<span id="" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">With easy-to-use snap closures, elastic leg openings and a fitted design, these ultra-absorbent cloth diapers are a smart, stylish choice for little ones to sport under a waterproof diaper cover. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they're thickly woven for softness and durability to suit Baby's needs. A rear pocket opening allows for a prefold to be inserted for maximum absorbency and the fold-out tongue design speeds up drying time. Coming in red, orange, yellow, green and brown, these organically dyed diapers are great for nighttime wear too!</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20.390625px;">MAny of you know I am a die hard cloth diaper user. Well, usually I use pockets this time around and I do get alot of leaks. I always wanted to turn to fitted diapers with either a wool wrap or even a simple cover. I just could never get my hands on a fitted diaper that I really like. When I recieved the Smitten diaper I was so excited. I got a bright orange color and it was SO SOFT. I threw it in the was for a prepping and was in love. It dried very fast which is a must have. There is a pocket in the rear to add even more absorbancy which for long car rides or overnight is a must have. I recieved a small and its a perfect fit for my 14pd 6 month old. Although I probably should have gotten a medium since that would have lasted alot longer. so far this is my go to night diaper and I really do love its absorbancy.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The UGLee Pen, an ergonomic pen, is good for everyone who writes (even just a grocery list), and is especially helpful to people who experience pain and discomfort when writing, for example those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc., and for all children who are learning to write and are developing fine motor skills. It is also helpful for special-needs children who find holding a pen or pencil properly difficult. And for high-school and college students who have to take copious notes, this pen helps keep hands and fingers from cramping.</span><br />

I work at a desk and have a pen in my hand all day long. By far, this one is so<a href="http://www.ugleepen.com/about-the-ultimate-grip-pen/"> comfortable</a>! I no longer use the office provided pens and I keep my Uglee pen hidden far from anyones reach. I wish I recieved on in red since thats the color I most use but besides that this is awsome. They have a jelly like grip and my fingers never get tired. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Warmze is the #1 rated travel bottle warmer according to TopTenReviews.com. </span><a href="http://travel-bottle-warmer-review.toptenreviews.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0069d6; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr>travel-bottle-warmer-review.<wbr></wbr>toptenreviews.com/</a><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">One self-heating warmer will conveniently heat several different bottles throughout a day-no boiling water, no metal disk to click, no running to car for car charger, no electricity, no batteries or microwave. In just 30 minutes you will have a perfect tepid bottle (90-104 degrees) the temperature recommended by Pediatricians. It works for breastfeeding moms that pump (thaws frozen milk) as well as those that have to use formula. </span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The non-toxic, biodegradable warming wraps are air-activated and last for up to 10 hours or 3-5 bottles per one warmer wrap. The bottlesoc is re-usable and helps keep baby dry by preventing leaks and allowing the large cotton ruffle to wipe dribbles.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I am a breastfeeding mom and I have a stash of frozen milk in the fridge. Recently we left early one morning and I knew my daughter would miss her morning cereal. Well, I was able to use the Warmze to that and warm my frozen breastmilk and she didnt have to miss her feeding. This is a very good product to use for air travel or all day excursions!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I got these to review with my up and comming <a href="http://www.educationaltoysplanet.com/35years.html">3 year old</a>. At first she just kinda threw them around the room and looked at them but after me sitting with her teaching her the sounds and the picture and how they all go with the letter she has really begun to enjoy learning time with mommy. These are not like the flash cards you find in the dollar store. They stand up to toddler tantrums and even baby drool!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This book was written with the hope of encouraging mothers to have conversations with their daughters about topics that are very important but are often difficult to discuss.</span><br style="background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: #edeff4; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">After reading it, hopefully daughters will be encouraged to go to their mothers, aunts, or other female relative and ask these sometimes “hard questions” and hopefully, mothers will be encouraged to initiate conversations (even if uncomfortable at first) that will answer these same questions for their daughters.</span><br />

