Tu-Tu cute

I hope that Little Miss Maddie can be in ballet or dance someday. I was in ballet and tap, and I loved it. I hope that I can win an adorable tu-tu from puddle hoppers. She make these for our little gilrs! She has many different colors and sizes and she is hoping to draw in some business. Go see the tu-tu's~ they are tu-tu cute. :)

Thirteen reasons why parents should get Tottoos~

1.Totoos.org creates customized child safety products that are designed to increase the chance for a lost child to be found, and decrease the time you and your child may be separated. Our safety products are fun to wear and will empower your children in a whole new way!"
2. Totoos Temporary Tattoos and "Be Visible, Be Safe" Glow lights are perfect for vacations, amusement parks, family outings, school field trips, shopping, and any other situation where a child may accidentally stray from you.


3. You can put these Totoos on your child if they have a food allergy.
4. Medical Tottoos can be used to quickly identify a wide array of medical conditions, including Alzheimer's, seizure disorders, diabetes, and severe allergies in any situation where important medical information is helpful to be displayed.
5. You can even include an emergency phone number for your doctor or a loved one so they can provide immediate assistance.
6. "Be Visible, Be Safe" Glow Lights are made from non-toxic materials and include lanyards so they can either be worn as a necklace or attached to clothing. Your Glow Light will glow brightly for up to 12 hours and protect your loved ones day and night! *This is great for an evening event where there are many people (ie. Sate Fair)
7. Biking: Use glow lights for older children/adults when biking at night to increase visibility on the road and to have an emergency contact number available in case of accident.
8. Skiing/Snowboarding: There is an increased chance for injury and for members of your group to become separated from one another while skiing or snowboarding. Use our glow lights to help keep you safe and connected when hitting those Double Black Diamond Ski Trails!
9. Hiking/Camping: Our glow lights can be a lifesaving tool on a hiking or camping trip for anyone who gets lost, sick, or hurt along the way.
10. Mountain Climbing: Our glow lights are a simple precaution to take before attempting a high altitude climb. If you experience altitude sickness or disorientation, your glow light will provide you or a fellow hiker coming to your aid with your emergency contact's information.
11. Tottoos are durable and water resistant, so you can use them at the beach or water park too! 12. One more layer of protection for keeping your whole group safe. Ideal for use on field trips, for sports clinics, camps, field days, overnight events, and whenever an activity takes your group away from your school or facility.
It is recommended that the chaperone's who accompany the children also wear Tottoos so it is apparent which adults belong with the group (and which do not).
13. Tottoos will last 12 hours or more (even up to a couple of days), if applied properly to clean, dry skin. We recommend, particularly with very young children, that you remove the decal when you're done with it so the skin can "breathe" instead of leaving it on for several days.

For more information about this amazing product, please visit Tottoos.org! DO you want to win a set of these to take precautions to protect your children? Or wear yourself, for medical reasons? Tottoos has graciously offered my readers a Basic Safety Set! Here are the "rules" to this contest:

Review: Answer That! Game

Nathaniel loves the 'Adventures of Odyssey' series. When I saw this game, I knew that he would be just tickled pink to play it! I know that he will easily know more that me when we play it, but that is ok.

Answer That! DVD trivia game is based on the last 20 years of stories and lessons from the Adventures of Odyssey series. You can listen and watch scenes on the DVD, race each other on the game board and answer trivia questions to see who makes it to Whit's End first! There are 600 on-screen questions, a Game Board with 4 paths leading to Whit's End, 76 trivia cards with over 450 challenges (Easy-hard levels), 20 Room of Consequence cards, 4 character play pieces, 1 die, and an instructional sheet. The Room of Consequence cards are cards that describe behaviors that are undesirable (ie, treating a friend badly) and you have to move back. I really like that you can have teachable moments with the kids during this game. I love that you can do different things with this game! You can take it with you in the car with the Trivia cards. You can play a quick round during the Lightning mode (DVD use only), and you can play with the game board for a game night. There are three trivia categories: Whit's Wisdom (Biblical references), Eugene's Questions (Multiple sources), and Connie's Character (Identify the quotes). This game incorporates radio episodes, book excerpts, song snippets, and clips from the Adventure of Odyssey's animated films. Nathaniel will love this game, and he will get it for Christmas! Digital Praise offers this, among other great games for the PC and DVD, that families can enjoy! They are Christian games that instill great family values.

