White Cloud Sleep Pants: A Great Night Sleep for a Great Value

Thursday morning I woke up to get Connor ready for school and myself ready for work.  When I went to wake him his entire bed sheet was soaked.  Somehow during the night he had leaked out of his diaper and onto his bed.  Frustrating to say the least, especially when you’re in a hurry to go somewhere. 

I got him ready and stripped his sheets.  Then we were off for the day!  Connor is pretty much potty trained now, except for the occasional accident.  He still wears a diaper or pull-up to bed though.  He has some trouble at night, and that’s okay…..he’s doing a great job so far!  D7K_1445

We recently tried White Cloud Sleep Pants.  They worked really well for Connor and the best part is they are an affordable $7.75!  Buying diapers & pull-ups can add up over time and become a major expense. White Cloud Sleep Pants’ great value and extraordinary performance give you an excellent choice when caring for your children that have bedwetting issues.  White Cloud Sleep Pants can help provide exceptional comfort and leakage protection to your children while also enabling them to have confidence while dealing with bedwetting issues by looking like underwear.  White Cloud Sleep Pants offer thin, discrete absorbent protection for your child. They have soft, stretchy sides that fit like real underwear, plus leak guards to help protect against leaks. The soft inner liner is hypoallergenic and treated with vitamin E and aloe for skin protection.D7K_1446

White Cloud Sleep Pants offer a great value as well at just $7.75 a package for either S/M (15 count) or L/XL (12 count) and are available exclusively at Walmart.

Sometimes Connor can get so upset with himself when he has an accident, and it hurts my heart as a Mom to see him upset because he feels like he failed something.  The less he has accidents and the more he wakes up dry….the more confidence he builds.  That warms my heart and White Cloud Sleep Pants don’t empty my wallet either.  That’s a win win in my book!

Get Your Groove Thing On: Start the Morning Off Right

Folgers “Favorite Part of the Morning” Campaign Did you know I LOVE coffee? Shocker I know! It’s true, I cannot tell a lie. I can’t go one morning without my coffee fix. I used to hate coffee, but once I started drinking it little did I know it would become one of my favorite things….like ever. Gulp. Sometimes Terence will wake up and make us coffee before I get out of bed. That is an extra special gesture, he is speaking my love language when he makes coffee for us. Most mornings we are frantically running around trying to get out of the house. Terence usually wakes up first, then me, then we wake Connor and get him dressed. After we’ve all showered and look presentable for the day we are out the door, coffee in hand of course! There is something about the aroma of coffee brewing in the morning that is nostalgic for me. Even when I didn’t like the taste of coffee I loved the smell of a fresh brewed pot. Coffee is a way for me to escape and enjoy some “me” time and helps get me going at the crack of dawn. I’m sipping my coffee before I even hit the road. There’s something about having my morning coffee that takes the edge off of DFW rush hour traffic. Or maybe it just allows me to be more aware of what’s going on. Either way, I have to say my morning isn’t complete without my coffee fix. We pump up the music in the car to “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and we are on our way to start the day. Hey that rhymed!

On Saturday mornings one of our favorite things to do is sleep in, make our cups of coffee, then turn the speakers up really loud and let Connor have a dance party. He is quite the dancer I must say! My husband is obsessed with music and pretty much any chance he gets he’ll rock the house out. True story: One week before Connor was born he was in the attic installing surround sound in our living room. Saturday morning dance parties are one of the highlights of my week. Sitting on the sofa, listening to music, watching Connor dance his little 3 year old tootsie off. I love it. We have many videos of him dancing and someday we’ll show his girlfriend what great moves he had. *wink* *wink* Regardless of how you drink it, coffee brings something to everyone’s mind. It’s been around for years. My first memories of coffee were at my Grandparents house early in the morning, before Papa would leave to go work the farm. He loved to listen to Johnny Cash. A song does the same thing, it brings back memories….who you were with, where you were, what you were doing when you heard that song. Perfect combination if you ask me? Coffee and the perfect song = good times and great memories.

Connor is really into cartoons right now, and watching a movie is extra special to him.  He really really gets into it.  We’ve had NETFLIX for probably about 3 years now, and it’s been one of the best investments we’ve made.  We stream NETFLIX live through our TV and it’s incredibly easy to use.  I’m technologically challenged and I can do it!  If you have a young child then you know variety is a GREAT thing.D7K_1455Read More

Throw Back Thursday {Link-Up}

This little nugget makes my heart swell….and my ovaries.  I can’t believe how fast the past few years have flown by.  Everyone tells you that.  They say enjoy every minute because the time will go by so fast.  When you are in the midst of sleepless nights, feedings, and spit up you some how forget to take that advice. 

But then a few years go by and somehow you’ve forgotten all that biz?  Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about having another child.  I swore up and down that I wouldn’t even consider it.  Especially not anytime soon……

But….he’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done.  He’s the ultimate gift God has ever given to me.  When the time is right and maybe if/when our hearts change for another dumpling.  Lord willing….before my ovaries are prunes…..just maybe we’ll have another???