Do you have a baby ready to walk? Are you TIRED of bending over to hold their hands to help them along the way? Well now you dont have to! There is now the Juppy.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The Juppy "Momentum" is a solution to a previously recognized but unsolved challenge for parents of babies beginning to walk. Babies strong enough to begin walking but not strong enough to walk alone. The Juppy builds confidence in your baby and teaches balance while you maintain your natural posture, eliminating the grueling task of hunching over while teaching your baby to walk. The Juppy has easily adjustable straps that accommodate your height whether you are 4'11" or 6'11". The Juppy comes standard with soft hand grips that are strategically placed to provide optimum benefit for your hands; a color matched state of the art zipper is located at the rear of The Juppy for the purpose of safety, easy access and exit. You will find two Velcro straps that overlap the back zipper which again shows our commitment to providing you the safest and most practical baby walker on the market. Unlike traditional baby walkers The Juppy is a parent assisted baby walker which eliminates all of the dangers of walkers with wheels. The unique design eliminates the problems associated with similar products for example other parent assisted walkers do not have the crotch piece which is essential in keeping your baby from involuntarily lifting its arms. No more falling down stairs or reaching for dangerous objects because The Juppy requires your assistance at all times- One size fits all (baby weight not to exceed 35lbs). Made from 100% cotton that is machine washable.</span><br />

I was fortunate enough to recieve a <a href="http://paciplushies.com/">Paci Plushie</a> animal from Nookums to review for all of you to read.<br />
The Paci Plushie comes with its own pacifier, but it is detachable. We use MAM pacifiers in my house and its great that we didnt have to change our style of paci just to use the product. The rubber end just grabs right onto your pacifier.<br />
my 2 year old LOVES her little dog. even when i detach her paci during the day (we are TRYING to wean her from it) she still plays with the dog. Having a Paci Plushie makes finding a pacifier to much easier too! At night when i am half asleep and groggy, i dont have to search so hard, i just feel for the dog and we got it :)<br />
My only gripe was that they didnt fit the newborn MAM pacifier well. I think the top to the newborn sized paci was just too small and her paci plushie would just pop right off. Thats okay though, as she grows she will be able to use it.<br />
We also recieved a <a href="http://paciplushies.com/products/peekaboo-penguin-chillies">Paci Chillie</a>s to try out. I can not WAIT for my 2 month old to start teething and to use this. I mean no one likes to hold onto something ice cold, now she can hold her paci plushie and use the teething chilled ice pack. It also doubles to make those bumps and bruises all better! We have used it as an ice pack already too!<br />
Over All these are great adorable products. They have a whole line of profucts to choose from. I think my 2 year old could use a <a href="http://paciplushies.com/collections/all/products/lovie-lamb-lovies">Lovie</a> which has lavender scent to help calm those who need it.<br />
Everyone needs to go over to <a href="http://paciplushies.com/">Nookums</a> and check out their products. These will make great baby shower gifts, new baby presents, and just a simple beacause i love you gift for your own little one.<br />

See Mother's Day is approaching, a special day for us mothers, a day we can celebrate because of our amazing children. <br />
Many mommy blogger are posting with what they want- <br />
- day without wiping an ass - <br />
<br />
One day your child will wipe yours!<br />
<br />
- day to hang out with girlfriend and get drunk on laughter and bloody <br />
My children and their laughter is better than any girlfriend or drink<br />
<br />
Breakfast cooked for them - in someone else's kitchen<br />
Sorry but some of my best memories are made in my own kitchen!<br />
<br />
I could go on but what's the point. I'll share what I WANT for Mother's Day<br />
<br />
1. I want to know my children are happy, and for them to stay happy<br />
2. I want them to be healthy, and to enjoy being healthy<br />
3. I want them to feel secure secure In who they are and who they become<br />
4. I want to know I am raising confident kids who won't step down for anyone<br />
5. I want to know I am raising compassionate careing children who will always be willing to help<br />
6. I want my children to be well rounded human beings, educated in more than one thing<br />
7. I want my children to not be scared of trying new things, and even failing at them<br />
8. I want my children to make mistakes and learn from th<br />
9 I want my children to make memories with each other, siblings will be your best friend for life<br />
10. I want my children to know How much I love them, how much they mean to me. I want them to know how much I appreciate them for making me the mom I am today.<br />
<br />
I don't want to spends Mother's Day at the spa, or getting my hair done, I want to spend Mother's Day with my children and my husband, making another memory together. After all it's my day that I can celebrate because of themMelissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15232425093227229688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792691402037400359.post-58108632016325485842013-04-30T19:23:00.001-04:002013-04-30T19:23:48.849-04:00Homeschooling joyNow that the weather is nicer homeschooling is really having its perks. School work outside, longer days for the kids to play like kids, special trips to the park, swim lessons at noon and the list goes on!!! Did I mention bonding with their little sisters?? I look at all the time they wouldn't be spending together if they were in school. Truly special these kids!!! I feel so blessed<br />

