#QueHeads Oven Gloves Review

I don't know if you are like me but once July hits, I tend to try to make things last until the Christmas season.  Some of my things can end up looking pretty cruddy, I am ashamed to even admit to the scraggly nature that I will let things go to in order to put them on the want list to give out, or the deals list to get for myself when those awesome deals hit.  Its just sad.

I have had 3 babies and one thing I noticed was that a lot of traditions have been lost on the process.  People still have baby showers, but now their are sprinklings for the children past the first.  People still send balloons or flowers when the baby is born, but less hands on help or casseroles are delivered.  And their isn't much congratulatory celebrating of the father once the baby is born.  While I think their is always room for new traditions, sometimes it is nice to visit traditions that have been forgotten or a little less practiced.

Seriously, I drink less coffee now as a mom than I did when I was working.  This could be because the hours I'm working are kid driven, but still more normal than the one's I used to work at the hospital or even my post graduate jobs.  Course at the hospital and after I worked evenings and nights.  It wasn't until the last outside the house job that I worked days and then I picked up all the hours I could after that, so coffee was a lifeline.  Thank I became pregnant and had to give up the coffee ghost.  So, I started a new habit Tea.  Now that the kids are born and running about my habit has become a mix of tea and coffee.  No matter the habit I still need something to put it into!

Black Friday!

Black Friday is most mom's superbowl.  We spend all year prepping, watching deals to make sure we get the best, putting cash aside so we can afford the things we want without putting debt on the family, maybe going to the same stores so we can manuever through better since we are familiar with the layout, and then collecting those Wed adds that we go through comparing and planning our driving schedule to hit the sales and get what we need.  We will stay up or get up at ridiculous hours just to brave the cold only to sweat while we juggle shopping carts or multiple boxes fueled by sheer will and caffeine.  I love the deals and hate the rest, but what else can you do?  Some of us will be able to pull double duty and shop online while we are in line.  Check out these Black Friday Deals!

Skinnaturals Review

I hate shopping for skin products, there are so many choices.  Then, having to find something natural means standing in the skin section reading labels forever, and I just don't have that kind of time. Probably why I look for these things online.

Shoulder Buddies Review

My kids are always looking for new toys.  Ones that can attach to their bodies are even better since they can show off other skills or play to their little friends. 

Flower Bouquet Review

I love flowers!  I love even more when companies utilize local growers if possible.  The flowers do better in the environment since they were raised in it and it helps the economy around me.

Daddy Scrubs Tie Review

Father's Day is coming up and what a perfect way to let the Dad to be in your life know of their new Daddy status?  Chances are he won't realize what day it is when you present him this little box wrapped up.  It may take a minute to register what this little gift means to him, so have those camera's ready to capture the response to share, one day, with the reason for his excitement.   

Coconut Tea Sachet Review

Baby Shower, Bridal Shower, or Weddings all seem to involve the need for a special drink.  I'm so tired of it being the same boring alcohol or water and soda choices.  It's annoying enough if your pregnant to not even be able to take part of a portion of your own party, but to have to hold off at your wedding because of pictures, being a good host, and the cost of the beverages taking away from your dress is beyond frustrating   So, in looking for alternatives I came along my latest review!

Personalized Family Manifesto Review

It's about time for wedding/anniversary season, so why not give a gift of a different kind.  Give something for the house that reminds the couple or your spouse of the bond created by marriage.

ITO EN Tea Review - Spice Up Your Holiday

Who loves tea?  I do, I do!  I would love to find a few tins in my stocking this year as well.  Chances are however, after all the sugary treats and late night wrapping sessions I'll need a little something for my tummy.  So, I was excited when I got the chance to test out some tea from ITO EN!

Joy of Giving Review

I love books!  I love books for me, the kids, the hubby, a good book can drive knowledge, imagination, inspiration, and if it's a recipe book, dinner.  I'm very used to the standard type of kids books, a fun storyline, few words per page, and a good message.  This book has a fun storyline, surprisingly no words are needed, and a good message, but this book is different in how it was created.
