Ok I know this one is late but I had a hard time pumping this last week. But for the lucky winner who is wounder what a Yoomi is, I am about to tell you what your new favorite bottle on the go is. First I have to ask, how many times have you gone out with a bottle just to ask someone for hot water? Logan hates HATES to have his milk cold or at room temperature. So when ever we go out, I have to think of how to warm up his bottle while we are out. Do I warm the milk up first, or when we get where we are going? Ever have that problem? I know some of you might be thinking, "no because I just breastfeed" But what about when your on a date without them?

Well the school year is almost over. What are you going to do with your kids too keep them busy? What about what they learned in school? Are you worried that they are going to do a brain dump once they get home? I know I had a hard time going back to school after 3ish months off. While my kids are still a little young we have been working hard with Aiden on teaching him his colors, numbers, and shapes. So when   Summer Bridge Activities offered me a booklet that is full of games and activities for kids as young as PreK I had to jump on it.

There is a ton of baby food out there now a days. And we all know I am a big fan of things that are easy to use, easy to make and healthy for my kids. But I have never heard of Nurturme me before. Nurturme is baby food that is quick-dried fruits and veggies. This is great for any babies (4 months) to a toddler (4 years). It is simple and easy to make. Just get a bowl (or a baby food jar) add breast milk, whole milk, formula or water. Mix and your done! And because the packets are so small they are easy to take with you on the go.

I love my iPad and so do my kids. So I was happy when I found Domeo . They offer different iPad cases to suit your needs. Choices include a loft folio, grip folio, tri-lounge lap desk, etc. They even have cases designed to fit a mini iPad. I decided that the Tri-Lounge Lap Desk was the one I'd like to try out. I wanted to try this case because I'm always using my iPad while laying down in bed or laying on the couch. I use my iPad to watch movies, t.v. shows, etc.  Plus my kids are constantly laying down with my iPad to watch their shows or play their apps.

In 1993 I was doing a school project. At the time I was about 8 years old and I thought I was making the coolest plate in the world! Now that I am an adult i can see I was not meant to be an artiest! However my mom loved it and kept it all these years. I never knew who they where or what company did this. I just remember having a blast making my very own plate.

 I am so excited to talk to you guys about another great sponsor for my Mother's day event! Have you ever heard of a company called Blue Steel ? Yes, no? Well you need too, they have some truly beautiful jewelry there. And with Mother's day coming up I thought this would be a great giveaway for all you moms out there. Lets face it we all want to look and feel beautiful every day. So we try to wear nice things, put on make up, but nothing make me feel more beautiful then when I wear some really nice necklaces or rings. I know it should be spring time right now, but really it going to be snowing here for two more days. And I am a sucker for snowflakes. So I was really excited to find out that Blue Steel sell a gorgeous snowflake pendent .

I love taking pictures every month to see and show off how much my little ones grow. I had belly sickers when I was pregnant now I have them for every month older Logan is. Logan just turned 4 months yesterday and I still ask myself how this 25inc long and 18 lb baby fit into my belly at one point Going back and looking at his new born pictures, it just amazes me how much and how fast they grow. So the best way that I take pictures and make sure I remember how old he was at the time, I use belly stickers. I love  Baby Smiles  because they have sticker not just for the babies month, but also belly stickers for mom.

Hey moms, have you been trying to conceive with no luck? Its a hard time, you feel like you have been doing everything you can. Or you feel like there is more you could be doing. How about trying out the TTC kit , for FREE!

Now that Logan is starting to eat baby foods (ask your pediatrician if it is before 6 months) we really do want to feed him only the best. Also if you are not sure if your little one is ready don't worry Happy Family has some good guides for you. Just check out their starting solids page.  While some days I make is own baby food, there are others where I feel lazy. When I do feed him baby food from a "jar" I want to make sure that he is getting the best that he can have. Which is why I love Happy Family baby food. They are organic, so I know Logan is only getting the best.

I never have time to do my nails. With two little ones I just KNOW it will get smudged before its dry. That and it will start chipping and then it looks weird, but I still like looking and feeling girly. So I needed to find something else. I had seen at store the nail polish strips but was never sure if it would work. I always wanted to try it, and now I got the change. OMG Nail Strips send me two different strips so see how I like it. As you can see from this picture I don't have the best long nails out there.

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate waking up in the middle of the night to change a diaper. Not because I have to wake up and change it but because getting to the diaper is a chore of its own. I think some evil person thought about how they can drive parents everywhere crazy by adding a ton of snaps  Getting them off is easy but its putting it back on that is the tricky part. Most of the time I miss one and then have to start over. So unless I have him in just a onies with no legs I hate changing diapering in the middle of the night. There has to be an easier way.... well there is. It's called  Zipaboo!

As the weather is starting to warm up, my kids have been wanting to enjoy the weather outside. So we have spent many days outside riding their balance bikes. If you are unfamiliar with balance bikes check out my Educational post or Kazam balance bike review.  This time around I'm happy to share my thoughts on my son's Strider Balance bike . These bikes are perfect for outdoor play. Jerom happy to ride his bike. (Sorry for the bad picture quality he wouldn't hold still.)

Keeping Your Active Kids Happy on Rainy Days There are some children who are completely satisfied to be inside on a rainy day just reading or playing quietly. Then there are the children whose energy seems to make the entire house pulsate and groan with the words “rain, rain, go away, come again on another day”! I have one of these children and it has been challenging to say the least keeping them entertained on days when going out of doors was impossible. When I say impossible, I mean stormy days. Because if it is just nicely raining we have all the rain gear ready and I do let them play in the rain and have even joined them on occasion. I think playing in the rain is great fun as long as it is not torrential. On torrential days we have to get creative. We have done all kinds of things to keep our children happy, one child in particular. It seems that this particular child gets bored with conventional toys when they get forced into inside play so we have had to come up with ...

A flash back of my brides maids and I almost 6 years ago

Most people believe that you need to start your kids off on white rice. But did you know that for the most part it is great better if you start your kids on the veggies and fruits. You can learn about the "White Out"  campaign by clicking the link. We also want to make sure we don't give them processed food, give them the good real stuff. And what better way to do that then to make their own food from the start. The NUK Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Good Maker  cooks, steams, purees and thaws baby food.

Why You Need to Create a Birth Plan Creating a birth plan is becoming a more popular option for many women. Once unheard of, birth plans are now common. A birth plan is a formal document that you create letting your obstetrician or midwife know what kind of birth experience you would like to have. Birth plans can include information such as whether or not you want to receive pain medication, whether you want your husband to cut the umbilical cord, whether or not you plan to breastfeed and want immediate skin-to-skin contact with the baby, and much more.

Yes I am talking about sorting laundry. You might think that everyone know how to do this so why should I be talking about it. Well here is why, I (a 26 year old) did/does not know how to. That's right when we where kids my parents did most of the laundry. As we got older she told us to sort the colors out. You know: white's, dark's, red's, colors, white's, jean's, and Sunday cloths. As I got older and started to do my own laundry I just tossed them together, why not they are all going get get cleaned the same way, and then you save on water too. Well I did not know they needed to be washed in different water temps too!

Yes you heard me right GLITTER!!! Now I really wish I had a girl so I can glitterfy all of her cloths! Purex Glitter still contains 100% natural glitter formula, with no additives or harmful chemicals. I just got mine in today and will be washing on of my favorite black pants with it. Will look great for going out dancing. I bet your are starting to worry about the glitter in your washer, don't worry Purex Glitter says it will just flush out what did not go one your cloths in the spin cycle.
