Packing and Preparing

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you all a brief heads-up on what is going on here in my little corner of the world. We are preparing to move our family next week sometime (Lord willing) and so I may be a bit sparse in posting (lack of Internet, packing and unpacking, etc.). I have been trying to pack boxes every day and still, it seems like I have such a long way to go. Today, hubby moved a bunch of boxes from the basement out into the garage so it would be easier to move to into the truck...he kept saying how hard it was to move so many boxes. This will definitely be an interesting experience for our family! :)
Hannah is a bit perplexed as to why all her books and toys are being packed up. She keeps handing me things saying "Mommy, we need to take this to the new house...don't forget it!" She doesn't realize that everything is going to the new house. It's cute to watch her pick through things and tell me what not to forget to take with us. She will bring me the most random things and ask me to put it in a box. Too cute.
Thankfully, we are moving only about 5 minutes from our current house so it should be pretty quick to move stuff.
All this and I am on a diet. My family (parents, siblings and sibling's significant others) are in a weight loss competition and all participants are putting $10 towards a VISA gift card that will go to the winner of the competition. Needless to say, I have totally re-vamped my diet and am now exercising regularly...and drinking 100 ounces of water a day (helloooo bathroom!). I do have to be careful though because I am breastfeeding and so I am just trying to cut sugar down and incorporate more fruits and veggies. Actually, it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sooo, even if I don't win, at least I will win in my own way! :)
So, I just wanted to let you guys know that if you don't see anything happening here for a few days, you will know the reason. I am getting some really FANTASTIC review items soon so be watching for them. Thanks for your patience while I transition with my family...this is a HUGE move for us and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers for us during this time. :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review & Giveaway

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Softlips Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** It is that time of year again...break out the chapstick! The winter will be here before we all know it (around here, anyway) and that means that the cold wind and dry air will be sapping all the moisture from my face. Right now, the weather is in the upper 40's (major bummer) and we are going to have a green Christmas, from what I can tell. Today I was out and about running some last minute Christmas errands and was so thankful for my Softlips chapstick I had in my car. While it is still mild out, my lips still need to be moisturized and I just LOVE the Softlips brand. If you are unfamiliar with Softlips , it is a product of Mentholatum which manufactures other brands such as Oxy, Fletchers, pHisoderm and several others as well. Softlips is also manufactured not far from my home...which is pretty neat too! Before I continue with my review, here is a short video of some gift ideas for this Holiday season...from Softlips! Personally, I wou...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip...
