Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
I love decorating my home inside and out. Earlier in the year, I showed some gardening projects my husband and I were work on. Apart from building our flower beds and planting some lovely flowers and bulbs, I love adding nice ornaments and decorations to yard, especially some that ight up! Oxyled is Amazon’s #1 best seller in LED lights for indoors and out! I recently received their Sun, Moon, & Star Light set, and it has made a great addition to my azalea bed. [Read more…]
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Purina®. The opinions and text are all mine.
As you know, my dog and cats aren’t just pets, they are members of the family and the Simply Sweet Home team. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that we recently added a new member to the family, a little black and white kitten named Mina. Today I’m excited to let Mina make her blogging debut and do her first product review and feature. Together she and I will be telling you about a product that every toy and treat loving cat should have: the Friskies® Pull ‘n Play. [Read more…]
As you know, I love sharing helpful hints and products for healthy and beautiful living. One thing I am always interested in learning more about is natural and organic beauty products and solutions. One thing I’ve been hearing about for a while is the wonders of coconut oil, and recently I had the opportunity to try a number of coconut oil products from the folks at Skinny & Co. Today I’m going to give you a quick rundown on those products, and I’m also offering you a coupon code for 15% off everything on their site. The coupon code is SKINNYCO15.
Skinny & Co has a number of products including original raw coconut oil, body butters, sugar scrubs, raw soap, and more. I’ve been able to check out 5 of their products and have been very pleased with their quality. [Read more…]
This year I’ve been discussing how Biz has become my partner in crime against tough stains. Whether there’s dirt and grease on a pair of work pants, ink on a favorite shirt, or hot sauce on a new pair of khaki shorts, Biz is the ultimate non-bleach stain fighter! But did you know that Biz can also be used to clean items other than laundry? The Biz website has great tips and suggestions on how you can use Biz Stain Fighter to clean multiple hard surfaces! I’m talking tubs and showers, counter tops, and even patio furniture! Today I’m “thinking outside the laundry the room” and showing you how I used Biz to clean up carpet stains! [Read more…]

I’m very excited to have my puppy girl assistant Shadow helping me out with today’s post! It celebrates something that is very near and dear to Shadow’s heart: Food and Treats! When it comes to her diet, Shadow, can be quite finicky, so we have certain go-to foods and treats that we always give her, but because we love “treating” her, we are always purchasing new products for her to try, and of course, I always welcome the opportunity to let her sample and review new products.
Most recently, Shadow had the chance to try SmartBones®. SmartBones from PetMatrix are a healthy alternative to Rawhide. They are easily digestible and will help your pet to maintain healthy teeth and gums. And because Shadow actually ate them, I know they must taste good too!
Before we learn more about the treats here are a couple of things about rawhide and why you should look for alternatives to rawhide bones and treats. Rawhide is the inner hide from a cow or other animal that has undergone chemical processing to remove hair and other materials. The rawhide is then ground or used whole, and is formed into various dog chew shapes. According to vets, dogs who eat rawhide, may face certain health risks such as stomach & intestinal blockage and potential ingestion of toxic chemicals used to process rawhide chews. [Read more…]

If you want to be a good wife, parent, and home manager, it is important to adopt healthy habits and good hygiene. Summer’s Eve has been helping women to feel fresh, clean, and confident for years, but what you may not realize is that the brand offers way more than douche products. In fact, the brand offers an array of products for 24/7 hygiene, including bars, body powder, deodorant spray, bath & shower gel, cleansing washes, and cleansing cloths. Recently I received a package of Summer’s Eve Products. Today I’m going to share these with you, and I’m giving you a chance to win your own box of Summer’s Eve products! [Read more…]
If you visit my blog enough, you will become familiar with my little Shadow. She’s the little doe-eyed Chihuahua mix I’m holding in the picture above. Shadow is currently the baby in our family, and as such, she is quite often the center of attention. At any given time of the day, someone in our household is likely playing with her, snuggling her, letting her sit on his or her lap, or feeding her. And despite her small size, she definitely loves to eat! And we love showering her with delicious and nutritious treats. [Read more…]

“Okay! Time out!” As chaos began to ensue in the middle of what was an ordinary day just five minutes ago, have you ever found yourself yelling this very phrase to your kids?” Or have you, perhaps, ever put your child in a place known as “time out” when they did something wrong. If you can say yes to either of these questions, then you know all too well how stressful being a parent can be.
And this chaotic scene is just one moment in your day. There are also other activities to look forward to. They range from cooking and cleaning to carpooling, and from going to your job or working your home based business. While this is all part of being an adult and a parent, it seems almost impossible that you wouldn’t feel a little bit of stress and pressure, trying to tackle this list each day. [Read more…]
