Okay, so I realize I’m a day late (or am I six days early??), but I really wanted to share this awesome and affordable find. Allie of No Time for Flash Cards – who graciously wrote a post here in January with 5 easy crafts to do with kids – just published an eBook!
Alphabet Crafts has an easy craft for every letter of the alphabet and includes 5 exclusive crafts. Like on her blog, Allie gives easy to follow step by step instructions, pictures and tips for a successful (and fun!) experience with your child. The book also has suggested materials and alphabet book suggestions.
All that alphabet learning for only $8. Yay!
Happy shopping.
As you know, I think the Boppy pillow is a 
The second product I tried was the 
The only drawback I can see is that it is one more “thing” you need to have around for feeding time, and though there is a thin flap that you tuck under the Boppy, it doesn’t attach to the Boppy, which I would like to see in future versions of this product. I felt as if I was readjusting it a lot during the feeding, and would like it to feel more secure. One other note, if you are using this product, it pretty much covers the entire Boppy, which means the spit up now will land on the product, instead of the Boppy. Meaning, a water resistant cover for this as well might be in order in the future.
You may recall a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of reviewing 
All the technology in the world is great, but if the bra is uncomfortable it’s pretty much worthless. The Allure Underwire bra is, luckily, quite comfortable. Nearly every bra in my life has been an underwire so I really like that Bravado! has an underwire option that was designed with lactation consultants. The wire is wide to distribute weight and not pinch your parts. I found the underwire to be unobtrusive and easy to wear. Another design feature I really appreciate is that when you open the cup to nurse, it reveals almost your entire breast so you don’t have to fidget and work around the bra to achieve the correct latch.
Back in the day when I was working single woman I used to spend embarrassing amounts of of money on beauty products. I could easily spend hours of time and hundreds of dollars shopping for high-priced shampoos, creams and lotions. Obviously, I don’t have the time or money to do that these days and my beauty routine is more focused on what’s quick, easy and affordable. I think Kroger read my mind when they developed the new health and beauty line called 
mirra is designed with natural products AND to be effective. Because, frankly,sometimes I do wonder if extract of whatchamacallit or juice of random fruit is really effective in moisturizing my dry skin. So, the idea behind mirra is spot on in that it balances the use of natural ingredients and science to create a formula that works.
The Smoothing Daily Shampoo and Conditioner aren’t my favorite shampoo and conditioner. So, this may not shock you, but I don’t shower every day so I need my hair to look decent for at least two full days and by about mid-day of day 2 with this shampoo and conditioner my hair looked pretty greasy. I know, I know, I should just shower. But, that’s easier said than done unless I want 2 kids in there with me. I’m not sure if it’s the particular formula (Smoothing) or the entire line of Shampoo and Conditioner.
PhotoWorks is owned by American Greetings (which includes Papyrus) so you know the card options are top notch. With Easter in mind, I checked out the options for customizing a photo greeting card and had so much fun browsing the beautiful cards. I love the Peapod, a unique origami-like card with bright colored flowers, and the soft colors of the Easter-specific designs. I made a little proof with the Easter Thoughts by Papyrus card. Isn’t it cute?
