He or She & Undertease

By 11 Comments

I was really excited when I was contacted by Undertease to review their new light weight Suzy-Q t-shirt line. Being pregnant this summer, I am all about being comfortable and staying cool while hopefully looking cute.

I have tried a few different brands of the layering shirt and have been pretty loyal to one. I had never tried Undertease and I can confidently say I am impressed so far. I received a Suzy-Q shirt in white and a signature shirt in Riviera.

If you want to know the nitty gritty about what sets Undertease apart you can read about their fabric and construction, but what I know is they seem to be a lot more breathable than my aforementioned favorite. I was noticeably cooler wearing these T’s which is a big bonus for those like me who love to layer. They were nice and fitted without feeling clingy and I am in love with the riviera color!! I also like that the edges aren’t left with the surged or merrow stitch look. They are finished, but not in a bulky way.


Signature Cap Sleeve in Riviera, Suzy-Q in White

The Suzy-Q line is said to be thinner, (and thus comes with a smaller price tag $18 instead of the signature $30) but I did not see a huge difference. They were both nicely light weight, but hey with a smaller price tag, I say stock up on the Suzy-Q while they are around.

I just wish they had a crew neck cap sleeve option with a slightly higher neckline all around to go with some of my other pieces.

Now, I mentioned a while ago that I needed a new belly pic,
so here I am in all my glory at 19 weeks.

And who’s in there? Well, it’s a HE. I continue to be outnumbered.
And wish us luck in coming up with another boy name we can agree on.

George Foreman Next Grilleration Jumbo Grill Review (CSN Stores)

By Leave a Comment

Happy Birthday to me from CSN Stores! I got my Next Grilleration George Foreman Jumbo Grill in the mail! This baby is the best. Want to know why, read on!

George Foreman Next Grilleration Jumbo Grill in Platinum - GRP99

  • Adjustable temperature, she’s hot on multiple levels!
  • Adjustable timer, especially important for me because I forget how long things have been cooking.
  • Removable, dishwashable plates! Heaven!
  • Big grilling surface for multiple servings. I swear you can fit like 5 chicken breasts on that thing!
  • Cooks fast! With heat on both sides it cooks through evenly and quick!
  • You can literally watch fat drip away! Bye Bye extra calories!
  • 2 year warranty
  • Who doesn’t love a nice sleek platinum/black combo.
We have owned and loved this grill since we got married 6 years ago. So why, why did we need a new one? Well, we were lazy and would put the plates back on to the grill without taking it off of the cupboard shelf and after 5 years of sliding those plates over that poor little sensor button under the bottom plate the little wire disconnected and we killed the poor dear. We have mended our ways and will not be so lazy as to not actually fully open the grill to replace the dishwashed plates. This is a fair warning to all. Repent ye of your slothfulness. 😉

Ok, so you are probably feeling a little grossed out about my love for this appliance (we have been having dinner together for 5+years now). Kind of like sitting in the room with an engaged couple all starry eyed and smoochy. I would recommend it to anyone, but will get on with the review.

It may seem a bit pricey at first glance ($100) but trust me, it’s worth it!

A big thanks to CSN stores for my fab new grill! They have been super to work with and were great to help me with any questions I had. I am a big time online shopper so I love that they have everything from sofas and luggage to Cookware and Office Supplies. Their customer service was top notch and I look forward to shopping with them again!

FTC Disclosure: I was provided the grill for review from CSN stores, but have paid full price for one before and would do it again!


Also, The winner of the $25 Fibers.com voucher is Msilba! Congrats!

Potatobug Photography Review & Giveaway

By 65 Comments

Now, as you know, we recently had a photo shoot at Wheeler Farm. Our photographer was Katie Eavenson from Potatobug Photography and she does amazing work!

I was anxious about how my little guy was smiling (he was making faces I had never seen before) and if he might get dirty and she put me totally at ease.

Katie had a great trick to get him to look in to the camera by asking if he could see the monkey in the lens. That is how we got this adorable monkey noise face.

I was impressed that she could keep up with this little guy, even while 7 mos. pregnant!

I love how she captured so many facets of his personality.

My sis says the one below on the right looks like a GAP ad.

All I can say is that I love this kid and I am so happy we captured him at this age so I can always remember my crazy, adorable, silly, rambunctious, curious, loving, little boy.

I was amazed that one week after the shoot I had the fully edited images on a cd in my mailbox. I have all the printing rights and can print as many as I want and I pretty much want them all! Owning the printing rights is important to me.

Katie also sent a list of suggested companies to use for enlargements, books, etc which I think is really helpful considering she probably knows the good ones!


In addition to child shoots,
Katie does infant and family shoots.


Potatobug Photography is available for shoots in Salt Lake & Cache County, Utah and Franklin County, Idaho.

Essential Swimwear Review & GIVEAWAY {Now Closed}

By 129 Comments

I am so excited to be doing this review for Essential Swimwear. I saw them on Studio 5 and fell in love with their adorable tankinis. I was excited to be able to choose my own swimsuit to try out. Here’s the one I chose:

(Here’s what it will look like if you are white and freckled and your arm can only reach out so far to take the pic. Plus, there is no way I was putting a full body shot of myself on here. I get props for being brave right?! There, proof that I actually wear this suit.)

I adore the ruffles and love that the tank is long so I don’t have to worry about it creeping up while playing in the water with my 2 year old. Plus, if I am having a chubby day, I can scrunch it up and make it look like it has ruching. Ha!

They have tons of cute styles to choose from and did I mention the pricing?! You can get both pieces for just over $50! None of this $80-120 silliness!

So why do I love Essential Swimwear:

  • My suit fit right straight out of the package. Not an easy task when ordering online!
  • The suits are modest, but still super cute!
  • The top has cups sewn in. None of this showing the world you are cold. You will feel properly supported. 😉
  • The top has ties so it is adjustable, great for when you need a little more space up top if you are nursing and or preggo.
  • It is super long so I could even wear it as a maternity suit for quite a while.
  • There are no weird gaps around the booty of the suit. It’s snug where it should be.
  • The quality is high. It is not something that is going to fall apart after a few uses.
  • I can feel good that I am supporting a local woman run business.

So, now for the best part!
