A few years ago, I was introduced to Pact, a brand of organic clothing. I received a set of apparel and underwear from Moms Meet to review and the company quickly became a new favorite. So, I was excited to learn they also have a line of kids clothes!

It has been unseasonably warm the past month or so, but it's now finally starting to cool down. It actually feels like Fall now. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. It's boots and sweater weather!

This month, I had the opportunity to style some pieces from prAna, thanks to Moms Meet. I've never worn anything by prAna before, but had always been curious about their clothing. I had seen prAna clothing while shopping at our local REI and had equated the brand with active wear and yoga clothing. It wasn't until last year, when attending the Moms Meet WOW Summit, that I saw that prAna carries much more than just active wear.

I've been trying my best to make sure we eat healthier this year. I've been buying more natural and organic foods and steering away from foods that contain any artificial ingredients, colors, flavors or preservatives. I've also started trying to use more natural hair care and skincare products, as well as natural household cleaning products.

But, one area I haven't really delved into is organic clothing. I've taken a look at some brands, but haven't had the chance to try any of them. A lot of the brands seemed to be more expensive than I was willing to pay. Thanks to Moms Meet, I was introduced to PACT Organic.

Summer's just around the corner!  Our local pool just opened for the season this past weekend and right now we're away on vacation in the Outer Banks, NC.  This is the baby's first trip to the beach and we needed to get her some swimwear.  The house that we're staying at is within walking distance to the beach and has its own pool.  So, I wanted to get her several suits.  In addition to some swimsuits that we inherited from her older cousin, I had the chance to work with a great company called SwimZip.

SwimZip was born after its founder, Betsy Johnson, was diagnosed with skin cancer at age 26.  After recovering, she set out to create something that could help protect others from the harmful effects from the sun.  SwimZip offers UPF 50+ swimwear for babies, toddlers and children.  They feature:

• Full length zipper - allows for easy-on and easy-off UV protection
• Protective zipper flap - keeps your child's tummy safe when zipping on their SwimZip
• Zipper garage - protects your child's chin from getting scratched or irritated by the zipper
• Quality fabric - Lycra/Nylon blend allows for quick drying and is chlorine resistant
• Flatlock stitching - leaves no chafing or irritating seams
• Working drawstrings/elastic waistbands - important for skinny kids like mine!

DISCLOSURE:  I was given a coupon for me and a friend to receive a free Old Navy Active top and bottom, as a member of the Old Navy Style Council on Crowdtap.  All opinions are my own.

I just delivered my fourth child about a week ago.  I gained about 45 pounds with this pregnancy!  What would be a better motivator to get rid of the baby weight than some cute new activewear?  Luckily, I was selected to receive a free top and bottom from Old Navy's latest Active line and I got to share this opportunity with a friend!

I chose to go with one of my sisters.  After successfully finding a podiatrist and physical therapist who were finally able to help her with the foot problems that had been plaguing her for years, she's finally been able to start running again.  She desperately needed some new active wear and was so happy when I let her know we were going to get a complete set for free from Old Navy!  She had actually participated in one of these activewear sample shares with me before, but it was in the fall.  This time, we got to choose from Old Navy's activewear line for Spring!  Here we are with our coupons before we left to go shopping:

Old Navy's line of Activewear include pieces for running, yoga as well as general workout wear.  Some items feature Old Navy's GoDRY moisture-wicking fabric.  They also have a line of compression tanks, jackets, sport bras, capris, shorts and pants.

DISCLOSURE:  I was given coupons for me and three friends to receive one free swimsuit, one pair of flip flops, a bag and a beach towel from Old Navy and Crowdtap.  All opinions are my own.

The summer season is quickly approaching!  It's time to start thinking about what swimwear you're going to be rocking at the pool and the beach this summer.  Old Navy's here to help you look your best and upgrade your style!

I was recently given the opportunity to check out Old Navy's latest beachwear offerings and got the chance to bring along three friends.  Sadly, the timing was a little off.  I'm scheduled to have my fourth child on May 23rd, but the coupons we were given to redeem expire May 21st.  I didn't want to get a maternity swimsuit, since I wasn't going to be pregnant for much longer.  But, I couldn't really try on a regular suit either since my belly is so big!  I planned on trying on maternity suits for pictures, but using my coupon on a regular suit to use after baby came.  One of my sisters is also pregnant, but she isn't due until August.  With the fact that not all Old Navy locations carry maternity clothes, that limited the locations that we could go to.

