Fun Friday


Housework was a woman's job, but one evening,

Janice arrived home from work to find the children bathed, one load of laundry in the washer and another in the dryer Dinner was on the stove, and the table set.

She was astonished!

It turns out that Charles had read an article that said, 'Wives who work full-time and had to do their own housework were too tired to have sex'.

The night went very well. The next day, Janice told her Red Hat friends all about it. 'We had a great dinner. Charles even cleaned up the kitchen. He helped the kids do their homework, folded all the laundry and put it away. I really enjoyed the evening.

''But what about afterward?' asked her friends.

'Oh, that......... Charles was too tired.'

Belli has some great products

OK I love skin products for my skin for my kids skin whatever lol . When I got to try out some great stuff from Belli I was so excited. All their stuff looks great and reasonable. Some of it I wish I had it while I was pregnant!

The first thing I tried was the Eye Brightening Cream. Dark circles around the eyes runs in my family so I wasn't sure how good this would work. I was pleased to say I looked so refreshed and less puffy. The dark circles were almost gone. My eyes looked so much brighter! I was in awe so I told my mom about it and of course she took it from me to try and even hers which were 10 times darker then mine lightened up quite a bit. She loves it now too. So my cream has now became her cream go figure how that worked ha ha. Should of kept my mouth shut ha ha! I love that it has vit. k, Ginseng, green tea and soy protein , so it leaves your eyes so soft!
The next thing I tried was the Belli Baby Gift Set. Yep this was great! It comes with Calm Me Hair & Body Wash, Nourish Me Enriched Body Lotion, and Pamper Me Talc-Free Powder. I love the fresh smell of the body and hair wash and it leaves their hair soft. I love that they have chamomile in it to help relax the baby. I love the smell of the lotion and it left my baby smooth. I also loved that the lotion did not break her out or irritate her eczema.
The last thing I tried wash the Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer. I love things that kills germs. I keep this in my purse and take it everywhere. Most Hand Sanitizers dry out your hands and this one left my hand so soft afterwards. Honestly I wasn't fond of the smell but then again i don't like any sanitizers scents. My mom liked the smell though so it was just my opinion. I added a few drops of lavender oil to it and i love the smell now lol. I now use it at least once or twice a day. My kids also love to use it.

Overall I think I'm in love with Belli Skin products. I cant wait to try more and get more stuff when my hubby gets paid ha ha. SHHHH!!!! So head on over and check out these great products and all the other great stuff Belli carries! http://www.belliskincare.com/
They also have a promo going on right now Promo Code: BELLIPICKS & receive 20% off all orders.

Potty Tots review and giveaway ends 6-12


So we are trying to potty train my stuborn 2 year old who will be 3 next month. This has been a long hard task. She is so ready she has used the potty quite a few times on her own plus with me telling her but she would just give up later. When i heard about Potty Tots I was excited to see how it worked. When we got it the first thing we did is me and my 2 yr old sat down and read through everything. I think her favorite part of the whole thing is the sticker reward system and the potty movie as she calls it.
The DVD was cute and right on target for potty training aged kids so that they all would be interested and in to this great movie. I loved the plot of the older sibling sharing her potty secrets and getting her ready for preschool that was great. The music and songs were fun. My daughters all dance and sang to them. My Favorite part of the whole system was the personalized letter to my 2 year old. It made it so special and personal.

I have to say overall I think it works really good. The reward system is a great way to help get the potty training started as long as they understand what the reward system is. I also like the the idea we take away a stick for every accident too . this is great to send the child a message you can lose your reward too if you dont be a big girl and go potty.I recommend this system , Potty Tots to all parents that are thinking of or trying to potty train. You will love it and so will your child ! Check it out at http://www.pottytots.com/





Potty Tots is giving one of these great potty training kits to one of my lucky readers! Yay!

DADDY'S GONNA EAT YOUR FINGERS

I was packing for my business trip and my three year old
daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At
one point she said,'Daddy, look at this' , and stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her tiny fingers
in my mouth and said, 'Daddy's gonna eat your fingers,' pretending to eat them.
I went back to packing, looked up again and my daughter was
standing on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated
look on her face.

I said, 'What's wrong, honey?'

She replied,
'What happened to my booger?'

Bugaloo Kids review and giveaway ends June 5

So my kids all have shoe fetishes except my baby girl she hates shoes lol so far all i could get her to wear was her monkey ones from her birthday which were getting to small . Then I found Bugaloo it was similar style as her monkey shoes and alot cheaper and more selection. I wondered if Des would like them just as much though?When they got here i was in love with the cute design of the purple with the cute white daisies. I loved it! They were very soft and very sturdy made. the elastic around the back stayed on and wasn't to tight that it left marks which was awesome. Now it was time to try them on my desi and she was curious about them at first. They weren't her monkey show but she checked them out . She walked around with them on came back to me and smiled . She likes them!! She didn't want to take them off all day. I was so glad! They fit her well with a little growing room and are great for keeping her little feet covered in these hot summer months. Thanks Bugaloo for having great shoes that my daughter loves and great prices. I suggest all my readers to check out this great store and their great selections. http://www.bugalookids.com/
For the giveaway Bugaloo is giving one of my lucky reader a pair of their shoes of your choice wow awesome!!

