American Idol Results Shocker

gene_simmons_kiss_tongue

I ended up joining on on a live streaming show at MomTV hosted by Danielle from Extrordinary Mommy. Who by the way did an amazing job - she has such an upbeat personality. So while I'm watching her show I dvr'ed American Idol to watch later. I'm disappointed. I really thought Adam had this one in the bag. That kid has some serious talent and he's different. Sure Kris can sing, yes he's cute but he's also … [Read more...]

Mommy Advice: Back Talking Pre-Teen Brats

teethchatter

Yes, I'm calling my son a BRAT. For the past year he has slowly been pushing me to the edge with his snotty little back talk and I'm just at a loss on what to do. We've talked to him to till we're blue in the face, we've grounded him, we've taken away privileges, we've sent him to bed early, everything short of taping his mouth shut. And yes, we are big on following through with punishment. He just came off of a two … [Read more...]

Playskool Clipo Hippo Review

clippohippo

About Playskool and the Clipo Hippo Meet Playskool PLAYSKOOL began with a simple idea: what if toys for young children didn't just entertain them, but also encouraged their minds to learn and grow? It's a notion that seems self-evident today, so it's surprising to think it was innovative back when we started in 1928! The world has changed a lot since that earlier time, and so has PLAYSKOOL. But our commitment to … [Read more...]

The Hairy Truth of Summer

shaving

I took a peek at the forecast for the week...hot, hot, hot, like mid to upper 80's kind of hot. Time for shorts. But honestly, I'm not a shorts kind of girl. I usually just wear my blue jeans year round. It's probably silly but I just hate the way I look in shorts now. Back in high school I ran track - sprinting. All that running left me with thick muscular thighs and little twiggy calves. Well, 10 years later … [Read more...]

No, I'm not talking about the reality show, Survivor. I'm talking about my toddler. You would think a grown woman would be no match for the underdeveloped mind of a toddler. Well, let me tell you this girl is the most mischievous, stubborn, clever, and willful child I've ever encountered. Our daughter Kaydence, who's not quite two has gotten into the habit of taking her clothes off, stripping off the diaper and … [Read more...]

Pepsi Throwback, Throw It Back!

mountaindewthrowback

I'm all for trying new things, even old things that are new again, like the new flavor of Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback. The can is retro, flavoring made with natural sugar - sounds like a great soda right? My husband saw the 12 pk cases in the grocery store last week and picked up one of each. And you guys know how much love, love, love my mountain dew. I pop the top of a Mountain Dew Throwback and take a big … [Read more...]

Got the Cold Bug Blues, Again!

snotmountain

If it's not one thing it's another. Tuesday evening I noticed my throat was feeling pretty raw, three hours later my head felt like it was going to explode and I couldn't breath through my nose. Yesterday....let's just say I was seriously one cranky bear. I can't believe I've had this many colds this year, this is what? two in two months? And of course both of the girls have runny noses now. And today, well...check … [Read more...]
