Ulubulu Giveaway!

I have a great giveaway in store for you all today!  Ulubulu is an awesome company that makes silly bibs & personalized pacifiers.  They also have several more great products that can be found here.
“Designed with safety, function, style and affordability in mind ULUBULU is becoming a major player in the baby products industry.  All of our products are tested for safety so parents can have piece of mind and we only make products our own children would use.”
Connor LOVED this bib!  We tried it out the other day and he’s been wearing it ever since.  I put Cheerios or Goldfish in it and he wears it around the house or while eating.  It’s great because I can put the snacks in the bib itself and he can grab them and eat….and if he drops a few it doesn’t land on my floor because the bib catches it!  I LOVE THAT!
 See how easy it is for him to feed himself?
Also included in the giveaway is this adorable “My Mom Rocks” pacifier 🙂

 We use this bib every day for snack time & dinner now 🙂

Ava the Elephant Giveaway!

Terence and I love the show “Shark Tank” on ABC.  Last year we saw a product we both thought was genius!  Tiffany, a contestant on the show created a children’s medicine dispenser called “Ava the Elephant“.  Tiffany was kind enough to send us one to try and also sent one to giveaway to one of YOU! 

Our family has had several bouts of sickness this year and Connor hates taking medicine!  This is such a great product and makes taking medicine not so scary for babies and toddlers.  I would highly recommend it to other Moms & thank you Tiffany for dreaming up such a wonderful idea!

Here is some info on Ava the Elephant :

  • What kind of medicine is she used for?

Ava is perfect for ANY liquid medicine and even liquid vitamins!

  • What if my baby/child doesn’t respond to AVA at first?

I have found that using a little of their favorite drink… milk, juice, whatever works for them…and using Ava when they are not sick can work WONDERS! They will then associate her as a good/fun thing instead of fear!

  • What ages respond well to Ava?

We have found through much research that any age child can enjoy Ava. Small babies smile instantly at her sweet face and like to use her ears as handles! This gives you a chance to dispense the medicine mid-smile! Toddlers and older children really like Ava counting down to opening up! And of course her praising them at the end is always nice!

  • What does BPA & Phthalate-FREE mean and why is it important?

Bis-phenol-A is a hormone-disrupting chemical considered to be potentially harmful to human health and the environment. After cancer turned my life upside down I was determined to find out exactly what I was using on myself and family. It is equally important to me that your child does not use a product made with harmful plastics.

Here are Connor & I demonstrating how it works 🙂

Nice Day for a White Wedding

I got up early this morning and I did watch the royal wedding.  I didn’t get up at 4 am, but I rewinded my DVR and watched it on the Today Show.  It was lovely and everything I thought it would be 🙂

Kate’s dress was awesome.  I think she picked something classic, unlike Diana who looked like she was wearing a down comforter, I think her dress will be one for the ages….

 So sweet 🙂
My child has been throwing tantrums lately….
 Can I just say I don’t like this phase AT.ALL.
 The blood curdling screams are just crazy!!!
 Okay….all better now…..

 I love you baby boy…..tantrums and all…..

I’m not the best cook.  Last night I decided to make hash brown casserole because Bonnie said Jarrett loves it.  Well….Connor….not so much 🙁  Terence and I ate it….but it didn’t taste as good as Cracker Barrel.  I wonder if I missed something?

 For dessert : CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES
Breakfast.  It’s good for dinner too 🙂

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Sno-Coneheads

Summer is upon us 🙂
Terence and I passed a couple sno cone stands last night and I couldn’t resist!  I am an ice queen, an ice cruncher, ice snob….if you will…..  I love Sonic ice and I love QT ice.  Just don’t give my plain old cubed ice!  Ha..ha…
I got the wild cherry flavor and Terence got a Dublin Dr. Pepper one.  They were both delish, but we did get a little bit of brain freeze! 
Connor saw the upper GI specialist today and he’s just fine.  Nothing to worry about, we just have severely picky eater and a major gag reflex going on!
So glad tomorrow is Friday and excited for the Dallas Blogger Meetup!!!

 I even got a gummy worm on top 🙂
It’s the little things in life isn’t it?
