Nature holds the secret to beautiful hair. It always has. Bioken combines Nature’s native qualities in a balanced formula of Full Vitamins, Bee Propolis, and natural herbs.”

I love long, dark, and for the most part healthy hair. I’ve never really thought of using a treatment, but I was glad I picked the Bioken Enfanti Treatment to review. I was very pleasantly surprised what a difference it made in my hair! It really felt even healthier than it  previously was- I couldn’t stop touching it! I also got to review 2 styling products- the Camu-Camu Texture Cream an167d Camu-Camu Styling Wax. I really liked them both! I have a natural wave to my hair, so the texture cream was perfect for styling it. And I LOVE the styling wax for when I flat iron my hair. It gives it that extra hold. I can’t wait to try out some more Bioken Botanical Hair Care Products!

Pixebaby is such a great way to send pictures of your kids to friends and family.  Unlike other social networking sites PixeBaby only send them to the recipients you choose, rather than everyone on your friend or followers list seeing them.  I really like that, I am not of fan of showing pics of Bug where random people will see them.  Pixebaby is perfect for me.  I can share pics with Bugs Grandparents, they are loving Pixebaby and all the updates.  They love being able to see Bug more often.  I am not the best at  remembering to email photos to them, but with Pixebaby it is easy and fast to share pics.  I also love that they can send me request for pics.  This is a great baby app and even when your kids are no longer babies.  It is only $.99 to download and well worth every penny!pixebabycoverFlowWithBaby

So Much More Than Weight Loss…#NSNation

nutrisystem125x125

 

I never imagined that losing weight on the Nutrisystem diet would change so much more than my appearance.

I knew that being on the Nutrisystem diet and exercising would help me to lose the extra weight I was carrying around but I didn’t expect the mental changes that have come.  I feel much more confident now that my body is sliming down,  But even more than that I feel in control of my body.  I feel like no matter what craziness is happening in my life, I now have control over what I choose to put into my body and how I choose to take care of my body.

Each day when I exercise (I exercise 6 days a week), I feel better and I have a better day.  It makes me feel strong, and my body feels really good.  On my rest day each week I kinda feel lazy :)   Silly I know, but I do.

I won’t lie, dieting can be challenging.  It is a daily battle.  I have to choose each day to stay strong as I am cooking dinner for Bug (and it smells great!) or when I see a commercial on TV for one of my favorite restaurants (and all I want to do is hop in the car and go eat there). I have to remember my goals and that the sacrifice is completely worth it.

I am in such a great place right now feeling strong and confident and it just keeps getting better.  I am excited for summer to come and I will be able to be active with Bug.  We can go hiking, and running, and I will actually be able to keep up with him.

Would you like to lose weight and get healthy on the Nutrisystem diet?

Visit Nutrisystem today or call 888-853-4689 to get started!

*I am receiving the Nutrisystem Women’s Plan in exchange for blogging about my honest Nutrisystem experiences.  All opinions are my own and my results may differ from others.  On the Nutrisystem plan you can expect to lose 1-2 lbs. a week.

Why is Mommy Awesome?

As moms we are very awesome, we strive each day to provide the best life for our children.  We sacrifice for them and love them with everything we have.  So I think that makes us moms pretty awesome.  But what do our kids think makes us awesome?

Earlier today I had this conversation with 3 year old Bug:

Me: “ What makes mommy awesome?”

Bug: “Food”

Me: “What?”

Bug:”Your Food”

Me: “Oh, the food I cook for you?”

Bug: “Yeah”

I should have known.  Bug is a food loving 3 year old. :) I am so happy to hear that the time I spend slaving in the kitchen is making me awesome in his eyes!

With Mother’s Day coming up soon, we should all remember to tell the moms in our life why we think they are awesome. A really great way is by sending them Tiny Prints Mothers Day Cards.

“We offer Mother’s Day greeting cards for all sorts of moms – mom friends, moms, mothers-in-law… You want to tell her she’s doing a great job as a mom or thank her for being there for you? We have the card for it!

tinyprints

Tiny Prints provides simple, modern and unique stationery from Father’s Day Cards to personalized greeting cards to thank you cards, business cards, and even custom wedding invitations or photo birth announcements.

