Quit counting sheep and sleep with a Wolf

Hey guys, So this post will be kind of different. I am going to make it kind of like a journal entry. So it will be updated over the course of the next 30 to 60 days. Not daily but more like weekly or bi-weekly.

Let me tell you a bit about this company and the awesome mattress that they sent me!







Wolf Corp has been in business since 1873. It is the oldest mattress company in business that is still under continuous family ownership. They focus on building quality products at an affordable price. They are innovators, they focus on their products being easily to ship  and easy to assemble. They are also proud to say their products are all made right her in the USA!






So now lets get down to mattress... THIS THING IS AWESOME! Now granted I have only spent one night on it but we are in love so far! We have a Flippable mattress. Now days most of the mattresses you see today are one sided. there is no flipping you. you have a top and a bottom. Growing up I was always taught you should flip the mattress to give it a bit of a break, you cant really do that when it is one sided. Not this mattress. My mattress is called the Duo Comfort mattress. It is not your typical double sided mattress, It gives you an option. Firm or plush. You choose.

 So with our last mattress we got the I-Comfort from serta I think, and when we tested it out in the store it was good....needless to say 2 month later we where unhappy with our purchase.
But the Duo Comfort is great because it is leaning on the side of more old fashioned mixed with newer technology!

The packaging is quite simple, it arrives in a box, Rather large but tall kind of large not huge wont go through the front door large. I do recommend being able to move 65 pounds, I did not get great pictures of the box. By the time I went to go get pictures D2 had already torn into it. Inside the Mattress was packaged in to layers of plastic. The first layer is the packing that they vacuum pack it in. The second and outer layer of packing is a heavy duty plastic saran wrap to roll it up. I am really impressed that they got 11 inches of matress packed up as small as they did! 

Each Side of the mattress is labeled for convenience. The side we laid face up first is plush. D2 laid down and I think almost immediately decided that the plush is the side we would be on. We did give Firm a brief test run.

In the end we decided to give each side thirty days, so for the first thirty days we will be on the plush side. 

 It does have a cool air technology, which D2 was excited about because he sleeps super hot. So this was a nice surprise!! Even the smallest Human was excited and very comfortable right away!

As for our first night on it, it was alright. I slept quite well, minus every time the small human woke up! I really did not want to get out of it this morning. When XJ got up this morning he climbed up in the bed with me and snuggled, I caught myself dozing and finding myself a prisoner to this bed!



I will make an update on this mattress and how we sleep over the next few weeks and keep you all posted.


In the mean time why don't you consider stop counting sheep and start sleeping with a wolf!!

So here we are on 2.25.2018. 13 days after starting to sleep on the mattress... we are still on the plush side and we are still loving it!! This matress is soooo comfy!!! I will be back up with updates!

Anything but Regular

So I am going to get a bit personal here. I am going to discuss poop and bodily functions, and how important it is to have a health gut. So many of you are like me and here raised to think hey as long as you poop once every few days and you don't have diarrhea for to many days in a row its cool right ? Well I am here to tell you how wrong we all are. For the last few years my mom has been pushing probiotics on me and I think to myself why in hell do I need that ?? I can barely remember to take my multi vitamin in the morning. Between cooking breakfast and prepping lunch and just trying to get out the door. Let alone to take probiotics. But having a healthy gut is so important because not only does it effect your bathroom habits, it effects your health, your mood and other bodily functions.

So let me tell you about Regular Girl. This stuff is awesome...First off Regular Girl is a probiotic and a prebiotic (sunfiber). So lets break down what each of those are.
Probiotics
Your body has Trillions of bacteria. The majority of these bacteria are good for you so they are given the name probiotic. Keeping a healthy of balance of these probiotics is important. A healthy gut determines your bathroom habits. No one wants to have explosive number two if it can be prevented right? Some basic everyday things can really mess this up, so we take probiotics to help aid keeping the balance.
Some of these things  are:
              * Diet
              * Travel
              * Medical Therapy
              * Aging ( I have noticed this one has really changed my bathroom habits as the last few years have gone by.
              * Stress (Lord knows when I get to stressing my stomach gets all sorts of out of whack.)
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are basically a food for probiotics. It is important to find a prebiotic that does not cause excess gas and bloating or loose stool. The Prebiotic that is used on Regular Girl is called SunFiber. Sun Fiber is a grade A fiber and has a ton of nutritional benefits. In addition to all of these benefits, it is the perfect food for probiotics.

