Mummy Knows Reviews

This is a cute iron on pregnant skeleton I found from  inspire your walls . This is a cute etsy store that specializes in wall art. But because last time I was pregnant I did a pumpkin belly I wanted to do something different. I just love this idea!

That's right, Finding Nemo is coming back to the big screen but in 3D this time! September 14, 2012 is just around the corner so make sure you save the date! 

So I found this on pinterest and I love the blogger that did it. Its a great way to show kids that Halloween does not always have to be scary. It can be fun and cute too. If you want to know more about how she did this then just click  HERE

My daughter needed a way to store her pencils and stuff at school. I wanted to find something that would be personalized and cute for her. Something with her name so that she would know which item was hers. I was happy to find Ginny Marie Creations . She sells coffee mugs, water bottles, tumblers, pencil pouches, clip boards, etc. Ginny Marie Creations sent me a pencil bag to review. I choose to get an orange bag. I was also able to choose which style font I wanted and what color of font I wanted. I choose orange again because that is my daughters favorite color. Orange bag with Emarose and Butterflies When my daughter received this bag she had to get out her school stuff right away. She couldn't wait to put stuff in it. She had been using a pencil box, but she emptied that to use this pencil bag. She is way excited about it. She even said her teacher will be surprised that she has a pencil bag. Bag with stuff in it. The bag looks cute and the butterflies add a nice tou...

 Emarose is just starting kindergarten. She loves books but doesn't yet know how to read. I found a company called Reading Kingdom . Reading kingdom is a fun online program that teaches 4-10 year olds how to read and write to a third grade level.

I love to find companies that allows my children to learn while having fun. Brain Quest is a company that sells educational products that challenge kids on the stuff they need to know when they need to know it. I was sent a kindergarten pack to use with my daughter. This pack includes 2 decks of cards with 300 questions and answers.

As a mom, I wish I was more organized. I hate how everything seems to get put wherever is convenient at the moment. This leads to piles of papers, kids toys, and other stuff lying around. Not only does it make everything look messy, but it also makes it hard to find the items I need. Thankfully Ami from thirty one helped me get a little more organized. Ami has been working with 31 for 2 years and is currently a director. She does home parties where hostess can earn free products. She also does online catalog parties, fundraiser's, and vendor events. Another perk is that you don't have to be in the same state as Ami to be a hostess. Grab your girlfriends and host a 31 party for your chance to get some awesome products at a fraction of their cost. I was sent an All in One Organizer in Black Parisian Pop.  This bag measures approx: 8”H x 12”W x 6.5”D. All in One Orginazer filled with school supplies- notebooks, folders, etc

I love finding products that I can reuse for lunches. I found Eco Ditty . This company was started because their daughter was allergic to pvc plastic. They wanted to rid their home environment of toxins and discovered that storage and transport of food would be a problem. They developed Eco Ditty which is for kids of all ages. I was sent a snack ditty in fields of pink . This bag measures 6 x 4 inches and is perfect for a variety of snacks. It can accommodate trail mixes, fruit slices, and all your food items.

How do you make lunches special for your kids? Say please has notes that you can use to make lunches extra special for your kids, spouse, etc. I was sent Lunchbox Love for Kids, Vols. 33-40 set .  The set includes 8 volumes of cards. Card Set

Look out the zombies are coming! Quick save your house, plant some sun flowers and peashooters and get the zombies! Plants vs. Zombies! I just love this game from Big Fish Games , its simple yet hard. It starts you off real easy so you can learn how to play. You also start off with just one row that the zombies comes down. You need to plant sunflowers, they are money souse. They will give you sun which you can use to buy peashooters and other plants to stop the zombies from coming.

Do you have a child going to school? I've found a product that allows your child to decorate their backpack straps. Gutzy Gear is a new way to accessorize with cool looking removable patches. Straps and some of the Gutzy Patches

How your baby's growing: 24 weeks Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (about the size of a ear of CORN), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

As you all know my now my daughter just started Kindergarten. She brings her lunch to school everyday so I needed to find a lunch box for my daughters lunches. Thankfully I found Laptop Lunches. Laptop lunches sells bento boxes, carriers, drink bottles, lunch jars, ice packs, napkins, and more. I chose to get the Bento Lunch Box Purple Party . Closed lunch box

With my daughter starting kindergarten this year I was on a mission to find quality lunch boxes . I came across Reuseit.com. This is a wonderful shop that sells a wide variety of reusable items from bags, bottle, lunch, household items and beyond. I choose to review the Laptop Lunch Dual Compartment Bento Tote . Since my daughter already owned a Bento Lunch box, I knew this would be the perfect compainion. Plum Blossom Bag

