This ink cartridges post was written by me on behalf of LD Products. All opinions are mine.
We use our printer….a lot. Daddy prints stuff for his job, I print coupons and lessons for church and the boys, and even Captain Fussybuckets likes to print the occasional something or other. I don't like to be a cheapskate, but ink cartridges are expensive! We have tried different ways to try and save ink. We have used the "refilling" services at various places and they just don't measure up.

This post about Tropical Traditions Greens has been sponsored. All opinions are mine. I am a big fan of Tropical Traditions. I have ordered from them a few times in the past and the quality is always top notch. I love Tropical Traditions because of what they stand for. The founders of Tropical Traditions are big supporters of family farms and organic standards. They are always against GMOs and thoroughly scrutinize each product they sell to make sure it meets their standards, beyond the traditional organic standards. Tropical Traditions always offers [...]

I love avocados! They are so delicious and good for you, too! Avocados have been called one of the world's healthiest foods because they provide fiber, potassium, folic acid, B vitamins, and Vitamin E and also help the body absorb other nutrients more easily. The fat in avocados is the "good fat" and they're just good for you!
I started making this crock pot Pepperoncini Beef recipe a few years ago, when I saw the simplicity of it. All you do is put a 2-4 lb roast beef (frozen or not!) in a Crock Pot and pour a [...]

Kidorable is a company that makes super cute raingear, backpacks, towels, and more for babies and kids! I've seen their products all over the web, so I was really excited to get to review a raincoat for Captain Fussybuckets!

(It wasn't raining, but he really wanted to wear this adorable rain coat all day!)

The founder of stripedshirt.com, Laura Beck, had a great idea. She wanted to create fun, comfy shirts that came in different color combinations for women, kids, and babies to be able to support their team without painting up! There are many, many different color combinations and stripedshirt is adding new colors all of the time!
We decided to get red and gray to support our local school. The shirts came quickly, in cute, striped packaging and they have performed very well! They're soft and comfortable and cute!
