I hate the cold and i definitely hate sick kids


Ok so last week we were in the 80s and today lucky to be in the 50's WTH! Tons of rain and wind to top it all off. Yuck! I mean I am glad its not snow but this is telling the snow is coming sooner then I want! I want sunshine and 80 & 90 degree weather all year round. I am sure living in the wrong state for that.


Next My 3 year old had the 24 hour stomach bug monday into tuesday so I was cleaniong up throw up for those two day and I hate throw up. I can deal with poop, blood, what ever just not throw up. Ewww and it is so hard to get the smell out of the house. Now this morning at 2 am my 1 year old woke up puking every where and has now puked 4 to 5 times since then . So more cleaning and laundry. So you figure the two youngest got it just wait and the other 4 will get it a few days apart so it will never end. Why cant they all get sick at once get it over with and be done. I am gonna pump up on my vitamins because my luck Ill get it and Ill have to take care of the kids on top of it plus soccer on sat and a car show and photo shoot. No time for being sick!


I swear a moms job is never done! I spent 2 days cleaning the whole house on thursday and friday now after i wait for the sickness to be gone out of the house Ill have to clean again.


When was Moms Night out again???????

Wordless Wednesday


Who Says Brothers Remote control chopper cant double as a push bike for baby sister??? I think we all know what she wants for christmas lol!

Two Leaves and a Bud review and giveaway ends oct 23




Now I am the type of person that wakes up every morning and drinks a cup of coffee to wake up and it is my ritual. Well now that it is getting colder here I am craving something warm to drink before bed too. Coffee just doesn't sit right if I drink it before bed and there is only so much hot chocolate I can drink before my stomach is feeling gross. Well Two Leaves and a Bud Came to the rescue. Their teas are perfect for my bedtime drink. Plus they have so many different types of tea I could have a different one every night.

I got to try out alot of flavors and it would really take to long to write a review on each one so Ill tell you my favorites. The first one is Chamomile tea. At first I wasn't sure about it but once I began to drink it it really grows on you. It helped me relax and made me sleep so much better. My second favorite was the Tropical Goji green tea. I am a big fan of green tea and this one was great with a hint of a fruity taste and was Delicious hot or cold. Another favorite was the Organic Assam tea which was a mild tea and was a perfect before bed tea. Another great Tea was the Earl grey which is a classic tea and taste like most regular teas out there. It is great warm or cold. If you prefer a fruity tea then Organic Pomi-berry is a great fruity tea. My girls liked that one as a ice tea and it was awesome.

There are so many more flavors to try and really you should try all of them they all give you something different. Check out Two Leaves and a Bud and all their wonderful teas. They would make a good gift for a love one or a business partner.

Two Leaves and a Bud is giving one of my lucky readers a Mixed tea combo http://www.twoleavesandabud.com/p_Mixed-Tea-Combo-56.html for the main prize and 2 runner ups receive a sachet of each of the 15 teas. All prizes include a $1 off coupon and online discount promo code

Piggy paint Review and giveaway ends Oct 16


With 5 girls I have alot of girly things around the house and do alot of makeup, hair, and nails. I hate using anything with harsh smells or chemicals on my girls so when I heard about piggy paint I had to try it. My girls as soon as the paint is on with in a hour its off and they want more so all those chemicals worried me. With Piggy paint it is safe for kids, no harsh chemicals and no smell. How wonderful is that!http://www.piggypaint.com/
So when it arrived my and my girls sat down and took before and after pictures to show how great piggy paint covered in one coat cause really the kids don't sit still long enough to do multiple coats to give a great cover. I love that it didn't smell up the room and covered the nails in one simple coat even with old polish still on. That is great! The color was very pretty. The girls loved it!
We also tried the Piggy Paint Polish remover and I was hesitate in believing that this was gonna be odorless because Ive tried alot of polish removers and they all smelled gross and left my hands dry. Well I opened the polish remover and nothing no smell. It was like water, If I didn't know better I would of thought it was water. Now did it work well yes It is the best. It removes the polish easily without scrubbing and didn't leave everyone hands and feet dry. Now if you want to know how well this really works well here is a testimony from me, My 5 year old drew all over my white walls with Permanent black sharpie marker. I tried scrubbing it off with soap, nothing. Then with cleanser with bleach, nothing. Then WD- 40, nothing. Then any and every cleaning supply I had in the house and still the marker was there but the wall paint was starting to come off which was not good. The next day I was sitting at my desk and notice the bottle of piggy paint polish remover sitting in front of me and thought hmmm. I took it and a cotton ball and pour some on the ball then gently wiped the wall where the marker was and that easily the marker vanished into thin air and the wall paint didn't budge. I was sold!

