The Best Fragrance Diffuser For Busy Moms
Moms, how do you keep your house smelling fresh? Between the constant messy house and the generally smelly kids, I find it difficult to keep the aroma in good status. Or at least I did before I tried the Pura smart diffuser. With four boys in my house, the odors can be overwhelming. They play hard and are just pretty gross in general, as you can imagine. It is difficult to keep things clean and even after cleaning, sweaty little boys that play outside a lot just stink. The smelly socks/shoes, the great outdoors, and the obsession with tooting is quite difficult to mask. Thankfully, Pura came into my life…

The thought of chaotic school days doesn’t have to give you anxiety though. We have some tips for getting into a laid-back school time routine.

You Can Now Own A Piece Of Mobile’s Historic Battleship
As Mobile natives, we grew up taking field trips to the USS Alabama Battleship, learned about it’s history, and have taken our own kids to visit. For those that aren’t familiar, the ship is named the Mighty A and was used in many battles, including some during World War II. We suspect that most locals could at least say they have visited once and that their kids know exactly where it is when crossing over Mobile Bay. After 80 years, the deck finally had to be replaced. The wood is being cleaned and created into keepsakes, so others can own a small piece of history. Each salvageable plank is being…
