All Things Merry and Bright at the #MTHoliday Event
I’m one of those “don’t-even-talk-to-me-about-the-December-holidays-until-we-get-through-Thanksgiving” people. I love me my presents and my eggnog and my stocking stuffers and my tree-trimming trinkets, but I don’t like skipping ahead and glossing over fall’s grand finale. ...read more

Getting Schooled in the Latest and Greatest at the #MomtrendsBTS Event

Better for Baby: Inside the #ACUREBaby Event
I’ve got a 15 month old with sensitive skin. I no longer use my regular hand cream (on myself!) because it’s too harsh. I’ve had to start buying an unscented detergent. I can’t even so much as approach her with a sealed tube of perfumed body lotion—for fear that her little body ...read more
