“I wanted a perfect ending.. Now, I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.” Gilda Radner

Scentsy Buddy Review & A Giveaway

 You all know by now how much I LOVE Scentsy!

So when Misty contacted me about doing a review for a Scentsy Buddy I was thrilled. I have had my eye on these adorable aroma animals for months and my girls have begged and begged to have them for their rooms. I wasn't sure how well they would actually work being inside the buddy and all.. lets just say I am very impressed! They work extremely well!


My oldest daughters room is in the basement and always seems to have that basement smell to it, that we don't love so much!  I had a plug in Scentsy warmer to help replace the smell with the fabulous scents of Scentsy until someone bumped it and it dripped all over the new carpet, I decided having them in a childs room maybe wasn't the greatest idea. So you can imagine how excited I was to discover the Scentsy buddies to keep the room smelling good and look adorable on their beds as well without the worry of melted wax making a mess with little ones around. Isn't PENNY just adorable. I have had her out lounging in the family room to keep me company as well. Love her..and so do all the kids! They have all added Scentsy Buddies to their Christmas wish lists! 


PENNY is so cute and lovable, but best of all will help keep any room smelling
wonderful. Quick and easy and safe for children too! Unzip a pocket in the back
and add your favorite scent pak...

**Wouldn't these be the perfect teacher gift @ Christmas time?? They would go so well
in the classrooms and no one would ever know where the delicious scent was coming from!

**Great baby shower gifts, they would look adorable in any baby nursery!

**You can also use your scent pack in lockers, gym bags & cars! 


 Your child can also Register their friend on a website made fun and safe for your child. 

Here your child can give their buddy a nickname, birthday, and design and download an Adoption Certificate!

Scent Paks are available in 15 yummy scents: Berry Blush, Black Raspberry Vanilla, Camu Camu, Cucumber Lime, French Lavender, Havana Cabana, Hemingway, Mochadoodle, Perfectly Pomegranate, Pima Cotton, Satin Sheets, Sunkissed Citrus, Sweet Pea & Vanilla, Vanilla Cream, and Vanilla Suede.

****November Specials!  6 gift & 6 stocking stuffer special!! Limited number of book party sets available in November!! Take it with you to your friends & family gatherings - get the same rewards as if you had a party!

HearthSong Review & Giveaway

 When you have been searching high and low
for something fun for that next big day, 
you know the varitey of stores can be
overwhelming online when you have no idea
what you are looking for in the first place.

You do know you want something you'll
feel good about giving, right???
Why not visit Hearth Song and let them help 
you chose the gift that will fit the personality
of the recipient best! 

Their website is broke down into sections
to help you easily find something that may fit
what you have in mind, different tabs break down
for Toys & Games, Gifts by age, an outlet and more!
Those tabs take you even further to make the 
shopping a little easier to help you choose your
theme or selection you want to shop in. I love
when websites help you find what you need
without hours of searching and guessing games! 

While we were checking out the gift center we 
discovered the section for birthdays!
They not only have great gifts but also some
great products to help you celebrate the big day!

Wouldn't this mini treat maker be fun for your
pre-teen to help make her party treats, or the
be a big hit in our home! What about decorations..
The Party Is Here Garden Flag will help guests find
 would look super cute. They have games galore, 
things I have never seen or heard of like the 
Bucket Blast Game or something thats been around
or pinatas! They have so many fun styles..Monkey Piñata,
 We decided to have fun with this favorite cold treat, 

 And they are so quick and easy, just gather some
favorite treats and appropriate toys
for the age group joining the party and stuff away!
 The fun keeps on going as they begin the
challenge of making their way to the candy!
I was really impressed with the quality! It held up to 
a lot of beating..which is great when you have a lot 
of kids who want a turn, its no fun to break it on the
first or second hit! They all got a good whack at it and
did some pretty good damage before it gave way!

We also love the idea behind the Pull-Apart Cupcake Molds
and would make for a fun cake especially with some 

Another favorite of mine are
their unique, Straw Glasses so much fun and would
bring giggles to the party for sure! I want you to take a few 
minutes to browse their fun site and tell me what is 
something that stands out to you! Keep an eye out
for those great gifts you will be needing with the holidays
quickly apporaching!

“There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the merry voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter -- loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance. Bubbling spontaneously from the heart of child or man. Without egotism and full of feeling, laughter is the music of life.” Sir William Osler

PopATot Review & Giveaway

 From the time I found PopATot Online 
I have loved the idea, design and look!


I can think of so many ways it can make a Mom's
life so much easier! 

*Time for homework with the older kids? Easily set up PopATot
next to you, and you can be hands free to help get the homework
done and still keep a close eye on baby as you play!

*Mom can finally get a shower! Set up PopATot so 
baby is in plain view and let them happily play! 

 *We love to go camping, hunting and fishing! 
 How great is this, it folds up
( you all know how much room it takes to go on vacation with a baby!)
 to take up less room..leaving more room creating a happy
traveling family and a less squishy & crammed space 
to bring out the fighting and dislike of the trip!

*Great for a trip to Grandmas, Aunts or friends homes when 
they don't have an place for baby, or they just simply
are not baby proofed. Fold up and set out of the way, 
when its not needed!


* You can still attend game nights with the adults,
just bring your PopATot along.

*Great for a family picnic or letting the kids play 
at the park, this way they are not stuck in the stroller
and can see everything going on! 

*Have lots of sewing, a craft project or activity you 
have been wanting to get done? You can use PopATot in
any room of the house, think of what you can get accomplished!

*Make a meal, clean the house, put up holiday decorations
and more with baby safely out of the way! 
 The PopATot is one of those products that every new parent needs to have, 
we love the portability of it and how easy it is to set up and take down,
as well as put away, no struggling to get it into the sleeve!

Perfect gift for your Grandchildren..buy one for them and one
to keep at your house, great for Baby Shower Gifts and just
because! They will love it, and you will too!

Today I ate a Rainbow Review & Giveaway

View TIAAR Clo...jpg in slide show
 Today I Ate A Rainbow kit contains an interactive chart
that encourages kids (and their parents) to eat a rainbow of
fruits and vegetables everyday. The Rainbow Bunch,
book teaches young children why it's important to
  eat a rainbow! Today I Ate A Rainbow provides parents
with tools to help set healthy eating habits!

It was alot of fun for "H" to see the types of food
she was eating throughout the day by colors and 
helped me to remember to add a few more fruits to 
her meals. I make sure my children get a great 
variety of fruits and vegetables..but have they 
been getting their daily needs?

We decided to take pictures of each meal this day
and see how we were doing...
Breakfast: She is a very slow and picky eater. 
Today she had some bananas, apples, juice
and a granola bar to take on the way to the bus.
Lunch: she loves sliced tomatoes.. then
we added green beans and grapes 
to go with her chicken
We forgot to take pictures of her
after school snack: She had a glass of
Milk, some multi-grain goldfish and a sliced kiwi!

Dinner: Roast, mash potatoes, peaches, 
plum and a noodle salad that has broccoli 
and cauliflower in it...and a glass of milk!
It was fun and exciting for her to put a new
magnet on the chart each time she ate a new
fruit, we also used the shopping list to add
a new variety of foods we needed to have on hand. 
At the end of the day, she was full of smiles as 
she was able to add her "Today I ate a Rainbow"
magnet to the chart.
All the kids have loved this chart. 
The only thing I think that would be perfect
for this chart is to have it laminated.
With kids it can get wore down in a hurry 
especially on the front of the fridge!

Its been a great teaching tool for my
children and they love to see if I have done
my job each time I put a meal on the table. 
I have never seen so much excitement about
eating their fruits & veggies. They all love them
which I am blessed they do, I know many kids
don't, but its great to make sure we are eating
the variety needed!
