Earth Lust bottles are great!!


I received some of the cutest and most handy water bottles the other day from Earth lust! They couldn't of came at a better time with soccer starting and dance competitions. My daughters used them for Saturdays competition and loved the ease of them and I had so many people ask where I got them and they wished they had those. I told them where get them and they said they are gonna check it out and get some for their dancers too!


I love the metal because it is so much cleaner and easier to get clean. I love also they are great for our environment. I loved the canteen for my coffee. Getting up early to do makeup and hair for my girls dance and then out the door to drive 40 minutes to the competition and my canteen was with me and I had my coffee and it was great. They are all 100% stainless steel and are BPA Free. They all keep your drink cold or hot for a very long time which is also great for me because I am a very slow drinker ha ha.The great Key chain holder on the top to hook it to you belt loop is the greatest feature of all so your bottle is always with you!


I recommend these great bottles for all! Adults, Kids, grandparents, athletes, anyone at all will love these and will use them! Check out Earth Lust at http://earthlust.com/index.html

Complain complain!!

Ok so I needed to vent my son loves soccer. This will be his second season playing for the city rec here. I have to complain though!! The city needs to wise up and get some dang organization around here. Second time in a row we had no coach luckily last season a father stepped up and did the job awesomely!!! This season though they contacted me today telling their first game is Thursday and me and another mom are stuck coaching since no one will!! Both of us know nothing about soccer other than both of our sons play once before. Plus the lady I am assisting doesn't want to do practices because she thinks 2 days of soccer a week is too much. So we have one game a week til May 16th which is the last game plus one week we have two games in one week. No practices and no real coaches, just 2 moms trying to help these boys out!

I think the city need to find coaches before opening the sign ups so if they only have 10 coaches they only accept the kids that will have coaches. Also do coaches get paid or money off their kids tuition nope nothing. We are suppose to call all the kids and coach this kids with no experience and no anything. I am very disappointed and if it is the same next season then they just lost a customer I will not be doing this every season these kids deserve to taught the rules and regulations and the right way to play especially since we are paying for the class!!! EEEEEWWWWWWWW it just makes me mad and sad at the same time! I would drop out this season but my son is soo looking forward to it! I don't want to let him down! He can only play soccer and baseball sports wise with his health conditions and he isn't into gymnastic, or music or golf etc. Just wish the city would wise up!!!

Fresh Pair Review and Giveaway!

I got some awesome things from freshpair.com and all I have to say is WOW!! First off I'll tell you what I got he he. the first thing I got was a bra. It is a Le Mystere Essential Collection Gigi Bra. I have to say it is a really cute bra. I love the cute split straps and the criss cross front. I also loved the slight push up that it did. It was comfortable and fit well! I always have had cheap bras and it is nice to have a decent bra that fits. http://www.freshpair.com/

The second thing I got was some cute black and pink underwear. I felt sexy in the the nice lacy underwear with the little ruffle. It was sexy and comfortable and that's everything I love in undies! I really love the style and the fabric. They are awesome undies! http://www.freshpair.com/

The third thing I got was some Soak. This is a great soap to wash your lingerie, your sweaters, your delicates, even baby clothes. It is a very gentle soap that makes your delicate fabric last longer and look great. It is also Biodegradable and phosphate free. You can use it to hand wash your machine wash. It is great!! http://www.freshpair.com/
The last things I got was some body wraps.I got this one above and the boy shorts below and I love them both. I love this since with kids I have that stomach pooch and these are great for that. They are seamless and help smooth and flatten the tummy, slenderize the waist and provide lower back support which is great for my scoliosis.

Energizer Lithium Is the way to go!

I got the opportunity to try the new Energizer Ultimate Lithium and the Advance Lithium batteries and I was shock at the difference! I have two digital cameras, many battery operated toys and cars, Wii remotes, gameboys, DS, MP3 Players and so on so we go through a lot of batteries here! I spend a lot on batteries especially for my digital stuff and gaming because the cheap ones don't work on them. I have try the regular plain energizer batteries and typical that's what I use in most things except my camera since it is picky and has to have the digital ones or it wont turn on. Well I opened these and first thing I tried was my camera since it says for digital cameras. I wasn't expecting them to work but they did wow! I was shocked and they lasted through a birthday party and some reviews and they still are not dead yet. That is great! We also put them in the new Ride makers cars since the batteries in them died the first day well it has been a week and the cars are still going and so are the remotes! I am very impressed! I would of had to buy 6 packs of the regular batteries to fill the cars and remotes for that amount of time!
Energizer has definitely impressed me! I definitely recommend these to everyone. They definitely are worth their money and will save you some too! Here is some of the company info.

Last up to 4x longer in digital cameras (versus Energizer® MAX®. results vary by camera)

Lasts 20 hours longer* in wireless gaming accessories. Results vary by play and/ or usage patterns.

Last up to 30% longer in personal audio devices (versus Energizer® MAX®. results vary by device)

Weigh 1/3 less than standard alkaline

10 year storage life

Leak resistant construction

Ride Makers are the coolest!!



