Ha ha!!! Found a great book for moms!!!!


Even if you are not a first time mom, this book will have you laughing at times!
I love a good book and this is one!!!

It gets easier! ... And other lies we tell new mothers by Claudine Wolk is a great read!!!
I wanted to read it to see what all was in it...

This really is a cute book.
Long story short, Claudine Wolk was just like every other mother out there...
She thought she was prepared for motherhood... then BOOM.
Once she came home from the hospital and was a mom, she realized there were still questions needed to be answered... Top it off, her little one was crying and she couldn't find a solution!!!!
So, she turned to those who knew best... Other moms!
Now, she tells the not so loudly broadcast secrets of moms all over!!!

I will say, I found myself laughing at some parts...
When talking about the birth plan:
In reality:
"Husband rubs your back for about ten minutes and then exclaims that his wrist hurts."

I love how each section has a paragraphed summary to make me laugh a bit again!
She also talks about "take the products home."
Luckily for me a friend that had not to long before given birth told me about this...
She said to take everything we could and to request things...
So, we did...
I ended up having a C-section, so the panties that the hospital gave us were great.. I asked for extra and wore them at home until they ran out... Please tell me that I am not the only one! (Once again, another friend told me about the panties.)

I really enjoyed how truthful this book was!
I did feel as though I was talking with another friend about having a baby...
It was great!
The things we do discuss, breastfeeding, leaving the baby in the nursery so you can rest, visitors...
To those that you do not talk about, stocking up on pads, letting people help you out in the beginning...

From discussing returning to work, getting back your pre-baby body and more..
Not to mention today's television...
TLC baby story and Supernanny...

This is a book for today's generation!

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... ...