I received an ipad a few months ago as a present. It is used on a daily basis. I take it along with me to church and sometimes other places. I wanted to find a case to protect it. I found a wonderful company called Boxwave . Boxwave has products for your ipad, smartphones, tablets, ereaders, cameras, etc. They sell quite the variety of products at an affordable price. I love the customer service that this company offers. I wasn't sure which case I wanted to get. They asked me some questions regarding my iPad usage and how I'd be using the case. Then they offered me some selections. They also were quick to answer any questions that I had. I chose the Smart ComfortView iPad 3 case. I received it in black, but it also comes in brown or white.  

Emarose started Kindergarten on Aug. 8th. I wanted to find her a nice water bottle for school. I looked and I found Outdoors R Us. I was pleased to find that they offered a variety of kids thermos bottles and food containers. They also sell drinking bottles, water bottles, and coffee mugs/tumblers. I tried to have my daughter help me pick out the Thermos she got. They have Princesses, Mickey, Cars, Hello Kitty, Etc. My daughter had a hard time deciding. We ended up choosing the Tinkerbell thermos. Tinkerbell thermos bottle

A few weeks ago my in-laws bought my daughter a new bed. They bought her a twin bed that has drawers underneath and even a spot where she can hide. She loves it. However, we didn't have any twin bedding. So off I searched. I found Brylane Home . Brylane Home has a wide assortment of products including stuff for the kitchen, bath, bedding, outdoors, storage, furniture, etc. I choose to get my daughter the Ashley 10 piece comforter set . Butterfly Bedding

My daughter started Kindergarten this year. I have a picky eater so school starting meant I'd be sending in school lunches. I wanted to find products I could use and reuse. I also wanted to get away from using a ton of plastic baggies. I found Snack Taxi. Bite Me Snack Bag

I'm a mom of 2 kids and a preschool teacher. I value education and I am constantly looking for ways to incorporate learning into my kid's daily routine. I found a wonderful company called Teach My Teach My is a company that realizes that parents are important teachers in a child's life. When  the founder, Christy, couldn't find kits that had all the tools she needed to teach her child she decided to create one. Teach my has 3 different all in one kits including: Teach My Baby 6-18 months, Teach My Toddler 18 months-3 years, and Teach My Preschooler 3 years-6 years. You can also buy parts of the kits separately or a kit on the Solar System. They have both a USA and Canada version too which is perfect for those slight differences.  Toddler Kit in Storage Case

Ok so I got the chance to review Neuma shampoo and conditioner, and after the first day I was in love. I love the smell of it, it smells like a candy cane (so great for Christmas presents). But it also left your scalp feeling like it had never been cleaned before.

See the bigger picture . How your baby's growing: 23 weeks Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound ( about as much as a large mango ), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

So Ryan was in the military for 10 years, and because of this for the last 5 year we have been "blessed" with health care. The reason why I say "blessed" is because nothing has ever been done to help us. Here is a little back dated info as to why I feel like venting today. So I have hashimoto's thyroiditis disease (its where you have both hypo- and hyper-thyroidism) and it took me 4 years to get it diagnosed. Not because its rare or its hard to find but because every time I went to a military dr (which is all you can do when you have military insurance) they thought that they could handle it instead of sending me to an endocrinologist. Unlike a PCM (normal every day dr) an endocrinologist works just with your endocrin ie your thyroid. 5 years later I am still not getting the help I need.

See the bigger picture . How your baby's growing: 22 weeks At 11 inches ( the length of a spaghetti squash ) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment.  If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily .

I found  Childup  which offers early learning game cards, early learning apps and more. I received a set of early learning math game cards which includes game #1 (1-10) and game #2 (1-20) to use with my kids. Jerom using Childup cards

My daughter and son both love foods that they can squeeze. They call them "Squeezies". However I can't afford to always buy them. She also loves the tubes of yogurt but those can get expensive and can have ingredients I don't want. I was super excited when I found SqueeZurts . Squeeze bottle and 3 SqueeZurts tubes

My daughter loves to look pretty. I wanted something that I could use in her hair that wouldn't hurt her and would be easy to get out. I found Hair Thingz. I was sent the Sunburst pack to try. It includes 3 of each color. The colors in the sunburst pack include orange, red, yellow, and white. Back view of my daughter wearing Hair Thingz in a Candy Cane Style
