Kidzikoo review and giveaway!!! (ENDS 7/7)

The Kidzikoo is a new way to insulate you child's cup in style.
This neoprene koozie for kids is just what I've been looking for

The stats:
Keeps drinks cold or warm longer
Machine washable
Fits most 8-12 ounce cups
soaks up that nasty condensation on you child's cup
keeps little hands dry

With 5 fabulous print choices you are sure to find one your child will love.


We received the Kidzikoo in the Lucia Print (owls)
Not only is it cute but it comes in a cute package that anyone would love as a gift.


The Kidzikoo fits on both style of cups we own.

Now that we have the kidzikoo we don't plan on going anywhere without it. I love that the Kidzikoo is a cute and useful product. I no longer worry about taking milk in the car for my little girl. Anything that makes a happy baby makes for a happy mommy!

Father's Day!

I knew Father's Day would be hard for the kids but what I didn't realize is that it would be hard for me.

First thing this morning my son wanted to call daddy.

But with the time difference we had to wait a few hours.

Once we got a chance to talk it was only for a minute because he was training.

I don't know why but I couldn't get myself out of the funk I was in.

I spent most of the day in my PJ's.

Ate junk food and watched sappy shows.

Now that I have had my time to mope it's time to move on to the next challenge.

I know this was the easy one.

We still have birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

SmileBooks review, giveaway (3 winners) and free 8x8 photobook! (6/30)

Smilebooks - Get a free photo book
I recently had the chance to review an 8x11" hard cover image wrap photobook from SmileBooks.

With my hubby gone photobooks are the perfect way to document our memories so he won't feel left out.

 Now that I have found SmileBooks I will no longer be spending $100's a year on printing out pictures.

With a large selection of book sizes and themes you are sure to find something that will fit your budget.

You also have the option of designing your own or letting them do it for you.

I let them design mine and am in love with the book I received

Here are a few pictures of my book to give you an idea

 I love the colors
 Hard cover with my title on the front and side

The craziness I call life

Craziness isn't even the way to explain my life.

Recently I have bitten off more than I can chew.

With the hubby gone I have wanted to stay busy.

I have succeeded at that but have lost all of my "me time"

My blog has been unloved for a few days but no worries I am back.

Priorities are back in order and blogging is one of them.

Now on to the good news.

It's official my hubby will be home for a week in July!!!


For your viewing pleasure here are a few pics from the past few days.

Things are getting easier!

It's been almost a month since the hubby left.

Even though I miss him like crazy we are finally settling into a new routine.

At least for now while he is in Cali we can still talk and text everyday.

The web cam on his computer is broken so no Skype yet :(

Hopefully that will be fixed soon.

I made it through the Memorial Day BBQ and am very proud of myself.

The kids all had a blast and even I enjoyed my self.

Pics to come soon.

Great friends and keeping busy (not to busy) have been a lifesaver.

My little boy has even made a new friend whos daddy is deploying with ours!