Harrison & Ruben absolutely LOVE their new Wheely Bug! This is one of the best toys we’ve ever received. Right out of the box my boys were playing with it. It’s so perfect for us right now, because we’re living in an extended-stay hotel because we just moved. The Wheely Bug moves so effortlessly indoors, and best of all it’s quiet, so our downstairs neighbors don’t hear a thing. It goes in any direction, and I love how easy it is for my boys to use. They hardly ever get stuck. The handle is so easy for them to grab on to, and hold while moving! This is by far their favorite ride on toy. It’s made of such high-quality materials, and it really is easy to clean, which is a must-have for little ones. Your child will absolutely adore a Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug- it would make a great Easter gift!

Hawaiian™ Kettle Style Potato Chips Review

hawaii_maui

My husband is a HUGE junk food fan, he especially LOVES chips! So when he came home to a box full of these super yummy Hawaiian Kettle Chips he couldn’t wait to dig right in.

We were able to try some of these awesome chips that come in some really yummy flavors! My husbands favorite was the Sweet Maui Onion and the hawaii_luau Wasabi, my daughter even liked the Wasabi even though it’s spicy!

The Hawaiian Kettle Chips come in a lot of yummy flavors like original, Luau Barbeque, Wasabi and Sweet Maui Onion.

Tim’s Cascade Snacks make these awesome chips and more! I also really want to try the Hawaiian Snack Ring, which come in 2 flavors: Sweet Maui Onion and Luau Barbeque.maui_rings

“Tim’s has been creating our famous chips in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain range since 1986 using an old family recipe. By starting with premium potatoes direct from family owned farms and only the finest blends of real seasonings, we think you’ll agree that you have discovered what you have been looking for from your first satisfying crunch.

Just like the mountains that surround us, we have risen to the challenge of creating great tasting snacks. We have proven that a chip crunches louder, tastes superior and satisfies better when it is prepared by people who take pride in a well made snack. Our products are still created one batch at a time. And as always – NO TRANS FATS! Many people have told us that Tim’s creates the best snacks anywhere. We believe once you’ve tried them, you’ll agree.”

My whole family absolutely loves these yummy salty treats!

These yummy chips can be purchased at www.hawaiianbrandsnacks.com or visit their site and find a retailer near you!

Disney’s Tangled Blu-ray and DVD Review ~ Available Today!

“When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of ZACHARY LEVI) hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of MANDY MOORE), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor, who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower she’s been locked away in for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an overprotective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. Tangled is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.”

  Tangled-Blu-ray 

Available in a 4-Disc Disney Blu-ray™ Combo Pack on March 29, 2011

I saw Tangled in theaters (of course I am a huge Disney fan!) and I loved it.  So I have been anticipating the blu-ray & DVD release ever since.  We were so lucky to receive the blu-ray and dvd combo pack about a week and a half ago. We all sat down as a family and watched it again.  I am happy to report I loved it just as much the second time.  Actually I think I liked it more :)   Bug is obsesses with this movie he would watch it daily if I let him, so we have seen it many times in the last week and a half.  I love the music, it is fabulous!  If you haven’t seen this movie yet you have to!  You will fall in love with it.  Rapunzel has quickly become one of my favorite Disney princesses because of this movie.  I also love the side-kicks Pascal and Maximus, they have us laughing throughout the movie.  This is a MUST HAVE family film to add to your collection!

Inconceivable Book Review ~ “A Medical Mistake, the Baby We Couldn’t Keep, and Our Choice to Deliver the Ultimate Gift”

“You’re probably aware of the story. The couple approached an IVF transfer in February 2009, but they never imagined the outcome. The pregnancy test was positive, but the clinic had transferred the wrong embryos. Carolyn was pregnant with someone else’s baby. How could a mistake of this magnitude happen? Inconceivable provides an inside look at how modern medicine could produce such a tragic mistake, and the many legal complications that ensued with both the genetic family and the clinic. Included in the book are the news-making details on how the embryo mix-up happened and was discovered, an update from the Savages on Logan’s first birthday, and the conclusion of their legal battle with the clinic that made the mistake.”

