Small Talk Six on Saturdays





As I was checking out all of the blogs I follow, I came across this pretty fun meme from suzy q homemaker.
With so much going on in my life, this was a great one to do!


Today’s topic is “6 things you’ll miss (or won’t miss) about summer.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc
The 6 things I will miss about summer:
1. My husband - With him being in Afghanistan, it really stinks. Although he was training alot, he was still in the states... Then, we got to spend a little time with him before he headed over there... So, yes! I miss him the most.
2. The first couple months of my sweet bundle of joys life - I have to say, being a mommy is wonderful! I sit and wonder how in the world did I get so lucky to have such a great husband and such a sweet baby? Granted, I love watching him grow up and it is amazing how much he changes from day to day, but in the beginning when he just played and slept... I miss him being so little!
3. My kid brother - Although he isn't a "kid" anymore, he will ALWAYS be my little brother. He now has his own apartment and I guess is such a social butterfly that he has NO TIME AT ALL for his big sister...
4. My twenties - Ha! Ha! Yep, I am now the big 30! It really doesn't bother me... because no matter what, I am always younger than my hubby! It just seems so much more "grown up" now; Married, Baby, 30.
5. The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass - yes, I know you still cut your grass when it isn't summer time, but the smell of it seems better in the summer!
6. The excitement of the boys in preparation for summer camp - They all got to go to Operation Purple Camp this year. It is a Week long summer camp just for children of the military. They were SO EXCITED about going... I'm not going to lie, I never went to summer camp, so I think I was just as excited as they were!
Well, I hope you will add a few to what you will miss about summer!

    I'm sorry your hubby is overseas. That's tough! Like you, I'm missing the newborn days with my little guy! Where did they go?!

    I hope your hubby isn't overseas for too long!

    I'm definitely not ready for summer to be over this year!

    1. Def my little one being little. It flies by!
    2. Summer vacations!
    3. The heat. Oh wait. I live in Fl, it will be just as hot in December, ha!
    4. My birthday. Yah,I know, weird, but next year I turn 30!
    5. All the visitors we had. Our family came from all over to see the little man.
    6. Yah, can't think of a 6th, but I think again, it's b/c we live in the Sunshine State where summer NEVER ends! I exaggerate a bit. :)

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...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
