect any packages that come, and they get very excited when they realize a package is for them and the contents are edible!
My cat even wanted to get in on this action, I had to hide the bag of dog food on top of the refrigerator to keep it safe from his curious claws.
When I was ready to introduce this dog food to the hound boys, they were quite excited. My red bone eagerly dove into the bowl I offered, and gobbled it up within a minute. He licked his lips and wagged his tail, a sure sign of approval. Honestly he would eat anything, so the true test came with my beagle.
My beagle is a funny pooch. If he hears the following words he will turn his nose up in the air and walk away.
Cheap
Sale
Coupon
So needless to say, he has a discerning palate and he won't even consider eating something he deems to be "cheap".
When I offered him a bowl of Natures Logic to try, he sniffed it skeptically for a moment, when he decided this was edible and of the quality he desires he dove right in and happily munched away, cleaning out his bowl and wiggling in delight.
As you can see in the photo below this dog food was a hit. My discerning beagle found it to be delicious and it inspired him to roll around happily after eating his sample!
I have a giveaway starting on 5/25, make sure you stop back for your chance to win Natures Logic for your dogs.

Buttons Diapers Review and Giveaway
"Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or

and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance

My interest in cloth diapers has been growing since I found out I am expecting baby #2. We have spent a small fortune diapering my son, and the prospect of doing it all over again has made me blue. Not only the cost, but also the amount of garbage that diapering creates weighs heavily upon my mind.
My husband is adamant about using disposables, but he rarely changes diapers and doesn't know how to use a washing machine (no joke! He really doesn't know how to do laundry!) I took the leap and followed my heart and began a few cloth diapers. By using 2 cloth diapers a day we are using nearly 60 less disposables a month, which is almost 3 packs of diapers in the size we buy. The savings are close to $30 a month which is amazing!
I had the honor of putting Buttons Diapers to the test, and I am pleased to share my experience with you.
First these are cute! They don't have prints or frills, just cute as a button buttons on them for decoration. I selected a blue diaper for my son, and was ready to work it into our rotation.
When you begin using cloth diapers you must prep the inserts, I ran my inserts from Buttons through the wash 4 times and they were ready to be used They were easy to put together, as easy as snapping 2 buttons, and I had my son in his latest cloth diaper right away.
I was pleased with how absorbent they are. My little guy drinks a lot of water during the day and he requires a lot of diaper changes. This works well as we are trying to potty train and frequent changing gives us plenty of time to practice on the potty. I noticed that when I use the night time doubler we can go an extra 40 minutes or so during the day before we need a change. We don't use it at night, as Rolf doesn't wets himself at night very often which is my clue that he is ready to be potty trained. The daytime insert is absorbent yet not bulky and has exceeded my expectations.
The diapers are sturdy and hold up well. I am very happy to have a Buttons Cloth Diaper in my collection. I have been using it daily for a few weeks now and it holds in liquid very well, it is a stylish little number and it is helping us to reduce our environmental impact while saving money. I really liked how easy they are to get clean as well.
I would recommend this brand of cloth diapers to other parents. The covers are priced at $11, and inserts run from $3.50 to $5 each.

Fysiko Before Photos
It seems funny that many men have gorgeous eyelashes while many women strive to get the same results with the use of a ton of mascara and products. I am always trying to make my lashes longer and thicker, so when I heard about this product called Fysiko which helps you grow natural eyelashes I was excited to get to try it out.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now, but I wanted to share my before photo of my lashes with you so that in about 10 weeks you will be able to refer back to this post and see the results for yourself.

Simply Soapberry Detergent is all natural, it deep cleans and softens clothes. It is biodegradable, long lasting is made with non GMO ingredients.
I put this to the deep clean test right away. My 3 year old son gets very dirty on a day to day basis. He attracts dirt and is attracted to dirt. It is not uncommon for his clothes to be utterly filthy within a short amount of time, and I more times than not end up changing his clothing at least 4 times during the day.
The first thing I liked about this detergent is that it has a clean, pleasant fragrance, but it doesn't smell like perfume. I love that the bottle has a pump, meaning there is less opportunity for me to spill detergent as I measure it out.
I was impressed that there is an ingredient list that I could understand printed on the bottle.
I was also impressed with the performance of the product. It really did get the clothes that my son works so hard to get filthy really clean.
I like that the product contains aloe vera and it is gentle enough for the most delicate skin. I will be looking for this detergent when it comes time for my little girl to be born.
If you have an HE machine, a 32 fluid ounce bottle will last you 128 loads. You can use the detergent as a simple preteater for stains as well, overall I was very pleased with the detergent and would recommend it to environmentally conscious consumers.