We receive two of the coolest cars from Ride Makers. One was a red mustang with flames and the other was a pink race car ha ha sorry not sure what it is called if you ask the boys they know ha ha! Both were cool though and very fun! It is Build- a-car instead of build a bear!


When we got them they were in pieces which made them funner! The boys sat down and start putting together their cars. I think it made the cars soo much more worth it to them. They knew they built it and made it and get to race it! It was pretty easy my 8 year old need no help he did it on his own!

When they got done building their cars they were ready to race! I swear they went outside and raced until it got dark and I called them in for dinner and bath. The next day as soon as homework was done he was back outside racing again. I couldn't of guess how much the boys would love these.

We are definitely gonna buy more from Ride Makers we already been back to check out more cars and accessories. I recommend this to all my readers with kids and big kids lol ! this will bring you family hours and hours of fun! It has been almost a week and the fun hasn't wore off here! So go check them out at http://www.ridemakerz.com/

Birth Story in Honor of the JVC HD Camcoder Giveaway

OK I am trying to win the JVC HD Camcorder at An Ordinary Life http://www.aordinarylife.com/2009/03/jvc-hd-camcorder-review-and-giveaway.html
To be enter I get to share the amazing birth story of one of my kids so here goes!

Well all my pregnancies were hard ones. I always had preterm labors and complications! With Brealyne I was in the hospital daily with contractions and bleeding. I gain 18lbs total so the doctor was upset about that 2 months before my due date i was a 1 to 2 centimeters dilated. I spent alot of time at the pernatologist because they thought she had water on the brain and her heart wasn't sealed right or whatever. We did amniocentesis and she was perfectly fine just had us worried for 3 weeks til the results were back. We were so exhausted from all the stress and worries of this pregnancy. Then my doctor went out of town with four weeks to my due date for the weekend and don't you know that's when I went into full blown labor that couldn't be stopped. It was a Saturday and my doctor was scheduled to return Sunday. Thanks Doc!!! I didn't feel any contractions just heavy bleeding so I drove myself to the hospital while my Husband stayed with the other 3 kids. It was like 7ish at night. After being at the hospital a lot I didn't think it was anything.

I got there they hooked me up and behold I was having contraction 5 minutes apart. Oh Crap!! I called my husband told him to get there now! Then I called my mother to also come. They all got there and then since I haven't had the Strep B test done they gave me Ampicillin just in case. Well I was allergic to it and couldn't breath. So they had to give me oxygen and Benadryll to stop the reaction. That was fun!!!

Next the contraction were getting about 3 minutes apart and pain was kicking in. So epidural part! In comes a guy with jeans on a jersey and a baseball hat and we are thinking ummm dude your in the wrong room, nope he was the anaesthesiologist. Crap just my luck! HE yelled at me and was very not sanitary and had no bed side manners. Just Plain Rude!!!! To top it off the stupid epidural wasn't placed right and didn't work at all. Just plain useless!!

OK well It was about 9ish now and I was 5 centimeters dilated. They tell me it will be a couple more hours. Well the contractions were more intense and the baby heart rate was dropping so back on the oxygen. Well then my bed was wet so I called the nurses and my water had broke. then changed my bed but fluid just kept coming so they said ill have to deal with it til delivery was over and checked me just in case still at 5 centimeters and they left. now all that happened with in 5 minutes. well % more minutes I called the nurse and told them I needed to push they came in and said well you have a while but they would check again even though 5 minutes ago I was still 5. well they checked and I was 10 and crowning. They told me don't push whatever you do don't push. Well great advice!! I crossed my legs and tried to hold her in while they called the doctor to come ASAP! OK No doctor just a nurse suiting up still and there is no more holding her back she just comes flying out and luckily the nurse was there to catch her with one glove on.

She then precedes to clean Brea and get all her vitals and in casual walks the on call doctor and laughs and says I guess you don't need me ! Ha ha funny! he delivers the placenta sews me up after giving me shots of Novocaine to numb it a little to sew me up. yep remember no epidural. Finally they bring me my baby and say she is 5lbs 2 ozs and 17 inches long small but cute. She couldn't open her eyes she was bloated with water weight gain but she was still beautiful. Then all of a sudden she turn blue. The nurses grabbed her and started beating on her back with some plastic hammer like thing and got her breathing again kind of. They then rushed her to NICU.
A couple hours go by and the nurses not telling me anything. I was freaking out but I couldn't walk my legs were swollen up and in mobile . My whole body swelled up with water retention for the first time ever. Another hour goes by they come in and says her lungs are developed enough to stay open and they are putting a CPAP in and most likely gonna send her to Children's Primary Hospital in SLC. Well that made me more upset and crazy. I couldn't sleep and they made my husband go home since visiting hours were over and the moved me to a shared room with 3 other moms. They gave me sleeping medicine and told me not to worry. Ya right!
The next morning my husband comes and asks how she is doing I told him I don't know. So he went to find out. Here when they put the CPAP in she was doing a lot better so they kept her at NICU with us. They finally let us come she her. She was so tiny smaller then a football. with tubes and wires everywhere. We could only touch her little legs but not much because the touching caused her breathing and heart rate to change. She still couldn't open her eyes or really even move. She was so helpless. She went down to 4lbs 8ozs. She couldn't eat so they had feeding tubes in and had her on light for her extreme Jaundice.

