30 Days of Mom-to-Be: Day 6 – Rebozo (Mexican Shawl) for Labor

As you've probably noticed by now, I tend to march to the beat of my own drum compared to the rest of my family. I am a labor doula, and it's just in my nature to be a natural birth advocate. One of the greatest tools I've had the privilege of utilizing during birth has been the Rebozo Wrap, also known as a traditional Mexican Shawl.  However, any shawl or length of fabric will work! The Rebozo is extremely versatile during pregnancy, labor, birth, as well as postpartum! (more…)

Our router is fried! Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Last night, in the middle of Andy playing Black Ops and me watching Army Wives, our router just up and died! Not only did it smell funny ( fried), but the lights were off and it never turned back on. After a couple of hours of Andy trying out a new one (that didn't work how he wanted) and me falling asleep while baby Vulture rolled and kicked and punched my insides black and he gave up. One computer in the house has internet, and it's not mine. So that means no blogging today, and no Army Wives! We should…

Can you believe that it's been almost THREE years since the sweet little two year old, Caylee Anthony was murdered? Have you been following this tragic story? Only now, the sweet baby's 9 month incubator (which is the nicest thing I can say about Casey Anthony right now) is once again trying to place blame for this baby girl's death. According to CNN and other news sources, she's blaming her FATHER, George Anthony for a long string of, what I believe are, total lies. (more…)

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment Review

Win Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment! One of the drawbacks to this pregnancy is that I've noticed that I have a really dry scalp.  I guess that goes along with having dry skin as well, but I am not a big fan of going from a great head of debris free hair to a crumbly, dry, itchy scalp. After using Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair Treatment I have had great results with keeping my dry scalp at bay.  I love coconut and coconut oil, and another plus is that my scalp…

30 days of Mom-to-Be Day 5: Baby Clothes (makes mom happy)

I apologize for my absence!  I blame it on my sister-in-law.  I started watching Grey's Anatomy, and she texted me to catch up so that she could freak out with me over the last episode, so that's what I've been doing.  Pitiful, I know. The best way to make mom happy during pregnancy is to feed the hunger of getting ready for the baby!  The best way to do that is to buy something FOR the baby.  By doing this, you're actually giving mom-to-be the gift of happiness!

KonoAudio Earbuds for Tweens and Teens Review and Giveaway

WIN! KonoAudio iPopperz Sportz Baseball Earbuds I don't now about you, but my kiddos LOVE playing games on my phone.  The most annoying game they play is Angry Birds.  Not because of the game itself (it's cool, I ), but because when I'm watching the ballgame (or Grey's), the last thing I want buzzing around in my ear is the Angry Birds song and the little birds chirping and or whatever it is they so annoyingly do! The same goes for the DS or  I just don't want to hear it.  The boys have those hard supposed-to-fit-every-ear earbuds that were…

30 Days of Mom-to-Be: Day 4 – Gift Registry

Are you planning on doing a gift registry? I wasn't.  Frankly, with baby #4 on the way, I don't see the point.  HOWEVER, my BFF, Roxanna the Jolly would not stop bugging me about it, and she insisted I register. So I did. For her. Ha!  Password protected, and she's the only one who has the password.  As a matter of fact, I don't even remember the password. Did you know that you can do a gift registry via Amazon??  Mine were actually through two different cloth diaper retailers, however, with places like Amazon or Babies R Us, you aren't…
