Where are you from? and a little bit about you I'm Leyla. Yes, like the Clapton song. I'm from beautiful Central Oregon where the sun shines 300 days a year. I live in Salem right now (just south of Portland)....where it rains 300 days a year. I might be exaggerating a little bit but that's what it feels like right now. I hate the rain. My husband and I will eventually move back to Central Oregon. Speaking of....we got married six months ago. He's pretty cool. I like being married to my best friend.

Lauren B Photography Review and GiveawayCLOSED
“Never buy a piece of art that you don't have to have. You know, don't worry about who the artist is or how much it's worth. I mean, you have to live with it everyday. You have to walk by it everyday. You have to really love it; you have to really appreciate it. It's kind of like picking a mate.”-Jenifer Aniston in The Breakup I am no stranger to the flash of a camera. I grew up with a mom who would do ANYTHING to get us kids to sit down for a photo shoot. She later started a photography business. I also have an Uncle who gets to travel around the world taking his stunning photos and sharing them at art galleries. I love photographs and I know a good photo when I see it! That is why I was so excited to be able to do a review and giveaway for LaurenBPhotography’s! Getting To know Lauren Where are you from? and a little bit about you I was born and raised in Prescott, AZ.

GoGo Squeez
I am creating this post as a little contest per say. You see I had asked to review and giveaway GoGo Squeeze Applesauce but the company did not choose me! WHAT?? Okay they are forgiven. But they are offering 8 Bloggers a chance to win some of their wonderful product. As most of you know I am a competitive person, I mean COMPETITIVE! So of course I have to do it! Plus I would love to try their 100% Fruit with No added sugar!! So here is what they are asking for…… 1. Your personal tips or anecdotes on how to get your kids to eat healthy food, stay fit, go play outside and be happy. Healthy eating at my house is not that hard to do. The husband and Daughter would not be able to eat anything if they did not eat healthy. About 6 months ago my husband and I decided that we were going to cut ALL junk food out of your grocery list’s each week. It has been wonderful! Also, about a month ago we started my daughter on a gluten free diet which cut out the breads and pastas and moved us to eat … [Read more...]

YoCrunch Review and Giveaway!CLOSED
We eat a lot of yogurt at my house. I mean A LOT. My daughter eats yogurt every day for breakfast! It is her favorite thing in the world! That is why I was excited when I got the chance to review Breyers New YoCrunch 100 Calorie Packs! Some Facts you might like to know: • YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Packs are the first yogurt products to be naturally sweetened with Truvia™ rebiana. • YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Packs are the only calorie-controlled yogurt products that are naturally sweetened, providing all the taste of full-calorie low-fat yogurt but without all the calories and sugar. • Made with no artificial sweeteners, YoCrunch® 100 Calorie Packs have added Vitamin A and D, and are a good source of calcium and protein. My Thoughts I loved it! I enjoy plain vanilla yogurt anyway; so when you add in something like Cookies then it’s a winner in my eyes! I also love that it is only 100 Calorie’s!! Not that it makes much of a difference to my 4 year old what the calorie … [Read more...]

Mothers Day Giveaway
I have a special Mothers Day Giveaway today! One lucky reader will be able to win this genuine faceted sapphire pendant! The pendant is 1 ct. in an oval cut/shape and wrapped in 14K rolled gold wire. Getting to know thependantbox Where are you from? and a little bit about you I am originally from Nanaimo, B.C. but I am now living in Victoria, B.C. Canada. I enjoy spending my time with my pets and children, and to relax and unwind, I hand make jewelry. I find it soothes me to create something special with my hands that is unique for each piece. How did you decide on your shop name? I was trying to think of something catchy, but not too long, not too boring. Was staring at the pendant box of my very first pendant I had made, and - voila - a name was born for my shop! Why did you start your business? I have been fascinated with genuine gemstones since I was a child. Always buying the biggest genuine opals (my favorite stone!) and making my own. As a teenager, I … [Read more...]
