10/10/10 - Top 10

My dear friend Lorie posted her top 10....
So I am too!
(She just NOW realized it was 10/10/10... and lucky me, my computer said 10:10 when I was on her post)


Anyways-
The top 10 things that make me smile
1. Being a mommy... I really and truly am a very blessed person. I know, I was a step mom to some sweet boys, but being pregnant... and seeing Broxton for the first time... That showed me a love I have never EVER known before...

2. My husband... Marc is a wonderful man that completes me. Besides being a wonderful husband and daddy, he is a TRUE American Hero... Add to it him being deployed the first part of Broxton's life... It is sad, but sweet... We are so proud of him! (and SO GLAD he is Home!)

3. My family and friends ... They helped get me through Marc's deployment...
and are such treasures... Those in my life are here, through good and bad!

4. My bloggy buddies... Although we have never met face to face, I have several that I really consider friends, not just "followers" but actual friends and I am so looking for the chance to meet you all!

5. The Internet... How else would we have survived Marc's deployment? How else would I know YOU?

6. Soldiers Angels... A great organization that shows support to the military...
I will be posting about them soon, as they are in desperate need of any amount of a donation you can send.... Without donations, some products might have to be eliminated...

7. Gymboree... Broxton gets to go and play and make new friends... and run and play and get exercise... did I mention run and play? LOVE IT!!! (Makes nap time better!)

8. Books... I love to read, always have... always will.... I love the escape- if even only for a few minutes!

9. A nice HOT BATH... Relax, read a book if I can... Bubbles...

10. My camera... I have ALWAYS carried a camera... High school and college... and of course, now that I have this little boy running around! Thank goodness for digital! (It was getting pricey printing all those on film!)

    I LOVE Soldiers Angels, they are a terrific organization. Thank you so much for posting your 10 faves, I knew I could count on you.
    You have lots of the same faves as me, guess that is why we are friends. :-)
    I can't believe I didn't think of my camera, maybe because I think of it as an extension of me - like a body part. TeeHee
    Have a fantastic week... HUGS

    I love your list. My camera, blogging buddies, and anything that helps with naps would be on my list too.

    Amen to digital cameras! Haha. What would we do without those? Especially as a mom. Who knows when a moment will pop up!

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...
