There’s a part of me, and it’s not very dormant, that’s in love with all things humanitarian. In high school I had the opportunity to go on a few humanitarian expeditions to Mexico, and I fell in love with service. I actually wanted to join the Peace Corps after college, but then I met and married Victor, and the rest is history. When I became aware of Basa Body through my dear friend Jyl of Mom it Forward, I was…

The amazing weekend I had at Mom 2.0 a couple of months ago wouldn’t have happened without some wonderful sponsors. Sponsors who *get* the influence of women blogging, networking, and sharing with one another. My main sponsors, deserve a big round of applause. {insert applause here}. They each get their own post, deservedly, but I’m going to start off with Lark & Loon. I’ve written about Lark & Loon a few times. I absolutely love their clothing, and their motto…

Let’s face it, even though I’m not exactly earning a living with this blogging business, it does come with some pretty great perks. Like being invited to a Goldsmith Jewelers red carpet event with a bunch of hot Utah bloggers. It’s always fun to spend a night chit chatting with my blogging friends while noshing on delicious catering and drinking sparkling cider from swanky glasses. See what I mean about all the hotness? Alma, Kelsey, and me on the red…

Because I’m…

Once I had C I finally understood why legions of moms complained about how difficult it is to find suitable, cute, sturdy shoes that don’t have some kind of truck or superhero emblazoned across the side. Did I mention sturdy? My little C is somewhat of a product tester for durability. The boy can destroy a shoe in ten days flat. Enter Pediped {do you hear the choirs singing halleluia?}. My two favorite shoes for Spring {or Fall, or Winter…
