I Love Being a Stay At Home Mom @chickensoupsoul #giveaway

I never thought I would have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom...
I have worked since I was 15, so I just did not see that as an option..
Then, we were able to let me do so and here I am...
I love it so much.  It is a job, just one that is not paid with monetary amounts..
But, the kisses, memories and experience I get while having the best job in my opinion is one that I would not trade for anything in the world...

Now, I am not judging.
Some do not have the opportunity, some just do not want to... 

To each their own, but for me... It is right...


Being a stay at home mom is wonderful and I am happy to see that Chicken Soup for the Soul has decided to do a book of 101 stories for Mothers about Hard Work and Happy Families.




The chapters include: 
Decisions, Decisions

The Daily Grind
Outside the Box
Becoming a Specialist
Working from Home
Ladies Who Launch
Gender Benders
The Dividends
Pink Slips
Looking Back


I have enjoyed flipping through reading different stories in here.

This book isn't just from the view of a Stay at Home Mom, there are also Stay at Home Dads, as well as the stories from kids and the spouse that works outside the home.  
If you love great stories of true love, you should check this book out!

    I have bought 5 of them, and seriously have every intention of reading them. As soon as I can get some me time that does not include kids pounding on the bathroom door.

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
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!!!!...
