Busy!

I havent been online much lately!

Friday night me my mom & Hailee went to a Rascal Flatts concert. Hailee looked way cute! The pictures are blurry because I copied them from my myspace. We had lawn seats so we brought a blanket & decided she wanted to sleep. She slept thru the whole concert! Of course I held her so she wouldnt get trampled on!



Saturday we went to a Book Bag Giveaway at a local park for a family who was killed a few years ago. They had cotton candy, popcorn, clowns, firetruck, face painting & food. Hailee had lots of fun!

Today I have spent the day posting some things on craigslist & organizing toys!

I am enrolling Hailee in preschool on Sept. 24th. I changed my mind about sending her next yr. I thought since William & I are seperating it might be good for her to get out! She will go a few days later than the rest of the kids but she is very excited. Im not sure when her first day will be but I will have lots of cute pictures!

We have picked out a few outfits for her. Im hoping to sell my stuff on craigslist so I can get her some more. I cnat wait to recieve my gift card for Gymboree I won to. Thtas going to be a big help!

Hailee has found a new love...Barbies. I was one to say I wouldnt want my child to play with them but she loves them! I guess its all how you teach your child about being beautiful inside & not about being super skinny like barbies!

I will try to get on as much as possible & read all of your blogs!

Soda Stream Review



My husband is huge soda drinker, we used to go through a 12 pack every few days. When I heard of Soda Stream I knew this is a product we got get alot of use out of and the money it will save us. Soda Stream sent us Fountain Jet Starter Kit to review. As soon as we received it I ripped open the box and used it right away! I was amazed as how easy it was! The soda is quick to make. Besides the Fountain Jet Soda Maker, we received rootbeer, diet cola, orange, energy, cranberry raspberry, lemon lime, pink grapefruit, ginger ale, and a variety flavor pack of sparkling water. I love the Diet Cola. There are Over 25 regular, diet and caffeine-free flavors to chose from! The Diet flavors are sweetened with a combination of sugar and Splenda brand sweetener.
Each 500ml soda mix bottle makes the equivalent of 12 liters (about 33 cans!) of soda. Regular soda mix contains no high fructose corn syrup and diet soda mix contains no aspartame. All-natural MyWater flavor essences are unsweetened and calorie-free.

Another good thing about Soda Stream is that it's healthier than your other soda brands.

The enegry drink is great we are no longer paying $2 or more for a can at the store! For $4.99 we can can get 12 liters!

You choose how much carbonation goes into each bottle, which is great!

Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker Includes Soda Maker, 110-Liter Licensed Carbonator & Two Carbonating Bottles. The price of $99.99 may seem high but after you purchase one you will see how much its actually saving you!

There is also 3 other machines to choose from besides the Fountain Jet. They come in a few diff. colors so you could match up with your kitchen decor & leave the Soda maker sit right on the counter. I takes up a lil amount of space!


Soda Stream has a bunch of recipes to use for your different flavors of soda!

The Fountain Jet Soda Maker can make up to 110 liters of carbonated water offering you great savings compared to pre-packed carbonated water and beverages.

Turn tap water into sparkling water in 30 seconds with the Fountain Jet Soda Maker. The Fountain Jet fits the extra large 110-liter carbonator and includes an easy to clean drip tray and customizable carbonation levels.

Baby Legs Review & Giveaway



BabyLegs are a favorite around here. They made our diaper changes easy & they look stylish. They kept her knees from getting hurt when crawling. They dont need to be taken off during potty training! They allow Hailee to still wear her flip flops & skirts and keep her legs covered.

BabyLegs fit all sizes & genders and can also be used as arm warmers on kids or adults. Hailee has worn baby legs since she was a baby til now. They go great with almost anything! They can be worn under pants to for extra warmth! There are so many to choose from! Something for everyones style, Academy, Basic, Fresh, Funky, Modish, Earth Organic, Retro & Seasonal. Also check out Baby Legs Cool, UPF 50 with very cute summer fun styles!

BabyLegs LLC has grown from one mom’s diaper bag essential to an essential product for all. They began as a solution to keep little legs warm, and now the uses are endless!

Nicole Donnelly, then a stay-at-home mom, created BabyLegs to keep her dear daughter, Sara’s, little legs warm, while she was diaper free to allow bad rashes to heal. This impromptu invention not only allowed Sara’s rash to heal, but also protected her from many elements, made diaper changes quick and easy, kept her knees protected while crawling, and provided sun protection. Beyond all of these benefits, the leg warmers were also very fashionable. After numerous inquiries from other moms about where Donnelly found the little leg warmers, she began selling her invention out of a diaper bag, and the popularity of BabyLegs spread quickly throughout the community. BabyLegs can now be found in over 50 countries from Israel to Chile to Iceland. That is our rash to riches story – we hope you enjoy our sweet BabyLegs.

