Take the time...

Yesterday, my heart broke.
My cousins little 2 year old baby boy accidentally shot killed himself.
I am not sure all of the details, but the gun had a safety on and all of that...
That is not the point.

I am posting this to ask all of you, my bloggy friends to please keep my family in your prayers.
I know that this is so hard on them...
Obviously our family is devastated. I mean, how do you cope with losing a child? Much less, a little sweet 2 year old baby? I know that we turn to GOD for support in this, but I know that right now, there are no words that can help console them... We can offer love and support and prayers...
Prayer is what we need. My cousin is just a baby herself. She is 21 and now has to try and cope with this? She also has a 6 month old at home...
Please, pray for us.
We are heading back over to the family house in just a little while. But, knowing the power of prayer, I am asking, please...
Pray, for all of us...
Our hearts are broken.

Also, please... Hug your babies ( No matter how old they are) just a little bit longer today...
Hold them, tight...
Last night, I had Broxton snuggle up with me...
I can not tell you how lucky I was to be able to hold and squeeze him to me..
So, please... I ask... Take the time to love them...
If they are not near, please call or something...
This just breaks my heart.

Thank you all...
I know I have wonderful bloggy friends and that is why I am asking you for prayers and support...

    Oh no!
    I cannot even begin to imagine their grief. Prayer is what will help them through this process as it is hard to even know where to begin with support.

    I'm very sorry.

    Oh Noelle,
    I know this is getting to your family late, but know that my heart stopped when I read this. Please know that I am praying for you and your family as I know that you are all still trying to come to terms with this tragic loss. There are no words to take away the pain, only time will make it lessen. I am here for you always.
    Hugs & Prayers... Lorie

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...