We had to go home with out her. She remained in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. To top off all the stress there my Nephew at 21 years old passed away 3 days after she was born and I couldn't leave to go to his funeral. Me and him were extremely close! But on the 4th days she was doing sooo much better. I knew my nephew was with her in spirit giving her the energy to fight. she was tooken off the CPAP and just was in the hooded air incubator. A few days later she just had the nasal tubes for air and was drinking from a bottle not much but around 1/4 of a once which was great for her size. A few days later she was off everything but the lights for the jaundice and was now drinking 1/2 once. Now we were just waiting for her to gain weight. They wanted her to be 5lbs.

Well finally the doctors release her at 4 lbs 14 ozs. She was the tiniest thing I have ever seen. I had to wake her every 2 hours to feed her for her small size and for the jaundice. She was in premie clothes for like 6 months. Now four years later she is a healthy 4year old. She is still small only 30 lbs. Her 2 year old sister is the same size as her.

So that is the Miraculous birth story of my little angel baby Brealyne Kendra Dee. Now here are some pictures!

The birth Of Cornelius review


Do you Like John Legend, Tracy Chapman, and Mavin Gaye??? If you do then Corneille is for you! The Birth of Corneluis is a new CD out and it is wonderful! It is so slow and relaxing! He has a wonderful voice that just really touches your soul. Whenever I need to wind down I like to take a hot bubble bath with candles and put Cornelius CD in my radio and relax. He songs are about love, the heart and his own life experiences! I tell you he has been through alot and I am so proud of him to make it this far! I think if you what a wonderful CD for relaxing or for a romantic night in definitely go and buy The Birth of Cornelius. It Hits stores March 10th.
Now a little about his life which is so interesting I had to share his Biography! Corneille was born in Germany, but later moved to Rwanda with his family. Corneille's parents and other family members were tragically killed in the 1994 genocide that claimed over 800,000 victims. Corneille managed to escape and headed back to Germany where he was taken in by some family friends where he used music as a way to shield hurt and forget about the world.
Corneille later moved to Montreal, and attended Concordia College. He then formed a band called O.N.E (Original New Element), and in 2002 , released his first album Parce Qu'on Vient de Lion, where he managed to carve out his niche of French soul and R&B. In 2005, Corneille released his second studio album, Les Marchands de Reves, and toured France on a sixty-date tour.

After the success of his first two albums, Corneille began to feel lost and was searching for a way to reinvent himself musically, which brought him to America, where he says he "humbled" from "having to start from scratch." Corneille then began working on songs that would later be introduced in his first English-language album The Birth of Cornelius.

please if you want to know more about this courageous man and his wonderful Music check out http://www.corneillemusic.com

I don't have a travel kit but what I do when we go to busy places, ie disneyland is take a pic of them that morning so if they go missing we have a current pic of them and what they are wearing.

problem with Blog Comments and entries

OK when i was going through and authorizing the contest comments and blog comments about 40 comments got erased for some weird reason I was reading through and making sure everyone did what they said they did and making sure their emails were there and my computer shut off and when i got back on the comments were gone So I know it is a pain but if you entered contests last night and this morning before 10 am MT you might want to check and make sure your entries were Added and if not re do them sorry for the inconvenience but I don't know what happened Because of this I will not close contests at 10 MT like usual I will close at 8 AM tomorrow morning MT and then announce winner by 10 am mt tomorrow thanks and I am so sorry. Plus if you did not leave a email to be contacted or if you have a blog and your email is not visible your entries were erased you must have a visible email better yet just post it thanks!!!

Tropical Traditions review!


OK as some of you know I am very into anything healthy! I love healthy foods, and recipes! I received the Virgin Coconut Oil book and a jar of the Virgin Coconut oil and I have to say it was a fun review. I love reading stuff about health also. the book had info on weight loss, thyroid, recipes and more. It took me less then a day to read this great book because I just got so into it and wanted to know more! It has some great recipes like horseradish crusted salmon, coconut fish fingers, beef stroganoff, chocolate fudge brownies, coconut smoothies and many more. there is chapters on coconut in pets diets and coconut oil for skin health and overall health benefits. It has a lot to offer anyone that reads this great book!

The virgin coconut oil to me since it is cold here looked alot like lard ha ha just smelled better. I made a Alfredo seafood stir fry and instead of using olive oil to fry it up I use the coconut oil. It had a slight hint of coconut but very slight and it worked awesome. my food didn't taste greasy or like coconut. It was wonderful! After reading the book about all the benefits of using coconut oil instead of vegetable oils to be healthier I felt so much better after cooking with it and using it. I knew that it was better for my family. The best part is even my family couldn't tell i didn't use the normal oil i usually use. I am definitely glad I had this great opportunity to read about and try out Virgin Coconut oil. After everything i read and tasted I will definitely be switching to Coconut oils.

I definitely recommend you try it or at least get the book and read about the great stuff it can do! check out it and many other Organic products at Tropical Tradition here http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/
