Things I’m Loving – Recently

Posted on May 9 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

Periodically, some of my favorite blogs do posts about things they’re loving. I think this is a great idea, so I decided to do one of my own.

1- Footlogix – Where MEDI meets PEDI – I came upon this company by accident. I went for my first pedicure of the season and my feet were bad. I knew they were, which is why I opted for the FULL pedicure. The nail technician asked me about my feet and whether I used lotion daily and I had to admit that I hadn’t been. She recommended this foot mousse, and since I’m a sucker for beauty products, plus who doesn’t want cute feet in the summer, I went ahead and bought it. I am SO in love! It is easy to use and absorbs quickly, and it’s really keeping my feet soft. It’s been two weeks since my pedi, and my feet feel like it was just a few days ago. Woohoo!

2. Blogelina’s eBook Bundle for Moms (that’s an affiliate link) – I’m a huge fan of the Blogelina website, but she’s seriously outdone herself. She is giving away an entire eBook bundle packed full of tips and tricks for monetizing your blog and for making it better. Yes, seriously free! I signed-up myself, not sure if it was really free – but it totally is!! You can see (or click) the imagine below for everything you get for free.

3. Hug Time (another affiliate link) – This is Emmett’s favorite before bed book, and we read it nightly (twice). Despite having read it about 300 times in the last month, I love the book and the message that it portrays. It’s a great book that Baby Doodah and I highly recommend.

4. Potty Train in a Weekend Click here to view more details (affiliate link) – We’re not quite ready to start potty training Emmett, but we’re definitely beginning to think about it. This book is an AMAZING guide to doing it all in 1 single weekend. I’ll be doing a full review of it soon, stay tuned.

5. theSkimm – One of the best most recent finds I’ve come across. Daily, Monday – Friday, they send an email out with the daily news from around the world. The best part is, THEY read everything in depth and summarize it into quick little bursts making it easy to get caught up on what’s going on, but not spend hours doing it. The best part is it’s free! I seriously feel much more educated since I began using their service 2 weeks ago.

And just a few other things….

If you’re interested, you can sponsor Baby Doodah! I have some great options available starting at $5. If you do choose to sponsor my little ole blog, you’ll get to see your pretty blog picture over there —> in my sidebar.

If you love my blog you can follow me on all sorts of social networks! Here are my links: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Bloglovin’, and Google+.

And finally, if you are feeling generous and want to support cancer research, donate to my ride. I’m riding 62.5 miles for Roswell Park Cancer Institute and their Ride for Roswell. Anything will help me reach my goal, and further advance cancer research. Just click HERE to donate.

Okay, that about does it. I appreciate all of my readers, and would love it if you’d share this post with others, using the buttons below.

Your turn!

Blogs I Read – Mommy Blogs

Posted on September 22 by Jillian416 • 2 Comments

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am constantly on the lookout for new, quality blogs to read. AND since word of mouth is the best way to share great blogs, I thought I’d dedicate this post entirely to some of my favorite Mommy Blogs. Enjoy!

My Favorite Mommy Blogs

A Healthy Slice of Life – I think my favorite thing about Brittany and A Healthy Slice of life is her Munchkin Meals link-up. Every first Thursday of the month she shares what her daughter is eating and provides a link-up for other mommies to share what they’re feeding their children. She also shares so much about her daughter, meal prep, the foods she eats and the different products she likes.

Ain’t No Mom Jeans – One of my absolute favorites! Shana shares great fashion finds for the momma. Clothes that are flattering to the leftover baby pooch, bras for saggy boobs and so much more. Shana was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and is currently undergoing chemo. Stop in, read her blog and wish her well. She is an inspiration!

BuyModernBaby.com – A great site for all the new modern finds for babies and kids. Some of the room designs they feature, are items I’d love to buy and decorate my next child’s room with. They’re so beautiful!

Fitness Cheerleader – Janice’s blog is a new find to me, but I’m thrilled that I found it. She’s a working mom with three little girls who also manages to workout and stay in great shape. This blog is highly motivational for me because I’m always struggling with balancing work, exercise, being a wife and being a mom.

Healthy Tipping Point – A favorite and an old standby. I love Caitlin’s blog, always have, always will! She is currently training for a half Iron Man and seeing how much she works out and continues to be a great mom is so SO inspirational.

Kath Eats Real Food – Kath’s blog has so much food inspiration. She shares all the foods she feeds her family and since she is a Registered Dietitian everything is very healthy AND it looks so delicious.

The Alpha Parent – If you’re considering breastfeeding, bookmark this blog! It is pro-breastfeeding, and helps you believe in yourself and your ability as a mother to nurse your baby. There are weekly stories called Triumphant Tuesdays, where mothers share their birth stories and how outside forces tried to thwart their efforts to breastfeed. Reading this blog helped me to understand there is NO excuse not to breastfeed. Check it out!

The Art of Making a Baby – Another standby for me! I’ve been reading this blog since just after Emmett was born. Elena’s photos are stunning (and her daughter is so flippin’ adorable), her articles are always full of great information for new and old moms.

This Little Chickpea – A new find I found while reading A Healthy Slice of Life’s Munchkin Meals link-up. She’s also a working mom, with two kids and manages to keep things healthy in her house. There’s some great motivation to be found here!

There you have it, my current favorite Mommy Blogs.

Your turn!