Piggy paint has some of the cutest colors of paints and great for all ages! These would be great stocking stuffers for your little girls! So I definitely 100% recommend Piggy Paint to everyone. So check them out at http://www.piggypaint.com/

Follow Piggy Paint on twitter.com/piggypaint & Facebook for secret sales and special offers!

Lucky Earth Waterless Carwash Giveaway ends Oct 16


Ok now I just got done washing my van yesterday and I must say we used alot of soap and wasted alot of water. So when I heard of Lucky Earth I though hmm this is interesting and a great idea. To be able to wash my van with no water or little water saves me money and save the earth 2 very great things. They have abunch of neat products I would like to try!

One of course is the Waterless Car wash and is made with water, natural surfactants derived from coconut, and silicone. The surfactants break up and lift the dirt from the vehicle’s surface, while the silicone allows the dirt to be easily whisked away without scratching. In addition, the silicone leaves a smooth feel and glossy shine on automobiles, boats, and all types of motorsports and watercraft. The 32 oz. spray bottle of “Waterless” Car Wash can also be used inside vehicles on the dashboard, leather seats, doors, and any other non-fabric surfaces. You can get about 7 to 10 car washes per bottle. That sounds great to me! All Natural and Money efficient.

The other product I would like to try is the Wow! Upholstery & Carpet Spot Cleaner. It is a cleaner for automobile upholstery, carpet and floor mats, baby seats, and any other plastic or fabric. Because it is safe and natural, it can be used inside the home as well. After seeing my old nasty car seats yesterday I need something to really clean them or new car seats ha ha. Then not to mention under the car seat now that was gross actually gross isn't a big enough word for it lol! I would of love to have this to try to get some of it clean.

They also have Tire shine, Waterless Bike wash, Microfiber towels, or you can just get the whole starter kits with everything. It all looks like something I'm gonna have to try and soon lol. check out all the products at http://www.luckyearth.com/index.html

Company Info:

Lucky Earth "Waterless" Car Wash makes it possible for you to quickly, easily, and inexpensively clean and detail the whole car, inside and out, and can be used on a wet or dry surface. It dissolves and encapsulates dirt and whisks it away with a microfiber towel. Since no water is needed to wash the car, you will be helping to reduce water consumption, and no pollutants will run off into our streams, rivers, and lakes. Imagine the good we will do for ourselves, our families, and the world!

Save up to 840 gallons with one bottle of car wash.

Get 7-10 washes from just one 32oz bottle!

Save Money, Save Time, and Save Water! http://www.luckyearth.com/index.html

Happy Birthday to My little Angel!

I cant believe 5 years ago today I gave birth to my little red headed angel. She was the smallest thing I ever seen. She was born 4 weeks early and put into NICU for 2 weeks. I couldn't hold her for a week after she was born. She was 5lb 2 oz but after she lost all the fluid out of her lungs and the swelling went down she was 4lb 5 oz and came home at 4 lbs 15 oz She was 17 inches long and preemie cloths floated on her. Doll cloths were even big lol. She was a fighter though. They weren't sure if she'd make it when she was born she had SO many tubes and and machines on her tiny body and light for the severe jaundice. She was so helpless. She fought through it all though. This was a really difficult time for me because 4 days after her birth my nephew James passed away at 21 years old and i couldn't leave my baby to go to AZ for the funeral. I felt so helpless! Now it is 5 years later and she may be small the size of her 3 year old sister but she is smart, strong willed, healthy just skinny and short ha ha.

Boy how time flies! It seems like a week ago when she was born and yesterday we were celebrating her 1st birthday. I remember her at 1 year old in a size 3 months ha ha. Now I look at her going to school, dancing, singing, learning new things, fighting with her siblings, being hyper and crazy and its hard to imagine she was this tiny baby fighting to live. She definitely is my little angel with lots of angels watching over her!

I want to wish my little girl a happy 5th birthday and to have a 100 more! Keep being your self never let anyone tell you you cant do something because you have proved to everyone you can and will do whatever you want and you will make a change in this world with those ice blue eyes and red hair the world better look at!
Birth
1st Birthday
2nd Birthday

4 years old
and Now 5

Happy Birthday 5th Brealyne! We Love You!

I had the awesome opportunity to try out two thing from CSN Stores and I must say there are a million more thing I want from their stores. The first thing we got was this adorable blanket that my youngest daughter loves and my 3 year old like to steal from sister because it is so soft and beautiful. I love the green and black colors and the elegant design. This would make a awesome baby present for a boy or girl! It definitely is a favorite in our house. I think I'm gonna have to get my other daughter one too now ha ha.