Not only is he home all day with 3 girls, but he really steps up as a big brother. He is always watching out for the 2 year old Cecilia. He is always there even telling his big sister not to do things that are dangerous. Now he sits with open arms day and night wanting to hold Adela. He begged me to pump just so he could give her a bottle. It was so sweet and he was so proud! I'm so glad I have just the one boy, there is something special about a son that I can not even explain. He won my heart in his own way. I try my best to raise a strong confident boy but time will only tell. <br />

Hopefully one of my readers could help. I have a baby that's suffering from really painful gas. She is exclusively breastfead. I mean I cut out the gassy foods, i have tried the gas drops, so bicycle kicks and nothing helps. <br />
Anyone have some alternative methods. I've read to try gripe water??? I've read to cut dairy oit??? Can't imagine that!!!<br />
This is the 4th baby and so far my most difficult!!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15232425093227229688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792691402037400359.post-22798114426712275722013-04-04T08:34:00.001-04:002013-04-04T08:34:56.585-04:00Adela Kendall Birth Story<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">Ill try to keep this to the point </span><img alt="" border="0" class="inlineimg" src="http://img.diaperswappers.com/images/smilie/smile.gif" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #462947; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Smile" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">My toddler was hospitalized on her 2 year birthday with an "unknown" illness. I was 37 weeks. We were transfered to a children's hospital, she had spinal taps, cat scans, there was brain tumor scares, lethargic toddler who couldn't wake up, couldnt go to the bathroom, couldn't walk....so much was happening in that week i am surprised i didn't go into labor then. It was an emotional roller coaster. all in all, SHE IS FINE!!!!!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">We came home on a Sunday night and everything was great. We had our toddler back. I went to the Dr on Monday and was 2cm 60%. Everything was wonderful and calm again. I took my older 2 to soccer camp all week. I came down with a killer stomach virus and it was so not fun. I tried to eat, but the cramping was horrible. I made sure to keep my fluid intake up, but still it was horrible gas pains and diahrea. sorry TMI</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">On Friday I woke up with some real deal contractions, down in my pelvis. They weren't terrible, but I KNEW that this was the day. It was just that gut feeling that lets you know, your having a baby today. I "prepared" the house as if I was not comming home. Left the kids easter things where DH could easily get to, made sure all dishes were washed, packed the older 3 an overnight bag and put the alarm on. Off to soccer camp.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">I sat it the car for those 6 hours of camp with my 2 year old. I was contracting every 20-30 mins. Then every 15-20 mins. I couldn't eat still from the stomach virus but drank at least 5 bottles of water in that time. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">I called DH can told him today was the day. it was happening but I needed to get walking or it wouldn't be happening. SO after camp we went to DH work and I dropped DS off. They were comming about every 7 mins and painful. I took the 2 girls to Target and WALKED. Yep, drank water and contracted there every 5 mins apart. GOOD TIME! lol. after target DH was still working so My SIL and her family took me and the kids to applebees. by the time we were there I was contracting every 3-5 mins and it was even more painful, but bearable. I called DH from Applebees and said its time, he had to come get me. (My kids were going to my SIL house anyways, so she drove my car and her DH drove her kids in their car)</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">We got to the hospital around 7pm. I got in the horrible bed and continued to contract every 3-5 mins but just breathed through them, never made a sound or a fuss. after "I HAD THIS"</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">the nurse told me baby was a little too sleeping and needed to give me an IV with sugar water. This was all because I hadn't eaten all day and was dehydrated. OOPS!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">I requested a "suite" so i could labor in the jacuzzi. They transferd me there. After the IV baby perked up and I got the okay to get in the tub. After the fluids my contractions were more like 7 mins apart. i got in the Jacuzzi at 9pm exactly. The Jacuzzi felt great. I remember how much I loved it with my previous birth. The hospital only allows 30 mins in and then back to monitor for 30 mins. So after i relaxed for 30 mins In the HOT water knowing each contraction took me that much closer to meeting my last baby. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">When my time was up i stood up to get out and suddenly felt them coming one after another. still i never made a sound just handled each one as it came. I got in the bed and the dr came in to check me real quick before she went to do a C-section. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">I was a stretchy 9 with bulging waters. i looked at DH and said "its go time" She knew she was going to deliver me first. She had the hardest time breaking my water but it was eventually broke. this was at 9:45.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #462947;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #462947;">I began pushing and that's the only time i verablized anything. Got the head halfway out and the dr had me HOLD so i could stretch naturally. i remember saying JUST GET HER OUT! head was out, pushed out the shoulders and felt the rest glide right. out. AMAZING! </span><br /></span><br />