3d_book

When I first heard about the book Inconceivable by Carolyn and Sean Savage, I have to admit I hadn’t heard their story.  Apparently I was hiding under a rock at the time it all happened, considering all the news stories and their numerous TV appearances, LOL.  I didn’t quite know what to expect from the book.  I love reading fiction but sometimes struggle with keeping my attention in non-fiction books.  That was not the case at all with Inconceivable.  I was hooked right at the beginning of the book and couldn’t put it down.  I read it in 2 days.  I cried for the majority of the book as you are following them along their emotional journey.  Their story is so amazing.  Their faith and generosity is such an inspiration.  I highly recommend reading their story in this book!

You can purchase this book online at Amazon.com.

Evenflo Jump and Learn Exersaucer Update

I’m back with another update on the Evenflo Jump & Learn Exersaucer!!

evenflo

Now that my baby is on the go, he isn’t too happy to be stuck ANYWHERE for too long. I can still put him in the Exersaucer for a few minutes,DSC_0005 but he is eager to get out and explore! However, that hasn’t stopped him from enjoying the fun toys that are on the Jump and Learn Exersaucer!

The Exersaucer offers a wide range of developmental activities for my son. I’ve already mentioned the dragonfly that my son loves to suck on. Now that he is teething, he chews on the textured wings. The little sunflower toy is one of his favorites! It DSC_0182has a mirror that he can see himself in, and 2 little Peek-a-boo toys to help develop searching for hidden objects. My son spends a lot of time ‘bopping’ those toys up and down Smile

Some of the toys have intense visual patterns, while others are subdued to help develop my baby’s attractionexer1 to visual patterns. And of course, now that he is starting to imitate sounds, he loves both the toys that make noise. exerHe will even dance along with the music!

I really love that the toys can easily be removed for fun & learning anywhere!

“The Jump & Learn was designed in partnership with the Child Development Institute™ to help babies learn through play”

The Evenflo Jump and Learn Exersaucer encourages babies to discover all of their senses in a fun & exciting way!

Big Time Crib
The guys are not thrilled with their boring apartment at the Palm Woods.  They hatch a plan to improve it when Gustavo creates a fun “fake” living area for them on a soundstage for an upcoming video shoot.  The guys enlist the help of all of their friends at Palm Woods to move all of the cool games and gadgets from the set to their apartment.

Big Time School of Rocque
The guys get a dose of reality when Gustavo tells them they have to go to school while they live in Los Angeles.  While the boys want to go to the fun school in the Palm Woods, Gustavo has arranged to have their school located at the recording studio.  In the end, the boys do whatever is necessary to take down the “School of Rocque” and go to the Palm Woods school.

Big Time Bad Boy
The record company CEO thinks adding a fifth band member will broaden Big Time Rush’s appeal.  He sticks the guys with a self-proclaimed “bad boy,” who tries to inject dissension and tension within the group.  Ultimately, the guys band together and get him booted out.

Big Time Party
After learning that Gustavo is hosting a party at the studio that the boys are not invited to, they guys decide to host their own party at the Palm Woods.  However, what was intended to be a small gathering of friends quickly becomes a much bigger deal.

