Li’l Helper Bottle Holder Review

April 20, 2013 by Kat 18 Comments

Now that I am feeling better and haven't been so sick, I have been giving my new products that I received for my New Baby Gift Guide a try. The Li'l Helper is a very cool new product that was made by a real dad. It is not meant to replace mom or meant for you to leave your baby unattended but just to help mom out. I know that I have been sitting at the computer trying to work while also trying to hold Elijah and nurse. This would have came in handy for me so that I could finally PUT HIM DOWN. I swear the first few months of nursing I never put him down at all. Obviously I don't have a baby yet to try this awesome product out. … [Read more...]

Olay Fresh Effects Review

April 19, 2013 by Kat Leave a Comment

I will be the first to admit that I am terrible at taking care of myself. As long as the kids are bathed and have clean clothes and I can make sure that my husband never wears a navy blue shirt with black dress pants, I am doing pretty well. I don't even get to take actual showers very often. They are more like wash as quick as you can before a child, cat, or husband needs you. I love to have pamper days though and my husband tries to let me. It is so expensive to go to the beauty salon and get a facial though. So when I was asked to review some great Olay products I am pretty sure my skin cried out in glee. Not only did I … [Read more...]

New Baby On the Way

April 19, 2013 by Kat 1 Comment

I am sure everyone in the world knows that I am pregnant by now. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and I am as big as a house. Due to my husband and I not finding out the gender of the baby we haven't had a baby shower. However, we realized we had nothing for the new baby because I passed all of our older son's stuff down to my nephew when he was born and my sister passed all that stuff down to her sister-in-law when her son was born. So here we are days before the new baby and we have nothing planned. We are having a shower this weekend for the little things. People in my family have been complaining from week 20 when we told them we … [Read more...]

Demon Book Blast & Giveaway Demon When Justyn and Rebecca set off for the New York School of Performing Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true.

Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her sights set on Justyn.

April 8, 2013 by Kat 82 Comments

$100 Restaurant.com Giveaway Its summertime in the city.... Come on, you know you started singing it and I wish it was summer. It is finally actually spring around here and we are having 60 degree days. In fact it was 70 yesterday so I was pretty happy. Largely due to being able to wear flip flops. One of my favorite things to do when its the just right kind of weather is go out with the kids to the park and then out to eat at a nice restaurant. I spent the winter cooking every night so it is only right to be able to go sample some of the great restaurants around Birmingham, AL and surrounding areas. So my mom and I decided to … [Read more...]

Having a Blast with Nuk Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker

April 5, 2013 by Kat 9 Comments

I was about 7 months pregnant with Elijah when I was first asked if I was going to make my own baby food. It is not that I didnt realize people did that since my family is pretty broke and I have seen many a cousin or aunt whip up some food for the baby and mash it to pieces. It is that I didn't realize how much thought went into it. I looked online and people had these super expensive baby food making systems with tons of accessories and cookbooks. I was entirely too overwhelmed to even try and so was my husband. This time around I said I would do it and I will. Luckily, even though its only been a few years, baby food making is … [Read more...]