"'Twas the night before Christmas"

'Twas the "Night Before Christmas" when all through the house...Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Pa was soundly sleeping, and I was out shopping. My money was in my hand-made purse (made by tsunami survivors in Indonesia) byLaga Handbags, and I got in line first.
I took off my Fingerless kitty mitties that kept my hands warm. Oh my, look what I found from my honey~stuck to the inside of my mitt was a bundle of money!
The Coffee shop was busy with people getting their coffee. I love the smells it totally excites me! I got the exotic set from The Mad Roaster Coffee, now I must hurry home to make some toffee.
Pa is still sleeping and I need some light, so not to disturb him I put a match to the light. I love the candles that Pa got me from Peter G Candles, they smell so glorious and they're safe to use in my home, and fit on my mantle!
Time to relax from the hustle and bustle, I settle in for a nice warm bath with my basket of truffles."

Please vote for me at Fuel my Blog! The end date for this competition is: 15th December 2007! So, please vote now! :) Thanks in advance~

Walmart

A few days ago I picked up a few necessities from Walmart: diapers, toilet paper, napkins, dishwasher soap, etc. I forgot my coupons for the diapers. I buy Huggies, and those are not cheap diapers. My kids have allergies to the cheaper brands and I am not able to use the cloth diapers (even though I think that is a super way to go) if you don't have the poop phobia like I do if you can. Anyway, the next day I brought my coupons in to redeem them. I had 2- $1.50 off coupons. I was so excited to save $3.00! I was told awhile back, from Walmart, that if I had coupons I could redeem them up to 2 days after the purchase date. Needless to say, when I went in and asked about it, the lady told me that it has to be the date of purchase! That was a bit frustrating. What topped it all off though, was the other clerk said while trying to be cute politely, "But your hair is cute!" What does that have to do with me not getting my money back?? GRRRRR...

Actions speak volumes!

Nathaniel has such a giving and sweet spirit. He was given $5.00 for a birthday gift from my brother and sister-in-law. Well, he tends to be a penny pincher at times (which is a good thing), and so I never know what he will do with it. However, he is a kid, and he can blow money, too!

We went to a train show a month ago. My husband loves trains! We even opened up a hobby store, and I will post on that another time. Anyway, Nathaniel bought him a few trains ~ with his birthday money. I thought that was such a giving spirit...He makes me proud!

Review: Dance Praise 2: The Remix

This CD-Rom game has fun, excitement, and exercise written all over it. You won;t even know that you are exercising, because it is really that fun! It has 52 Christian songs on it, 10 of them are "locked" until you dance through songs at a "hard" level. The songs vary in style from hip-hop to worship, pop to rock. What is really great, is the lyrics are on the screen so you can sing along. I love singing, so this is a great way to worship, too! There is a dance pad that you plug into your computer. You can put up to 4 dance pads with the game. Then, you just put in the CD, and start dancing! You can chose different backgrounds, create profiles for each person, select favorite tunes and play with continuous mode, all the while DANCING OFF THOSE EXTRA POUNDS! Christmas is almost here, and usually that means more insulation pounds added on. This is going to be under our tree for Christmas to help us stay fit for the winter. There is an improved exercise mode, which will record your progress as you dance off those unwanted pounds! It tracks time, calories, and weight lost!! Isn't that great? Each song has 4 choreographed dances. Arcade-style game - "DanceTris", the new "tetris"-style dance pad game gives you a new way to play on your dance pad. You can customize the play lists by selecting your favorite tunes from the games or Expansion Packs and name the list for future access. There is even a super-easy mode so the little ones can give it a try. Caleb will love this, too. I love hearing more Christian music, and dancing right along. Praising God, having fun, and exercising all in one! Thanks to Digital Praise my family can enjoy a great game with such great family values.

Nine Months....

I can't believe it has been nine months since I gave birth to my little Princess~~She is still a little peanut! She brings so much joy and laughter (especially now that she is really interacting with us). She crawls (speed crawling), pulls up to furniture,
crawls up stairs...falls down stairs, jumps, claps her hands,dances, giggles, growls (yes, she sounds like a doggie), purrs...(yes, we call her our little kitty), plays peek-a-boo, and knows when I give the baby sign for milk what that means. Happy 9 month birthday, Maddie~