Big Time Jobs

    Constructive Playthings Children’s Toys and Educational Products Review

    PGL-80L
    My Daughter is such a busy busy little toddler and I am always looking for new ideas to keep her busy and try and keep up with the housework too. I fell in love with Constructive Playthings toys.
    I decided to get the Little Helper Cleaning Set for Leah so she could “help” me clean around the house, keep her busy and teach her some mad cleaning skills! I love that this little set was so easy to put together and it came with lots of fun things! It came with a bucket, broom, mop, vacuum, and everything you see above. LAN-14L
    Constructive Playthings has something for everyone in the family and it’s a great site for everyone. I love that they have educational and interactive toys for kids of all ages. Another of my favorites I found was the Power Garden tools! What little boy or girl wouldn’t love to go outside and help Mom or Dad out in the Garden! It helps keep the kids busy and they really feel like they are helping.
    SHE-603LMy daughter also really likes to do art projects and they have some perfect ones on their site! From finger painting, to tie die to an art easel, every kid in your household will be excited to jump in on the art-time fun!CMG-01L
    They also have some really fun games that my family would love to play! There are a lot of fun
    View constructive
    games like these fun dominoes, table soccer and play and score ball game. My family loves to play games and these are perfect for a family game night or just during the day!
    “US Toy/Constructive Playthings is a family owned business serving loyal customers since 1953! We strive to inspire learning, creativity, and fun by offering a unique mix of high quality products with unparalleled play value for children” (Constructive Playthings site)InlineRepresentation5ba3b19d-5bf0-4d39-b5ee-0cca4e385c5d
    I also love that Constructive Playthings has a separate website for educational products. It’s great to be able to get ideas for either a home daycare, or especially if your a teacher! They have some really great items that I fell in love with like the See and Do Discovery Kit, 15 player Rhythm Band set and the Giant Edu Blocks, perfect for any child!
    SMP-384“I received the Math Discovery Kit from Constructive Playthings. I was so excited to use this in my classroom. There are so many different activities that my students could do in this one little kit. Some of the activities included in the kit are counting, number recognition, patterns, addition, and more. My students had an awesome time playing with this. They liked being able to choose their own activities to do. My one wish was that this math kit had come with higher numbers. This kit only has activities working on the numbers 1-10. If you are looking for fun math activities to work on with your preschoolers or kindergarteners, this is a great math tool to have in your home.” Nicole_Sig_Blue
    All of the items mentioned above can be purchased at either www.cptoys.com (for consumers) or www.constructiveplaythings.com (for teachers and educators).

    Are You Ready For Swim Suit Season?

    imagesCA9DC0WO

    So I took a vacation to California recently and the warm weather was so nice.  I didn’t realize how much I was missing the warm weather until I was back in it.  Now I am counting down the days until summer!

    We love summer, Bug and I are swim-aholics.  Everyday you will find us at our neighborhood pool.  Literally, everyday.  I have friends in my neighborhood who swimming pool see us at the pool and ask “Do you guys live here?”.  LOL, We love it!  I love laying out in the sun and Bug is a fish.  He is a swimming fool.  In fact he started swimming at just 2 years old.  No lessons, just real swimming, all by himself.  That is pretty impressive to me :)  

    Well with how much we are at the pool it kinda sucks to not feel like you look your best.  Okay it more than kinda sucks, it completely sucks!

    So this year I am actually excited to go and buy my new swim suit (for the first time in years).  I am not ready just yet, as I still have some weight to lose but I am getting closer and closer to my ideal weight and body shape everyday.  It is all thanks to the Nutrisystem Diet and good old fashioned exercise.  I can’t even tell you how much I love what the diet and exercise have done (and are still doing) for my body.  I am so looking forward to a summer where I will be able to walk around at the pool with 100% confidence!!  It is a nice change since I have been so self consious due to my weight for years. Yipeeeee!!! nutrisystem125x125

    Would you like to lose weight and get healthy on the Nutrisystem diet?

    Visit Nutrisystem today or call 888-853-4689 to get started!

    *I am receiving the Nutrisystem Women’s Plan in exchange for blogging about my honest Nutrisystem experiences.  All opinions are my own and my results may differ from others.  On the Nutrisystem plan you can expect to lose 1-2 lbs. a week.

    J World Sport Rolling Backpack Review and Giveaway (3 Winners!) [CLOSED]

    backpack We were planning a road trip vacation recently so I new I would be needing a durable rolling backpack to use on the trip.  I came across J World Sports and new that their rolling backpacks were the perfect choice. Once the backpack arrived I knew I was right.  It is a quality backpack and I know it will last us through many years.  Right off I noticed that is was light-weight, this is really nice because I have had rolling backpacks before that are heavy and who wants to start out with a heavy bag?  The handle is really easy to pull out and close (with the simple push of a button).  Of course you can still carry it like a traditional backpack as well.  It rolls so well, and I loved not having to carry my very full backpack (loaded with all the necessities for a road trip with a 3 year old!).

    My favorite thing about this backpack is Rolling Backpack with Laptop Sleeve in Purple Flowerthat it has so many organizational pockets.  There is a place for everything.  On our trip I found this to be really nice as I could put small items in the front smaller pockets and know exactly where they are.  I could put pens and pencils in their own pocket.  The mesh pockets on the side are perfect for a water bottle or Bug’s sippy cup. There is even a laptop pocket inside this backpack.  It was nice being able to leave our laptop bag at home and use this pocket for our laptop. These rolling backpacks are available in so many fun colors you will find the perfect color for your child or for you!

