Aloha Friday

Photobucket
It's Aloha Friday! I found this on another blog, Two of a kind, working on a full house .
So, since its FRIDAY, it is time to relax!
Answer this simple question, then go and post one of your own....
My question is:
What is something you wished you had known or been told before you became a mom?
My answer is:
WOW! Way to many things to mention, but I can tell you one..
BUY CLOTHES of ALL SIZES! I had a big baby and we had alot of newborn clothes, to big to fit in those! Luckily, other friends gave me 3-6 mo, and 6-9 mo clothes, so we were good to go!
I am going to blog about this subject in the next few days! Would love to hear some of your thoughts!
Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wish I had known how fast it would go. In the blink of an eye, they're all grown up!

    I would want to be told yes, buy a few newborn sizes (not just 0-3 months) - our little one had a HUGE outfit to wear home that first day. Ugh!

    I'd want to be told to keep writing down the things they do and say - I did when she was a baby, but haven't in so many months. Now, I am regretting it big time.

    I had such a great support system and such great advice from all of my favorite mothers. I'm pretty amazed that I can't think of anything that I wasn't told. LOL, with a mom, and aunt, and a grandmother I guess that's not too amazing.

    Definitely a good idea to have lots of different clothes sizes, although Ry fit into his nb stuff and he is 4 months (TODAY!!!) and still fits into 0-3s!

    I think that while knowledge is good, maybe it would have been better for me not to read a gajillion books on babies and parenting. I have found that no book in the world can tell me how to raise my son. I have to do what works best for me and my family.

    AND you don't need everything you think you need for your baby. Some of it has gone totally unused.

    And they spit up and poop and pee on you a lot.....at least mine does!!!!!!

    I wish someone had told me about sleep patterns. It was forever a guessing game on bed times, nap times etc.

    hi! I found you through this Aloha Friday thing - I love your question!

    I wish I would have been told about cloth diapers. I started out when Lizzie was 10 months old....imagine the money savings if I had started sooner!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
