Affiliate links
We’ve decided to move our affiliate links away from the main page for 2 reasons: first, to clean up the front page. We really need to declutter the house, so I decided to start with the blog. What did you say? I should have started with the living room? But I spend more time in the blog. Anyway, I’m not listening…
The other reason was so that we could say a bit about each affiliate link. Rather than just hoping you’ll click, we want to explain why we think you should click.
So here we go:
This one is near and dear to my heart. Surely you knew that my Honey works in the Vision Forum warehouse? We love this company and everything that it stands for. We don’t see eye to eye on every doctrinal issue and we don’t attend the same church as Doug Phillips, but we dearly love his family and all of the Vision Forum group. These are real people with genuine hearts for God, and we feel blessed to be among them.
I took a high quality prenatal vitamin for for almost 15 years, but over the last several years I have become more and more convinced that I just wasn’t absorbing them properly. I had a hard time remembering to take vitamins at all because I simply didn’t feel any difference whether or not I took them. While I used to feel a significant boost when I took my vitamins, it just wasn’t happening anymore.
SuperMom Vitamins give me that feeling again. Without sharing too much, let me just say that I have undeniable evidence that my body absorbs these vitamins readily. My energy levels are consistently higher than they have been in many years, and I find myself far more motivated to remember to take my vitamins because they just make me feel so good!
During my last pregnancy I began taking SuperMom Vitamins in my third trimester. In spite of a lot of hip, back and pelvis pain during my first 2 trimesters, I had my best third trimester ever! My usual aches and pains were greatly diminished or even absent, and our unusually busy family schedule didn’t faze me a bit. I can only attribute the difference to my new vitamins.
1&1 also provides hefty hosting packages at prices that come close to the supercheap host we had before. We pay just a bit more but we get far more for our money!

We love Paperback Swap! We have found many great new books and replaced many old favorites for free this way! Members list books that need a new home and request books from other members. No money changes hands, and you only pay shipping for the books that others request of you. For each book you ship, you are able to request and receive a new book from any member.
Paperback Swap is not limited to paperbacks. There are also many audio books and hardbacks available. When you join and list your first 10 books, you immediately receive 2 credits which allows you choose and request 2 free books right away!
This one is just too cute to skip. Times Tales is fun little system helps children associate a simple story with each of the upper multiplication facts. Covering from 6×6 to 9×9, it uses uncluttered illustrations and just a few lines of text to link the factors to the product. Read my complete review here. Be sure to check out the other products available from Trigger Memory Systems too!
Charlie’s Soap is truly good stuff. And really, you have to love anyone who uses the word poop on their homepage. As in, Works Great On: Grease, Grass, Blood, Red Clay, Mildew Stains, Mustard, Pine Sap, Poop.
We have very hard water, and saw 3 differences right away:
- The detergent dispenser is shiny clean - all the built-up goop disappeared with the very first use of Charlie’s soap.
- Our dingy old whites (which get dingier every time we wash in our very hard water) are visibly whiter after just one wash.
- This excited me the most: the persistent sour smell in my dishcloths and heavily used bath towels is gone. Even bleach wasn’t making them smell truly fresh; it just covered the odor until they got wet, then they smelled ready-for-a-wash again. Does anyone else have this problem? For the first time since they were nearly new, they smell truly clean.
It’s everything they say it is, and it really only takes 1 Tbs. per load - we even skimped a bit back when we had a high-efficiency front-loader. It’s highly concentrated so one bag will last quite a while - our 2 samples lasted the 10 of us almost 3 months. It’s quite economical and does a fantabulous job, especially in hard water like ours.
They even conveniently include shipping in the posted price, so you know exactly what you’ll be paying. That’ feels like free shipping, doesn’t it? We love Charlie’s Soap. I also love free stuff, so needless to say I would love to score another free box if somebody were to take my suggestion and shell out the money to try it themselves - just tell them KimC at Life in a Shoe sent you.

Did I already tell you that your Charlie’s Soap links aren’t working? I can’t remember, but they still don’t work. I am about to order some soap and noticed again.
Thank you for telling me. I’ve fixed the broken link now.