Initially, I invited my two sisters and my Mom to come along shopping with me at the location nearest to where I live.  It was close to my Mom and my sisters were all familiar with it, since we grew up around here.  Plus, the location (Store 06035) carried maternity.  They were all super excited to be getting some new things from Old Navy!

DISCLOSURE:  As a member of Crowdtap, I was chosen to host a Woolite Washed In-Home Boutique party and given free samples of Woolite Everyday detergent to hand out.  All opinions are my own.

Admit it.  It happens all the time to a lot of us.  You go into your closet and there's absolutely nothing you want to wear!  But, you don't always want to go out and spend the money to buy something new to wear.  A great way to purge your closet of things you don't wear and at the same time get some new clothes would be to hold a clothing swap!  It gives you the opportunity to connect with friends and update your wardrobe for less!

I recently had the opportunity to host a clothing swap in my home thanks to Woolite and Crowdtap.com.  I was sent a party kit that included a clothing swap party guide with ideas on how to hold a successful clothing swap, a $10 VISA gift card to use towards party supplies and 10 samples of Woolite Everyday detergent to hand out to my guests.

DISCLOSURE:  As a member of Crowdtap and the Old Navy Style Council, I received a coupon for me and a friend to get two free tee shirts at Old Navy.  All opinions are my own.

Spring is here!  Time to break out the warmer weather clothes!  Looking for something new to add to your Spring wardrobe?  Check out Old Navy's collection of Basic Layering Tops!  They're a great staple to have in your closet.

Old Navy's tees have been improved and are now available in two great fits:  The Perfect and the Vintage.  The Perfect Tees feature:

• A universally flattering fit
• Classic ribbed knit
• Now come with added stretch

The Vintage Tees feature:

• Old Navy's most relaxed fit
• Are heathered for a worn-in look
• A super-soft feel

DISCLOSURE:  As a member of the Old Navy Style Council on Crowdtap.com, I received a coupon for a free Old Navy Active top and bottom.  All opinions are my own.

I recently had an opportunity to try out Old Navy's latest line of activewear through Crowdtap.com's Old Navy Style Council.  I received a coupon for myself and one for a friend to receive a free Old Navy Active top and bottom. 

I decided to bring along my Mom.  She's always asking me when the next sample share for Old Navy would be and she hadn't had a chance to participate in one with me since early this past summer.  Plus, I thought maybe getting a new set of workout clothes would motivate her to start exercising more!

Old Navy currently offers tanks, tees, running tops, sport bras, jackets and bottoms in their Active line.  Some feature their GoDry material that helps to wick away moisture.  Others feature their compression fabric, which helps to smooth and dries quickly.

I met my Mom at the mall, since she was already there doing Christmas shopping.  Our local Old Navy has a pretty big portion of the store dedicated to their Active line of clothes.

DISCLOSURE:  I was chosen as a member of Crowdtap to try and review a free dress from Old Navy for myself and a friend.  All opinions are my own.

It's been awhile since I last participated in an Old Navy sample share through Crowdtap.  I haven't had the time to be as active on the Crowdtap site as I once was, so it was pretty exciting to get the invite to try out an Old Navy dress for free!

Old Navy usually has pretty nice dresses.  This past Spring, I bought a ton of dresses from Old Navy that I wore a lot during the summer.  This season, Old Navy's dresses come in a lot of fun colors, patterns and styles.

But, this Old Navy sampling's timing was a little off for me.  I'm 13 weeks pregnant and so that severely limited the dresses I could choose from.  Old Navy tends to have a very small maternity section and it's not available in all store locations.

DISCLOSURE:  I was selected by Crowdtap, as a member of the Old Navy Style Council, to host an in-store party to promote Old Navy's beach accessories.  Three friends and I were given a coupon for a free pair of flip flops, sunglasses, beach bag and beach towel.  All opinions are my own.

Summer's here and it's time to hit the beach and the pool!  Old Navy's Swim Central has everything you need to make a stylish splash!  They have a large selection of flip flops, from your basic solid colors to more fashionable ones with prints and embellishments.  They also have a line of beach towels, beach totes and sunglasses.

Thanks to Crowdtap, I was given coupons for myself and three other people to receive a free pair of flip flops, sunglasses, a beach bag and a beach towel.  I had originally planned on bringing my two sisters and my best friend, but because of scheduling issues and a delay in getting the coupons, I had to switch who I was bringing last minute.  I ended up going with my Mom, one of my sisters and my sister-in-law.  She had just had a baby less than a month ago and so I'm sure she was glad to get out of the house and have a break from the baby!

