Happy 7th Birthday to ClassyMommy.com
I can't believe that we're celebrating our 7th Blogiversary. I call ClassyMommy my 3rd baby and it is so fun to see how she has grown up. We just celebrated 3 million YouTube video views this week too. Hard to believe that what started on a bit of a whim as a little baby blog has grown up so much. Little Kenzie was only 6 months old when I started the blog one afternoon when she was napping. My first post was literally me just figuring out how to upload a photo so I popped up a picture … [Read More]
I Heart Nail Art from Sally Hansen
7 year old Kenzie and I had a total blast experimenting with new products from Sally Hansen - especially this brand new Nail Art Pen. Ultra simple to use and definitely worth buying if you are interested in trying fancy trendy nail manicures from home. Even my 7 year old could master it with zero instruction from Mom. Awesome! I admit that I am no manicurist and tend to find trying fancy "styles" on my nails difficult beyond a simple layer of colorful polish, but using a nail pen - that … [Read More]
Sweating the Mom Stress: What’s your Secret?
This post is sponsored by Secret. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. What are your most stressful and sweat inducing Mom moment's? My busy days as a Mom may be filled with lots of fun, games, and joy, but they are no leisurely picnic either. I remember when my littles were babies, people said to be sure to relax, enjoy the moments, and that things would only get busier and more crazy as my children got older. Never before have I received such sage advice. I love being a … [Read More]

We Love Happy Family Organic Foods for Babies and Kids!
I'm somewhat obsessed with the Happy Family brand which offers organic superfoods galore for babies, toddlers, and even kids. Kyle was a "Happy Baby" 5 years ago as a little newborn when he went for his 1st Baby Cereal at about 5-6 months of age and Happy Baby was the ONLY baby cereal he would consume. I went to business school with the co-founder of Happy Family foods, so I've always been enamored with their mission to provide healthy organic foods to babies and that with every product sold, … [Read More]

Bounty DuraTowel Review
As part of my role as a P&G Blogger, I was hired to put my dirty dishcloth to the "germ test" after 3 days of use so we could get some lab tests done on the germs that accumulate on dirty dish towels. The brand new Bounty DuraTowel is 3X cleaner than a germy dish cloth and in the case of my home, I must report it is probably a zillion times cleaner then my dirty dish rags! P&G sent me a special dish rag to use on my counters (without any soap) to wipe down mess and meals for 3 … [Read More]
