Kayden Speech Therapy Update

It's been about 4 months since Kayden has started speach therapy through the government. We got a call at the end of August for Kayden to start speach therapy again. Kayden speach therapy is different than private speech therapy, because it's government funded you don't get an appointment every single week and it's not consistent. What I mean by this is, he gets speach therapy in blocks of 6 weeks...

Stay at home mom Schedule

This is the first year I got to participate in all things back to school, I went back to school shopping,  pack lunches for school and have to wake up a four year old that doesn't want to wake up at 7 a.m. . A lot of people asked me before school started whether or not I was going back to work. The short answer, no. It's not because I'm lazy, or I feel as though I shouldn't have to work...

How we grocery shop once a month

I love doing groceries. After having Kayden, I feel as though my time is restricted. Kayden is in speach therapy, he just started junior kindergarten, and he does activities on the weekend during the fall and winter months. I feel as though, lots of parents can relate to me, we just don't have enough time on our hands. As you all know I currently use Walmart grocery pickup service, and it has been...

Coconut Oil saved my skin

What they say is true. Your skin can change over time. When I was younger my skin was dry. Abnormally dry. I could never put enough lotion on my skin, to make the dryness go away. As I got older my skin completely changed and I became oily. About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with having a sun allergy, at the time, it felt like the worst thing that could have happened. I loved being in the sun and...

Going Green

I never thought I would go the natural route. To be honest, I didnt completly understand it. It wasnt until I was watching a vlog on youtube, that it got my attention. They mentioned that they didnt like the chemical-y smell of regular cleaners, and I thought 'Neither do I!'. Since having Kayden I have definitely started cleaning more, and trying to make better choices for the family. I hate the idea...

Our Journey with Speach Therapy

i am like every other mother. I dont want to beleive that there could potentially be something wrong with my child. Kayden was on track for everything, and in some aspects he was faster with certain milestones, so me and his dad didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It wasnt until a year and a half we started to see his speech slow down, and closer to Kayden turning three it started to pick up...

Maybelline New York FitMe foundation Review

why is finding a good foundation so difficult? It took me years before I found one that I couldnt live without. But if you know me, you know I barely wear foundation. Being a stay at home mom, my days consist of being makeup free and wearing comfy casual clothes. But on the weekends, we are out and about, and have friends  popping over. And who wants to wear a $48 foundation...

Air Wick Freshmatic Life Scent Review

Let's be honest. No one likes a smelly house. And no one wants to visit a smelly house. A few weeks ago we were at Walmart and we decided to visit the air freshner aisle. We usually do grocery pickup, so for us to browse to aisles, is a big thing. We came across Air Wick Freshmatic and we reminisced about another version we had, by Glade. We couldn't find the refils for the Glade...

Getting Kayden Ready for JK

first day of school can be scary. Especially if you are starting school for the first time in your life. Kayden has been at home with me for 3 years, and will be starting kindergarten right before his 4th birthday. as parents, we want to make the transition to kindergarten as seamless as can be. we have been working with him to become more independent, stepping up the potty training...

Branded Survey's Review

i did a post a few weeks ago, about ways to make extra money and receive free products. I recently discovered a new survey site, which I have been using for about a month now, called Branded Surveys. how it works Like most survey sites, you fill in your basic information and you give some background information. They will send you a survey invitation in the mail, which tells you approximately...

Valentine's Day with a toddler

Valentines Day is just around the corner. Like most parents, Valentine's Day has changed for Curtis and I. We have never made a big deal about it, since Curtis isn't a big fan of the holiday. Instead I have used this day to eat some indulgent meals. As Kayden has gotten older, Valentine's Day has become special. We always get Kayden tons of chocolate and some extra goodies. Lately...

Sephora Lip Luster Review

we all know how convenient online shopping is. you can do it from anywhere, anytime of day. I had recently run out of my makeup setting spray and had to purchase a new one. Sephora is my go to place for makeup. of course the item i wanted was sold out, so i had to settle for another bottle. And, I also didn't meet the $50 for free shipping. So i headed over the sale section, and browsed. there is...

No More Naps!

I feel like it has been so long since i did a mommy post. I have been reviewing so many beauty products, that i started to miss writing about being a Mommy. I did a post awhile ago about some of the troubles i was experiencing with kayden. One of the big issues was his sleeping. He would always take his nap, but he would never sleep at night. It was frustrating and exhausting. I never got any...

Olay 4 in 1 Water Activated makeup wipes Review

Taking off my makeup is one of the best feelings in the world. Don't get me wrong, i love makeup, but after having kayden i don't wear it as often, but one thing i have always love doing is removing my makeup. I have always had a love hate relationship with makeup wipes. The first one's that i tried was the Neutrogena all in one wipes. I tried two different types and i wasn't in love. It...
