I'll have to admit that until recently, I was pretty ignorant about gluten free products.  Actually, I had no idea what gluten even was.  It wasn't until I happened across the Udi's Gluten Free booth at BlogHer'12 this August, that I decided once and for all to solve the mystery.

Turns out, I was absolutely blown away by the delicious grilled cheese sandwiches Udi's was making using all gluten free products.  So when I was presented with the chance to take part in the Udi's Gluten Free 14-Day Challenge, I couldn't refuse, mostly because I knew the food I would be eating would taste amazing.

If you have a pantry full of canned fish and canned seafood, yet are tired of making boring tuna fish sandwiches and crab cakes, then be sure to check out the newest cookbook from Susan Sampson, 200 Best Canned Fish & Seafood Recipes.  Keep reading to learn more!

October is one of my favorite months of the year for many reasons...autumn is my favorite season, Halloween is my favorite holiday, my daughter was born during this month and breast cancer awareness is one of my favorite charities.  Breast cancer has touched my family's life deeply, for my mother-in-law, Jannell Cleaver, died from this illness back in 2003.

Because cancer took away Michael's mother so soon, she never had the chance to see my husband and I get married, visit us in our first home we bought together or meet her wonderful granddaughter.  In order to do my part to raise money for the cure, I've joined forces with Chevy in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer...and you can too!

For every new Like on the Gotta Love Chevy Houston page, $1 will be contributed to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative.  Donating to a remarkable charity will never be easier, so please stop what you're doing and head on over to the Gotta Love Chevy Houston page now and give it a BIG thumbs up!  :thumbs up:

It's every household's never-ending chore...LAUNDRY!  I swear, I don't understand how just three people can dirty up so many clothes so fast, but my family always seems to manage.  I actually shudder to think just how much we spend on laundry detergent as well as on the water and electricity needed to run our washing machine and dryer.  :money:

Furthermore, I recently discovered the damaging effects that our laundry detergent has on the environment.  Thankfully, Oransi has set out to provide a more cost-effective, eco-friendly and chemical-free way to clean our clothes with the Robby Wash Laundry Ball.  Keep reading to learn more!

I've battled adult acne for what seems like forever, and during all of the time spent using countless creams and prescriptions, I've never been able to find a long-lasting solution to my problem.  One of the acne-clearing options I have always wanted to try is a blue light acne treatment.

It's every new parent's biggest fear...leaving your little one in the care of someone else.  I know that it took me forever to finally take the leap and let my parents watch Riley for the night while Michael and I went on a date, but it was the right thing to do both for me and my marriage.

Parents need to recharge their batteries on a regular basis and put down the mommy or daddy role for a few hours every now and then.  So how can you prepare both yourself and your babysitter for the inevitable separation between you and your child?  Keep reading for some expert tips from Safety 1st Consumer Safety Expert, Julie Vallese:
