250 words


My life. Started with my mommy and daddy. Yes I still call them that. I love them with all my heart. They raised four kids to be best friends. I have one brother who always has my back an older sister who I want to be just like and a baby sister who I made into my mini me. I lived in the same house my whole childhood. (the house my dad was also raised in) I went to cosmetology school when I was 17. Worked and lived on my own for four years. At one point in time I had three jobs. I then found and fell madly in love with the Mr. we didn't waist any time. Got married, made babies and going to school. Some days are hard but most are amazing. My life is my family but I also enjoy warm weather, cold lemonade, swim suites, anything with sugar and snuggles. I am very touchy and want to hug everyone. I wish so badly I could play the piano and sing. I wish I could paint. I wish I had a way with words and could write all the emotions I am feeling and help others in their lives. I think I am pretty tender and care deeply for others. I keep a constant prayer in my heart for all those dear to me.
 
 
 

The beauty is in the berry


Sibu contacted me a few weeks ago interested in having me review a product from their line. I was thrilled to say the least. I knew right away I loved the idea behind the product. I love natural healthy things when it comes to my body.

There is so much information on their products. I wanted to sit here and type it all out but I think they do a pretty good job of covering that. You should read about Sea buckthorn and Omega 7 to see what health benefits it has.

Did you go read??? YOU SHOULD :)
Basically those words mean your body will thank you for using those products. 

They claim the cleanser does the following
  • Leaves skin looking and feeling radiant and refreshed
  • Removes excess oil and impurities
  • Contains micro-particles for a gentle exfoliation
  • Great for removing make-up
  • Non-foaming gel formula for all skin types
OK soI knew I loved the idea right...Now I have to put it to the test. 

The first night I told Jayson I didn't want to stop washing my face. The smell alone was enough to make me weak at the knees. I also loved the texture. I felt exfoliated, soft, clean and healthy. Previously after washing my face with past cleansers my skin would feel tight and hard. I felt like I was always having to apply lotion. 

Yupp, I felt radiant and refreshed!
Yupp,I felt exfoliated!
Yupp, it removed my make-up! 

I wanted to type this review and hope you got how much I really think this product rocks in my own words. I thought what better way to get my point across then to actually show you my own e-mail I sent the company. 


Jud,
I just wanted to update you real quick. I received the facial cleanser and am working on the review. The only problem I am running into is describing how much I love it! I am so grateful you contacted me and I had this opportunity. I am definitely impressed.
Sending you the link shortly!

Needless to say I am still using this cleanser and plan to in the future. I hope to get a few new products from their line soon. 





Man I hope you are all pumped up about this product because guess what! Yupp, a GIVEAWAY! One of you will receive your own facial cleanser.

finger paint


 
Ty and I have been having a lot of fun making messes lately. He loves to help make dinner and getting his hands dirty. What boy doesn't? Most of the time I love his help. I think its darling. However sometimes I am in a hurry and just need to do it myself. So what could Ty do to get his hands dirty, have fun and stay out of my hair for a bit?? I wasn't sure.... So I searches through my Kid Activities pin board and found this.

She makes it so easy to follow along. There was only three ingredients and like four steps. It took maybe ten minutes to make and kept Ty busy for an hour straight. At first he didn't want to touch it but after a while he had no problem getting his hands dirty. 

What I love about this project. Honestly it is so so cheap. Really flour, salt and some food coloring. If you don't have food coloring use coolaid. 

She put the paint in squeeezy things like empty mustard or honey containers. I didn't have any on hand so I pulled out my large collection of baby food jars. They are so handy for so many things so I just hang on to them. Probably not as fun as squeezing it out of a container, but this way was easy to stick a paint brush or finger in.

If you don't have either squeezy containers or baby food jars just use small Tupperware.
Another thing I seriously love about this is you can make a big batch and after your done playing put it in the fridge. It doesn't take up much space and you can pull it out while your making dinner, showering or doing anything you would like an hour of peace for.

I noticed after it had been in the fridge a while the colors were brighter and the paint was thicker. I think Ty liked it better.


One last thing I love about this is that it is non toxic. I doubt Ty would try and eat it but if he did it is totally harmless.


Now we need to invite our cousins over and play some more. 

Hope you have fun! If you try let me know. I would love to see your post with your littles enjoying this!!

MMM healthy snack


I had so many people love the Banana Bites and request more healthy snack ideas. These are one of my all time favorite healthy snacks. I love them, Jayson loves them and Ty loves them.


Yummy Apple Snacks.


Buy any type of apple. I usually get Gala because they are yummy and much cheaper.


Cut them up. If you don't have one of these apple cutters just use a knife. It will taste the same:)


We love Nutella but you can also use peanut butter.


Spread it on.


Then sprinkle with granola. 

Easy check. Yummy check. Cheap check.