Protect a bed review & giveaway ends 6-5


OK so my son suffers from allergies , asthma, and many other problems, so when i got the chance to try this cover out i was excited to see if it really does what it says it does. The very first day i got it I put it on to start seeing if it helps. The mattress we have is pretty old so its nice to have it covered. With it being in the midst of allergy season I wasn't sure how well it would help, but i was surprised. My son now doesn't cough as much at night and breathes alot easier.

I love that it is thinner then the other brands and not plastic. It is very soft! my son loves the feel of it. It fit his mattress nice and snugly and it looked great. It was easy to remove and wash and was still soft after washing! I am now gonna have to get one for my bed! It works wonders. You all should definitely try them you will be pleased that you did!! Check out their whole Protect-A-Bed’s line of allergy relief products .

Company info:

As you know, spring is now in “full bloom” and for allergy sufferers that can mean endless hours of coughing, sniffling and sneezing. Protect-A-Bed’s protectors are fitted-sheet style covers that place an impenetrable barrier between you and allergens, while remaining breathable and comfortable. They are ultra-thin, extra soft, easy-to-use and machine washable – not the crunchy, crinkly product you think of when you think of traditional mattress protectors.

It has been estimated that 35 million Americans suffer from allergies to one or more kinds of pollen and mold. Combine that with other allergy triggers such as dust mites and pet dander, and your mattress can become a haven for allergens. With Protect-A-Bed allergy relief products like their mattress protectors, an individual who suffers from allergies can finally get the healthy, allergy-free sleep they deserve.

So protect a bed is offering one of my lucky readers one of these great covers. Cool!

Fun Stuff 4 Babies is a Tampa, FL based company whose mission is to develop products that encourage and acknowledge Dad’s involvement in raising children. The company was created in 2008 by Chris and Julie Hartsfield, and their debut product is The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox.

The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox arms new Dads with everything they would need for their very first diaper change as well as provides them with a chuckle. The toolbox includes items such as a diaper, wipes, a turkey baster for precision hiney washing, tongs for several inches of steel separation between dad and the stinky diaper, Goggles, and many more practical and funny items.

I laughed so hard while going through mine toolbox. I gave it to my husband and even he thought it was great and laughed. My mom and mother in law got a kick out of it and so did my sister in law. Trust me this is a perfect Fathers day gift for any father or father to be!

We are giving one away in honor of fathers day and it will end and be shipped in time for you to give it to you father or father to be in your life! How great is that!

2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ______
Swallowing Coins (a favorite):

1st child: When first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays
2nd child: When second child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for the coin to pass.
3rd child: When third child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!
____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ______

Pass this on to everyone you know who has children . . . or everyone who KNOWS someone who has had children. . (The older the mother, the funnier this is!)

GRANDCHILDREN:
God's reward for allowing your children-
to live

Hotel for dogs review and giveaway ends may 21

So we had the chance to watch Hotel for Dogs this Sunday. We BBQ steaks and sat as a family and watched this awesome movie! I loved that not only is it great for the kids it was a great adult film too. We all enjoyed it! We laughed, smiled, awed, and felt bad with all the cute characters. This is definitely a hit in our house and it will be watched time and time again! The dogs are adorable and the the kids are so sweet! You definitely need to get this movie!

OK so for a little about the movie from the press release.

The hilarious family comedy HOTEL FOR DOGS finds a new home on April 28, 2009 when it arrives on DVD and Blu-ray from Paramount Home Entertainment. Starring Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew), Jake T. Austin (“Wizards of Waverly Place”), Don Cheadle (Ocean’s 11), Lisa Kudrow (“Friends”) and Kevin Dillon (“Entourage”), the exciting and inspiring animal adventure shows just how far friendship and imagination can take you. When two orphans find themselves in a foster home with a strict “no pets” policy, they set out to find a home for their canine companion and end up creating a haven for all the strays in the city. Filled with loveable dogs and ingenious kids, HOTEL FOR DOGS has the kind of pedigree that the whole family can enjoy.
Loaded with over 45 minutes of special features, the HOTEL FOR DOGS DVD and Blu-ray presentations include the making of Hotel For Dogs, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, photo galleries and more, as well as commentary from director Thor Freudenthal, producer Ewan “Jack” Leslie and cast members Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin.

OK for the giveaway one of my lucky readers will receive this great DVD! So awesome!

Cheesy Pork Chops with Spicy Apples

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, sliced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 apple, cored and sliced
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices extra sharp Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS
Prepare a grill for high heat.
While the grill heats, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft. Season with red pepper flakes then add the sliced apple. Stir in the sugar and balsamic vinegar, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until apples are soft and golden.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Spoon the onions and apples on top of the chops, and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Cover the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Ok I got the chance to check out Mia Carina's stuff 1st hand and I must say im in love!! I am a sucker for cute outfits for my girls! Mia Carina has it all in every style and color> I love their choices!



The first out fit I got is this cute Dr. Seuss tutu set and in this house we all love the tuts. Both the shirt and tutu was greatly made. I love the length of the tutu. It fit my 1 year old perfectly. The cute Thing shirt that says Cutie Pie is absolutely adorable!!



The second outfit I got is this cute little tank dress! I love how well it is made and the cute pattern. It is nice for summer and spring and with a long sleeve onsie and some leggings it even is great for winter. It is great!



The last outfit I got has to be my all time favorite! It was a Carina set! It came with pants, dress shirt, and the most adorable hat ever!. I love the peach coloring and the cute ruffles. I like that I can use it as a dress without the pants or with the pants as a shirt. It was wonderfully made. I cant wait to use this in some of the baby contests this summer!
