Ahh...
There is something I love about lemon.
Everything about lemon is nice. The color, the smell, the way it makes everything seem so awake and fresh!
Since I am a lover of lemon, I had to share this new blog post by Train Up a Child.
She shows you how to make Lemon Play Dough with your child and it looks perfect for spring!

How do focus groups work?

Once you get to the group, you will be asked about your perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards a product, service, concept, advertisement, idea, or packaging. Questions are asked in an interactive group setting where participants are free to talk with other group members. (source)
Focus groups typically last up to 2 hours and you can generally earn about $75 to $150 per group.

Have you ever participated in a local focus group before?
Just yesterday, I was chatting with a friend about how difficult it can be to buy gifts for family members. We both agreed that we want to buy meaningful and useful gifts, but they can be hard to find. Shortly after that conversation, I learned about Loggerhead Apparel from my friend Sarah at USA Love List. Loggerhead Apparel goes above and beyond to solve my gift dilemma. Let me tell you why.
mean·ing·ful: Having a serious, important, or useful quality or purpose
By now, everyone knows how important it is to support local businesses. When you shop from local U.S. businesses, more money is invested back into our commmunity. Loggerhead Apparel supports the local textile industry, because 100% of the production process takes place in the U.S. Even shifting a small percent of your spending to focus on local businesses can have a huge positive impact on the American economy.
Buying local also has less of an environmental impact. Locally made products typically use less packaging and leave less of a carbon footprint. But, Loggerhead Apparel takes it a step further. 10% of the revenue from the sale of all Loggerhead Apparel shirts will be donated directly to local causes supporting the conservation and protection of the Loggerhead turtle. I think that's impressive!
use·ful: Able to be used for a practical purpose
Father's day is coming up, and some men are pretty hard to shop for, but, I don't know of any man who wouldn't like top-quality, American-grown, American-made clothing. Whether at work, or at a summer bbq, I think my husband would look great in a Loggerhead polo shirt. And their t-shirts look really nice too. Plus, the company’s polo and tees support US cotton growers by using American-grown supima cotton that is grown in Arizona.
Now for the giveaway!
Here’s your chance to win one Bellwether360 polo, in a men’s, women’s or children’s size, in a color of your choice. It's easy to enter below through the rafflecopter widget. This event will end at midnight Eastern time on Thursday, May 2. There are a variety of entry options including opportunities for multiple daily entries. Good luck!
It's Thursday! You know what that means? It's time for the weekly Kid's Co-op!

In my last blog post, I told you all about Land's End and the Mom Mixer, but there are a bunch of other cool brands, that I want to tell you about too. These brands showcased some hot picks for Spring and Summer 2013! Here's a sneak peek into what they had to share...
There's a little something I like to call "Mommy-me-time." It's a time when you can get away from your normal routine and escape with girl friends. Whether it be a quick coffee hour or a night out, every now and then, it's a must! Whitney, from Mommies with Style, and Colleen, from Classy Mommy, know that good company, good food, and and style are great assets for mommy-me-time. So, they combined it all, and threw a fantastic Mom Mixer!
In my next blog post, I'll give you the low down on all of the great brands I met there, but, now, I'd like to start with one of my favorites, Land's End.
