Nursery Paint that grows with you!

I was trying to decide how to paint my son's room.  I wanted it to be boy coloring, but didn't want it to be too directional in any one way.  I don't know yet what sport he will play, if he will be into animals, or if he will be a techi-kid.  In the end I settled on a pretty boring color and decided on an accent wall.  I wanted it to be more though since I was choosing such a traditional color.  I got my idea from some of the houses we had looked at when we were house hunting.  Shadow stripping would be my accent walls best friend!  It works in a kids room and looks great in a study, perfect for a growing child!  I think it turned out pretty good!

A few birds and a need for accountability

We usually try to get out to the riparian area this time of year if we don't go on a hike somewhere or have an event to review on the weekends.  We made it out to the riparian area and somehow our trip to find the migrating birds ended up as a reminder that not everyone should have a pet.

Beautiful Odette Hoops Review by Mom Does Reviews

What woman doesn't like jewelry.  No matter if you are a one piece at a time kind of girl, function only pieces, or the more the merrier, we all love a little accessory to add something to our day and outfit.  Lucky for me, my blog friends feel the same and one was able to review some earrings.  Not only do we get to see their review of the earrings, but we get a chance at their giveaway!  

Check out the review of Odette Hoops.

Painting the world with toddlers

We have a lot that we do during the day, diapers, dancing, yoga, numbers, alphabet, language, eating, reading, playing outside, craft, and a bunch of little things throughout the day.  Sometimes we need to see the beauty in the world around us and slow down.  Other times we need to add a little something too it!

SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Review

How many of you have to get up go to the door open it, wait, wait, wait, open it back up, close it and then go about what you were doing to start with before the cat needed out?  Dilemma number two, you get a cat door and now you have unwanted visitors in the form of other peoples or stray cats coming in to eat the left over or recently filled dish of food and/or water?  Either way, it's not fun!  So, why not take being a responsible cat owner and functioning person and combine them both.

Just because they have fur, doesn't mean they aren't your baby!

How do you know when a pet isn't just a pet, but another child?  Well, I have always called my fur-babies, my fur-babies because that's what they are to me.  Ever so often I catch sight of something that validates this in my head.  Like one of my fur-babies falling asleep on a couch with a teddy bear that sings lullabies.  I love these furry little/big ones of mine!  They always love it when you are home, never give you space because they love you so, and are always up for play and exercise!

A little bit about DAWGS

The DAWGS Brand footwear label quickly became a leader in the shoe industry's evolution towards new comfort. DAWGS Brand's mission has and continues to bring a Foot's Best Friend to more and more happy people every day.

They have flip flops, sandals, shoes, boots and more!

Here are just a few examples of what they sell. Even though it's now Spring I just love boots so had to show some of the other types of shoes at DAWGS. [caption id="attachment_2394" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Dawgs 15" Low Heel Zip Fashion Boots"][/caption]

Powered by Mom's Review

When choosing what color of Spirit shoe to get I went outside my norm and got the white and pink pair pictured instead of my usual black. The Spirit shoe comes in a variety of colors including several in black with various colored accents, white also with different accent colors, navy and tan ones as well. As you can see I went with white which I was a little concerned about because we all know how quickly white shoes get dirty. Well DAWGS does deliver on their promise that these spirit shoes are easy to clean and yes odour resistant too. When you wear shoes without socks which you can of course with the Spirit shoes you are of course taking that chance that they'll get kind of smelly. That has not happened with my Spirit shoes so far and hopefully won't but I've tested them pretty well by wearing them every day for several days inside the house at first and then I went outside and did some gardening in them. The shoes are quite comfortable and I like that they have an adjustable velcro strap as my feet are narrow. I ordered a size 6 as that's usually the largest size of shoe that I wear. The DAWGS just fit without socks and occasionally my toe feels like it's at the top but it's still comfortable. I'm not sure I could wear anything but a thin sock with them though if I wanted to wear socks. Most people probably wouldn't want to wear socks with them but I like to have the option so I would say if you're a bit concerned and wanted to ensure they fit you with socks on order the next size up as in my opinion they fit a wee bit on the small size. DAWGS also states that the Spirit shoes are/have:

• Extremely Comfortable, Ultrasoft & Lightweight
• Non-marking
• Massaging Foot Bed with Arch Support

From everything that I've seen and felt wearing these shoes I would agree with all of those points. Overall it's a nice lightweight, casual shoe that you don't have to worry about getting dirty especially if you get the white ones like me. Now mind you there's probably a limit to that but they survived my digging in the garden so they've done well. Powered by Mom gives the Spirit DAWGS shoes a two thumbs up.

