Simple Baker Premium Silicone Baking Cups – Review #thesimplebaker

The Simple Baker Premium Silicone Baking Cups are beautiful, brightly colored silicone baking cups that make baking fun and easy. I tried the silicone baking cups this evening for the first time. I’ve not used silicone baking product before, and I was so surprised! They were very easy to use. I set the baking cups on a cookie sheet and they were flexible but sturdy enough that they held my batter and did not collapse or fold in. The cornbread muffins I made cooked up perfectly. They were golden on the top and the bottom. They did not stick to the liners and very easily popped right out. I am definitely impressed and would use more silicone …

DIY 2015: Bathroom

One of the things I am hoping to do in 2015 is work on some things around our home. We have a limited budget and neither of us are skilled in home renovation or design. However, we still want our home to have a look that we enjoy and still be functional. Since we are not really able to tackle big projects on our own, we are focusing on smaller things that we can do.

The faucet in our bathroom is the one that has been in there for as long as I can remember. My dad owned the house before I bought it, so it’s been the same faucet for several years. It’s just a chrome finish faucet, nothing fancy. …

Dream Team Pets – Promo Code

Dream Team Pets is much more than a bedtime toy-it’s an innovative kid’s sleep aid that helps end the bedtime battles of trying to keep your child in bed.

The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge #ad

Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsored campaign with The Allstate Foundation and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Did you know that domestic violence affects one in four women in her lifetime?! That statistic is much higher than I would have thought. Domestic violence is not just physical – it can be financial or emotional abuse. Financial abuse is just as controlling as physical or emotional abuse. It can make a person feel trapped in their situation, with no funds to escape. PurplePurse.com is an Allstate Foundation dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence and financial abuse – while making it fashionable.

Many people have never even talked about domestic violence. It is something …

Faucet Face Glass Water Bottles – Review

Disclaimer: I received the products shown below for review purposes. No compensation was received. This post contains an affiliate link.

Faucet Face is a company that produces terrific glass water bottles in an effort to curb the senseless use (and waste) of plastic water bottles. Their bottles are more than just pretty – reusable glass bottles feature a BPA free cap and allow you to refill to your heart’s content from your tap or water pitcher rather than using several plastic water bottles per day/week/month/year. In the past, I have been guilty of using plastic water bottles, and so has my family. I was really excited when I was approached by Faucet Face to do a review …
