Aloha Friday #6






I love Fridays....
I think I like them so much because of Aloha Fridays.
You know, Kailani over at Island Life does this...
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take easy. That and of course, get ready for the weekend! So, she has you post a question... and answer hers.
Very simple...
So...
Here is mine:

How did you come up with your blog name?

My answer:
Broxton likes to jump. We have an exersaucer for him. He jumps in it... to the point now that he moves it across the room by jumping! :) but the name... he jumps when someone tries to hold him in their lap. he jumps in the exersaucer... everywhere... HE JUMPS!
He is OUR JUMPIN BEAN!
So, that is where it came from..
Go ahead, answer mine, go visit Kailani at Island Life and answer hers, post your own...
Then, RELAX! It is FRIDAY!

    Cute!! I love to learn how people come up with their blog names. Mine is Chocolate Fingerprints. When my husband and I got married, our son was two years old, and I specifically bought a pretty casual wedding dress, so I could wear it again. My son snuck a bunch of Andes Mints at the reception, and I ended up with little chocolate fingerprints all over the collar of my dress. I never wore the dress again, because I didn't have the heart to dry clean those fingerprints off. I like to think of the sweet little moments I have each day with my kids as them leaving their little chocolate fingerprints on my heart...so Chocolate Fingerprints it is! :D

    My first blog was because I thought it was too good to be;to be able to write on the web and have people come by to read. so the be became BEE for the buzzing around the blogs. I later changed it to At Home with Auntie E because Critter was coming other a lot and he love Being Busy like a bee at my house.

    TheAngelForever is a name that I came up with in college. My best friend at the time was known as the Gremlin and I joked I would always be the angel of the duo. I met my hubby using that name and it has stuck.

    That's cute! No reason for my blog name really. Just about my family and our life. :)

    Oh, I love the jumping babies!! They have so much fun in those exersaucers, don't they?
    My blog name (Ladybug Soup) comes from an icky story, LOL. Let's just say there really was a ladybug in my soup! Ever since I have really disliked them, but all of my old friends thought it was funny so they'd give me gifts with ladybugs on them. I was trying to come up with something unique to me, and that's what came to mind. Thinking back, I would have named it something different. But I guess it's original :)

    My nickname was Smellyann, given by my sister... I had an old blog on MySpace but discontinued it in search of a "real" blog server, so that's why I put "Strikes Again." I kind of hate it though, lol

    Well, my last name is Seery, people know us as the Seeryus Family. It's a joke because we aren't serious, but very fun loving peeps. So, when I started my blog, Seeryus Mama just fit!

    When my now 17 year old nephew was a toddler, he used to call me drahdrah because he couldn't pronounce my name... hence I came up with Drahdrah's Place.

    I love reading and my favorite place in the world to be is at the beach, so I decided to name my blog Reading At The Beach.

    That was a tough one. I'm all about branding, so I needed something different. I made up a new word. Momspective. :)

    I made my name up when I had no idea where my blog was going. It was just my own thoughts from a jumbled, silly perspective. Now I'm stuck with it, LOL

    I have always used my name. I am a Christian author, Bible teacher and speaker. I write studies for MOMS in particular and I wanted the MOMS that I teach to be able to find me easily. I have churches that use my Bible studies and the accompanying DVDS, so I wanted them to be able to connect with me online. I write to encourage MOMS in the fine art of Christian parenting, so that I why I use my own name. But I do enjoy the creativity that others have used to creative "alternative identities" on their blogs.

    I am no not a morning person but children do tend to want MOMMA to get up and play!Blessings.

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...