In addition to the 5 grams of SunFiber that is used in Regular Girl, the probiotic that is used has * Billion CFU of Bifidobacterium ( also known as B.Lactis).It works in harmony with the Sunfiber and is extremely resistant to pH and Bile conditions of the gut. B.Lactis is also important to help improve immune functions and protect against inflammation

So When should you take your probiotics. Any Time of the day is ok, but they say they say that you should make a habit of taking it in the morning to get regular. What about is it safe an natural? Regular Girl is totally safe! When taken at the recommended dose, it is perfectly safe!! As far as natural goes, Regular Girl is non GMO, is certified kosher, 100% Gluten Free, vegan and has NO sugars, preservatives and additives.

It is so safe and natural that you can even take it while pregnant and breast feeding. ** As with all supplements please seek the professional opinion of your health care provider before taking** It is even safe for children 9 months and older to take one dose of 6 grams. Awesome! so you can use this probiotic for the whole family!!

Other than the health benefits of Regular girl, it has some other cool ones too! for starters, each serving is just 10 calories. and here is my favorite benefits, No gritty texture and NO TASTE. so my water just tastes like water and it dissolves so well my water looks like water too! I love the on the go packets as well! I keep a few in my purse just in case  I forget to take mine in the morning. I have some with me.

So wanna try some of this awesome stuff for yourself ???Lets get to the giveaway!! I have a 10 day sample of the on the go packets and some literature for Two lucky readers.

Essential Oils and jewelry

So this will make for my second Essential oils post in the last week. I have been on this kick of using essential oils lately. Some of you know and for those of you who don't know, I am a hot mess when it comes to problems...I pretty much live in constant pain. Now for the most part my pain is either manageable, or I have just learned to push through it and not whine about it. But that was until I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri. This pain sucks.... If you don't know what it is, click here Psuedotumor Cerebri and get educated on it.  I get these killer headaches that make me want to curl up and die. Usually the pain is between my eyes, and it feels like I have an Ice Pick being dug in my head. I can not handle lights and noises. Nothing Helps, no amount of ibuprofen, caffeine, nothing, it all fails. Then someone asked me if I had tried essential oils. First off I had no idea what essential oils where and second off if the prescribed medicine from my neurologist was not working, why would some oil work ?? So of course I was skeptical. But then I got pregnant, and with pregnancy headaches get worse, and I was limited on what I could take medicinal wise.... So desperation kicked in. Thus an obsession was born!

It Started with a scoop of coconut oil, and equal amounts of Lavender, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus Essential Oils and boom.... my headache subsided within fifteen minutes... my eyes have been opened. As time has gone I have dabbled in Essential oils and I have discovered that they help with several physical issues and you can use them around the house too! I was super excited to start using them in my daily life now.

now let me Introduce you to Mtnittany Creations. Her name is Amber and she is really a jack of all trades! She is a blogger and a creator! She even goes out of her way to feature other creators and bloggers!! She has an all around Awesome Etsy, but today I am going to feature her Diffuser Jewelry. She agreed to do a review  on my blog and I have to say I AM IN LOVE with this diffuser bracelet!! 

I love this! I really can't say it enough! Normally I carry my headache blend on me in a roller bottle, but I have found it can get a bit messy when I place it on my wrists. I work in a dry cleaning business, so having oil on my hands just freely wandering about is a no go, and since I don't have a choice in when I get a headache it is really hard to manage my headaches when I am at work.  But a huge thanks to this bracelet, the lava stones traps in the oils and it does not transfer onto my clothes. and the use of the essential oils is as simple as picking up my wrist and taking a wiff!! I chose a silver chain, and I love the two blue turquoise beads on the ends! it really makes for a great piece of jewelry and it is so simple that it goes with literally anything I wear. It is custom to my wrist size, which is great because I have a fat wrist! Mtnittany Creations has diffuser jewelry for both men and women! necklaces and bracelets!! 

