Getting Crunchy with Katie Are you buried in plastic grocery bags? Are the bags overflowing out of a container that is supposed to keep them organized? Or, do you stuff one thousand bags into another plastic Kroger bag until it bursts?

This was my life for a long time. Half of the area under our sink was full of plastic bags. When I opened the door, the bags would fall out. I did not know what to do with them! Throw them away? No, that is wasteful! Recycle them? I never remembered to take them to the Kroger recycle bins. The pile just kept growing!

But wait, there`s more! »

innovativeKidsRiley has plenty of great toys to keep her entertained while playing here at the house, but we're always on the hunt for imaginative toys for her to play with while bathing and while traveling.  For some reason, we've had a hard time finding quality toys in either of these two areas.

innovativeKids is celebrating their 11th year of bringing the best of fun and learning to children around the world and they had some unique solutions in mind for Riley's bath and travel time.  We recently had the chance to review their Soft Shapes Play to Learn Games: Memory Match Catch and Princesses - green start Play, Draw, Create toys.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the following two products from innovativeKids:

LogitechIn this day and age, wires are quickly becoming a thing of the past.  Who wants to be bogged down in one place with a wire, when you can roam anywhere you wish, once you ditch the cords?  Wireless keyboards have been around for a while now, but unfortunately these pesky wireless keyboards cost me a bundle thanks to the never-ending supply of batteries they use!

Logitech, a leader in consumer technology, has finally found a way to truly unleash the power of wireless while saving you a ton of money in the process.  I recently had the chance to review their new wireless solar keyboard (K750).  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 from Logitech, which retails for $79.99, but is currently on sale for $54.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

SmartKleanIt'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 we always seem 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.  :dollar signs:

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

BaroniI have to admit that I am a total jewelry fanatic!  Although I have a plethora of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces of every size, shape and color already, my eye is constantly roaming for a unique and beautiful piece to add to the collection.  Although I can usually find one or two pieces of jewelry I like from most any designer, it is extremely rare that I like almost everything one particular designer creates.

That's why I'm so excited to tell you about the gorgeous jewelry I've discovered from Baroni.  I recently had the opportunity to review a wonderful bracelet, perfect for wearing everyday.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Recycled Wood Lotus Charm Stretch Bracelet from Baroni, which retails for $75.00.

White Lotus HomeI've always tried to treat my bedroom as a sleep sanctuary and have taken great pains to make sure that the lighting (or lack thereof), linens, mattress and pillows are all conducive to a great night's rest.  Any time you spend 1/3 of your life doing something, you should enjoy it, right?  Sleep is such a recooperative process and denying yourself a good night's rest is only going to cause more problems down the road.

The one thing I never understood is why children shouldn't be afforded that same level of luxury when it comes to their bedding and linens.  White Lotus Home is an environmentally conscious company specializing in creating handmade natural and organic bedding products for your home.  I recently had the chance to review a 100% natural cotton sheet set for Riley's room.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the Twin-Size 100% Natural Cotton Sheet Set in Light Blue from White Lotus Home, which retails for $112.00.
