What's Going On?

Sorry that you guys have been a bit neglected lately....
It has been hectic around here (to say the least) and I have been enjoying spending time with family...
Wondering what we have been up to?

Well, besides being sick...
Yes, you know how it goes... Going back and forth to my hometown... and then the weather changing, I ALWAYS get a cold...   so, I was not really able to visit with many family members... (Will totally be trying to make up for that soon!)

Up first: 
The Annual Army Party...
I was able to get a good picture of the boys for our Christmas cards and we had a great day visiting.
They had Marc dress up as Santa and give toys to all the kids....  It was funny, as Broxton IMMEDIATELY recognized it was his daddy!!!!  He did not ruin it for the others, but I thought it was pretty funny!
The boys.
A surprise party for my Mema.  
Her birthday is on Christmas, so she never really gets to celebrate HER birthday... 
This year, she turned 80 and my mom and aunt decided to surprise her and throw her a party!!!
They had her thinking she was going shopping and they were going to grab a bite of lunch first.  She walked in to lots of her relatives and then the ladies in her Sunday School class.  She was indeed surprised and I think she had it out for my mom and aunt for a bit, as she is really not one to do well with surprises!!!!

She is a wonderful person and a great Mema, so she totally deserved it!!!!
My Aunt, My Mema and My Mom.

The boys came up for Christmas break and although my quiet house of 3 turned into a loud and not a dull moment house of 7, it was great as there was lots of laughter and love.  I loved that we were able to all go to church together for Christmas Eve and the boys got to see Broxton in the Christmas program that night...
He was a Wiseman.
Christmas Day had our house totally full and it was wonderful!!!  My parents and my brother came over and we had a great Christmas Day lunch at our house.  It was awesome for me, as it was our first Christmas in our new home... and it was just really special that they made the trip to come up for it.  What made it even better?  My grandmother gave me her Christmas dishes and we were able to eat off of them this year!
I tell you, sentimental things mean the world to me!!!!
The boys with my parents.
But - I am slowly coming back to blogging... School is about to start back up, family has headed home...
Hope your New Year is starting off great!!!!

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...
