If your boys are like mine, they like weird, gross, abnormal, and flat out creepy things!  National Geographic has a new set of books out that are perfect for my boys, because The Gamer thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything, and these books have help bring him down a notch and realize that there's a whole big world out there of things that even he doesn't know! Of course, after dinner one night, I gave Braxton the first book called Ultimate Weird But True 2, and the first page he and The Entertainer opened the book…

PREMAMA® Essentials Prenatal Drink Mix Review & Giveaway (11/7) | #pregnancy

As a doula, one of the most common early pregnancy complaints that I hear (aside of just being flat out tired all the time) is that moms hate taking prenatal vitamins because they make them sick in some form or fashion.  Whether it's heightened morning sickness or constipation, sometimes, prenatal vitamins seem like they're doing more harm than good, and many pregnant women just stop taking them - which is simple unacceptable.  On the flip side, nursing moms usually drop the prenatal vitamins after the baby is born, but they're so important to help establish a healthy breastmilk supply. (Side…

Nerf Rebelle – Powerful in Pink and Purple | #Giveaway (11/8)

Now that Kylie is a teen, I am SO out of the loop when it comes to toys for girls.  I know that there have been brands who have started to appeal to girls by taking popular toys marketed for boys and making them pink and purple, but until now, I didn't realize that Nerf has their own line of toys for girls called Nerf Rebelle! Honestly, I think Braxton (our 9 year old) would love this line for himself, because his favorite color is pink!  These are so cool, and you can find the whole Nerf Rebelle line at…

RobiComb Lice Zapping Comb Review | LiceGuard Treatments

Lice.  Lice, oh, lice, oh   Our house has been plagued with those nasty little critters more times that we'd like to admit. Treating lice can be extremely expensive and dangerous to your child's health if you use the traditional chemical treatments. With active kids, it's going to happen.  Lice can be transferred at school, on the ball field, at church, during a sleepover, on a camping trip, at a restaurant, on the playground, through sharing hats, scarves, stuffed animals, towels, brushes, beds, your couch, carpet, or just about anywhere else your hair can go. My boys have come home…

I’m in Love with a Church Girl – Movie Tickets Giveaway!

Have you heard JaRule's new movie coming out in theaters October 18th?  It's called I'm in Love with a Church Girl, and I'm pretty excited about having a move to take my teenage daughter to see that is not only clean but has a FANTASTIC message as well!  I'm really hoping we'll be able to get out and see this one!  I want her to see, on the big screen, that being labeled a "goody-goody" and a "Christian" is something to be proud of.  I want, more than anything, for her to keep her faith and to continue on the…
