The Tao of Motherhood - Book Review


Mothers Day is May 8Th.
Do you have any plans?
We don't.
Not to be funny, but every day is special to me now that I have Broxton.
I love my mom and my grandmothers, but I do not know if we will be down there...
I do know they will be thought of, but they are everyday already!

If you are looking for a sweet something to get a Mother in your life...
I have a great idea for you.
This is a book that would be great for a friend that is a mother, for your mother or even for yourself!
I was able to review it and I enjoyed the read.
As you can expect, they are all short reads.
They just released the 20Th Anniversary edition.
(It was released April 11th!)
20Th Anniversary?
Something must be going right!

In the introduction, the author states:
" I hope you find inspiration here, and that your journey with your child is a joyful one that teaches you what you can here to learn."

I really enjoyed the read and the fact that it is best used (for me) during my quiet time.
Just a time for me to reflect (and enjoy) the amazing thing called Motherhood.
There are 81 messages for us to read.
I don't really know what to call them.
It isn't a story, maybe a reflection?
Several of them hit home, but I think each "message" will bring meaning for others in different ways.
Message number 27 : Knowledge
Now, that was a great one!
Another favorite? Number 23 : Stop.

I think the quote out of all I read came at the end of number 11, Empty Spaces.
"Similarly, know that your child uses your empty spaces. What you do not say resounds. What you do not do impresses."

Great words in here...
So, if you are looking for a great gift...
Birthday, Easter, Mothers Day, Baby Shower...

The Tao of Motherhood is a great book for a wonderful gift idea.

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...
