Do you like to window shop? I'll be honest. I'm not a window shopper. It always makes me want and knowing I don't have the money to get bums me out. However, if I convince myself that I'm not so much window shopping as creating a wish list, it seems to go better. In this case, I was asked to pretend that I had a $200 gift card to Ramblers Way.  $200 isn't much when it comes to quality and yumminess.

So, what would I buy? I think I would get one of the shirts that you see to the left there. It's a scoop necked top made out of superfine, 18.5 micron Rambouillet wool. Priced at $75, I can't see me buying more than one but you never know! I think I would also get their camisole. It looks so super soft and it would be lovely to wear while working out or just relaxing. Then again, they have a gorgeously soft looking henley that is priced at $90. Hmm...if I added $30, I could have all 3!

I'll be honest though. When I think of wool, I think of my winter socks and things that keep me super warm. I find it hard to imagine wearing wool in the middle of summer. Then again, the sheep do it, so I guess I could too!

Ramblers Way raises Rambouillet sheep while trying to maintain humane and organic farming practices. They bring their sheep in each night and raise their own feed. I love that, if you go to the website, you can actually read about the different sheep that they have. I would love to learn more about how they've created their year round wool products, but sadly that page seems to be missing from their website. No worries, I'll be going back soon to see if it's available!

As some of you know, I have a special needs child. Ben is 10 now and has Cerebral Palsy. While he gets around well enough, I have often wondered about the future. I've wondered if he'll be able to drive like "normal" people. I've wondered if he'll be able to get around on his own. Luckily, I think the answers to both of those questions is yes.

I keep telling myself that I need to start eating better and taking better care of myself. I think I've probably used every excuse as to why I haven't done it. It's no fun cooking healthy just for myself. It's so much easier to eat and prepare the junk. I'll start doing my yoga dvd once I have this room clean or that room clean. I have this great new water bottle and I'm still not drinking enough water. I think what I really need is an accountability partner in this. My other big problem is that sometimes there is so much confusing information out there.

Enter www.wellnessdaily.com. It is this great site with tons of information on it. I've barely started to explore it and I'm planning on registering and checking further into it. Just by glancing at their front page, I saw articles on: eating right, losing weight, staying fit and finding life balance. They also have healthy recipes and videos.

I think I'm going to register there. The first 25,000 people to register will receive a $5 coupon towards Jennie-O products. Plus, if you register you can enter the Twitter contest for a chance to win a WellnessDaily.com prize package which include coupons for a year-long supply of Jennie-O Turkey Store product and a one-year gym membership, valued at $1,250. You just have to Tweet: “Enter to win $ towards a gym membership & JENNIE-O turkey products.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Wheat Food Council. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ok, all of you know that I love websites where you can learn something, feel like you're playing a game and it gives back to people who need it. Plus, let's face it, we also know that I'm a bit of a green geek who wants to grow her own garden this coming year now that I'm in a place where I can do that. So, bring on How Wheat Works. It's this really cool site brought to the internet junkies of the world by the Wheat Foods Council.

How Wheat Works is an interactive program that allows users to plant, harvest, mill, bake and then virtually eat wheat. Each phase only takes a few minutes and then about 24 hours later, you'll receive an email reminding you to come back and do the next phase. Now, the really awesome part of this is that for each person who completes all of the phases, the Wheat Foods Council will donate 2 pounds of flour, up to 90,000 pounds, to OperationHomeFront.net. They're an organization that provide assistance to U.S. troops and their families when they need it.

Have any of you checked out www.wheatfoods.org? I hadn't until today and discovered a whole new world of fun and education on the site. I can't wait to show it to the boys so that they can learn about what a valuable and healthy resource wheat is.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Quiltcreator. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've always wanted to learn how to quilt, but let's face it, I already have about a billion hobbies and can't afford yet another one. So, I leave the quilting to the experts and drool over all of the gorgeous bedspreads and lap quilts that I see on other people's beds.

Well, that could change. You see, today I checked out www.quiltcreator.com. It's this wonderfully made website where you can design a completely custom quilt or bedspread. They have a whole bunch of layouts that you can choose from and the part I loved best was that you get to choose the fabrics that they use and even what color threads for the embroidery! It took me ages to choose which I wanted because there were so many beautiful options.

Now, there are some other fabulous things which have me totally drooling for one of their creations. The quilts are handcrafted and are 100% cotton overfilled with 250g of cotton. From what I've heard, standard quilts are usually only 170g of cotton. Plus, Quiltcreator is one of the few companies out there who is allowed by Cotton Inc to carry the All Natural Cotton Inc. Logo.

If you've read here very much, y'all know that I'm very much about trying to keep our planet healthy and doing what we can to help that happen. So, you can just imagine that I was thrilled when I saw that QuiltCreator gives 1% of their proceeds to 1% for the Planet to help support and save our environment! Yay!

