20% off Discount Code: Two leaves and a bud Organic Earl Grey Tea
A long, long time ago, legend has it that Earl Charles Grey was shipping black tea and bergamot oranges in the same cargo. When the Earl’s ship finally arrived at port, it was found that the black tea had absorbed the essence of bergamot into a perfectly balanced black tea with light citrus notes. Earl Grey was born.

Shutterfly Spring Announcements
Spring has officially sprung! And with the spring seasons comes many things to celebrate in my own family! For instance, my daughter Melody will be celebrating her 3rd birthday! Hard to believe three years have passed since I was putting together her birth announcements to share with my family and friends! 
This time last year, almost to this very day, we moved into our current home! It’s something to celebrate because we’ve been nothing but happy here. I really regret not sending out more moving announcements during that time, especially seeing all the really cute ones available at Shutterfly!
Speaking of Shutterfly, I’ll be putting together a collection of my photos into one of their photo books for the spring season! I finally caught up to date on books from 2006 to now! That’s saying a lot because it usually takes me forever to go through photos and put together albums but with Shutterfly it’s very easy and I love all of their different layouts and options for personalization! And they are affordable starting at just 12.99! I’m already thinking of my mom and how happy she would be to have a photo book of the grand kids for the season.
What does Spring have in store for you? For us it’s celebrating our first born daughter. It’s our annual visit to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Field. It’s celebrating where we’ve currently settled down. It’s celebrating Easter both the fun of chicks and chocolate bunnies and of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s celebrating coming together with friends and family through parties and barbecues.
These special times most certainly need to be announced and the photos taken perserved in a special way. Shutterfly is a good place to look for all your spring announcement needs and a plus is they are easy to use and are quite affordable!

Bath Luve {review + giveaway}
Make bath time is breeze with Bath Luve, a product created by a mom just like you and me whom hated to see her child quiver and cry because he was cold during his baths! This mom set out to do something about this well known issue and thus the Bath Luve was created!
The Bath Luve is a 100% percent cotton character drape that you put into the water and then place over your baby’s shoulders and the rest of their body. This keeps your baby warm, calm, and happy during bath time! Plus it makes for some pretty adorable bath photos without exposing your little one to the world.
There are a few different character designs to choose from. I like the variety of designs as you could easily choose one specific to your bathroom theme! I was able to review the blue fish Bath Luve and the Bath Luve Buddy Fish for my three month old baby boy.
The Bath Luve Fish design that I am using with my little boy is wonderful! It truly does keep him warm and happy during baths! And it also keeps me dry from unwanted accidents which sometime occur when bathing a little boy, if you know what I mean!
The Bath Luve Buddy Fish is also a fun little pal! It’s a great for soaking up warm water to squeeze on the Bath Luve. It’s the perfect washcloth and a fun toy! We are totally thinking about investing in the other Bath Luve designs so we’ll always have one on the ready during bath time!
I’m going to recommend this to all new mom’s who may not know about the Bath Luve because I just think it’s incredibly ingenious and would make bath time more enjoyable for them and their babies.
You can purchase the Bath Luve in three different designs a yellow duck, green frog, and either a blue or pink fish . The Bath Luve products retails for $6-14.99 and are available at Kohl’s, Wal-Mart, Amazon, as well as the One Step Ahead catalog. They are also currently available online from their website too. I have no doubt that this would also be a pretty creative and well received baby shower gift!
