Pambra's Review

Mommy Moments with Abby's review of Pambra:  I hate messing with wardrobe malfunctions and as a mom/daycare provider, honestly just don't have the time to deal with them so if it malfunctions, well it just stays that way unless obscene.  Living in AZ this means that every crease in my body ends up showing via a sweat line on my shirt, it looks like one of the kids drew on me with water.  Call me the walking fridge art of sweat.

Not every day batman gets pulled over!

NANA-NANA-NANA-NANA-BATMAN! This is awesome!  So, the batmobile was pulled over in Maryland with batman inside!  My husband send me this, being from Maryland and in an area him and I actually have been to, it hit close to his batty heart.  Batman endures the collection of officers, some snickering, and polite-fully playful jokes as he waits for the verdict of his registration being ran.  He was pulled over for no tags(bat-signal logo placed instead).  I didn't realize that Batman owned a building cleaning business on the side of running Wayne Enterprises.  I love how polite and understanding batman is and that the cops let him go do his good deeds!  There really isn't more to say but check out this video!

Teas Tea Review

I love tea, if you didn't notice and always jump at the chance to give my readers a new tea to try.  I have to this point only tested hot teas, but received the other day my first testing of a cold tea.  I wasn't sure how it would go since I have less control over how the tea turns out.  Hot tea gives you instructions on how to brew for the best taste, but you can add sugar or honey or whatever you choose to get the full taste you personally desire.  Cold tea, comes pre-made by someone else so you are taking their taste.  So, I had my husband help.

SRP Day at the AZ Capital~Guess which one is my Hubby!

OK, here is some fun, which one is my Hubby?  Can you guess?

Hieroglyphic Trail Hike Gold Canyon, AZ

We love hiking and I think it is a great family outing no matter your childs age.  Infants can be strapped to a back or front, toddlers can work those little legs, kids can explore and learn the environment, teenagers can get some cardio and Vitamin D in a healthy way, and us adults get a good workout and tired kids that usually make for calm kids once home.

Nothing Grows in the Desert, until now!

I hate living in a place where it is so difficult to get things other than catcus to grow.  It's so bad we even put fake grass in our back yard.  I love the fake grass, no watering, no grass stains, no mowing, but it's just not the same as that running through the grass feeling you got when you were a kid with bare feet!  We have a large area in the front we have been trying to grow grass in now for going on 2 years!  When we moved in it was just dirt with the brown remains of what was once grass being watered by the sprinkler system.  Due to the system being installed we decided to try to get grass growing out their as what seemed to have been intended.  I'm not sure the issue with grass not growing was a lack of water from the house not being lived in, I now think it has something to do with the soil.

Dish Washer Detergant EcoStore Review

How many of you have kids and you get warned about every cleaning product there is that will touch, be licked by, or even near your little baby or child?  Have you stopped to think why no one says anything about the most important cleaning product that will be in constant contact with your child? The dish cleanser.  I run a daycare and regularly have an infant on my arm which means a lot of bottle/Sippy cleaning throughout the day.  The ingredients in my dish soap aren’t one I thought of until recently and since I was looking for a greener/healthier product for this purpose I thought of the ecoSTORE USA.  Lucky for me they sent me a product to test for this exact issue!

Hellobabydirects' Bashful Bunny Review

I received in the mail the cutest little Jelly Kitten Bashful Bunny Medium Size from Hellobaby to review.  I had every intention of putting it to the daycare test until my daughter got so excited over what came out of the box.  She took one look at this furry little guy and the first thing she said was, “MINE”.  The next was rabbit.   From this point on this little guy has been solely hers and her best friend, she even takes him to bed with her.

My husband has been bewitched

The other day my husband took out the trash, no this isn't the reason he is bewitched, and he knows that I love the flowers blooming in the Arizona spring so he took off some from the boganvia plant and brought them in to give to me.  I found it to be very sweet and loved it, there are others in the house who didn't think the same.

MOH Review and Giveaway

How often have you gone to class, work, or to a friend’s house and wished it was easier to take information from one computer to another?  I have a lot, so I did like everyone else and got those little USB flash drives.  Here is my issue; I kept losing it in the bottom of diaper bags, purses, lord know where, and unfortunately the washer via pant pocket.  I decided that it is time to find a solution. 