DISCLOSURE: I was selected to host a party to promote Woolite Extra Dark Care laundry detergent by Crowdtap.com and Woolite.  All opinions are my own.

Do you have a problem with your dark jeans losing their color?  Do your dark clothes start to fade and lose their color intensity over time?  Then you need to start washing with Woolite Extra Dark Care!  Woolite Extra Dark Care has a special formula that cleans and helps maintain the original color and intensity of your dark clothes.  It won't cause fading, shrinking or stretching and your dark clothes look like new for longer.

I have to admit, I've never used Woolite Extra Dark Care before I was selected to host this party.  But I have had the issue with my dark clothes fading and losing their color.  So I was pretty excited to give it a try and to help promote the brand among my friends and family.  None of them really used Woolite at all before the party.

DISCLOSURE:  I recently had another sampling opportunity provided by Crowdtap.com and Old Navy.  This was an in-store opportunity to try on items from Old Navy's summer shorts collection.  A friend and I were given a coupon for a free pair of shorts.  All opinions are my own.

I was so excited to be picked again for another sample and share opportunity from Crowdtap and Old Navy!  This time it was for a pair of shorts for myself and a friend.  I chose one of my sisters to come with me since she missed out on the last two sample and shares that I had.  This couldn't have come at a better time.  The family and I are supposed to be going with my in-laws to the Outer Banks at the end of the month.  We usually rent a house near the beach for a week.  I needed some new clothes so this was a perfect chance to go clothes shopping!

DISCLOSURE:  I recently had another sampling opportunity provided by Crowdtap.com and Old Navy.  This was an in-store opportunity to try on items from Old Navy's winter collection.  Three of my friends and I were given a coupon for a free women's sweater, free women's pants and a free winter accessory -- a hat, scarf or gloves.  All opinions are my own.

Since it's close to Christmas time, we had a hard time coordinating our schedules to come up with a time to meet up at Old Navy.   Once we did come up with a time and date, it turned out the coupons didn't arrive on time!  So we had to cancel and reschedule.  I ended up going with a completely different group than I had originally planned, but we still had a great time.

I ended up taking one of my sisters, my Mom and a friend from work.  We met up on a Monday morning, about an hour after the mall opened.  It wasn't too crowded yet, but there already was a huge line outside the store for pictures with Santa.  Once we got inside, we were greeted by one of the managers.  I showed her the letter from Crowdtap, informing them of what we were doing and asking them to allow us to take pictures and video.  She looked confused as she read the letter, but said okay and to ask her if we needed help with anything.

DISCLOSURE:  I was given a coupon by Old Navy and Crowdtap to try out a top and compression pants from Old Navy's new Activewear line.  All opinions are my own,

Old Navy has come out with a new line of compression activewear.  They feature fabrics that wick moisture and provide support.  Other features include thumb loops in the cuffs to keep your hands warm and zippered pockets.

I went to our local Old Navy with my sister and my 4 year old and 1 year old.  My sister also had a coupon for a free top and compression pants.  They had a large selection of items to choose from.  We probably spent a good 20 minutes just browsing around looking for things to try on.

DISCLOSURE:  I was given a coupon from Crowdtap.com and Old Navy for a free Women's Embellished Jersey Tank Top.  All opinions are my own.

The Embellished Jersey Tank Tops are from the Summer 2011 line.  There are six different styles available and a number of different colors with fun names like "Plummy Mummy" and "Hint of Lemon."  They are all made of 100% Jersey Cotton and feature a polyester chiffon embellishment.

I was given the opportunity to go to Old Navy with three friends to try on the tank tops and receive one tank top for free.  They were all very soft and comfortable to wear.  We all found though the shoulder straps on the tank tops to be very long and thus making the scoop neck very low cut.  One of my sisters is planning on altering the straps so that they're a little shorter.  I'm planning on layering mine on top of another tank top.


Overall, the tank tops did look better on the website than they did in person.  I probably would not have paid the full retail price for one of the tanks.  But I would buy one on sale!


Would you recommend it?
They're okay... They all seemed to run big and were very low cut.  I've worn my tank only a couple of times.  I did end up going back later when they went on clearance to pick up some of the other styles that I would have liked better.

How much does it cost?   They currently sell for $19.94 on Old Navy's website.  Prices in store may vary.


Where can I buy it?  In Old Navy stores and oldnavy.com.
