Aden + Anais Product Review And Giveaway


Keeping our babies safe is the most important thing to parents. Aden + Anais can hep us do that. Aden + Anais is a company created by Australian mothers in the U.S. who were looking for muslin wraps for their babies. Muslim wraps are a staple of Australian mothers who know the benefits of using them on their babies. Muslim is a lightweight breathable fabric that allows your babies body to not become overheated. It becomes softer with every wash. Most importantly, it also reduce the risk of SIDS.

One Of Those Weeks

Ever have one of those day? I've been having one of those weeks. Things just haven't been going my way lately. Between needed house repairs, bills, and complaining kids that it's raining and they can't go swimming my head is spinning. I really need a break. I can't sleep because I keep thinking about things that need to be done, dogs barking because of raccoons, and wondering does apidexin work. On top of all that I've been really neglecting my blog hopping. I'm really hoping to get a chance sometime tomorrow to clear off some of the things on my 'To-Do' list. Wish me luck!

Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs Review

Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is the third installment in the hilarious Ice Age movies. In Dawn Of The Dinosaurs Manny and Ellie prepare for the birth of thier baby. Sid, his usual clumsy self, falls through a hole in the ice and finds three T-Rex eggs. The mommy dinosaur comes back and takes her newly hatched baby T-Rex's and Sid down the underground dinosaur world. Manny, Ellie, and Deigo set off to rescue Sid. Along the way they meet Buck, a weasel. In the end Sid is rescued and Manny and Ellie have thier baby, a little girl named Peach.

Ice Age 3:Dawn Of The Dinosaurs is a hilarious adventure with lots of laughs. My nephew thinks this one is the funniest out of all three of the Ice Age movies.

Heads Or Tails #99

Heads Or Tails


This week's theme/prompt is HEADS - "Pile".

Hmmm....what piles up the most at my house? I guess that would be the laundry even though I do at least two loads a day it just seems like a never ending battle doesn't it. I guess having a teenager and a toddler doesn't help in the laundry area much. The teenager seems to change her clothes every time I turn around and the toddler needs his changed constantly because he loves getting dirty. Bedding gets washed once a week and with four beds that means there is four extra loads a week too. Will the horror never end!!!!

We took the kids to the zoo on Friday and at the zoo they have a Aboriginal Medicine Wheel and Garden with various plants. This is one of them, but I can't remember the name right now. It's on the tip of my tongue, but for the life of me I just can't remember it. I hate it when that happens!

Through My Eyes Fridays


Through My Eyes Fridays is a weekly meme created by one of my dearest blogging buddies TinaL.

This is what you see when you look through my eyes...


Swimming! The weather hasn't been the most cooperative lately for swimming so on the last nice day we had the kids hit the pool. I've about had it with this rainy weather we've been having. Seriously where is the sun, it is summer isn't it?

Thrifty Thursday



This weeks Thrifty Thursday hint is the library. Not only by taking your children to the library is a fun time, but by borrowing books from the library instead of buying them you are saving a lot of money. Not only do most library loan out books, but many also have a variety of children's movies too. My kids could spend hours roaming around the library checking out books and movies. Taking your children to the library is a great way to get them interested in reading and it's free! Now if the library only loaned out Vegas vacations that would rock!

Wednesdays - Spiderdogs




When having a campfire there are two things you must do, one is making Smores, the other is making spiderdogs. My kids actually like the spiderdogs more then the Smores. Me, well I like both of them. I actually think I ate so many Smores and spiderdogs while camping that I need to get some avesil but who can blame me, Smores and spiderdogs are so good!
