Pigtails and Crewcuts - Broxton's haircut!

Image
I am not sure if you remember when I asked about when you gave your child their first haircut... My family (southern tradition, I do not know... ) always waits until their first birthday... So, we waited... And sure enough, on his first birthday, we went and got his haircut. Of course, that meant Daddy would miss it... SO, once daddy came home... We got settled into our new place... and I googled fun places for children's haircuts. It pulled up the site for Pigtails and Crewcuts and we went to check it out... This place is just so cute! You walk in and they have 2 "waiting" rooms set up.. A TV is in there playing a movie and they have TONS of toys for the child to play with while they wait their turn. Once it is your turn, you pick the chair you want to sit in.... While they get their haircut, they have movies up on flat screens so that they have something to watch... Broxton cared less about the movie... and if you notice, he did NOT like the cape, so we said forget ...

I have not forgotten!

Just wanted to let you know that I know a few contests have ended... I will be posting all the winners information on Monday for the 3 contests. Just trying to enjoy the last few days we have with the boys before they head back to their moms. Thanks for understanding! Have a great weekend! Just a heads up, but I have a few more reviews/giveaways posted for next week... Keep reading to see what is in store! :)

aloha Friday - Elton?

I am linking up with Kailani over at Island Life ... Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. 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 to you: Does this make you think of Elton John? As soon as Marc told me to look at Broxton, all I could think was "Elton" LOL, Happy weekend everyone!

Pyur - Review

Image
If you have not heard of Pyur , you need to go to their website now... I contacted them and I was honored to have Marinés email me back!!! I was lucky enough to have the chance to review several items from their site and I have to tell you... I do not think I have honestly ever seen/felt/used anything like their diaper balm. Marinés went above and beyond with the samples she sent! She sent me the Bath Salts and Belly Butter... The bath salts were an excellent way to wind down after a long day here! :) I am giving the Belly Butter to a friend of mine that just had a baby.... I know she will love it. (it smells wonderful!) For Broxton she sent: Nourishing Baby Lotion Baby Diaper Balm Baby Soap (She even wrote his name on the package with a cute little smile drawn on it!) Eucalyptus Chest Rub Okay, here is where it gets good. Good thing for us, we have not had to use the Eucalyptus Chest Rub, but it is with the medicine for when/if we need it. The Baby Soap: It has such a rich lather ...

Pillsbury Brownies, Oh my! - Review and Giveaway

Image
Broxton is not in school, so luckily we do not have to worry about snacks for the class or bake sales or anything like that... YET! But, we do have the boys here for summer... Yes, our home is 4 boys, daddy and poor ol ' me! Luckily for me, I was able to review the Pillsbury Brownie Pack! Working with My Blog Spark, I was sent a gift card to Sam's to purchase brownies, 2 tubs of frosting, a container to hold all the yummy brownies and an icing kit! Let me just tell you... The boys kept asking over and over when we were going to go get the brownies... So, we loaded up and headed over to Sams ... Whoa! Get to the bakery section and we grabbed them! They were so excited that they were already made! All we had to do was get home and cut them up! (I am sure if we had a knife... and if they were allowed to eat in the car, they would not have made the trip home!) We got home and I frosted up the brownies... The boys (and daddy) liked the chocolate frosting the best... I enjoyed the C...
