Protecting Your Family and House at the Same Time

Vmaisi Pressure Gate Wall Protector

Even though Peyton is no longer a baby or toddler we still have baby gates up throughout our home. We have pets. Need I say more? I use a baby gate on the laundry room door to keep the dogs from getting in and eating the cat food. I use a baby gate on the steps to keep the dogs from running up and down the steps all the time. And I use a baby gate on Peyton's bedroom door so she can keep her door open but keep the pets out. They are literally a lifesaver for us. But I don't want to ruin my ...

Christmas in July with Precious Moments Nativity Advent Calendar

As a little kid, I remember loving the countdown to Christmas. It was always so much fun! We'd mark the days off on a calendar and participate in fun holiday activities like baking cookies, singing Christmas songs and Christmas parties.

An Alternative for Adult Acne – CBD Oil

CBD Oil

I have suffered with acne my whole life since I was about 12. Everyone would say, oh it's just puberty. When you're older your skin will be clear, don't worry about it. So that what I believed. I thought it was just my teenage years that I would struggle with acne, using everything I possibly could get my hands on to try and clear up my acne.  I tried tanning beds, pills and tons of different skin care products. When I was in my 20s I still had acne. I thought when in the world is this going to ...
