Amber Necklace Giveaway

Image
I'm sure by now you have seen or heard of amber necklaces for teething. But did you know they are good for more then just teething? I wear an amber necklace to help with my headaches. I have battled chronic migraines for years. Finally it hit me, I use amber to help my son with his teething pain why not use it for myself. Amber is a natural analgesic that can help with pain and inflammation. How does this work? Succinic acid is released from the amber when warmed up by your body. Amber is said to help with joint pain and strengthening the body's immune system. Baltic Essentials  offers many choices of amber necklaces. Both for mom baby! Anklets too! Check out their amazon store for all the color and style choices. Or http://www.balticamber.me and use the coupon code:  25Percent for 25% off  The necklaces are high quality certified amber. With a twist on closure and a knot between each bead for safety.

2-in-1 Nursing Cover and Carseat Canopy #momslab

Image
I hate having to carry everything in my diaper bag. It gets heavy after awhile. You have diapers and wipes and spit rags and bottles and cloths and the list can go on and on. So I hate having to carry a nursing cover too. Ok some of you might say, well then just not cover your baby when you feed him. But I am not comfortable doing that so I need a nursing cover. Oh and then during the winter time I love to have a car seat cover to help keep the cold and snow out.... Ok fine I don't live where there is snow right now but I will be in a few months. So there is yet another thing I need to think about bring. There have been a few times where I have even used my car seat cover as my nursing cover. But  Moms Lab  already got me covered there.

Teethy Fruits baby teethers

Image
My son is now 8 months and has 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 on the top! Needless to say he is been cranky on and off. We have found that he love to chew on things. Ok that might sound like a duh but my other too like to suck on wet wash cloths and not have teethers. So Noah is a little different then them. We got him a grape teether for a store and its great, we got it for $8 or $9. But I found a company that sells it in a two pack for $10! Bank I wanted that. This way if he loses one.... which I know he will do I have the other one still.

You are Amazingly Beautiful thanks to Trusted Health Products

Image
I feel really bad about this review. Not because I did not like the product I do like it. But I got it in a few days before I left to go to Disneyland and now I can't find it! We where packing and I said don't forget you put it here, I left, came back and I can't of where I put it. So let me tell you what I thought of if while using it. This is  Amazingly Beautiful  and it is a line of oil base moisturizer and revitalize. The set is worth $50 and it will do wonders on your skin.  When I first got the box in, I was kinda stupid.... it had my name on... Amazingly Beautiful Katie. And I was like.... awww that's cute and funny that they have a line that just happens to have my name on it. Well the thing is it was for me, and it will be for you too. They want you to know that you (Megan, Laura, Sarah etc) are Amazingly Beautiful!

Teething Necklace and Bracelet

When you have a baby you quickly learn that things like jewelry have to go. My son would rip and pull at anything I wore, or he would try to put it in his mouth. So now I save my good jewelry for baby free time and have jewelry that is safe for baby. With this teething jewelry set by  Pacify Mama .

Formula for Happiness #formulaforhappiness #GerberGoodStart

Image
This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Gerber® and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I became a mom back in November 2010! Wow what a crazy scary time. He is about to turn 5, and to think we added 2 more boys to that. I remember being lost and overwhelmed with so much. I was tired all the time. My husband was scared to really do anything with Aiden. Not that he did not love him but more he was unsure what to do with a small baby. We needed a Formula for Happiness.

iPhone 6 Battery Case

Image
I love my iPhone, but I hate how quick the battery dies. I have used portable battery chargers but hate that I have an extra thing to hold onto and a cord in the way. Not to mention that you have to remember to bring it along, and it takes up extra room in your bag. The solution to this problem is the Fovii iPhone Batter Case . This cool case is your back up batter! No forgetting it at home, nothing extra to hold on to , no cords. The unit is charged by a micro usb cord and your phone is securely held inside. When you need power it is a simple push of a button. The unit lights up so you can see how much power it has left. This allows you to know when you need to charge your back up! Never be stuck with a dead phone or low batter again.

Spider pizza, #DIY #halloween

Image
We did something like this a year ago and Aiden loved it so we had to do it again. This time we got premade pizza crust, pizza sauce, black olives and pizza cheese. It really was not that hard. I let Aiden put the sauce on. Then I tired to do a web with the cheese. It would have been better if you/I used string cheese but I wanted cheese everywhere. Then you cut the olives in half for the spiders body. And for the legs I just cut 3-4 slices from the half for the legs! Then pop that sucker in the oven for 10 minutes and your done!

What is on the menu for dinner tonight? We had grilled chicken. I just love cooking on the grill in the fall. The weather has cooled down so it's great to be outside and it means less clean up in the kitchen.

breakfast ghosts Halloween DIY

Image
Its October and I have been trying to work on doing Halloween projects with my kids. So I saw this one on pinterest and it came out kinda fail for me. All you do is use pancake mix. Follow what it says to make it. Then you put it in the pan and add a little "leg" here and there. This gives it the look of a ghost. Then you add some chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth. Then you should be able to flip it when ready. However that is when I realized they chocolate was melting and left a hole where his eyes and mouth should be. Here is how mine turned out. Kids did not seam to care they liked it anyhow. This is a simple easy breakfast that kids will love to eat.

Cherry Chocolate Almond Nutrition Bar

Image
Well I have mixed feelings about this one. The  Cherry Chocolate Almond Nutrition Bar . This is only because I don't care for cherry. However my son liked it. This was a great treat for him after school.   I tried it and I don't care for it. But again that is because I don't like cherries. However I did taste it, and it did have a hint of almonds but it tasted more like chocolate and cherries.

PREGNANCY: ALL ESSENTIAL DO'S AND DON'TS OF MATERNITY FASHION

PREGNANCY: ALL ESSENTIAL DO'S AND DON'TS OF MATERNITY FASHION Being pregnant is definitely one of the most beautiful times of every woman’s life. And in fact, this is the time then you can start shopping for all the stuff you were dreaming for a long time! Especially all those cute maternity dresses and other clothing that will embrace your pregnant glow even more. But there are some do’s and some little don’ts you should remember while shopping. It will let you feel amazing and beautiful and make that mystical glow be glowing even more! Enjoy! Don’ts One of the mistakes many pregnant women tend to do is to avoid maternity clothing. There is that weird common misconception that you can continue to wear regular clothes during pregnancy. All you need to do is to just size-up as the bump grows. But that is just not right!  Maternity clothes are cut proportionately for the growing bump and that will let you embrace all the right features perfectly. Another important do
