Mummy Knows Reviews

I have been thinking long and hard about homeschooling. I, for one hated school as a kid. It seemed like I was always behind, and once I got what we were doing we moved on to the next thing. My husband on the other had was both homeschool and sent to public school. Needless to say he hated public school and got his GED at 16. With the way school (not all but most) are now, it feels like they teach to a test and that’s it. I know it is not the teacher’s fault they have to. And I have heard many of time the whole; oh your child with be anti-social, they will not know how to deal with everyday problems and peers. Well let me tell you something on that. My kids are very active in our church. We have 3 hour church every week, 2 hours of it he is in with kids his age. Then once a week there is a activity days for them, then there will be boys scouts and whatever sport or activity he wants to go to. So I am not worried about him not being “social” . There are two things I am worried ab...

It seams like you can never win. If you are over weight people say your fat. If your over weight and try to work out people tell you to love the body you have. If your are thin then your skinny. If your then and want to work out people say your over doing it..... It feels like you can never win. Well I have decided that I just want to be happy in the skin I am in. I really only want to eat right and be able to keep up with my kids. So I have been keeping track of what I eat, I have cut out all sodas! Man was that the hard part, I love soda!  But its been a week! Then I have been starting to do small workouts. Most of the time I will do at home videos or I find them on yourtube. The main point is to just get up and start moving. I have lost about 5 lbs over the corse of a month. Sure I could have lost more but I got lazy every now and then. I do believe you should be happy in the skin your in but if your not then only you can change that. Make simple changes at first. Stop drink...

Hey readers I wanted to share this email I got. I hope you all enter to win it: In 2010, approximately 99,467 cycles of in-vitro fertilization were performed in the United States alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Research suggests that  trying-to-conceive couples are too often encouraged to pursue invasive infertility treatments  before more natural approaches, including preconception fertility education and dietary supplementation, are exhausted. The founders of National Infertility Awareness Week recognized this lack of infertility education in 1989 when they launched the movement. Each year, National Infertility Awareness Week encourages people to understand their reproductive health.  Fairhaven Health , a manufacturer of natural fertility products, proudly supports National Infertility Awareness Week, and encourages couples to take charge of their fertility. This year’s theme is all about fertility education – “Resolve to kno...

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Earth day is coming up on April 22nd. My daughters class has been talking about the environment and how we should reduce, reuse, and recycle. One of the ways we reduce the amount of plastic used in our house is by using snack containers for snacks instead of Ziploc bags. I was pleased to have the chance to review MIRA Stainless steel containers . I ended up with 2 of the 5 oz size plus 2 extra lids. 2 5oz containers plus 2 extra lids. Containers stack nicely on top of each other inside view of containers. The containers come with your choice of pink, blue, teal, and emerald lids. The 5 oz containers are perfect for storing snacks in. So far I've packed Strawberries, pizza rolls, and cereal in this container. Then sent them in with my son's school lunches. The pizza rolls stayed warm for a little while because this container is made out of stainless steel. You could easily use this container to take fruit...

Teaching Children to Love Reading I have two children and my oldest is a girl. She is actually seven years older than her brother so she was virtually like an only child for those years. When she was still in my womb I was reading to her. I read anything and everything out loud, we talked, we prayed, we sang, and I even tried to discipline her while she was in there. When she was turned a certain way and giving me one her famous stretches that pressed a bit too hard on my bladder or side I would give her a little tap and tell her to stop, and she did! We went on like that after she was born. She loved to listen to the written word; all she ever needed to keep her attention was someone reading to her. My grandma used to read to her out of the dictionary sometimes and she would get really quiet and listen. She read her the Word of God as well. She was a great listener.

Its summer time.... wait spring? I can't tell here in Arizona where its 98! Feels like summer to me, and one thing I have found it great in the summer time.... beach hair! You know the I just put out of the water and let my hair sun dry and now its curly and cute. Yeah me ether becaue my hair does not do that. Well that it without the right kind of hair spray. If you remember a while back I got some IT Hair Care stuff and I Love Love LOVED! Well they also have this great surf spray . It is meant to help give you that beach wave look in your hair. it looks like water but on like hair spray but without the sticky ness that hair spray can leave.

It also has a no cruch formula, so you can touch your hair without that I just put a ton of product fell in it. I can tell just by us...

This came with a heavy heart. We had just bought our first house, my in laws had moved to CO a year ago and we whould be leaving them all behind. But deep down we knew it was the right thing for us to move. Well with that being said we have now moved, we are in a tempory home and doing our best to find a good rental we can move into. I am greatful to my parents for letting me and the kiddors (and hubby) to live with them while we go through this move.

Now don't get me wrong I want you all to come and read and learn but I need to do this blog for me, and for the reasons why I started it in the first pla...
