Summer is ending, Celebrate with a #Giveaway

Summer is almost over.  Seems like school just got out for the summer and now here we are starting back.  I remember when I was in school we got 3 months off for summer... now seems like they are getting shorter and shorter.  Honestly, I would not mind year round school, if they incorporated nice long breaks in between, but I think I am in the minority on this one.  Seeing as though I am a working mom now, we really did not get much time to go and do like we have in the past, but I tried to make it as fun as I could.  We planned a trip to the beach for several days and let me tell you... WE HAD A BLAST!!!!   I do wish time would slow down, as I know my "babies" won't stay "babies" forever... but I honestly LOVE watching them grow up and become who they are.  Yes, I have hopes and dreams... all parents do, but in the end... I want them to be WHO they are meant to be!   


Since summer is coming to an end... and school has started back or is about to start, I thought it would be perfect to have a GIFT CARD giveaway.   One lucky winner will win a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart or Target.  (Winner chooses which store they would like.)
Easy to enter, just visit the rafflecopter link below to get started.

    We enjoyed the last 2 days of our vacation to Arizona. The first 2 days were rocky with Mica feeling so bad with hives all over.

    I started off the summer with foot surgery which has kicked my behind even up to today so our summer has been slower than usual. We did go to Wildwood for a weekend. I also took my daughter up to Met life stadium where we stayed overnight to see the Taylor Swift concert she won tickets to.

    It is a hard choice which card I would want. I love Target but seem to be in Walmart so much more since it is closer to me so I guess I would pick a Walmart card please.

    Well our summer started off badly but we did have such a shining light come into our life we were all just so shocked it happened so quickly!! My husbands brother & his wife have been in line for adoption just but few months , we all have been trying to do more together cause boys lost both parents 5+ yrs ago just months apart. Would u know it they got a call in Febuary 19,201!! They were up right after birth they met the Mom,Grandparents and Aunts & big brother!i was sick the day they come home with her but I told my husband to go up hold take pictures!! He did great pictures. I cried I was having gallbladder attacks I went almost 2yrs like that before they figured it out cause my heart was going up to 200+ ! But it's been great with our new life we Welcomed into Our Family with Open Arms & Open Hearts She is Our Family & she just is learning how to roll & jabber, scoot we just have so much fun!

    We've had a busy summer! One of my favorite things, though, was a family day just a few weeks ago. We had to take care of one bit of business, then we had the rest of the day free. We went to a fun restaurant for lunch and stopped for ice cream afterward. We played "Pass the Ice Cream." (It's less expensive to get a large cup of ice cream (half chocolate, half raspberry soft-serve) than three smaller ones.) So we get to tease each other with things like, "Ahem ... I think your turn is up."

    Definitely ... enjoy this time with them while they're growing up! As the mom of a young adult, I can tell you that it's both exciting and sad to see him finishing college, applying for full-time jobs, and thinking about leaving the nest.

    We didn’t have too much fun this summer. I moved to a new city with my family and gave birth to my baby girl just one week later on June 4. She was 4 weeks early. I have 2 other kids, ages 12 and 9, who are just so in love with having a baby sister. They start their new school Wednesday and are extremely nervous. We are on new adventures in 2018.

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...

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!!!!...
