Aloha Friday - 53


Happy Friday everyone!
This week has literally flown by!
I had no clue it was Friday until I saw another Aloha Friday Post...

My question this week:

Are (Were) you close with your grandparents?


My answer:

I was extremely close with my Nana... I have mentioned that before. She seriously was like a best friend. With my other living grandparents, I try and see them when I can, but I can not say that I am as close with them as I was my Nana.... I know that I am lucky to have such a wonderful family and I am SO HAPPY that Broxton gets to see his GREAT GRANDPARENTS.

    I am very close with the grandparents on my fathers side - at times they practically helped raise me. :)

    Kinda....I grew up with my dad's parents (we lived with them...) but it wasn't until I got older that we got really close. My mom's parents not really...my grandma is so annoying I love her, but she calls me anytime anything bad happens...we had a storm the other day and she called because she heard there were tornados in northern ohio - I live in central my mom's dad I don't really even know

    I didn't know either of my grandmothers as they passed away before I was born. I did get to know both of my grandfathers but I was really close to my Grandpa (my mom's father). He was there for all my firsts. He is gone now and I miss him so much.

    never really met my grandparents in my father's side. my other set of parents ... well, not too close. my grandfather only talks when he's drunk, and my grandmother, well she's such a disciplinarian, but both give great Christmas gifts ...

    I was close to my dad's parents and spent time with them during the summers. My granddad died when I was very young and my grandma moved in with us, then she died when I was a teenager.
    I'm sad that my children didn't get to meet them.

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!!!!...
