Pampers

So it's been a hot minute since I've posted. I honestly haven't had time to post much but this post will be a review. I love trying new things and I love reviewing new things. I do this because it's something fun to me. I don't get paid for my reviews I receive this samples to do reviews and most of the samples I've received I actually enjoy and have proceeded to purchase after my trial stuff runs out.

This review is on Pampers Cruisers. I received these from Influenster. I absolutely love this site because it introduces me to new items that I have never even heard of or gives me a chance to sample things I've seen but haven't purchased because I am unsure if I'll like it.

Anywhoozle. This voxbox I got was a pampers box. It contained some Pampers cruisers. Now as a mom I'm always looking for good dependable diapers. Especially after experiencing blow outs and now with baby number 2 on the way. I started my daughter in Pampers swaddlers and I adore those best diaper I've used hands down. I've been afraid to try the cruises because I just didn't think they'd do as well as the swaddlers. Well I was proven wrong. These cruisers are amazing for my ever moving toddler. Everyone who has had a child or even been around a child you all know what it's like when the diaper gets full and starts to sag. The cruisers definitely do not sag like other diapers. My daughter had one on for 2 hours, during nap time, and had that thing fully loaded and by glancing at her you never would have guessed how much was in that diaper. Also, they hold the stank of the tribe and or poop much better than any other brand I've tried, with the exception of the swaddlers. These are definitely something I will be buying in the near future for my toddler and will most likely but the for baby number 2 as well. Cheers.

Have a fantastic football Sunday!!

More influenster gab

Okay so me blogging about free trials is something new to me. I am a member of influenster, so far I've gotten some awesome stuff. I got my Mary Kay Clearproof vox box and recently I got a Reeses Spreads vox box. Now I am going to say this, I do love Reeses, but I'm not a huge fan of any chocolate spread other Nutella...Until I got sent this vox box. It is delicious. Beyond delicious. I ate it with so many things I forgot to keep track of my creations. It goes with fruit, it goes with waffles, it goes with just about anything. My favorite creation was the plain Teddy Grahams dipped into the spread. Oh my gosh. Now I need to gather my thoughts and figure out what I can bake with it, because I had no idea you could bake with it until my exit survey. All in all I suggest going and buying it. It's a good treat for you, your kiddos. Its a nice sweet treat that doesn't go bad quickly.

*note this trial was complimentary from Influenster for review by me, all of my opinions are my own.

Mary Kay

So I joined this awesome site www.influenster.com and I got lucky enough to receive a Mary Kay #voxbox! 

Now I've used Mary Kay in the past and have had bad luck with their face washes. I have stupid sensitive skin so I was super nervous to try their new Clear Proof line. I followed how they suggested I use it and the first week it was amazing. After that it lulled. While it kept my oil production down, which is awesome for how oily my skin is, it didn't clear up my skin like I thought it would. But alas I would still reccommend the product for those with oily skin like myself because it helps so much. It aslo helps get an even application of makeup and prevents it from runnin.

Overall I give this product a 7 out of 10. Helped but not like I thought it would. Still a solid product though.

SAHM Rambles..along with unicorns.

So I decided that  I should start blogging more. I mean I did start a blog to get my inner rambles out. So why not put this thing to use.

Some days I think "hey I can write a book about my life" then I start thinking and my thoughts never seem to come out straight. I guess thats what happens when your mind goes a mile a minute. You never really get the chance to stop and think. Between being a mom, a wife and a full time employee life gets choatic, to say the least. It's something I wouldn't change. Although I would love to be able to stay at home again with my little monster. So maybe one day in my journey I will be able to stay at home again. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever want to be a stay at home mom until I was one, then I wasn't.

Being a stay at home mom is a full time job, yes, but it isn't as hard as so many women make it out to be. Yes your day revolves around cooking, cleaning, and chasing your child(ren) but is that really that hard if you sit down and think about. After being a stay at home mom then returning to the work force I really look at all these women who take advantage of their time they spend chasing their child(ren) around.