Here's the rundown<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Bella</span> - flying through CLE math 202 and LA 202. not sure if i should just have her take the test in these and move onto 203 light units. I mean this is ALL review and if its new she gets it right away.....<br />
geography and citizenship is moving right along. She loves learning about the statue of liberty and the flag and everything that goes with it. I cant wait till we go to the statue this spring/summer, since last year it was closed when we went.<br />
Her cursive is so natural and she is just "getting it"<br />
gymnastics her first competition is going to be March 3. She is excited and nervous all in one. i mean the girl JUST started taking rec classes 6 months ago and just blew through them and is now going to compete level 2.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Lorenzo - </span>We are up to lesson 12 in CLE math 102. I slowed down now that we are doing place value so he really has a good grip on math. He is natural in it, but I want to make sure everything is set in his brain. besides he is 5, whats the point of rushing!<br />
in OPGTR he is up to lesson 47. I spent Thursday and Friday making sentences as review from all the blends he has been learning. We will move on to the next lesson on Monday. Again I am not rushing through this, I think its important for us to move at his pace<br />

<span style="color: blue;"> </span>AAS we are up to step 8. Super easy for him as its just the short vowel spelling. We start blends soon and that will be "newer"<br />
<br />
We started to work on our Elemental Science this week. All about plants. Bella LOVE LOVE LOVE making the lap book. We are working through it fast as she is interested and engaged in the lap book. This is a great science for k-3, its light yet concrete. Also if you have a crafty child like mine, its prefect. I look forward to more of these science lap books when this one is complete!<br />

<br />
I could not shout it louder or say it more. THIS is what I want.<br />
<br />
Belle is such a start student. I have to admit, not a problem given. She thrives to learn, its in her blood. We are doubling up lessons in CLE math and CLE Language arts since alot of it is review. Although she never learned what a fraction was such as 1/4 or 2/3 that was new to her. Of course she understood the concept so fast and we moved on. She took a spelling quiz and of course got 100%. I decided to give her the CLE test for both math and LA for 201 and she got 100 on both so we are moving ahead to light unit 102.<br />

<br />
<br />
In geography she is learning more and more about the different maps and keys to a map. She understands direction and which way she has to go to get somewhere.<br />
<br />
Her newest learning is cursive. She has been ITCHING to learn and now that she was home with me I figured why not. She LOVES it and practices all day. We don't have anything specific for now to learn on and I have a feeling we wont need anything, she is picking up quick.....<br />

Lorenzo is well, a 5 year old boy. I understand WHY so much "coloring" is done is PS kindy now, ..... the attention span is SHORT! But, he is doing amazing. We are up to lesson 42 in OPGTR and he is decoding beautifully. Its funny how different kids learn to read, Belle would sound out the words out loud where he sounds them out in his head and then says them.<br />
I have started writing the sentences on a white board from OPGTR and that really makes a difference. To see them bigger I think helps alot. He leared about -ck endings and beginning blends.<br />
I'm trying to speed math up for him. We are doing CLE1, and doing 2 lessons a day. He already has these beginning math facts memorized, and writes his numbers so neat. I have a feeling he is going to be a math kinda kid. Doing 2 lessons a day is alot in CLE, there is alot of writing but we are getting done and once new concepts are taught we will drop it down to just 1.<br />
AAS he completed step 5. I love AAS. I really think it helps with the reading too. Its quick and painless and gets done. plus the whiteboard.....the kids love that thing :)<br />
His handwriting isn't horrendous so I only make him do a page from HWOT. I might drop HWOT once I get the ETC workbooks for him....<br />