So, how many of you are wondering what my quilt turned out to look like? Well, even though their prices are incredibly fair (trust me, I've priced handmade quilts before), I can't afford to buy one right now. But, I did want to show you all what you can do on their site, so I'm tacking a picture on here for all of you to see.

Isn't it lovely? Plus, it's totally individual because I picked all of the fabrics and where they would be used. Then, I chose all of the thread colors and where to use them. If I were to order this quilt, it would run about $260 and it would be large enough to use as a bedspread for my double sized bed.

So, I know that all of you are super tempted to run over and create your own quilts so I wanted to let you know that QuiltCreator.com is offering 10% off of any purchase if you use the code 104You at checkout. I can't wait to see some blog posts with all of your gorgeous quilts in them! Come back here and leave me tons of comments about your opinions and experiences.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

Back when I was pregnant with the boys (ages and ages ago!), I remember hearing that there were certain foods that you shouldn't eat because they could actually harm the baby. Seafood was pretty high on that list because of the possibility of mercury poisoning. My doctors did tell me, though, that I could eat canned tuna fish (mostly because I was seriously craving it in my mac n cheese!) as long as I only did it in moderation.

A study released in July's issue of Epidemiology (a summary can be found at healthy tuna) is now suggesting that not eating seafood during pregnancy could actually be a bad thing. It suggests that not eating seafood could be related to higher levels of depression. This is because foods like fish are the only naturally rich source of a special omega-3 fatty acid called DHA. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development of our nervous system and visual abilities during the first 6 months of life.

Luckily for me, I didn't suffer from depression while I was pregnant with the boys. It could be because I had that tuna in my mac 'n cheese! Now, if tuna could only have saved my poor couch from the permanent tush indent it received from me being on bedrest!

I don't know about any of you, but the boys and I love Jones Soda. It's an adventure when we go to the store to see what the newest round of labels look like. We love that they're always changing, that the soda is still in glass bottles and that it tastes super delicious!

Now, imagine my delight when I discovered myJones custom soda. You can go to the Jones Soda website and actually design your own labels! Wouldn't that make the most incredible gift? I would seriously love to receive a 12 pack with say these guys on the label:



I could totally see it being the Strawberry Lime flavor (because monkies clearly love the wackier flavors) and being called something like Monkey Madness. It's too late to do this for Christmas this year, but trust me, I'm bookmarking this under my gift ideas section for next year. Maybe I could surprise my ex-husband and his fiancee with a 12 pack with their wedding photo on it for their first anniversary, next year. The options are only as limited as your imagination and with the price being only $29.99 for a 12 pack, that's much more reasonable than a lot of other customized gifts.

Go on over and check out the different options. Jones Soda is one of my favorite sodas and I have no idea why I didn't check out their website sooner. I'm going back now to see what other sorts of gear they sell and to get some ideas for some upcoming birthdays!

Have any of you seen Alice.com yet? It seems like every time I turn around lately, I'm finding something in my inbox about it and I admit, finally my curiosity got the better of me and I had to go check it out. I'm really glad that I did! As most of you know, I live out in the middle of nowhere. As I tell my friend Rob, I live 45 minutes from everywhere. That makes things like shopping a bit on the difficult side sometimes, especially now that the snow has set in. Usually I try to line my shopping up with going to pick up the boys, but without fail, the day after I go, I realize that I'm almost out of dish soap or laundry soap or something that really we don't want to live without.

Now, how does any of this have anything to do with Alice.com ? Well, they're only this totally awesome site where you can order those non-grocery household items that you're always running out of at the worst moment. They'll even remind you when it's time to order them! The best part is that you can register and use this site for free! Plus, if you're like me, you want to save money, not spend more to get things. Well, they go out and they find those online coupons for you and apply them to your order for you! So, less work for all of us busy people. Did I mention that their prices are actually better than my local store and they don't charge for shipping? So, I'm saving money on the products plus I'm saving on gas for my van too! Saving money is a very good thing for any household.

Seriously guys, I can easily see this site becoming one of my favorite sites on the web. I want all of you to go over and check it out as soon as you finish reading this. If you sign up, make sure that you check out their referral program. For every friend that you refer, you'll receive 3% of their total purchases for a year! Plus, your friend will receive $10 in their account after they spend their first $50. If you do sign up, I would love it if you used my link as your referral!

Now, go check them out! Hurry! Sign up and pick out your products right now. I'm going to go and add some dishsoap to my list. I just noticed that we're getting low. I love that it's super easy to add products on their site and then they'll drop me a reminder based on how often I've told them to remind me! Plus, they use duckies as their rating and if you've been to my house, you know how we love duckies around here..hehe
