Riley 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 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'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!

Speaking as a mom and caretaker of my home and family, I'm always concerned about how clean the items my family comes in contact with are.  Their very health and well-being are determined by the spread of harmful germs and contaminants which are crawling on both our food and household possessions.  So how can you quickly, easily and SAFELY sanitize your home's contents without compounding the problem through poisonous cleaning chemicals?

Allow me to introduce you to the Lotus Sanitizing System from Tersano.  Recently, I had the opportunity to review the LSR100 sanitizing system which allowed me to clean and sanitize absolutely everything using only tap water.  Keep reading to learn more!

With back-to-school season right around the corner, you may already be contemplating how you are going to pack your child's lunch for school this year.  Most folks use a variety of plastic baggies to pack the various foods and snacks in their child's lunch, which is bad for the environment and causes a ton of undue waste.

If you'd like to find a "greener" way to pack snacks and sandwiches for your child, then please keep reading about the "Bag Your Snack Stuff!" line of reusable bags from Planet Wise.

This post brought to you by Sunkist Growers. All opinions are 100% mine.

Oranges are definitely one of my favorite fruits, which is good since they are packed with healthy vitamins and antioxidants.  I thought I knew pretty much all there was to know about oranges, until I watched the Sunkist Valencia Oranges Re-greening Video.

In this video, Chef Robert Dahni explains how Sunkist Valencia oranges may occasionally "re-green" in warm weather. When Valencias ripen on the tree, they turn a bright orange color but warm temperatures may make their skin reabsorb chlorophyll as they hang on the tree causing the orange color to look partly green—although the outside is green, the inside remains ripe and delicious!
