Booze in the hamper

I was accepted by Tryazon to test out Sweet Creation Cupcake products and host and in home party, in exchange for my opinion, blog post etc. Close up of some Sweet items I received; Reusable, plastic cupcake stand,  Icing bags with decorative tips, cupcake batter scoop, cupcake batter divider, cupcake corer. First of all. Thank you to Trayazon for selecting me to test out and share this product.  I was over the top excited when I received my acceptance email! I posted so many things on Facebook about it on my parenting group. I created a  Facebook group for Arizona parents, that is geared towards getting parents and children together to make new friends, play hard and try out new things.   If you an Arizona parent and looking for play dates or a way to connect with other parents in the valley. Come join us by  CLICKING HERE! I got a text at work from my husband saying I got a super heavy box delivered at out doorstep.  I knew it just ha...

So.... I made the biggest boo-boo. I had completed an application through  Moms Meet  to try out  Bob's Red Mill Oatmeal Cups  and was accepted to try them out. I had sent my acceptance email for the mission to get some mommies together and then lost touch with my email...more like lost touch with reality.  I walked up to my porch after a hard days work and see this random box sitting on my door step.  I didn't order anything, I thought to myself.  I kind of kicked the box a bit and found that it was slightly heavy. I left it there. Figured my husband or mother in law may have ordered something and would drag it in. A week goes by and the package is still there.  Finally I asked my husband to bring the box inside and see who it was for. I couldn't check the side of the box apparently....ding dong moment! Come to find out the box IS for me. I opened it to find a whole slew of packing peanuts!  My kid...

I am a brand ambassador a Moms Meet and was selected to try out Harvest Snaps! Moms Meet is a web site designed for like eco-minded moms who are interested in the benefits of healthy products. Moms meet is a wonderful site that empowers mothers in meeting new people and discussing great products along with Kiwi Magazine.  You can find them by clicking  HERE  . When I was selected, Moms Meet sent me an amazing box of Goodies. There were five different flavors to taste test and a gazillion tiny Grab and go bags to send home with parents.  You can check out all of their amazing flavors at  HarvestSnaps.com Since we are still fairly warm here in the state of Arizona. A nice cool 100 degrees in August. I thought perhaps, we should get a few splash pad play dates in before it got too cold out! So, I created an event on my face book parenting page and invited the entire group to get a better crowd. I titled it the same Harvest Snaps Snack and Play at the splash ...

This post was sponsored by Mr. Sketch® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Ooh how I love scented markers..... I was incredibly overjoyed to have been selected to try the Mr Sketch scented markers. My mind was flooded with nostalgia. All good things.  How I loved to color with scented markers. Especially the grape.   Everyone remembers the grape scent.   I have a four year old who is an incredible artist. She draws the most lovely pictures of people with super round bodies and cute little stick legs. It's cute as can be. Getting this mission was my way to live vicariously through her and enjoy, once again, my favorite grape scented marker.  The package could not have arrived at a better time. Friday evening. I have to cook dinner and figure out a way to keep both my two and four year old from climbing all over me. I mean, who do these kids think I am? A human jungle gym? Yeah, pretty ...

Just recently I joined Crowdtap and have had the most amazing fun trying out their sample missions.  If you haven't tried Crowdtap yet, go check them out.....after you read this of course.  They can be found here:  http://www.crowdtap.com a good description of croed tap is labeled right on thier page...so I am barrowing it to tell you exactly what they are " Crowdtap combines community and technology to  generate agile brand research, authentic peer recommendations  and influential brand storytelling at-scale" My most recent mission was Garnier Clearly Brighter facial moisturizer with SPF 15.  according to the mission, I would get clearer, brighter skin the same day of use and was challenged to try for one week.  The photo i posted above is exactly one week of use.  Day one was awesome. I had nice smooth skin that was soft to the touch. actually, the entire week was pretty awesome.  I also did not wear much m...

What a day!!!!! Easter weekend is Crazy!!!! I mean crazy.  Let me back up a little so you can get the feel of what I went through today. I thought it would be a great idea to take my 4 year old who's now developed her own opinions on things and my nutty two year old who's...well, TWO!!! Need I say more? Anyways, I thought it would be a great idea to take them to the Easter party here in our local Metro Center Mall. No big deal right?  Yeah...right!  Both girls are screaming the whole way there. My oldest was putting stickers on my youngest and she did not like it, not at all. darn near had to pull over to prevent a full blown sticker crisis.  Once we get there, we took the escalator ride down and the idea of the Easter bunny was over for my two year old. We went up and down about 100 times. Tried to do some arts and crafts with a two year old that wont sit still.  Finally decided to take them to the play land. all was fun an dandy for about 30 mins. m...

Some may know about a few recent decisions I've made in life. I was recently asked "if I knew the outcome of my past decisions, would I change my path or choices?"  The answer to that is No. Some of my choices whether they are wrong or right have been ways of learning. I've learned joy and shared the most amazing days of my life with my family and those who love me. I've helped create the two most beautiful children in the world and experienced unconditional love. I've also learned some pretty painful feelings that only come to light when you can stop and see from an outside perspective. Without my decisions to live and try things out, I would have no experience in life.
