Piggy Paint Nail Polish Review – Natural as Mud! | Giveaway (4/8)

Kylie loves to paint nails.  She's been dubbed quite the nail artist in our small town.  Anywhere she visits, she's either pulling out her nail polish, looking through someone else's stash.  Sadly, she's not allowed to paint her (or my) nails in the house, because the smell gives my husband a headache.  That all changed when the Piggy Paint came in! odorless | hypoallergenic | water-based | hard, durable finish When she opened the box, the first thing I told her was that it doesn't smell - at all.  Immediately, she wanted to get her homework done, so that she…

Moshi Monsters Character Encyclopedia Review & Giveaway | #MoshiMonsters

Until last month, I'd never heard of Moshi Monsters.  I'm so eager to get my kiddos thinking of things other than Legos and Star Wars, that I put just about anything else in their hands! (Instagram Photobomb!) What are Moshi Monsters, you ask?  Well, I had to ask that, too.  When I received the Moshi Monsters Character Encyclopedia, I took a look at it before my boys got their grubby little hands on it, and found this cute little intro: Welcome to the gloopendous world of Moshi Monsters, a weird and wonderful place brimming with crazy critters of all shapes…

The Computer Teacher from the Black Lagoon Review | #readingrocks

I'm not sure if it's all schools or just Barbers Hill, but Hawk has this thing called "Reading Rocks", and they have to read 50 books in a certain amount of time to be able to go to a "Reading Rocks" party.  It's designed to get kids used to, and enjoy, reading books with their family members. This time, we dropped the ball.  Even though Hawk has read numerous books in the last couple of months, we haven't really thought about writing them down.  It wasn't until the night before last that we realized that he only had like eight…

Mommy’s Bliss Sweet Slumber Review | #review #baby

When you think about Mommy's Bliss products, I'm pretty sure that the first thing that comes to mind is the Gripe Water.  It was with me.  Because we used the Gripe Water with Jett when he was younger, Mommy's Bliss is a brand we trust.  When I learned about Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber line, I just had to try it out.  I had no idea that they had more than just Gripe Water. Jett is at the age where he's into everything.  At 18 months old, he's very active, and it takes him a while to get settled down when…

Hershey’s Marshmallow Eggs Easter S’mores Recipe | #hersheys #easter

It's inevitable.  No matter how hard we try around here, holidays get the best of us.  I try not to give my kiddos candy all the time, but holidays are a free-for-all and we allow them to eat whatever they want those days.  There are no rules to what they can eat, as long as they know what they can handle.  Because they're not used to candy all the time, they do pretty good at limiting themselves.  This year, however, is going to be filled Hershey's Easter Candy and lots of fun! Among the anticipated delights, the allure of gummy…

VeggieTales: The Little House That Stood Review & #Giveaway (3/20)

gotta VeggieTales.  When VeggieTales first came out, I loved, because they had a Larry and Bob.  We have always called my dad Larry Bob.  It was kinda cool to look at this new Christian animation concept and think, "hey, those are my dad's names!"  But in reality, it was great to have fun and interesting figures turn into silly role models, for our kids, right before our eyes. I'm always amazed, and excited, to see what new and off the wall ways that Big Idea, Inc. comes up with to portray the stories and parables from the Bible.  VeggieTales:  The…

LISTERINE 21 Day Challenge for Better Oral Health – We did it! | #listerine

We did it!  We completed the Listerine 21 Day Challenge - and we loved it!  As a matter of fact, we completed 21 days, and didn't even realize it! When I first started the Challenge, I have to admit that I never really had more than a brush-my-teeth kind of routine.  I don't know if it's that I was just lazy about it, or if I didn't want to mess with it, but I would occasionally floss or swish with mouthwash if I'd just happened to see it sitting there.  I never went out of my way to make sure…
