Sooo, I have noticed that this month has been a bit slower in blogging world. I am just so busy with my children right now and we are ENJOYING our summer. Pool time, playground time, long walks, cook outs, picnics...we are having a blast! Hope you are making some of your own memories this summer. Have a good weekend! :)

Happy Monday everyone! Sooooooooooooo, I wanted to just let you all know that over the weekend I experienced some unforeseen difficulties with my blog. It was a VERY rough weekend because of all this and I wanted to give you all a heads up about the issues I had. Because of the problems (to lengthy to discuss here...), all comments that were left prior to Saturday are no longer visible to you. However, I can see them in my blogger dashboard. So if you go to a post that you left a comment on and you don't see the comment, please be assured that I do have the comment and you do not have to re-submit it. Hopefully from here on out we should be good but I just wanted to let you all know what went on so you understand why your comments are not there. Have a great day! :)

Boy oh boy...diapers are just something we have been talking about alot around here! Anyone who has children knows that diapers are NOT optional and that at some point, we all need them for our little ones. Well, I have something fun for you today and this is promising to be a huge hit! Do you think you know your baby well? I would say that I do but are you willing to bet on how well you know your baby? Starting on August 7th and every Saturday after that, there will be a new show premiering on CBS called Bet On Your Baby! Here's the scoop... Bet on Your Baby is a new show where parents play fun games with their toddlers, and try to “bet” on what baby will do next! If they guess correctly, the family wins $5,000 in college tuition money, and the chance to play for $50,000!  All of these heartwarming and hilarious games are played in a toy-filled room called the Baby Dome. Do you think that you could predict what baby will do next?  Ha ha! That sounds like such a gr...

Last year I posted about Produce for Kids and their Get Healthy, Give Hope Campaign and I am pleased to announce that it is once again time for this fantastic campaign! My children have a problem eating healthy (as do many children I know) and I am constantly on the lookout for fun and exciting ways to get them to eat better. When I first met Produce for Kids, I was overwhelmed with their commitment to nutrition for kids and have kept in touch with them ever since. On their website you can find recipes and fun ideas to get your children in some better eating patterns and I for one have enjoyed the experience of finding new ways to prepare simple foods. Want to know more about this campaign? Check out the details... Produce for Kids is launching its annual Get Healthy, Give Hope campaign with major supermarket chains across the country, including your local Price Chopper store, to help raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Children's Hospital at Dartmouth this S...

From the time my daughter was a baby, I have always loved to doll her hair up in pretty styles. She was TERRIBLE about keeping anything in her hair as an infant so I sort of gave up until she was older. Now that she is bigger, I am constantly giving her special styles in her hair and for the first time ever, I did her hair in rag curlers the other night. Woo! Was her hair ever curly the next morning!! She loved it and I loved doing it for her. Curly hair on little girls is just too cute. :) Some of the other hair styles that she loves are braids, half up and half downs, pony tails and other easy styles. Because she is older, she also sits still for longer periods of time while I do her hair. This was something that she always had trouble with when she was smaller. I have convinced her that when she sits still so mommy can do her hair, she can end up looking like a fancy princess and that usually does the trick in getting her to stay still longer. I have recently discovered a reall...

Well, my brother is married!! The wedding was beautiful and the bride and groom were sooo cute. It is such a blessing that my brother found such a wonderful girl and that they are so happy together!

Well, as I have mentioned in previous posts, this coming Friday is my brother's wedding. Ahh! I can't believe my little brother is getting married. Needless to say, our entire family is so incredibly excited and I am especially excited because I get to dress my babies up in the most adorable outfits and I am going to do Hannah's hair in rag rollers! (Wish me luck on that one...lol!). It has been about 2 years since I have been to a wedding and it will be nice to be at one once again. Normally, all weddings have something in common...two people are hopelessly in love and EVERYONE has huge smiles on their faces. :) I remember my wedding day like it was yesterday - my face hurt at the end of the day and I felt like I had a permanent smile that was glued in place. Ha ha! Well, I am positive that I will be doing a lot of smiling this Friday and in preparation for that, I have been in the process of whitening my teeth! Looking for the perfect teeth whitening products can be ...

How many of you LOVE history? When I was in high school, I didn't really enjoy it that much but as I grew into young adulthood, I came to appreciate it much more than ever. Watching documentaries really helped me to understand history more and when I see something acted out, it makes so much more sense. Well, if you, your family or someone you know loves history than you are going to LOVE the movie " Copperhead ", which is opening in theaters on June 28th!! Copperhead is the perfect movie for this year as 2013 marks the 150 year anniversary of the Civil War & The Battle of Gettysburg! How appropriate then, to make a movie based on true events that actually happened during that time. Here is a bit more about Copperhead... From director Ron Maxwell, (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals) Copperhead is unlike any other Civil War movie. Far from the Virginia battlefield, it’s the exciting story of Abner Beech (Billy Campbell), a peace-loving but stubborn dairy farmer in up...