    Things that are Brag Worthy:

    • Recessed three stage locking handle with push button
    • Soft and noiseless wheels for stable and controlled motion
    • Air mesh cushion padded shoulder straps and back with slip-in system5
    • Color matched bottom mold for protection      
    • Side mesh pockets for water bottle
    • Padded grip handle        
    • Padded laptop sleeve in main compartment
    • Organized front pocket with pencil holder, key fob and mesh pocket

  • LaRue Across America Children’s Book Review and Prize Pack Giveaway (2 Winners)! [CLOSED]

    Ike’s plan for a peaceful cruise with Mrs. LaRue are thwarted when their neighbor, Mrs. Hibbins, falls suddenly ill. Mrs. LaRue suggests that she and Ike care for her cats while Mrs. Hibbins is in the hospital, inviting them along on the cruise. But cats aren’t allowed, and Mrs. LaRue decides to take them all on a week’s vacation of road-tripping. Ike is beside himself and quickly takes up his pen to tell us why!
     
    Join award-winner Mark Teague on this romping road trip across America. Readers can follow along on the maps of the U.S. that span the endpapers. Teague drives us to the story’s satisfying conclusion, and we are left with one profound question: Can cats and dogs really be friends?

    I am a big fan of Mark Teague’s books and illustrations.  He is the illustrator of the “How Dinosaurs…..” books and the author of the LaRue series.  I think that the LaRue books are hilarious.  I love having the books told from the point of view of the main character, Ike.  Ike is a dog so you can imagine how funny this is.  What is really great about these books is that they are not your normal storytelling books.  The stories are told by letters that Ike sends to different characters.  Most of the time it is to his owner, Mrs. LeRue.  I was very excited to receive, LeRue Across America: Postcards From The Vacation, Ike’s newest adventure.

    What I love about these books are the language of the story.  I feel that sometimes children’s books make the language too simple.  I love that Mark Teague uses ‘big words’ and more adult language in his text.  It provides an opportunity for me to discuss new vocabulary with the kids in my class. 

    My favorite part of LeRue Across America was the humor in the story.  Poor Ike has to get along with his neighbors who happen to be cats.  Reading about the interactions between Ike and the cats were hilarious.  Some of the humor went over my kindergarteners’ heads but I was laughing!

    The one thing that my kids really liked were the illustrations.  Mark Teague is such a fantastic illustrator.  There are so many different things happening on each page and there is amazing detail.  Just looking at the pictures in this book was fun.

    If you have not read the LaRue books by Mark Teague, you are missing out!  This newest book is a great addition to the series!  You can buy it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and in your local bookstore.

    Harrison loves his new Playmobil Click and Go Jet. {Or “Pairplaine” as he calls it.} It’s sturdy and well made- I love you can you can pull the wings out. It’s something even my 2 year old can figure out. {and it’s great for storage.} But his favorite part is opening the cockpit and putting the pilot in and out. The Playmobil Jet is simple, yet very entertaining. Your child will love it as much as mine do!

    Ashworth College ~ Online, Affordable, Accredited and a Great Choice for Obtaining a Quality Education Wherever Life Takes You

     

    ashworth

    Ashworth College is 100% online, affordable, accredited and a great choice for obtaining a quality education wherever life takes you! Ashworth College is now enrolling students using their Post 9/11 GI Bill education benefits. Military personnel and their families can now receive up to $13,500/36 months of education benefits. With Ashworth College offering tuition that is 50% less than the average accredited online school, which means benefits go even further whether it is taking more classes or having benefits left over to share with a spouse or dependant.”

    image

    Since I never attended college, my plan has always been to go at some point.  So as a stay at home mom an online college seems like the perfect way to attend college and still be home with my kids.  I was recently introduced to Ashworth College and I am impressed with how low their prices are compared to other accredited online schools.  Paying lower prices means your money goes even further and you can graduate debt free.  Especially if you are military or family of military, you can combine the low prices with the military discount.  That is a big deal to be able to finish college without a huge debt hanging over your head, and would be ideal.

    Check out Ashworth College today!
