Aloha Friday #11


From Island Life:

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!


My question is:

Do you use family names?

My son is named after my grandmother...

And my brother is a combination of my uncles...

His name is Ashton and he is named after my Uncle ASHley and Uncle TONy.

Aloha~

    Yes We do use Family Names, and all three of our boys names are connected to one another.

    Seamus Joseph Gerard
    Jacob Antohny Scott

    They all have a varriation of James in their names..

    LOVE how you combined the family names to make one that's even NICER!

    Our three children's names feature OLD family names, from 8-10 generations back: Abigail, Jonathan, and Nathaniel. Just love the old-fashioned names!

    Initially my son's middle name was going to be after my hubby, dad, and his dad. But then my grandfather died right before he was born, so now he has two middle names...we added my grandpa's middle name. My daughter's middle name is mine.

    Not really.

    I find names that I think are strong and that I like.

    I didn't want to start a tradition of naming my children after anyone, because I didn't want jealousy to reign.

    However I did pass on my middle name.

    Our children's middle names are family names.

    Other than our son who passed away, no, we used our own names that we liked for our kids. Our other son was named after his father.

    My ex and I used family names for the boys middle names, but I picked strong names for their first names:
    Nikolaus William (dad's middle name is William, but also turned out to be my second husbands first name - haha)
    Alexander Alfred (Alfred is my ex FIL's name who passed away at 56 yrs, old right before I got pregnant with him)

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... ...