BabyLegs sent us a pair of Hop Scotch to review. These BabyLegs are adorable with bands of dots adorned with a flowered center in shades of powder pink, spring green, sky blue, hot pink, and burgundy against a chalk white background. They match so many things.They are both soft & comfortable. Hailee loves to model in them!

BabyLegs new styles are just adorable as the old styles! I love the Chutes BabyLegs!

BabyLegs make great babyshower gifts!BabyLegs can purchased online at BabyLegs.comor to find a retailer near you can check here!

MolliCoolz Shakers Review!



I know I love a good milkshake. Being a SAHM I can not always run to a local drive thru or ice cream place. MolliCoolz makes getting a milkshake simple, just take it out of the freezer add milk & shake and you've got a great milkshake!

MolliCoolz sent me strawberry, chocolate, cookies and cream, & vanilla Shakers. When I opened the MolliCoolz Shaker I saw small icecream beads and added milk to the fill line. Adding to the fill line makes the shake thick & creamy. I first tried Strawberry. It was delicious. I decided to share my love for MolliCoolz with my neighbors and they all loved them and wanted to know where to get them.

I never drink milk so this is a great way for me to drink milk with a great taste. I recommend MolliCoolz Shakers to everyone!

While grocery shopping I saw MooliCoolz Shakers at Walmart and grabbed a few. They are not expensive at all. $1.50 a milkshake that size is a great price!

MolliCoolz Shakers offer an easy way to satisfy your craving for a deliciously, thick and creamy milkshake at home. No need for a blender, or even an ice cream scoop. Just check out your grocer's freezer. MolliCoolz Shakers come in single serving containers filled with free flowing ice cream beads. All you have to do is add milk, replace the container's cover and shake. Shakers are available in a variety of mouth-watering flavors including Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies n' Cream. Or customize your Shaker by using different beverages to enhance the milkshake experience.

Fuji Enviromax Review


With a child its seems like we go through so many batteries. Throwing so many batteries away is just not healthy for our enviroment until now.

The material thats make Fuji Enviromax batteries are derived from the basic elements of the Earth. There is nothing inside a Fuji EnviroMAX battery that will harm the environment if it is disposed of through normal waste systems. A few reasons why are that Fuji EnviroMAX batteries contain no harmful mercury, cadmium - nor are they packaged with dangerous (and non-recyclable) PVC plastic. Instead, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are made in some of the world's most eco-respectful battery plants, operating under some of the most strict standards of environmental responsibility. In fact, most of all resources used in the Fuji EnviroMAX manufacturing process are reused and recycled! What's more, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are labeled and packaged with recycled paper and P.E.T. plastic. The result is batteries that meet a world standard for environmental responsibility and recyclable materials. And no other batteries are so respectful of our environment as Fuji EnviroMAX.

Fuji EnviroMAX sent us a box of AAA and AA which we use everyday now. The life of the batteries last a bit longer for us to. I can feel better about going through so many batteries thanks to Fuji EnviroMAX. We use our EnviroMAX for our video game controllers, my camera, remotes & Hailee's toys!

• Long shelf life - one of the longest alkaline batteries in the industry
• One of the longest lasting alkaline batteries available
• Priced competitively among market leaders
• Power meets or exceeds the competition
• Works well in extreme climate conditions
• Perfect for digital devices

The Fuji EnviroMAX battery is great for your:

Video Camera
Digital Camera
Camcorder
Hand Held Game
CD Player
MP3 Player
PDA
Personal Organizer
Headphones
Remote Control
Calculator
Clock
Flashlight
Walkie-Talkie
Toys
Other

Fuji EnviroMAX come in DIGITAL ALKALINE LINE AAA Batteries & AA Batteries
& SUPER ALKALINE LINE AAA Batteries, AA Batteries, C Batteries & D Batteries

Fuji EnvirMAX can be purchased online at Amazon or at your local Target, ACE, True Value & Shop 'n Save

A pig?


A few weeks ago Hailee was talking about how she dressed as a lion and wanted to know if she could dress as pig. I have never seen a pig costume for Halloween besides piglet. Kati told me about Chasing Fireflies she had gotten so I looked it up online and found an adorable pig costume! Is this not the cutest! I just dont know if I can afford to pay $38.00 for it! I know its only August but October will be here before you know it!

My beautiful daughter!


I took this picture at the Air Show. I wish it would show up bigger. I just love it! [Just click on it to see it full size!] We ended up getting tickets last minute and then we found of after searching for days the Air Show was letting anyone in so we went at 9 and got home around 6:30. We had a great time minus the temp of 95 degrees! We arent used to it being that hot. I am very sun burnt I mean very! We drank about 20 bottles of water at $3 a bottle. Ridiculous!

