2015-06-26T15:02:00.000-06:00

Quality Encapsulations Omega 3 Fish Oil Review We all know the wonderful benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, but often times we aren't consuming enough of these beneficial ingredients with our daily intake of food. And that's where supplements come in. I was given the opportunity to review a fish oil supplement 3 weeks ago in exchange for my honest and unbiased

Leven Rose Rosehip Oil Review

2015-06-25T15:03:00.001-06:00

A few weeks ago, I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased feedback. To be honest, I'd never heard of this type of product before. But since I enjoy learning about natural products and appreciate even more getting to review them, I was excited to try Leven Rose's Rosehip Oil on my own skin. Let's face it, I'm not getting any younger. The signs of my aging are

Elleda's Organic Vitamin C 20% Serum Review

2015-05-08T06:45:00.000-06:00

I was given the opportunity to review another skincare product this past month. It's Elleda's Organic Vitamin C 20% Serum, containing 72% organic ingredients and 98% natural. This type of skincare is in my interest because it's more on the natural side, promoting ingredients the earth provides to help repair our skin from harsh environmental factors instead of using products containing

Skleer Review and Giveaway

2015-04-29T16:14:00.001-06:00

I came across Skleer a few months ago when I was searching for a product that would help restore my skin from the harmful effects of the environment and to renew the natural glow to my skin. After the harsh winter in my arid environment, my skin feels dull and lifeless. With summer approaching, I want to revive my skin's health and the first place I look are products made from

The Birth Story of Luca Louis

2013-08-28T15:16:00.001-06:00

As Luca's birth reached 8 weeks ago last weekend, I realized I had better put his birth story into words before memory of it began to fade. I feel as though it happened only yesterday, or maybe a week ago. The days leading up to his birth and his delivery day are still so fresh and beautiful in my mind. But just as I'm slowly putting his newborn clothes away because he is

Pregnancy in Toxic Land

2013-03-02T08:02:00.001-07:00

Last week, I wrote an article for Moms Clean Air Force, a national clean air blog. It's a personal story about my experience as an expectant mother living in a place where toxins in our air often times exceeds the national standards for acceptable air. Below is the article: http://www.momscleanairforce.org/2013/02/25/pregnancy-in-utah/ Mommy Bridget

It's been a LONG time since I've posted anything on my blog but I couldn't keep this one away from you all, no matter how incredibly busy my family keeps me. I was looking for a good bath soak for my family to relieve our wintry dry skin and found a simple recipe to use. And lucky for us, I had a large bag of dried lavender from last year's harvest just waiting to be used. You

In Loving Memory of My Little Latti

2012-12-08T10:08:00.001-07:00

Anyone who has known the love of and for a pet understands the unshakable bond that connects us to them. I had the opportunity in my life to feel this unconditional love for an animal and on Tuesday of this week had to say good-bye to her, my first baby, my best friend, my sweet little Latti. I first moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in the fall of 1998.&

Mia Mariu Skin Care and Cosmetics Review

2012-10-12T17:28:00.001-06:00

I had the lovely opportunity to review some products from Mia Mariu's skin care line and cosmetic line. I am always interested in great products that care for my skin without damaging it and enjoy using make-up from time to time when going out on a night on the town or for that special occassion. Who doesn't?! And even though my husband says I don't need make-up, I know

Labelling young Children Part III: Telling Our Story

2012-10-11T14:01:00.000-06:00

I'm not sure if I have the time to write everything I want regarding labelling our children. There may be a part IV to this so I can better explain our story. As many of you already know, we had some struggles the first few years with our son Park's development and behavior. Park didn't meet the important milestones of communication with us and socially grew distracted. It

Labelling Young Children Part II: Are We Over Diagnosing?

2012-10-08T11:19:00.003-06:00

My aunt passed this magazine article from WebMD along to me over the past summer. As many of you know, we spent the last few years with doctors and specialists either trying to diagnose our 4 year old Park with autism/behavioral disorders/language delay (which he has). I don't want to undermine the big strides Park made with the Early Intervention program but we were always skeptical

Labelling Young Children Part I: The Doctor Diagnosis (a repost of "Please Don't Label My Child")

2012-09-16T13:07:00.002-06:00

I am sharing this post I wrote over a year ago with all of you because it is the first part of my upcoming 3 part series I will write about diagnosing children with behavioral issues at a young age. My reason for doing this is, first of all, because I have many new readers and I feel if there was only one thing I'd like my readers to take from my blog it would be my experience with my son Park

Ever had this dilemma? How do you feel about friends or family members bringing their sick and contagious children into your home? This topic, so widely discussed, has been on my mind for days now while I watch my youngest fight a cold and now while I fight my own. When is it okay to tell your loved ones to please avoid bringing their cold bugs into your home?