In my shoes

When you become a mom you realize you will be a primary mold in every aspect of their life.  You know that you will do everything you can to make sure that you offer them the best chances for success in life. I find it funny how then a little moment that we think to ourselves, how cute ends up reminding us of our responsibility as parents.  

The other night my daughter and son were playing in the closet when they decided to start putting on our shoes.  My daughter has always loved shoes and some days we change her shoes 3 times depending on her shoe mood.  She loves to pick out my shoes even if I can't really wear the heels on a hike, that she is trying to help is fun to watch.  So, when she started putting on my shoes and walking around other than thinking wow she is really good at that, I realized that I'm literally raising this little girl to grow up to fill my shoes, both literally and figuratively.  

Time to re-evaluate who I am to make sure they are shoes I want my daughter to wear.  Time to figure out what I bring to the table to decide what I want her to model. Time to decide what tools I need for her to achieve success in life.  After all, like any mom we want our kids to not only walk in our shoes, but have bigger ones with higher heels when the day ends (that's figuratively not literally.)

How safe is your home?

I found this article on Mom Blog Society about a new burglary trend and it seems like something all us moms should read.  Its about something called Burglary Bumping?  Have you heard of it?  It sounds pretty simple and something I wouldn't have thought about, I mean I have locks so I should be safe right?

Olive Festival!

I love exposing the kids to knew things, the fact that I love olives and wine is just a bonus. So, when the hubby sent me a link to the Olive Festival, my first thought was I have the best hubby ever (he isn't a fan of olives or wine) and my second was what a fun thing to do outside with the kids.  We planned for the afternoon on Sunday to head out after naps and got there at the end.  The kids still had a blast and I still got to do a little shopping!

We have been lucky enough to get a guest shoe review and giveaway!!  I love shoes and believe you can never have enough!  Since, I am a mom who runs a daycare being on my feet all day and often all evening means I think about what goes on them a lot!  I will stop the suspense and let you check out this review and giveaway!    

Fit Moms For Life Review

Is their a fit life after kids? For some of us, there is a struggle to have a fit life after kids.  I have been lucky enough to after two kids be smaller than when I first got pregnant but that doesn't mean I'm in as good shape health wise.  I needed a kid in the bottom to motivate me to get back into the healthy mind frame.  A little guidance on just how to do that never hurt either.

I don't just feed the kids at my house!

 I recently have become obsessed with growing a garden.  We finally have grass growing, which is an achievement from dirt in Arizona (thank you hubby).  Our citrus trees are finally coming back and producing good amounts of fruits.  Now, I have to find something to pretty up the place that will actually grow in this heat and this dirt!

I thought picking a paint color was hard!

Recently I found a few minutes where I could actually decorate my daughters room.  I had all her nursery stuff, but needed to decided how to decorate the walls and where to hang it all.  When they are babies so they tend to not notice if something is up and when you run a daycare by the end of the day you just want to crash.  The time came however for me to start looking at the walls.  The hubby approved a paint budget and off I went.

Helping others become Mothers

I love being a mom, even if their are times when it is stressful and I need a break, at the end of the day I would never feel whole again if I didn't have my little one's running about!  Because of this and others in my life who have felt the struggles of wanting to be a mom I like to help other bloggers promote their giveaways for conceiving tools and talk about infertility.  Infertility can mean so many different things and some of them can be helped with help from others like you or me.  One way we can help is by donating eggs!

French made easy Book Review

Today's world is a tough one.  Kids need more skills for them to succeed in the vastly melding world.  As mothers we have to have a constant eye on what they are learning and how well they are achieving the skills they will need later in life.  We will need to do what we can as parents to help our children grow.  One area the kids will need to have vast knowledge in is languages.  The business world has been international for a while now and it will only become more webbed as time goes on.  So, where does a non-bilingual mom start when addressing learning languages?  Why not with a book and the basics?
