Smitten Cloth Diaper Review
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!
- Includes five cloth diapers
- Intended to be worn under a diaper cover
- Snap closure
- cotton
- Machine wash
- Ethically made in Pakistan
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.

Uglee Pen Review
This is the most ergonomic pen I have ever tried. I work at a desk and have a pen in my hand all day long. By far, this one is so comfortable! 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.

Warmze Bottle Warmer Review
Warmze is the #1 rated travel bottle warmer according to TopTenReviews.com. http://
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.
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.
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!

Educational Toys Planet Alphabet Flash Card Review
Involve your child in the joy of learning the ABC. School Zone Alphabet Flash Cards bring skills such as memory, listening, and movement into each fun-filled lesson. Children will get to know phonics and be able to connect letter sounds with objects: K is for Kite, for example. They will also learn that each letter is a symbol that can be memorized. Offer this colorful world of letters to your child today.
I got these to review with my up and comming 3 year old. 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!
These are a must have for your aspiring learner. Check out some more awsome products at Educational Toys Planet.

A Conversation with My Mother about Sex, Boys, and How She Married My Dad
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.
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.
I felt this was such a well written book. I have an 8 year old daughter and this definitially has shown me a way to start conversations with her. I have been very hesitent to do so, but now am much more confident. I would recommend this book to everyone with growing children,

Tandem feeding....
NEVER did I ever think i would tandem feed any of my children. Shoot 8 years ago I did not even think I would breastfeed any baby. But I did, and it was wonderful for 2 years. Then I had my son and he weaned himself after about 20 months. Now my 2 year old, nursed all through pregnancy and she is still going!!
I nurse the 4 month old on demand and 2 year old USUALLY just before bed....but do you think thats good enough for her?? NOPE. Adela sleeps better than her.
Has anyone had a 2 year old wanna nurse more frequent at night than a baby? share your stories!

Blue Juppy Baby Walker Momentum Review & Giveaway
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.
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.

Nookums Paci Plushie Review
How adorable are these Paci Plushies!! I was fortunate enough to recieve a Paci Plushie animal from Nookums to review for all of you to read.
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.
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 :)
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.
We also recieved a Paci Chillies 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!
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 Lovie which has lavender scent to help calm those who need it.
Everyone needs to go over to Nookums 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.

Homeschooling joy
Now 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

Makes me proud
My dear son makes me so proud. 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.

Adela Kendall Birth Story
Ill try to keep this to the point
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!!!!!
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
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.
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.
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)
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"
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

HomeSchool Check in - our week 2
Another wonderful week as homeschoolers!!! Here's the rundown
Bella - 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.....
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.
Her cursive is so natural and she is just "getting it"
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.
Lorenzo - 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!
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
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"
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!
In Art the kids made Winter Tree Water Resist pictures. They loved the final outcome of these!