Guest Post by Lemuel Craft: Video baby monitor

Thanks to Lemuel Craft

We recently had our second child, and you have never met a better mother than my wife. She is the most kind, loving, patient woman I have ever known. I wanted to get her a gift for Mother’s Day that she would really enjoy. I know that she wanted a video baby monitor with our first child. However, they are very expensive, so we went with a much cheaper sound monitor only. With another baby here, I decided it was worth the extra money to make my wife happy and to be able to see our children sleeping in the other rooms of the house. The monitor I bought toggles between rooms every eight seconds, so we are able to see both of our children. My wife loved the gift. I bought the monitor online using broaband satellite internet because we live in a rural area. There are very few stores located within driving distance that have this type of product. I know my wife sleeps better at night knowing we can see our children in their rooms anytime we want. Our two-year-old son has gotten into the habit of getting out of his bed at night, so the monitor has worked out really well.

Potty Cover Review and Giveaway

I'm sure that I'm not the only mom who experiences issues in Potty Training.  Lucky for me, I review products and one came down the pipeline that seemed to be a fix for one of my issues/concerns.  I was asked to review the Potty Cover and accepted.  Here is why: I have no idea what to do with my little potty trainer when we are out in public.  The public bathrooms aren't exactly set up for a little trainer and aren't always the cleanest.  In accepting to review the product I was hoping it would be the answer to my issue.

Birds on the Brain

During our most recent outing to the Riparian area we were lucky enough to see a log of different animals.  We noted a cotton tail who scampered across our path and of course many amazing birds!  My daughter had a quick eye for any duck, swan, or goose who came into her line of site, while the hubby was on a quest for more elusive feathered friends.

The Rad Riparian!

I am always looking for free things to do to get my kids out of the house.  In Arizona, this happens to be the best time of year to get out with the kids.  The wildflowers are in bloom down here bringing out the most amazing colors and wildlife.  We happen to be lucky enough to have a riparian area not too far from the house.

The Luck of the Clover

To celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day we made a fun little bit of luck to help bring fun and joy to the rest of the day.   So, grab an egg carton, scissors, and green paint and make yourself some luck!

My Little Geologist

We love to be outside in this family.  Discovering, exploring, and just taking in nature is a huge part of our life whenever possible.  A few weekends ago we took a drive out to the Lost Dutchman Gold Trail for a long over-due hike.  We had thought about taking the metal detector for a bit of extra fun, but with a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and 3 dogs, it was a bit much to carry.  Now, this is the perfect time of year to hike in AZ since now is when the wild flowers bloom, the weather is brisk and not overly hot, and the snakes haven't fully come out of hibernation yet (but you still have to keep an eye out because they are starting to wake from their slumber).  So, we headed out on the trail.

Renaissance Faire Review

We went to the Renaissance Faire on Saturday for the first time. It was set up in an adorable fashion with the buildings taking you back to a different time. It was supposed to be the History weekend, but I'll be honest I'm not sure what set it apart from the other weekends. They did have a section that showed how things were made in the old days which I found very cool and appreciated, plus they had royalty which included a very loud queen whom one vender claimed would offer her jests at those trying the various games.

The mini book of grandwiches review

Post-Op Follow up

I went for my follow up and found I had popped a suture meaning more weeks of discomfort for me.  I am healing well however and still can't sleep on the shoulder.  I do wonder at times why the body does what it does in pregnancy.  Why did mine start to consolidate fat in one location.  Why did it continue to grow after the pregnancies ended?  Why did it attach to the muscle? Why are so many pregnancies so different?

Post-Op Day 3: Angel's Landing

Why do they insist on labeling things with amazing names that inflict so much pain?  My shoulder was sore and I still couldn't lay on it, but I could change the bandage and clean it making showing much easier.  After loading up, we pulled up front to check out and I advised the man behind the desk of our intentions to hike Angel's Landing.  He let me know he had been hearing about snow and ice on the trail and recommended clamp-ons.  I let my husband know and he didn't feel he needed any, but I wanted to be safe having just had the surgery I didn't want to slip and fall on some ice.  We found some cheap at the local grocery store and set off to park.