I share my life with 2 lovely hound dogs, and I enjoy taking them for walks whenever I can. I am always looking for a stylish and safe leash to make out walks more enjoyable.
26 Bars & a Band sent me the Avant Garde Retractable Leash from the newest collection Snapshot in Just Perfect style. This is a really cute leash that you can make your own by adding a small photo to the case . This leash was for my beagle Princey Poo to try out.
Princey Poo...
The leash is a very sturdy nylon belt that held up well to my dog that has been known to wait until I am not paying attention and give me a good tug at every opportunity. We had tried a retractable leash when he was a puppy (7 years ago) and he snapped it within moments. I was pleased that he could not break free with the Avant Garde Leash as he did with our previous retractable leash.
The comfort grip handle was a huge bonus for me. I had been using a leather leash that looped around my wrist for quite some time and it never failed that at the end of a walk my wrist was sore and aching. The comfort grip ergonomic handle made walking my dog super comfortable and easy on my hand and wrist.
I also really liked the one button brake and release feature. My beagle boy would be thrilled to use all 15 feet of the retractable leash, but being able to keep him safe and out of trouble when need be is a huge bonus with this leash. The leash retracts smoothly which is great.
I like that the Avant Garde leash from 26 Bars & a Band for medium dogs will hold up to 48 pounds and that it has a 3 year warranty. I feel good using a product that the company stands behind for a substantial amount of time.
This leash retails for $34. It is a good product for the price in my opinion.

Being pregnant has its advantages. One of them is that I have really great nails, not only in length and strength, but also in appearance. My husband is kind enough to paint my toe nails for me about every week and a half. When the April Color Me Monthly Box arrived, I was impressed with the pretty color that I received, and I was pleased that my hubby noticed how it would look great with a new dress I had been looking forward to wearing.
The Color is Clear Skies Ahead. It was the perfect shade to welcome spring. A Color of light blue that mimics the sky on a perfect day.
My husband was eager to get to his task of making my nails look cute.
He painted half of my toenails in this shade and the other half in a dark blue. I have to admit, he matched the nail polish to the colors of my new dress perfectly.
The color is long lasting. This photo was taken 10 days after he painted my nails, I have been wearing sandals almost everyday and the color has held up surprisingly well, despite the fact that my tootsies are exposed to the elements of life 24 hours a day. The nail polish was very thick and required only one coat, which I love.
The first day that he painted my nails I rocked the new dress. I had an appointment that day and all the ladies in the doctors office went crazy over my toe nails. They loved not only the light blue color, but also how I completely matched from head to toe. They couldn't believe that I had been able to paint my nails to look this cute despite my ever expanding baby bump, I was happy to fill them in on my secret, one of the perks of pregnancy, that my dear husband did them for me.
Color Me Monthly offers a new shade every month, prices start at $7 for one month, $40 for 6 months or $75 for a year long subscription. I like that I can try a new shade each month without agonizing over which one to purchase, and I love the element of surprise when the box arrives. I have been super pleased with the service, the selections sent to me and the quality of the nail polish.
I would highly recommend this as a gift for a lovely lady in your life, or as a way to indulge your inner goddess.

This photo was taken 10 days after he painted my nails, I have been wearing sandals almost everyday and the color has held up surprisingly well, despite the fact that my tootsies are exposed to the elements of life 24 hours a day. The nail polish was very thick and required only one coat, which I love.
The first day that he painted my nails I rocked the new dress. I had an appointment that day and all the ladies in the doctors office went crazy over my toe nails. They loved not only the light blue color, but also how I completely matched from head to toe. They couldn't believe that I had been able to paint my nails to look this cute despite my ever expanding baby bump, I was happy to fill them in on my secret, one of the perks of pregnancy, that my dear husband did them for me.
Color Me Monthly offers a new shade every month, prices start at $7 for one month, $40 for 6 months or $75 for a year long subscription. I like that I can try a new shade each month without agonizing over which one to purchase, and I love the element of surprise when the box arrives. I have been super pleased with the service, the selections sent to me and the quality of the nail polish.
I would highly recommend this as a gift for a lovely lady in your life, or as a way to indulge your inner goddess.