We SLOWLY started SOTW but I am going to be making the lap book for it with them. I'm waiting for my laminater to arrive for us to REALLY start :) This coming week we will be starting Elemental Science Lap book for Plants. I am so excited!<br />
<br />
We have been using out library to the fullest. The kids went for art 2 times this week. Their favorite was pillow making.<br />

They also read to Millie a special dog that lays there and lets the kids read to her...I guess its suppose to build their confidence.<br />
<br />
I have yet to find a groove for little miss toddler. I mean 21 months is a rocket age. She is such an awesome kid. For now there is alot of leapfrog movies on for her during school time. Then there is her siblings playing. I need to get moving on making some Busy Bags for her...I do feel like they wont keep her busy for long though!<br />
<br />
Today we are meeting another local homeschooling mom and her kids for lunch. I look forward to connecting with someone from the area that home schools!<br />
<br />
As for me. I am beat. There is alot of mental exhaustion that I don't think people realize from homeschooling. The preparing, and grading, the entertaining a toddler and then on top of all that the regular SAHM duties such as cleaning cooking ect. This is a whole other post coming this week!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15232425093227229688noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792691402037400359.post-28834941123839430562013-01-14T14:39:00.001-05:002013-01-14T14:39:13.103-05:00Recess!!!Seriously can it get better than this??

As excited as they are to be homeschooling, it was still somewhat bitter sweet. My daughter said seeing her desk completely empty made her sad. Kids from class made her cards saying good bye. MY son was given tons of hugs from all the other kids in their class.<br />
<br />
I know this is the right choice for our family, right now, this moment in time. I mean its something we have been discussing for a long time......and we all decided parents and kids, it was the right choice.<br />
<br />
I have lots of goals other than educational for the kids now that they will be home ALL the time :)<br />
<br />
I want to build their confidence in WHO they are<br />
I want them to cherish each moment together with one another<br />
I want them to live each moment for what it is, us together, learning, playing and growing.<br />
<br />
I do hope i don't loose my cool on the hard days, but instead learn to breathe and let it go. I'm sure there will be days when NO ONE wants to work, and that's okay, ill figure it out as we go.<br />
<br />
Nervous,<br />
Excited,<br />
Scared,<br />
<br />
YET OH SO HAPPY! My kids make me so proud everyday, and I have always had a hard time letting them go for 6 hrs a day. Now they are home, they are safe, they don't have to worry about being made fun of, or being cool, or looking their best. They can be in their own skin and feel proud.<br />
<br />
I hope to embark on the journey with many followers here, and I hope to get comments and encouragement from all you seasoned homeschoolers!<br />
<br />
Now its time to go work on my IHIP!!!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15232425093227229688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792691402037400359.post-77034022555120507132013-01-09T17:19:00.001-05:002013-01-09T17:20:39.565-05:00Nothing like ....Homemade crayons to inspire a toddler <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKA5uNrsbM1QO2UcW5968BOBCXfjuFnqa7qTj-NYXrBkDfJjVWzchymHTWqJOIzeSpjmf6qXhW3EtzNlLJG5oeNwZDsl1tfbigJz4AvmpXYV-4G2kT_5yqeps7HJ6lHXQA-FW9VHqqYL9_/s640/blogger-image-218228534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKA5uNrsbM1QO2UcW5968BOBCXfjuFnqa7qTj-NYXrBkDfJjVWzchymHTWqJOIzeSpjmf6qXhW3EtzNlLJG5oeNwZDsl1tfbigJz4AvmpXYV-4G2kT_5yqeps7HJ6lHXQA-FW9VHqqYL9_/s640/blogger-image-218228534.jpg" /></a></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15232425093227229688noreply@blogger.com0