Something I am very grateful for was being able to stay at home for the first 6 months. I never missed a first. I never had to leave a screaming infant in the care of a stranger. I never had to worry. I never had to ask myself is my baby okay? If you are one of the mothers who go back to work after 6 weeks I admire your strength because I honestly don't think I could do it.  Maybe I am a little selfish for not wanting to miss a first or not wanting to let my child be comforted by a complete stranger in time of need. I still don't like the idea that I am not being able to spend these recent moments with her. She is growing and learning so fast and I feel like I am missing out on so much.

Being a stay at home mom is a gift. It is a gift to you and to your child(ren). To be able to enjoy the little moments with them that most parents these days don't have the opportunity to get. With the rising cost of life it's difficult to be able to afford one parent staying at home. It's sad but true. But I don't really want to go into that subject because why try to battle the inevitable?

Whew, I guess there is a lot more on my mind than I originally thought when I started writing this blog. Now my brain has run out of juice. I guess that is what happens when you read things from idiotic women such as "a rare albino unicorn" Aren't all unicorns rare and albino?

With that being said I think my add is kicking in and it is time to for me to bid the blog land a farewell. Until we meet again.

Well this blows

So I totally had a whole bunch written out and of course I click something and POOF it's gone. Lame sauce. Oh well I will start over.

It's been a while blogland. Since March 24 to be exact. Well y'all obviously know I moved...well I think so. But anywho it's been a ride at this stupid place they call a townhome. More like an apartment with 3 floors. For reals. I hate it and I cannot wait to move. It's a little surprising I would say that after moving 5 times in under 3 years. Enough sad, bitter Sam about her housing situation. I am just thankful I have a roof over my family's heads.

Now I was working as a hairstylist since I moved back in December. That's all kaput. This damn company killed my joy in doing hair. I have never worked somewhere, where I loved it at first and within a few months hated it so incredibly much. It is the company through and through. So I chose to find another job and alas I did. Where did I end up you ask? Well doing something I never thought I would do, ever. Car sales. Well kind of. I do internet sales. I have worked my booty off these past couple months and I could not be happier with what I am doing. I enjoy coming to work, well most days. You know we all have those days where we ask "why do I need to go to work today?" Those are far and few between now though. In the two months I've been here I've sold a total of 30 cars. That's right 30. Not to shabby for a newcomer. Hooray. Alright enough about work.

Life. Life is wonderful. Other than housing. But that's besides the point and we already covered that base. My little lady is almost 15 months old now! I can hardly believe it. She is a walking machine, almost running. And boy does she talk. I have my hands full she is one smart little lady. She starts her first day of real daycare tomorrow. I'm nervous. And excited. And terrified. I'm not worried about the home daycare itself I am just being an overprotective mom. She's never been anywhere else but with family, so this is new for the both of us. I hope she isn't a little brute. It'll be good for her though. While I like the home daycare I chose I am still hoping that my friends mom decides to start doing it again. That way my little monster is close to nana and papa and grandpa if something serious happened. I mean she's not going to be far now but she isn't going to be two minutes from them if need be. That's okay momma calm down, she will be fine.

Okay so my mindless rambling is becoming quite obnoxious. At least to me. Until next time.

Peace out home slices.

I'm a little behind the power curve.

Whew it's been almost a month since I've posted. It's crazy how fast time goes as you get older. 
Man, nothing new really in this mommas life. Well actually thats a lie. We moved. Finally. It's so nice having our own space back. Although we have like a quarter the amount of cabinet space we had before. What can we do? Yeah nothing. 
I'm enjoying life for the most part, just exhausted. You know the usual of a full time mommy and stylist. My papa has surgery tomorrow so A and I are going to go hang out and wait for him. That's cool though A's cousin and auntie will be joining is for a bit. Well this momma is going to bed.

So it's been a while

Holy moly it's been forever. I guess that's what happens when you're a working mom. I also started a pretty sweet Facebook page with a woman I've never met but have become good friends with over the past 3 years. 
Let's see anything exciting? Nah not really. The usual is going on. Work. Play with baby. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. We're house hunting. Well hunting a for a place to rent. The 80+ mile round trip is getting old fast. And hard on our bodies and family time. Ugghhhh. I hate moving though. 
Anywho, nothing else exciting is going on. It's too early for the witty side of my brain to work. Maybe I'll post later.