The second thing I got was for my photography. It was this beautiful rug! I love love love the colors. I can use it with my white or black backdrops. It is a heavy rug too made from leather strips. So it is very durable! This rug is a art piece by itself really it is! The best part it is really made good. It could be used for a inside or outside rug. I have had lots of compliments on how gorgeous it is and I think so too. My thing is now do I really want to just use it for my photography only ha ha!
CSN Stores are very reasonably price which really shocked me! I can find anything and everything I need, want and dream of there. Hmm maybe hints to hubby for Christmas even ha ha. so check them out they are sure to have something you ll be wanting and need.

Squirrel Cheeks review

Now I am a sucker for girly items with 5 girl we have a lot but with photography and girls I'm always looking for more. We received a cute little apple hat which will be used for my photography. It is soo cute and will make a good prop with newborns and small babies. With winter coming this would make a cute baby shower gift or Christmas gift. I so wish I knew how to crochet because i love the stuff. I tried this on my 18 month old daughter and it was absolutely adorable. she look like someone out of the strawberry shortcake series ha ha love it.http://www.squirrelcheeksboutique.com/


The other thing I received was this cute little red and white polka dotted clip. Perfect for Christmas. My oldest loves this to pin her hair back. It is the style in school I guess according to her ha ha. They would both make great Christmas presents and birthday present for you special little girl.

Squirrel Cheeks has some cute little girl items for your little one from tutus, hair bows, hats, headbands and even clothes. There is alot of stuff Id love for my girls and photography business! So check her out at http://www.squirrelcheeksboutique.com/

Soda Stream review

At our house we do drink soda, and flavored water even energy drink. They can get quite expensive fast. We have been drinking alot more water but some days just call for a soda. Well we got the chance to try out soda stream and we love it. We can make our own soda fresh daily. We can have a different flavor if we want it is awesome. http://www.sodastream.co.uk/gbretail/Home.asp

The first flavor we tried was the root beer because really who can resist a good root beer or root beer float right? So we easily figured out how to set the machine up and got some cold water and put it into the bottle screwed it on and began pressing the button to carbonate the water. That was neat to watch regular water turn into carbonated water in seconds. Then we took a cap full of the mix and poured slowly into the bottle of carbonated water and shook gentle. Wah lah done root beer in about 1 minute. The best part was we made it. It like a sense of accomplishment ha ha. Then the taste test. Hmmm tastes like root beer, Yummy!

The second flavor we tried was the energy drink. My hubby is a big energy drink freak or should I say a red bull freak ha ha. So we did the same as we did with the root beer and mixed it and he tasted it and was surprised. He loved it and said it tastes exactly like red bull. That sold him instantly. He is a fan and is bragging to everyone about his homemade energy drinks ha ha what a dork!http://www.sodastream.co.uk/gbretail/Home.asp

The next one I tried was the orange because I'm a big fan of orange sunkiss or the old orange mountain dew which is no longer sold so sad!! So I was determine to try and hope this taste good as it ha ha. Well made the same way as all the others and i must say it is pretty similar to the orange sunkiss soda. Not bad!

Other flavors we liked was the cranberry raspberry which was sugar free but yummy, and the lemon lime taste like a sprite so that's great. Like I said it was a sense of accomplishment when you can say to people i made that ha ha. The only thing we didn't like was the water essences to make sparkling flavored water just not what we expected and we personally didn't care for them. The soda flavor though we love and will be back for more! We are definitely sold on this and love it! Check it out for yourself at http://www.sodastream.co.uk/gbretail/Home.asp

Bibi & Mimi review and giveaway ends oct 2

My 18 month old daughter is a shoe freak already and the funny thing is she hated shoes from birth to 1 year old. Go figure right? After her first shoes which were her monkey shoes got too small she was very upset so We found Bibi & Mimi shoes and they had monkey ones so we had to get them and try them.

She was so excited when I opened the package and she seen her new monkey shoes. She was screaming shoes shoes shoes as she laid down on the floor and stuck her feet up to put them on immediately. So the visual part passed for her ha ha! Me I thought they were adorable. I love the colors and the monkey is as cute as my little monkey.
Next to test out the durance part lol. Well she kept them on all day and fought me to take them off. She couldn't get them off her self which is nice but she wouldn't take them off anyways ha ha. I love the cushion soles they look and felt so comfortable. I love the leather and the stretchy back to put on and off easily especially with my monkeys big fat feet. They were slip and skid resistant so she didn't go sliding across the kitchen floor which is great. They are very durable even with my tough little monkey and that is a great thing.

I definitely would recommend Bibi & Mimi to anyone that has children. They are adorable and has a awesome selection to choose from. So many styles to fit your child's personality. They are great shoes and reasonable priced to so check them out at http://www.bibiandmimi.com/
Bibi & Mimi is giving one of my lucky reader a pair of shoes of their choice how cool is that !
