I Love Pollinators Seed Packets To Benefit Pollinator Partnership

©Botanical Interests

It's National Pollinator Week! Due to Pollinator Partnerships' efforts, in 2007, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved and designated a week in June as “National Pollinator Week”, a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinator Week has now grown into an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats, and beetles.

Botanical Interests invites you to sow your love for pollinators this Pollinator Week, June 20–26, 2016! You can help protect pollinators by purchasing their I Love Pollinators seed packet. All proceeds benefit the Pollinator Partnership's mission of promoting the health of pollinators critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research.

This seed mix grows pollinator-friendly annual and perennial flowering plants that supply pollinators with nectar, pollen, and shelter. So, help the pollinators and our food security by purchasing their I Love Pollinators seed packet and supporting the cause.

Bravado Designs and Baby Buggy Team Up For Buy a Tank, Give a Tank #supportherdream Campaign

#supportherdream

I was provided with a complimentary Bravado Dream Nursing Tank to facilitate this review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else.

Some of my fondest memories as a mom has been breastfeeding my babies. I love being able to hold them close, nurturing them with my milk, and bonding with them as they partake of my liquid gold. These experiences are cherished and treasured by me. I believe that having the right support, information, and essentials are necessary to be successful at breastfeeding.

Buy A Tank. Give A Tank. You can celebrate the brand new Dream Nursing Tank from Bravado Designs by purchasing one for a great cause! From February 1st through April, with every Dream Nursing Tank purchased, Bravado Designs will donate one nursing tank to Baby Buggy to support a new mother in need. Founded in 2001 by Jessica Seinfeld, Baby Buggy is a national non-profit that works to provide critical child and baby essentials to families in need. A donation of 10,000 tanks will be made for this campaign. By purchasing you can help ensure that new mothers have a successful breastfeeding journey!

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank in Platinum.

I received a Bravado! Designs Dream Nursing Tank in Platinum from Bravado for free to keep, try out and review. The Dream Nursing Tank has a molded, full support nursing bra (not just a flimsy shelf "bra"!) that is built in, has a stretchy bottom band, helps support your "girls", and creates a flattering look. It is lined with a double layer of cotton so it won't irritate the skin. It has removable foam inserts for discretion and shape. Unclip the discreet clasps at the shoulder and drop the full bra cups away to give baby full access to your breast and have maximum skin-to-skin contact. The neckline is modest and provides just the right amount of coverage without showing too much cleavage. I love the flirty ruched detail and the under-bust seaming makes it more flattering.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank has a full support nursing bra with removable foam inserts.

Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality cotton/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through (even in white!). Fitted, but doesn't cling to the body. Adjustable straps allow for flexible sizing. Looks great on all body types an beautifully silhouettes the figure.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank is perfect to wear with layers!

Perfect to wear anywhere! This tank is hip length for wardrobe versatility. Great for layering. Elegant with a wrap, kimono top, cardigan, or fancy button down blouse, and sophisticated for wearing under a suit jacket for work or meetings. It is also wonderful for just wearing by itself around the house for sleepwear or at Yoga classes. No one will know it is designed for nursing your little one because of its discreet nursing clips that lie flat under close-fitting clothing and easily open and close with one hand, so you won't be fumbling with them and a hungry, fussy baby.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank has discreet clips that la flat under clothing.

I love this tank! Mine came in Platinum and the Dream Nursing Tank also comes in two other colors: White and Black. I love that it is so comfortable, soft, and looks good with a lot of things I already own. I also love the fact that no one can tell it has a nursing bra inside. It is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe!!

100 Under $100: One Hundred Tools for Empowering Global Women Book Review

100 Under $100: One Hundred Tools for Empowering Global Women Book

As part of the Mom Blogger's for Social Good (a global coalition of over 3,000 mom bloggers), I have received an advance copy of this book for review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

100 Under $100: One Hundred Tools for Empowering Global Women by Betsy Teutsch is a book that offers effective and low cost solutions which will help women and girls in developing countries live better and more enriching lives. This book is very comprehensive and easy to read. It shows you exactly how to go out and execute the solution simply. The humanitarian projects in this book are proven to work, if they are executed properly, to greatly enhance the lives of these women and girls.

This fantastic resource guide is packed with a wide array of solutions for many different topics and the layout is well organized. This book covers eleven different sectors: general health, girls' and women's health, lights - cell phone charging - energy, water and sanitation hygiene, domestic technology, subsistence farming, construction, transportation, information and communication technology, financial inclusion, and legal tools. Within each of these sectors are solutions to these problems. An overview page for each sector describes the problem in more detail, briefly highlighting the solutions that are going to be talked about more on subsequent pages. At the top of each is the solution title, brief synopsis, sidebar icons that help signify different things about the solution, and links to websites that go into more information. The middle goes into more detail about the solution. At the bottom of each is a YOU icon that symbolizes and describes what you can do easily to support each of these solutions. There are also EDU icons which give you ways to educate yourself more through courses, training, tours, volunteering, etc. The pages have beautiful black and white pictures that help give background to the words. These photographs show how the tools and devices suggested within this book have helped change the lives of these strong and resilient women and girls.

There is much to learn within the pages of the 100 Under $100 book. My favorite chapters within are about domestic technology, subsistence farming, and construction. These chapters are hit home with me because of my nutrition, homemaking, farming, agriculture, and permaculture background. This inspiring, eye opening book succeeds in raising the awareness of the general public about these important issues, giving them the tools to be able to accomplish incredible things for women and girls in these impoverished places all across the globe. Not only can we learn about these problems, but we can do something about them! Get this book and start making a world of difference!
