I am one of those people who can't stand clutter and mess, but with two kids and a side baking business, mess is almost inevitable. I do what I can to keep my house clean, but rarely is it 100% clean. But I think that sometimes, you have to make a mess in order to have a little fun, especially when it comes to kids. One of my favorite ways to make a mess and have fun with my kids, is to make

Zeiss Individual® Lenses and Educational Tools

I have been wearing glasses and contacts since I was in the 5th grade. Since then, I have gone to the eye doctor every year to get checked out and make sure that my vision has not changed. Until I reached my adult years, my prescription changed almost every year. Taking care of my eyes and going to the eye doctor every year has been one of many ways I have tried to keep track of my overall

#Mamavation Monday- Still Trying to Stay Afloat

2012-02-19T18:44:00.002-06:00

Well, it has been another one of those weeks. Absolutely no working out has been done, other than housework...I am still overwhelmed with stress and Saturday's events kinda put me over the edge. I have been doing my best to at least somewhat stay on track with eating, but even that I really don't care about right now either. Thankfully I have not gained any weight. I am only 2 pounds from my

Nerium AD Review- A Face Changer

2012-02-17T18:07:00.002-06:00

Now that I am in my 30's I have started to notice small lines and other flaws starting to come out on my face more. I know I am not that old, but can definitely see the lines and am not a fan!! I struggle with trying out new face products because I have fairly sensitive skin on my face. I haven't changed what I use on my face such as face wash, lotion and even makeup in quite sometime. It seems

Day in the Life- February 15, 2012 I Love Grandma and Grandpa

2012-02-17T17:19:00.001-06:00

Was having such a hard time getting the kids to both smile and look at me so I could take a picture to send to their grandparents for Valentine's. I actually got these shirts last year and was shocked that they still fit. Good enough for one more day and to let the grandparents know that we love them!! This was the best picture out of all of them because Little Man was making a weird smiling

Day in the Life February 17, 2012 Another Use for Bandaids

2012-02-17T17:11:00.000-06:00

The other night I cut my finger on the back end of my knife while making dinner. It is at a horrible spot, so I have to keep a band aid on it otherwise it keeps splitting open. Of course, the only band aids we have in the house are kid themed. Right now I have on an Angry Birds one. Well, the kids have gotten a hold of the box and wanted to put band aids on themselves. We also all have a cold

Day in the Life- February 9, 2012 What a Mess!!

2012-02-15T19:38:00.001-06:00

Little Miss has been on a roll lately with wanting to pull out all of the books in the playroom. She takes them out one by one, looks at a few pictures then pulls the next one out. It is funny to watch, but really getting annoying to pickup. I hope she gets over this stage soon :) I do love her though!!

Day in the Life- February 14, 2012 Simple but Sweet Valentine's

2012-02-15T19:26:00.001-06:00

I told the hubs not to get gifts for Valentine's Day this year. It isn't like we really need to spend the money and sometimes I really can't stand the hype behind it. It is a nice reminder that we should love each other and show our love, but it has definitely become over commercialized. One reason why I also "made" Valentine's this year. I even made Little Man's Valentines to pass out to his

Day in the Life- February 13, 2012 Preparing for Valentine's Day

2012-02-15T19:04:00.000-06:00

I wanted to make some special treats for Little Man's preschool teachers. I made some heart shaped cakes with a new pan I bought at Target. I have a white cake recipe that I use a lot and just added a little pink coloring. I then dipped the bottom side in white chocolate.. Now how bad can that be?? I also made some mini donuts and dipped a few cakes bites for them too. I found a cute little box

Day in the Life- February 12, 2012 Super Fast Train Boy

2012-02-15T18:01:00.001-06:00

My parents called and wanted to see if we wanted to do to a Train Expo. I wasn't exactly ensured what it entailed, but if I had known I mist likely would not have gone. I didn't realize it was the same thing my FIL had taken my son to before. It really was just a bunch of old guys selling their model trains and showcasing their setups. Some of it was cool to look at and Little Man liked watching

Day in the Life- February 11, 2012 Shopping Trip

2012-02-15T17:55:00.002-06:00

I was doing a task for a blogger group that I was joining and decided to head to Target to browse. How does browsing get so expensive?? I have been needing a bigger purse, so I got one, but it is more like a bag.. It is cute and will be more stylish than a diaper bag and it can hold kiddo stuff along with mine. I also found some gloves for super cheap!! .60 cents for 2 pairs of gloves!! I
