 (Review and giveaway)- Two Good Scents  Sugar Scrubs These days I'm feeling very pregnant. So when the chance comes along to pamper myself, I'm definitely up for it. We can all use some pampering from time to time. :) I was contacted by Nancy over at http://www.twogoodscents.com/. She kindly offered to send me some of her products in exchange for a fair review of the items I get. No other compensation was provided for this review.  I received my products in a padded envelope stuffed with decorative tissue paper.  The containers were well-padded to protect the plastic containers.  After opening up the package, I took out the sealed jars, which had a professional look along with cute labels.  I opened each of them, one at a time.  My initial reactions were to the scents of the scrubs.  My personal favorite was the blossom scrub, which was reminiscent of a nice, clean, soft, flowery soap bar.  The others I received w...

“What day is it?" It's today," squeaked Piglet. My favorite day," said Pooh.”  ―  A.A. Milne Lately, life has treated us well. On the Fourth of July, we made our way to the park. There was live music, food, and beautiful fireworks filled the night sky.  Lately, the sunsets have been beautiful. With this heat, I normally make my way outdoors in the evening.  -Watering, pruning, and happy to see new plant/vegetable growth in my garden.  I haven't baked much lately. My sweet tooth comes and goes. Recently my husband made some fresh salsa. He added in cilantro, habanero, jalapeno, lime, and a few other spices. It's a quick snack. A snack that goes well with a glass of sweet tea.  Lately, I've been kicking my feet up and relaxing more. My pregnant body is constantly changing. I'm no longer able to put off going to the restroom while we are out and about. This week I'm entering 30 weeks. Goodnes...

“Come with me,' Mom says. To the library.  Books and summertime  go together." ―  Lisa Schroeder ,  I Heart You, You Haunt Me And crafts, of course! We've been spending our time at our local library. It's been filled with reading, crafts, and lots of fun presentations. We recently met a miniature horse. The children gathered around giggling and smiling, ready to meet this miniature cutie!  They set up stations around the library. Some were combing, petting, and feeding the horse. Others are taking turns with the lasso station.  They even set up an area for photos. It was a wonderful experience for all.  Inside, we worked on crafts. Glue, paper, jewels, markers- it sure was fun.  Do you visit your local library often?  What events do they offer at yours? :)

It's summer, and boy has it been heating up! This weekend we stayed in. We joined in the baby's room and painted as a family. Our daughter helped with excitement. We played some music and chatted about our plans for when her little sister arrives. Before we painted, we had a buttercream-light yellow color on the walls. It was a color I chose during my husband's last deployment in the Army. Of course, with a toddler, painting took two full days. In between, we snacked on kettle corn and oranges while watching a movie. With this heat, I've been watering my plants early morning and later in the evening. After our time spent painting, we all freshened up and enjoyed a nice dinner. It felt so nice to sit and relax. Our days were simple. Teamwork at its best! I'm happy to say we finished the painting. How did you spend your time this weekend?

Little things. Sometimes it's the little things that warm our hearts the most. A good morning kiss. A simple hug. A gentle smile. A listening ear. A shoulder to lean on. Simple reassurance. An unexpected phone call. A small gift from a loved one. A walk through a field of flowers. An evening spent blowing bubbles with small ones. Bonding with your children. A nice cuddle with a special book. Capturing everyday moments with your camera. A simple hello. A smile from a stranger. Helping someone in need. Preparing a dish for your family. Reconnecting with an old friend. A bouquet of fresh flowers. Alone time.-Clearing your thoughts and feeling refreshed. A stroll through nature. Morning sunrise. An evening sunset. A hot cup of tea/coffee. These little things warm our hearts. Reminding us that we must take time to enjoy them. Take time to notice, rejoice and simply live for the moment. Today take time and notice these little things around you. Ref...

Sunny days. - Kite  flying - Outdoor play - Robot crafts - Planting seeds - Gardening -Trips to the library -Making music It's been hot! Honestly, the temperatures here shouldn't bother me as much. After living in Arizona for so long you would think I could handle Colorado temperatures. -Pregnancy in hot weather has been tough!  -I'm dealing though. I make sure I'm staying hydrated and cool on hot sunny days. On sunny, breezy days we enjoy our time outdoors. Lately, we have enjoyed our time flying kites. Our daughter enjoyed her first time flying a kite on Father's day weekend. That day the sky was clear, there was a gentle breeze and everyone seemed to enjoy their time at the park.  I'm spending evenings out in our backyard. Gardening and pruning plants. I replaced my last strawberry plant and this one is actually producing strawberries. Currently, in my vegetable garden, we have three different types of peppe...

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” ―  Albert Einstein Quick and easy lightbox This weekend we created a simple and easy light box for our daughter. She has a big imagination and always wants to create new things. We took a plastic bin and drilled a hole in it. This is for inserting the plug through. At the store, I picked up a few bulb lights along with other items. Gel clings and glow-in-the-dark stars. At home, I gathered some clear stones, red vase gems, and a few other items we had around our home. We had a blast with our simple lightbox. . We'll eventually make our daughter a bigger light box, one made out of wood. For now, she's enjoying this simple lightbox! Pin for later
