A FREE VACATION?

Hopefully the wet days are over and the sun will take over. The next few days will be warm, dry and sunny. Spring has sprung its wings ready to take off in the wind. Each day summer is getting closer and closer. Its time to start thinking about a great vacation that we could take our kids to. A vacation where we all can enjoy the same activities together. We have never been to Florida and I have only heard wonderful things about places to do and go in Kissimmee. Lots of fun outdoor activities, water parks, restaurants, festivals and events, shopping, theme parks, golf and many many more. How about if I tell you that your vacation could be free? Yes, you read it right, Kissimmee is giving away:

• 3 weekend getaways for 2 people (3 days/2 nights)
• 2 week long vacations for 4

All you have to do is enter the Kissimmee Sweepstakes and that vacation could be for your family. A vacation would be a great but when we could get it for free, that's just super!. Right now, I'll start planning what our itinerary would be. As parents we always make sure our kids have a blast so we will probably head on to an outdoor activity first that includes sightseeing and a day at the park. Going to a Theme Park where the oldest can have her choice of adrenaline pumping rides while the little one can settle for the simple rides. The water parks since both our girls love the water and of course something for Me and Ralph maybe a little luxury activity. Winning that week long vacation would be awesome. Don't forget that drawings will be held on or around 4/1/09, 5/1/09 and 6/1/09.. We still got a chance to win, enter now.....

POOP STORY

I decide to trim Kayla's hair yesterday when she came home with a little bit of gum stuck to the tips of her hair. Her hair needed the trim anyways. So off we went to have a bath with her sister of course in tow. I washed Kayla first while Kaitlyn played in the tub with her. After I was done putting tons of conditioner and washing out her hair I let her stand outside the tub. I filled the tub up with a little bit of water so Kaitlyn will keep playing and not disturb us. While I was trimming her hair Kaitlyn would interrupt whining wanting the hair out of her fingers and I would of course get the hairs out. I kept trimming Kayla's hair when all of a sudden Kaitlyn kept saying eyew!! so many times and from the corner of my eye I could see she was handing me something. I turned my head to look and take whatever she was handing to me with disgust in her voice and face. To my shock she was holding her POOP!! I screamed and I was so frazzled I just cupped my hands and told her to drop her poop on my hands. I turned around and drop the POOP in the toilet. I then proceeded to drain the tub, watch both our hands and frantically smelled her mouth for fear that she might have put her poop in her mouth. Thank God I did not smell anything in her mouth. Kayla was laughing so hard and so was I after that incident. Kids are so funny, they make life interesting.

Whats your kids poop story? Care to share it?

SONGS FOR OUR KIDDOS

One of the best thing that ever happened to me was giving birth to my daughter Kaitlyn. She and her sister Kayla has become the center of our lives. Its really true that when you become a mother, a parent you do anything and everything for the sake of your children. Children not only need love, care and attention they also need material things to nurture them mentally, brings out their individuality,personality and talent. Kaitlyn my youngest is turning 18 months in a few days and she is already showing her love and enjoyment of music. Every time she hears music she dances, she also tries to sing along with us. Even at the mass over this holy weeks she was dancing at church. Looking for music that is appropriate for kids of different ages is not easy. Its important that both girls will be able to enjoy and listen to the music. With 150 Fun Songs For Kids finding the right music and all the popular songs is easy. Songs you can download at a very low cost that is already formatted in MP3 and can be played on any Ipod or MP3 players.I'm definitely looking into getting the girls the whole digital album so they can dance and sing along to the music anytime.

EGG HUNT AFTERMATH

After our successful egg hunt the fun did not end there. The kids did not want to go home yet so they decided to have a banging good time in our backyard. They spent more time in the sandbox than anywhere else. Ralph did good when he built that sandbox for the girls. Even the little ones stayed in the sandbox most of the time and only got out to get on the tire swing. They also loved playing catch and just running around. Kids have so much energy while we the adults were tired just looking at them. Our house is the place to be, the place where every body like to hang out. That is actually fine with me so I can keep a close eye on my girls.

DREAD NO MORE

One of the perks I love about being pregnant was the fact that I don't have to endure the dreaded monthly cycle. I dread that time of the month since it always bring company named back pain, cramps, bloating and headache. It's been over a year and a half since I gave birth to my baby and that means more than a year of dreading that time of the month. Since Ralph and I are planning on having another baby very soon I hope it happens, It got me thinking about C’elle how they are finding ways to cure some diseases and disorders. Menstrual blood has been found to contain adult stem cell that is to the likeness of bone marrow. It can be harvested safely, pain free and stored. The adult stem cells found in menstrual blood can help treat heart disease, diabetes, for anti-aging treatment and other diseases. If your also thinking of how your menstrual blood can help you one day check out the About Page for more information and benefits it can have for us . As a parent I would like to get this done, this is also for my protection and for my family. In this day and age everything seems to be possible and the cure to any disease could be at hand. Check out the Order Now Page and have that safety net for your life.

LET THE HUNT BEGIN

April 9, 2009 was a nice cool day. We decided to do the Easter Egg Hunt for our girls and there friends that day. As soon as Kayla got off the bus she was so excited and asked her friends to hurry to her house to do the egg hunt. We started the hunt shortly after 4 p.m and the girls had a blast. Even Kaitlyn the little one didn't get left behind. She got some eggs as well. Its a good thing we have such a big yard. It wasn't important who got the most eggs, they were sharing. All in all it was a perfect day with no melt downs from any of the kids.

IN OBSERVANCE

I will not be doing my usual drops today April 10 in observance of the GOOD FRIDAY. I will be back on Black Saturday. Thank you

WALK WITH ME

It was beautiful outside earlier, comfortable enough for me to have a walk with my husband and youngest girl. We decided to leave the house early to wait for Kayla at the bus stop. While Ralph and Kaitlyn waited on the bus stop I took the opportunity to do some walking and get a little bit of exercise going. I have totally let myself go and I loathe doing exercise. Besides doing routine exercise can be so monotonous and boring that you loose interest. Walking or be it running is one of the best and safest form of exercise for me. It helps with my cardio, tones my muscles and help burn calories without really even trying. Besides looking at this photo made me realize how big my derriere is and how out of shape I look. Today with the help of BeeWell Miles I have started my walk for a purpose, to help raise awareness to breast cancer. For every mile you walk or run they will donate $0.15 to Breast Cancer Network of Strength to support those who are in need. If I could run or walk 2 miles for 5 days a week until October I will roughly make around $36 to help support the cause. Knowing this is for a good cause I will also rope in my MIL so she could also get on with her exercise to build strength to her knees. I know it may not be much to some but every little thing goes a long way. Partnered with good eating habit I will be doing myself a ton of good and finally get on the road to being healthy.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY (HELLO???!!)

IN MEMORY

A couple of months ago my grandmother's older sister and best friend passed away. She was my grandmother's constant visitor and they always stay in touch and tell stories. Lola Loling was the funky lola with so many funny stories. She used to laugh so much at my jokes and she loves collecting jokes as well. She had a notebook full of jokes and would right down anything that she that was funny. It was a devastating blow to my grandmother when her sister died, I to was devastated and sad. Death has a way of showing us how vulnerable and precious life is. With the death of a loved one we try to honor and remember the memories that they left behing by making sure they are taken cared of when they are laid to rest. What better way of honoring them by having a cast bronze plaques to mark there grave with a memory. Its never to late to start thinking about what grave marker you or your loved ones want. Its important that they have something that will last and stand by any weather. For more information on grave markers and plaques visit BronzeMarkersAndPlaques.com today.