My head hurts from the sun & taking pictures looking up.

I'll post some other pictures later after my headache goes away!

O Yikes Review & Giveaway



We are always on the go. I mean always! With a toddler I still have to bring certain items with me when we go out. Sunscreen, drinks, snacks, extra outfit, wipes, keys, camera etc. All of these items do not fit in my purse nor would I want to carry them all in my purse. That's where O Yikes comes in!

I received the Messenger 24.7 Package it includes an accessory case thats is great for almost everything, which I love, a cylinder case to carry my extra bottle of water in, & a changing pad!

I of course tried out everything except the changing pad but I did open it up. It would have been perfect when I was at the diaper stage with Hailee!

The Messenger bag is so nice. I am quite the bag whore. I'm always needing a new bag but I think my search is over now that I have found this bag. It works as a diaper bag but doesn't exactly have to be a diaper bag! It could work for laptops or school work, etc. It has a huge main compartment plus 5 additional pockets inside! There is also a key ring on the inside! The outside has a pocket on the back & a zippered organized pocket on the front. Each side of the bag has a pockets one side is Velcro and has an extra pocket inside for mp3 player, phone or other items & one is stretchy drawstring. I use them as a spot for my drink & a spot for Hailee's. This bag is just perfect for keeping all my stuff organized. With Hailee being 3 I dont need to feel like I am carrying a diaper bag, this bag is stylish!

The shoulder strap is a long wide strap with no slip padding so its easy to carry! It also hangs over my stroller perfect!

The Messenger Bag can be purchased separately along with other great stylish bags including a laptop sleeve you can get to match your bag of choice! The Messenger comes in 4 color choices!

Other a
Accessory Case:
The O Yikes! accessory case quickly and easily keeps you organized with two see through mesh pockets. It’s perfect for holding your little essentials for the office – paper clips, post it notes, and memory sticks to items for the little one – medicines, Binky's, and toys.

The O Yikes! changing pad is ideal for those quick and sometimes unexpected diaper changes. The easy unfolding design with the Velcro tab makes it convenient to change diapers anywhere. The pad unfolds to comfortably fit even your largest toddler. It’s also just as easy to put away and store. Once the pad is folded, it becomes small and compact - perfect to “grab and go”. (Does not include the wipes case.)

Cylinder Case:
The insulated O Yikes! cylinder case can keep hot items hot and cold items cold. Not only is it designed to carry standard size water bottles, it can also hold most bottles and sippy cups. The cylinder case is also perfect for holding other uniquely sized items appropriate for those who “work while one the go” – comfortably holds power cords, pens, pencils, and other slender items.

Carolina Pad Review & Giveaway - Back 2 School Giveaway #2


Carolina Pad has the perfect items for back to school shopping! All of their items have trendy and fun patterns. Hot Chocolate happens to be my favorite line!

Carolina Pad school, office, and arts and craft products feature exceptional quality and design. They are a great way to express yourself!

How It All Started The Carolina Pad story begins in 1945 in Charlotte, North Carolina. That’s when Joseph K. Hall Jr. and several business associates managed to scrape up enough money and equipment to start up a school supply manufacturing company. Joe had been operating Hall & Morris, a school supply wholesale business in Belmont, North Carolina. The new company offered composition books, notebook paper, primary tablets, pencils, crayons, and other school supplies. A former teacher, principal, and coach, Joe was excited by the new company’s offerings.

Carolina Pad continued to sell school supplies in the market formerly serviced by Hall & Morris. But since it was now in the manufacturing businss, Carolina Pad had more products to sell. So to get an edge over larger, more established counterparts, Joe sold products directly to schools in the Carolinas and Virginia — often out of the back of his truck!

Carolina Pad sent me a bunch of products from Simply Chic, Hot Chocolate, Chit Chat, Whimsical Flower & Pattern Play! I recieved notebooks, 13 pocket expandable accordian folder which is great for storing bills, comp book that contains puctuation info & parts of speech info inside the front cover and word play & misspelled words inside the back cover , a very sturdy binder, tab dividers with pockets, file folders, & a pocket folder!

My favorite item would probably be the Hot Chocolate Notebook. I like to keep a notebook of things for Hailee, weight, height, milestones, things she may say, etc. This notebook is perfect because of the features my fav. being the elastic closure!

Not only are Carolina Pad products trendy they will hold up alot longer than other prducts I have seen. The notebook covers are made sturdy not flimsy!

I have seen lots of other cute products at Walmart and the prices were very reasonable for being so stylish! You can also purchase them at Walgreens, CVS, Kmart, & many more, collections vary by store! You find out which stores carry your favorite products here!