Guess what FOLKS!!!! ITS GIVEAWAY TIME!!! 

One lucky winner will win a diffuser bracelet

Dadas and Kubs

Good Morning Readers!

Today I am bringing you a review of a few companies. Kub Klub and Dadas Western Baby. Both of this companies are operated by one indivuidual and I must say thank you for bringing both of these wonderful companies our way!

So Kub Klub, this is a subscription box, and each one is filled with hand selected items for your little one. So typically I am the tester, but this time my two year old was the tester. 

When we first got the box he wanted to know what was inside. He carried it around until I pried it from his fingers and opened it! 

So this is what came in January's box and he loved every bit of it! 

From snacks to books and toys in between XJ loved it all! He is very fond of the yum earth snacks! This kid loves gummy anything but these I have to say are his favorite. Organic fruit snacks, Gluten Free, and non GMO. Delicious and kind of Addicting! I will admit I may have helped him test these fruit snacks. 

The very first thing he got into when I did get the box open was the very colorful blocks by begin again toys! He loves these blocks and the different ways he can work with them, I love that they come in an awesome wooden box for neat and easy storage! Begin again toys has a wide variety of toys, and we have already started looking at purchasing for the little mans 3rd birthday! 

The Box also came with a train whistle. Growing up I loved the wooden train whistle that my grandpa had, so when I saw this I was a bit nostalgic.

The box also had a book, Say Zoop, which I got a kick out of! It keeps him interested in in reading and makes you want to keep going! 

The last few items in the box that XJ got to enjoy was COLORS!! A melissa and Doug pad of paper, and Eco Friendly Crayons, by eco kids. They are crayons made of Natural Wax and Color Pigments.  I think my favorite part of these crayons is the lack of paper. Because my son is two, he breaks the crayons, and after I peel back the paper of crayola crayons I just have more of a mess than I need. So this is a huge bonus with me!! On Saturday he went to work with me ( because well no day care on saturday) and he sat like this coloring for close to two hours! this was awesome!! 

So Kub klub is worth the subscription. The prices vary on subscriptions, rather you do month to month or pay upfront for a full year. You get quite a few options. They personalize the box for your little one, you can select the box specifically for a boy or girl or even neutral, you enter the little ones birth date and their name. They personalize every box for your little kub! It also makes a great baby shower gift, or birthday gift! 

Go check out Kub Klub to start your subscription!! 

also follow them on Facebook and Instagram. 

 The second company I want to introduce you to is Dadas Western Baby It is run by the same folks that bring you Kub Klub! This momma as inspired to create baby bags blankets and other items! She has such an awesome selection ( I know where I am getting my next baby bag at!) They use leather to make the baby bags! I love it! For this part of the review, XJ got to review a binky blanket.

 Since he is a bit old for a binky we call it his buddy blanket. For most of XJ's life he was at home with me and when he did have to go to daycare, I was usually a teacher in the day care. So he was never not far from me. Now while we have him in a day care that is home based, he still has been going ten hours a day without me. Which is strange for both him and I. For any kid this is stressful. Usually attachments are formed to objects. for a while he was bringing his car blanket to and from day care. He really didn't need to bring a full sized throw blanket to and from school because they have blankets he can use for nap time but I didn't have the heart to tell him no. But then we got Buddy and it was an instant connection!

 I love it because it is small enough he can tote it around anywhere, and it is small enough to fit in my purse or in his baby bag. It is soft and silky and so comforting. He totes it everywhere now! He sleeps with it at home, it goes to the store with us! I recommend these blankets and the full Sized ones! One thing I look for when purchasing new blankets for mr man is the quality of the stitching. I have a two year old so I want something that will hold up. The Stitching on Dadas Balnkets is secure and very durable. Such a great product!! the perfect buddy for a tiny little monster. again even though we do not do the binky anymore, the little handle on the corner of it comes in great use. I can attach a hook to it and attach it to the grocery cart, so no issues of losing it! I Highly recommend both of these wonderful companies for your little ones!!
