I’m a bad friend! I haven’t been around much because I’ve been so busy with my job search. It’s a shame because I’ve had so much stuff to share with you but so little time to do much. I purposely stopped today to take time to write about something adorable though.
Those that know me and have been following this blog for years know that I have a background in dentistry. I worked for a doctor for 3 years before staying home with the twins. Well, I’m trying to get back into my passion and I’ve been interviewing at many offices. I found one I really like on Wednesday. It’s an orthodontics office. The staff was great and I felt really good there so hopefully I get that job.
I figure this blog entry needs to be dedicated to some teeth so I found some cool denture soaps that smell like peppermint from LoveLeeSoaps. They are made with moisturizing shea butter and can be used for both bath time and washing hands. These soaps have the soft scent of peppermint added that makes them smell fresh and sparkly clean! This set would make a great gift for all ages or even something special for yourself!
Spoiled Royal Girls
Jul 1st
Every Wednesday night I have a special dinner with my girlfriend Crystal. She’s a stay at home mom to 2 month old boy girl twins and a 2 year old little girl. Her husband is a project manager for a large local corporation and works in California so she doesn’t get much adult time. I can count on Wednesday’s as a good time because we like to let loose with a few drinks, do some heavy girl talk, and just hang out.
Last night we headed to Red Robin for dinner and then off to the casino so spend money I didn’t have. Crystal knows this local casino. I’d never really done slots before so it was exciting and fun. We grabbed and beer and headed to the penny slots. I stuck my 1st 20 dollar bill in and bam! I won 72 dollars! I can see how that would get seriously addicting.
At Spoiled Royal Girls I found a cool slot machine tile pendant in honor of my big win and first casino experience. Right now you can buy 3 pendants and get 1 for free. Happy shopping!
Snuggy Baby
Jun 25th
It’s finally summer in Washington state! Too bad it took until the end of June for the sun to make an appearance. The kids and I have been busy all week long trying to find activities to wear them out. Yesterday we went to a local state park that’s right on the Puget Sound with our friends and walked the scenic loop for exercise. The kids brought their scooters and I pushed my friend’s 30 pound 2 year old while she pushed her new born twins. It was up hill baby! I wasn’t sure if we were going to do it considering both of us were pushing 50 plus pounds with the strollers included. It was hilarious! What a workout.
Today we’re thinking about heading to our brand new splash pad. Well, if the clouds burn off we are. It’s a big one and the kids will be be sure to get wet. The problem is, what do you do with all the wet clothes when we’re finished? No fear! I found Snuggy Baby! Snuggy Baby carries wet bags! Wet bags are the perfect solution for all kinds of messes. They have a waterproof liner sewn inside to keep your mess from growing. Just throw you messy or wet clothes into the wet bag and you will keep from contaminating everything else. Then throw the wet bag and all into the laundry. Such an easy solution for mothers on the go!
Wet bags are a must for cloth diapers, diaper explosions, potty training accidents, and messy clothes. They are also great to throw in a gym bag or take to the beach for your wet, sandy, or sweaty clothes.
Ouch Pouch
Jun 22nd
My boys and I have become accident prone. I’m not sure what the deal is. It’s like the clouds went away and the sun came out to play and now we’re all cover with scrapes, blisters, and bruises. On top of it all the kids like to change their band-aids 12 times a day so we go through those babies like crazy. Then of course I go on my 6+ mile walk the other day and come home with my huge blister and there’s not a band-aid in sight. I need my own stash.
Then I found a company called the Pillow Sew Cute. They make this product called the Ouch Pouch. The Ouch Pouch® is an original handmade, eco friendly, reusable First Aid Pouch. If I had one of these hidden somewhere like my car or purse I wouldn’t have to hobble out to a drug store to get a band-aid for my own war wound. I love this idea. Just fill it with everything you need on the go and stash it in your car. Fabulicous!
Sew Gracious
Jun 15th
Tomorrow is the last day of school. I’m freaking out a tad bit because it means that my house will be in constant chaos. The twins came home from school today and unloaded a years full of stuff they collected at school onto my living room floor. I was less then pleased. I’m going to need to figure out a way to make this house organized all summer long and I’m going to need to figure this out quickly.
Low and behold my good friends at Sew Gracious have these cool fabric organizer bins. They are perfect for the family room, bedroom, media room, bathroom, childrens room, nursery, by the backdoor, filled with baby gear or diapers for a shower gift. Basically, they would work for just about any room in your house all the while making you look stylish and chic! I would love to have a few of these to hold my magazines for the living room or for the kids room to hold all their cars and small toys that get lost easily. Such a great gift idea too!
