Hi, I'm Sommer
I'm a blogger, children's book author, speaker and consultant.
I have a Master’s
Degree in early childhood because children make me smile but I found blogging
and a new profession 6 years ago and the rest is history.
I founded SLP Connections to connect brands and bloggers and Mitten Moms to support bloggers in my backyard. I believe in karma and helping others.

I have age spots. It’s true and unless I’m using foundation or editing my photos you can see them. I am not getting younger and most over the counter products are costly or full of nasty ingredients I don’t trust. Fortunately there’s good old fashion lemon juice. Yes, lemon juice. My grandmother used to use [...]

Rubber tires are the most difficult items to recycle and often end up in creeks, ditches or forest landfills across the country. Yes they can be recycled but sometimes there is a fee and if someone has several tires they might not want to pay this fee. Each state is different so be sure to [...]

My kids love Duck Dynasty. I blame my husband for this really. It’s now a regular family show in our home but I do wish A&E would choose more friendly commercials, they’re really not appropriate for children. Now this really isn’t my daughter and Willie (@williebosshog) from Duck Dynasty but she wishes it was. In [...]

Years ago I remember watching a movie called Fern Gully. An animated film that has stuck with me for years because I remember learning about pollution and deforestation and how devastating this was to the animals in the forest and the fairies breathing the air. My daughter today loves this movie and I don’t mind [...]

Fairies, they’re magical. My daughter loves them and I wonder if I believe in them too. I mean who doesn’t want to sprinkle fairy dust all over the world and make it better? She plays in her fairy garden and the magic does seem to ooze from the area. I wonder sometimes if it is [...]
