Baby Body Signs is a must have for all parents! At least that is my opinion of this book! This book covers everything you might think of, from the time they are born... On up through the toddler years! I know that our pediatrician would have liked for me to have had this book when Broxton was first born! I had to have asked a million questions... I wanted to know every detail! Aren't all parents like that? or was it just me? First of all, the book is broken down into Chapters based upon the part of the body... Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose... You get the picture. Then, each chapter has several different sections... The most recent section I looked at was the ears section... Broxton has been trying to put things in his ears... I wanted to make sure it was out of boredom versus an ear infection.. Sure enough, there as a section on that... Here is the book description: Like most parents, you probably notice -- and often worry about -- every little change in your growing baby. Why is one...

With Labor Day weekend being this weekend... This contest has been extended until 9/7. I have not had candles in the house because of Broxton , so when I saw that Bridgewater Candles were candles with a "clean burn" I thought that I would like to try them. One of the things that originally drew me to the candle was the tagline , "Snapshots of Life." Taken from their website : God created us with a sense of smell so closely associated with our memories that scents remind us of people, places, and events. Bridgewater fragrances are forever linked to special moments and memories. We're ready to create thousands more...to capture Snapshots of Life. We look forward to celebrating new seasons and successes with you. Now doesn't that make you want to start making a few wonderful memories with such a nice candle? I was lucky enough to be able to review the Cookie Jar and the Frosted Berry. Ha! Let me tell you a little thing about this "cookie jar" can...

Aloha and Good Day! :) It is FRIDAY! Time to hop around and visit a few other Aloha Friday Participants... Then relax and enjoy your weekend! My question: If you could have any hair color, what would it be? My answer... I am a redhead and that is just fine with me! I like it, not everyone has it! (and from what I have seen, when I get older, it will go white, not grey!!!) Have a great weekend everyone!

I love you all.. I really do! But no, I am not going to do a before and after picture of my closet! Let me just tell you that WHOA! It was clustered, to say the least! Now, there is a bit of organization! I do know that I need to go and buy more! As soon as I put the Wonder Hanger in my closet and saw how much neater everything was, I immediately called my brother to tell him he needed to get some for his new apartment! Okay, so I know it still needs lots of work, well... LOTS more Wonder Hangers! But, it is an improvement! Now, we have all of Marc's LSU shirts on one Wonder Hanger.... and then all of his button up shirts on another... Solid Colored Polos ... So on and so forth! Once we get more hangers, it will look a million times better, but like I said... This is a major improvement! Before the wonder hangers, you could not even see the back wall of our closet! This is no joke! The great thing about it is: You get 8 Wonder Hangers! Each Wonder Hanger will hold 5 of your hange...

Have you ever caught yourself watching the " Your Baby Can " commercials? I see them all the time and I wonder, could it actually work?! Could Broxton actually start reading at that level?! I have been so lucky to have been able to review the " Your Baby Can " read!!!! We have been doing it a little under a month. The main thing that I like about the DVD is that there are children doing the "teaching." I feel as though at his age, he will be more responsive to learning from other children, versus an adult. You know, because they relate better? I also like that the DVD's are not that long. They do a bit of the "teaching" then they play music (also an educational tool) then back to more of the "teaching." They even include a Parents Guide as to how to use the kit... Top it off, they have each section clearly labeled and color coded to help you! I also like how instead of it JUST being on the TV, they also have flash cards and book...

I am not going to go into the whole story about us being pregnant and all that good stuff... But, I want to skip to when Marc was set to deploy. I was pregnant... Recently out of a job... Husband was leaving for training and I was a bit nervous! I knew in my heart that he would come home safe... It was weird, I was never worried about that... Marc left for training... and came home for the birth... Then he had to leave for more training. There were many nights of us staying in hotels, just trying to enjoy as much time as we could before he left... Of course, in the hotel, Broxton slept with us in the little co-sleeper thing. I hate to admit it, but once Marc left... I think I needed Broxton close to me more than he needed me! I know that God gave me Broxton so as to have a piece of Marc with me until he returned... There were times when I just needed to snuggle with him, to somewhat help me get to sleep at night. I even had a t-shirt that Marc wore right before he left that I kept...
