Products I Love

I will ONLY endorse materials that I can firmly stand behind, that I feel offer something valuable to everyone, that are well worth the money, and that will have a positive and immediate impact on your life/lifestyle.

To that end, here are links to purchase coconut oil; eBooks/printed material; real food related eCourses/menu planners/other products; health/personal care prodycts; parenting products/services; and child/baby gear.

I would appreciate it if you would purchase these items directly through these links. I will be honest...I get a little something in return from some (not all of them) which helps keep me blogging! (Affiliates are marked with a *.)

I hope that my recommendations are as valuable to you as they are to me. 95% of the products I am endorsing here have been products that I have discovered on my own, researched thoroughly, and then purchased. A few of the ebooks have been provided to me for the purpose of reviewing only AFTER I specifically requested them. I do not currently, nor will I even, do a paid review on my blog.

Ok – enough of that. On to the great products!
