The Miracle MusicMath System {Review}

The Miracle MusicMath System Review

There is no doubt that my child loves music. He has to have a lullaby playing at night in order to sleep and up until recently the only parts of cartoons and children's shows that would catch his attention where when the characters were singing. Because of that, I was sure he'd enjoy The Miracle MusicMath System. This system is a one of a kind set of CD's that are designed to help your child's development. The music is intended to be played in the background while your child is playing throughout the day. The first day I turned it on, Sawyer was instantly interested. He has sense grown used to the music and doesn't pay much attention to it now, but it's still working to help with his brain growth and development even if he's just passively listening. The science behind The Miracle MusicMath System is perfectly sequenced tunes that help to stimulate a little one's brain. The … [Read more...]

VTech LS6475-3 Multitasking Phone System {Review} – A Great Mother’s Day Gift Idea!

vtechphone

Being a work at home mom and having my toddler with me all day, multitasking is pretty much one of my best skills. However, sometimes there can be so many demands coming in at once that even I cannot handle them all. For the solution, I look for ways to cut corners and make my day easier. When it comes to making and receiving calls, the VTech LS6475-3 Multitasking Phone System is a HUGE help. I was excited to be able to review this system because I spend some of my day on the phone. It's mostly with my mom, who calls to chat even when I tell her I'm working or a little busy, but still...I need something that can make it easier for me. It's difficult to try juggling a telephone, a 19 month old, and whatever else he wants me to also hold at that exact moment. The VTech LS6475-3 Multitasking Phone System features two handsets to make it easier to get to the phone. In the past, … [Read more...]

Get Comfortable with Nature’s Sleep Slippers {Review}

slippers

I am not much of a slipper wearer, but the reason for that is I can never find a pair that are truly comfortable. A pair that make me miss them when they are not on my feet. Usually, I'd just soon walk around in my shoes than have to pull out my house shoes. This is all changed though, since I was able to review Nature Sleep Slippers. These shoe are the ultimate in comfort. Seriously, they are so squishy yet supportive that I wish I could wear them all the time. They do make my feet a little warm every now and then (it is almost Summer, after all!), but when my feet are a little chilly they are perfect. Before I received the slippers, I would huddle under a blanket on the sofa in efforts to get my feet warm. Not now. I also like the color of the Nature's Sleep Slippers that I received. They have a few other colors available, but since my favorite color has always been blue, I … [Read more...]

Boundless Nutrition {Review}

perfectfit

Being in the process of trying to eat better and lose weight, I like to sample a variety of healthy foods, especially those loaded with protein and other important nutrients. Therefore, I was excited to try Boundless Nutrition's products. Boundless Nutrition is a family owned and operated business based in Austin, Texas that currently sells bars and cookies in a variety of flavors. For my review, I received an assortment of Boundless Nutrition's products. In my box were three Perfect FIT Protein Cookies and four OatMega 3 Wellness Bars. The first thing I noticed when looking over the protein cookies was the important health information listed right on the side of the package. I always like when brands include this info, as it makes my decision easier when choosing healthy snacks to supplement my meals. Each of the Boundless Nutrition cookies provides me with 150 calories, 10 … [Read more...]

Choose Healthier Snacks with Snikiddy {Review}

Snikiddy Review

When it comes to snacktime, we like to choose healthier options so that Sawyer doesn't always want unhealthy junk food. Sometimes it's nice to have something other than fresh fruit or veggies to serve . Snikiddy snack products are a good alternative for snack that are much healthier than other choices out there. Hearing about this product for the first time when I was sent a coupon to facilitate my review, I immediately liked the name. The name is apparently a shortened form of the word "persnickety" which means to be picky. That completely explains my son at this point in his young life. He is going through a stage where he doesn't want to eat most veggies or fruits. So, Snikiddy snacks are a good solution. For our review, we tried the All-Natural Grilled Cheese Puffs and Barbeque Baked Fries. Snikiddy also offers a line of Eat Your Vegetables chips, but our local store didn't … [Read more...]

Tips for WAHMs: 4 Time Management Tips

Time Management for WAHMs

Time management can be a difficult goal for a work at home mom to achieve. With so much on your plate, from working, taking care of the family, household chores, and finding time for yourself, many struggle with finding a balance for it all. I struggle with it myself, though it's a lot easier for me now that I have been working at home for several years. At first, however, it was really hard. I wasn't sure that I would ever be able to get everything done and really enjoy myself when at home. I felt like I needed to be in front of my computer at all times - and sometimes when I was there, I'd stress myself out more because I'd procrastinate on Facebook, Twitter, [insert any other fun site here], etc. rather than actually working. Over time, I have acquired some tips and ideas that have really helped me with my time management skills. I still get overwhelmed and complete things right … [Read more...]

Making Together Better

bricalogo

When I think of the best times of my almost 28 years, they always involve someone else with me. My favorite life moments are never something that I have done alone. This is especially true of the past six years, when I finally met my Mr. Right and, one year later, when we decided to become a family. Since then, we have added a third member to the family, and before him, I never realized that being together could be so much better. It's crazy how much love your heart can hold once you become a parent. His father and I had lots of fun before, but it was nothing compared to this. Our little monkey has made all of our "togethers" better. In the past 19 months of having a child, if there is one thing I have learned, it's that making together better isn't hard. It doesn't have to cost a fortune and it doesn't require a great deal of hard work. In most cases, no matter how much effort … [Read more...]
