Just a little thought...

Have you ever noticed that sometimes time goes really really fast, yet other times it goes so slow it seems like forever?
I know to me, it seems like just yesterday that Broxton was born and he turned ONE last month!
But, at the same time... It seems like a million years since Marc was home... and he left for Afghanistan in June.
It is just so weird to me.
I sit here and think of how much my life has changed in the past year.
I mean, before Broxton, I worked in a bar... I worked mostly nights, so I went in at 4:45 and stayed till midnight or later...
Now, I am a mommy! I love this, it is just wonderful and as I sit and watch Broxton, I ask myself how I ever had fun before him. I mean, I can not imagine my life without him in it!
Sometimes, we sit and do nothing but just laugh and laugh and it cracks me up how the little things make him laugh! I was shaking a plastic bag the other day (to put trash in it) and he just thought I was doing the FUNNIEST thing!
He really is my joy. I am such a lucky mom and I know it!

    What a sweet post. I often think of that too. I wonder what I even did before Lauryn. My life has never been such full of joy.

    Isn't it amazing how things change? I used to manage a bar, and now at five at night when I am settling in with my kids, I remember how my day was just starting. My favorite time is still the same....but for different reasons. I used to love 10 for the action, nightlife, getting ready to go out. Now I love it for cuddling in bed with my kiddo's and watching t.v.

    Awww, I miss ya'll! I was having such a good time with Grant last night myself. He didn't nap at day care which is amazing, he always naps?! So he fell asleep in my arms watching TV, this never happens! And during the little bit of time we have after dinner and before his bedtime we played so much! He loves playing catch me if you can, and his other favorite and running and making you fall over on the floor! Children are God's blessing to us! To be that innocent is priceless!

    What a beautiful post... it brought back memories. Nikolaus used to laugh hysterically when I shook out the garbage bag before putting it in the trash can. You had me remembering that wonderful laugh, and now here he is not too far from where your Marc is in Afghanistan. Things have a funny way of coming full circle.
    I think we were meant to become friends! :-)

    This time, when they are that age, is so precious. My favorite thing about when my kids were quite young was when they would laugh like loons. You know the laugh....you start to wonder if they can breath because it's non stop and so complete :) Of course, although mine are now 9 and 14-going-on-25, they are still pretty kooky.
    Stay strong, Mama.

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!!!!...
