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

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...

Wholly Guacamole Review and Giveaway

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Here in our home, we are big time snackers. My husband always says "Time to eat again!" right before he goes to bed...it's tradition!!! So, off to bed he goes carrying a plate of some type of snack. His favorite foods are usually hot foods to "warm up" his belly before dozing off for the night. HOW he enjoys this I don't know. Usually he brings in extra for me too but because I brush my teeth before crawling into bed I don't normally partake of his night time snacks. We LOVE salsa in our house too...it is just something that is always a part of our snacking. The best part about snacking on salsa is that it is usually healthy for you...which makes it all the more enjoyable! This next review encompasses guacamole AND salsa...and my my-it is GOOD! I have heard of Wholly Guacamole before but had never tried it. So when the opportunity arose for me to conduct a review of their products, I was thrilled! Mainly because I have ...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
