Subscription Box Reviews: Bonjour Jolie #reviews
Disclosure: The August Bonjour Jolie Box was sent to me in exchange for a 100% honest review. All thoughts and opinions are mine, as are the photos. No other compensation was given.

Should Children Be Allowed to Wear Makeup?
While some may think that I favor the use of makeup on children, I, for the most part, do not. When I see children with makeup caked on their faces, whether it be for a pageant, a dance recital/comp, cheerleading comp, etc., I cringe. I’ve also seen pictures of young children at pageants with so much…
Update on My Son and His ADHD
I’ve talked about my son and his behavioral issues on this site in the past, as well as his struggle with ADHD. We tried a couple of medications in the past that helped him for awhile but then eventually made him depressed and a shadow of his former self. As a mom, it was disheartening…

Cutting Red #40 From My Son’s Diet
Awhile back I cut all Red #40 out of Blake’s diet as an experiment to see if it would improve his behavioral issues any. I’d heard from several people I know, as well as my family, that it can cause behavioral issues in children, and once eliminated from their diet, vast improvements would be seen….
Kids Swallow the Strangest Things
If you’re a parent, you’ve probably seen your kid swallow some strange things over the course of their younger years. Heck, if your the parent of older children, you still may have. I distinctly remember former football player friends eating worms. Yuck! Yesterday I read an article about a three-year-old from Portland, Oregon, who swallowed…
