Spotlight on PR

Where to start?

I have 3 kids. Sissy is 7 1/2 yrs old. Bubbie is 3 yrs old. Baby Girl is almost 15 months! Time sure flies... I'm a pediatric nurse, CPN. I work 2 weekend nights! Some days are hard, especially if I have to stay up. Blogging and the internet help me stay up. I actually started this blog so I can get extra entries into giveaways. That was about a few months ago. Now I'm interested in doing reviews and giveaways. I would like to buid a relationship with companies and/or PR firms to do review and/or giveaways geared toward families and/or green living. Who doesn't want to try out the newest & latest products? Would love to be contacted by you at amomof3dolls@yahoo.com

I started cloth diapering full-time in February of this year. My stash as grown since that time! It all began with trying to potty-trained Bubbie. He was going through so much disposable training pants!!! I looked into cloth diapering. It was a little intimidating: styles, price, retailers, etc. I brought only 5 diapers to start! Definitely can't start out with only 5! My first blog site that I visited was the Cloth Diaper Whisperer. I'm trying to go green by buying products that are all natural, if not organic. There's more option to go green then it was even a year ago. We do A LOT of recycling at our house. My nieces thinks I'm going overboard with recycling and being green. My DH just goes along with me! Smart man :D Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you soon!

Interest also in doing a Spotlight on PR? Visit Feels Like Home. This will run through the entire month of August.

Buttons!

I'm beat. I tried to put all my buttons at the bottom of the blog but they didn't look very good. The buttons were all diffferent sizes. I tried to resize it but then the button (only tried one button) wouldn't work properly. That took a long time trying to figure out what I was going to do. I gave up but keep it at the bottom. Any suggestions? I decided to organizing my button on my blogroll, alphabetically!!! That also took a long time :) Does anyone know an easier way to resize the button but also have the buttons work properly???!!! Tried photobucket. I was able to resize but button wouldn't function properly! Tried another free online sizing but got nowhere! Help!

{ CLOSED } Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Review & Giveaway!!!

This is my 1st review & giveaway so be gentle :) I'm still new about blogging! Tropical Traditions is giving away a 32 ounce Virgin Coconut Oil to my readers!!! It's Certified Organic and has multple usage in cooking, skin care, even health benefits. Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil has natural antioxidant properties & 50% of lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acids!

I learned that lauric acid is found in mother's milk. I know how important first milk is since I've breastfed all 3 of my kids. I've just weaned Baby Girl just weaned herself. It's been a couple of months now. Luckily, she was 12months ago when she decided to do that. And for mama using formula, it's also an ingredient in baby formula. All babies benefit :) I also receive the book, Virgin Coconut Oil, which as over 100 personal testimonies & over 85 recipes in the benefits of the virgin coconut oil. You can get this free by using my referral numbers (5253768) & directions below.  

Cooking: I'm not much of a cooker or baker; but as long as I have the recipe & ingredients, I'll give it a try. Sometimes it doesn't come out as I wanted; plus I have picky eaters at my house!!! I've given up at trying something new at the moment but I've tried the coconut oil to fry up some turkey burgers. There's just a hint of the coconut but I didn't noticed much difference! The Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is colorless like other oils except it is not hydrogenated and contains no trans fatty acids.  

Skin: I've tried this on Baby Girl and myself. For me I have a small patch of eczema on the side of elbow. I've only used the Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil once on my skin. The outcome: no more itching and it's been a few days!!! If I use it again, I'm sure the dryness will be gone. For Baby Girl I've used it on her diaper area and tiny bumps on her shins. The redness from the diaper area is gone in a couple of applications. We use cloth diapers & she is very sensitive to any wetness! The bumps on her shin actually either shrink or went away!  

Get it:Shop at Tropical Traditions for oil, organic food, skin care products, household goods, supplements, and more!!! Free book, Virgin Coconut Oil, when you use my referral numbers (5253786) on your first online order. See Referral Program instructions below. Retail for $25 (on sale now for $14.99)-Yours Free.
