With the fourth of July right around the corner... You need to make sure you are ready for the fourth! No, I am not talking about the sparklers/fireworks and beer... I am talking about the subtle ways to make a statement! Red... No need to go crazy with all the colors... Just a splash of red will make a BOLD statement! Spice it up adding a splash on your lips... Or give yourself that well deserved mani / pedi before heading out to the pool for the day! L’ Oréal Paris Infallible™ Le Rouge Lipstick in Target Red ($8.99 at Target) conditions lips for long wearing color. ORLY Lacquer in Star Spangled ($7.50 at Ulta ) delivers megawatt shine and classic color in a formula that’s free of DBP , toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin. Speaking of heading to the pool... Keep the Red out.. Of your Eyes!!! Throw a bottle of Visine Maximum Redness Relief in your pool bag! It soothes and protects your eyes while adding moisture for all day comfort! Instead of wearing a white shirt and worr...

***** CONTEST HAS ENDED***** I have never been one in my life to get up and have a nice big breakfast to eat. Never, not that I remember during childhood... Certainly not in college or since I have been married. We normally just have a bowl of cereal or a cereal bar or something... Now, I have gotten up and made Marc breakfast and he has done the same for me.. But it is not a typical thing. We are always looking for quick and decent tasting. I was excited to see that Emerald Nuts came out with a Breakfast on the Go . Not only is it easy to grab and eat on the run... IT TASTES GREAT!!!! They have Three Flavors: Breakfast, S'mores and Berry Nut Blends... Of course, if I were to have bought it in the store, I would have grabbed the S'mores flavor... (Being honest, I was disappointed with the marshmallow things, they were super hard, not what I was expecting at all! If they were not hard, I might have enjoyed this flavor more than I did.) I am so glad I was able to try them all f...

I am really enjoying the Crazy Days of Summer Challenge going on right now! I know that Marc is too.. As I told him my assignment and HE was the one all clicker happy taking pictures! Well, actually... His camera takes better pictures of "light" than mine... and when I got all frustrated with how mine were not the way I wanted them... He took over...

Hope you are planning to have a nice and relaxing weekend. Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. My question: Has there ever been a movie filmed near you? My answer: They filmed Fireproof in my hometown... (The Church, Sherwood, is the production of it and they have filmed another 2, Flywheel and Facing the Giants) They also filmed The Odd Life Of Timothy Green there as well. The reason I asked my question this week: They are filming 3 movies all within an hour of where we live right now, so I was just wondering about your area!

We try to make sure that Broxton not only eats good food, but also that he eats on great tableware. We have bought several different plates that have different characters on it... One or two uses later, the plate is all scratched up... Or there is this film like stuff peeling off of it. We all know that children's products are not always cheap either, so it really frustrates me when I have to throw items away that have only been used once or twice. Now, we have a tableware set that has really impressed me so far. Have you heard of Dandelion Earth Friendly Goods ? We were able to review several of their products... So far, so good! The first up, was the Infant Bowl and Spoon. Broxton has been using this for several items. I like that it is a BOWL that has a divider in it. We have used it for veggies on one side, dip on the other. We have also used it for different flavored ice cream! The next up was the Divided Plate. We actually took one home to leave at my parents house and the...

When the boys are here, you can only IMAGINE the way this house runs... Who knows more of what.. Who is stronger, smarter, faster... You get the picture? I was asked if I was interested in reviewing a book to test the knowledge of man. LOL . What do you think I said?! Heck yes, I would love to check this out! Granted, the oldest of the boys is 15, but still... A little healthy trivial competition has never hurt anyone! The book came and I was ready to dive in! Ha, I wanted to know what "The Man Test" was about and I have to say, I learned several things! Marc and Roman, the 15 year old, answered the questions as I read them out loud. (Of course, I was guessing with them!) The great thing is that the answers are a few pages back, so everyone can test their knowledge!

Broxton LOVES firetrucks. Like, absolutely LOVES them! Good thing for me, a friend of mine is a firefighter! That being said... Last time we went to my hometown, I promised him we would go see a firetruck. That was the big lead up that week. Broxton was super good, because he knew he would get to go... That Saturday morning, we headed to the fire-station. My friend, Christy came out to meet us. She took Broxton up in the firetruck and showed him how they turn the lights on. THEN, she let him pull the string which made the loud horn sound!!! He was excited to see it all, but I think he was more excited to just stand and look at it all! I think he was most excited to just get to see it, although he did like hearing the sirens and the horn!!! After they looked inside the truck, Christy even let him put on a fire-hat!!! (Thank goodness it was a cool one, since we quickly noticed the UGA sticker!! GO DAWGS !) After that, we made sure to get a picture so that we have proof that MOMMY g...
