Be Back Soon....

Hope that you all have had a great holiday break. We have had so much fun and I admit, I am looking forward to school starting back... I know that there are some parents out there that are wanting a longer break, but there has to be some out there like me who are ready for a bit of a schedule and structure. Which parent are you?
We were able to get the boys up here for their Christmas break. Well, two of them. Broxton loved having them here and our house was full of excitement and energy. The highlight for me? Marc was actually off of work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! We spent the day with him on Christmas Eve and were able to go to the Christmas Eve "family" service at our church. Then, Christmas Day we spent the day hanging out and enjoying being together.

This weekend was full of driving. We took the boys back down South where we exchanged gifts with my side of the family. We returned back up here and have been just "resting" before Broxton starts back to school this week. His sleep schedule is all messed up right now, so I am really DREADING the morning he has to wake up for school!
Other than that... Trying to get a little bit of a schedule together for the new year... Not just for our personal life, but also for blogging. As I said, I hope you had a great holiday and here is to a great year ahead!!!!! I will be back to regular blogging soon, just enjoying the last bit of time with Broxton before he starts school and all.

    Broxton looks happy to have 2 of his brothers around.

    I'm all for structure. One day off here and there is fine. Extended breaks are difficult!

    I know what you mean about dreading having to get your child up for school. My daughters sleep schedule is totally off.

    Glad you had a wonderful holiday with your family and that the hubs could be home.

    I totally understand about the schedule. I'm setting my alarm extra loud tonight.

    All schedules of sleep is messed up here too.

    I loved the time I had with my children.

    So wonderful that Marc had both Christmas Eve and Day off and got to spend it with all his boys. (BTW, I loved the photo of all of them on your Christmas card.)

    It's gonna be tough getting everyone, including yourself back on a regular schedule. But you are such a great mom, I know you can do it. =)

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!!!!
