Guess what?! Guest post!! Get excited because today you'll be hearing from my cousin-in-law (Jason's cousin), Audra. Audra and I have only met once in person when we were in California earlier this year, but I feel like we've been friends for years. Her daughter and Brighten are close in age, and it's been so wonderful to have someone with a little girl just a few months ahead of us. Since most of our friendship has developed over email and Facebook Messenger, we laughed a lot at each other's accents when we finally got to meet this year! Audra grew up in New England, and I grew up in Northwest Florida. It was a good time and Jason and I look forward to visiting Audra and her sweet family in Massachusetts sometime soon!

Harry's for Her
One of the podcasts that I listen to every week has been sponsored by Harry's for years and years. I've loved the idea of supporting a business like Harry's that appreciates good quality in life's mundane tasks, like shaving. But Harry's has always been marketed toward men. So, I've gifted their products to my dad, my father-in-law, and of course Jason has a Harry's razor. But for some reason I'd never thought to try Harry's for myself until I realized that I actually shave much more often than Jason does, but my razor was not nearly as nice as his.

I have been waiting to share this Friday Favorite for several months now. I'm almost giddy with excitement about this, you guys! It's a little unconventional, but by now you should know that's how I do things. Let's rewind so I can explain what in the world I'm talking about.
Read moreCheap Float Big Results
To be perfectly honest, I had something else that I was planning to review today, but that'll have to wait for another week. After spending almost a full week in Florida, I just can't help but brag on the little float that could.
Read moreIt’s Never Too Late to Start Over
You guys are in for a HUGE treat. I love having guest authors for mrsblogbacktome and this is no exception. My amazing friend, Melanie Adkison and I have known each other since right after she and her sweet family moved to Birmingham in 2012 to plant a church (which is now the church we're a part of). Melanie is wife to Andy, and mom to Jude (9) and Drew (8). The first time I met her was at her house and she made dinner for a group of people. Melanie has a gift of bringing people into her home and immediately making them feel like family. She is the best listener, but is also incredibly encouraging. I just love hanging out with her, talk to her, and learn from her. Melanie is a fifth grade teacher, and when I asked her to write something about going back to school, I could have never imagined she'd bestow so much wisdom in just a one post. I told you, she's amazing, so without further adieu, here's Melanie...
Read moreTrish McEvoy Mascara: It's Weirdly Awesome
This mascara is weird, so I've actually walked away from it several times over the last year or so, but I always come back. Why is it weird? Well, it forms little tubes around your eye lashes, so when it gets submerged in water, it just peels off. But it doesn't run - like AT ALL!
Read moreMonat: Life Changing Hair Products
I'm all about a gimmick and I'll try just about any product at least once. So when my friend, Melanie, began selling Monat hair products, of course I had to see what all the fuss was about.
Read moreHalo Top: The Sassy Treat
I love any product with a bit of sass, and Halo Top ice cream takes the cake. Packed with lots of protein and not many calories, it beacons you to not stop eating until you hit the bottom and to forgo your bowl.
Read moreQuip: Routine, Technique, Upkeep
A few years ago my dentist informed me that I needed to start taking better care of my teeth. Until that point, I was somebody who never flossed, and pretty much just brushed my teeth in the morning, but I'd only ever had one cavity so I didn't have much motivation to change my habits. I know, that's probably grossing some people out, but I've gotten better, I promise :) Much of my improved dental hygiene is thanks to Quip!
