Wordless Wednesday~Baby vs Ham

Obviously Ham wins this one!

My Top Tips to Tackle Parenthood

You know it has been 13 years since I had a little one around and it kinda does come back to you and it kinda doesn't.  I feel like a first time parent all over again.  Everyone gives you advice of how to do things, and what will happen but nothing really prepares you.  Abd even with experience, every baby is different.  But I have some tips to maybe help you along the way and make things easier on you:
1)  It Takes 2-Team Work.  From the beginning, my husband and I have tackle the messes together.  Whether it is support, an extra hand, or a back up, he is always there. 
2)  Tag Your It-Take Turns.  You are the Mommy and he is the Daddy.  Tag him in every now and again.  You need a break.  No matter how small the break is, take it.  You deserve it.
3)  Laugh It Off-Poop happens, that is me saying it in a nice way with nice words.  You will laugh about it later, why not laugh now.  My husband and I have had some moments.  I just bust out laughing with tears rolling down my eyes from laughing so hard. 
4)  Their Babies Poop Does Too Smell-Those keeping up with the Joneses need not keep up with them.  We aren't perfect.  Just be you.
5)  It Takes A Village-Allow friends and family to help.  If they are asking to help, let them.  And even if they don't volunteer, ask them.  They won't know you need help unless you tell them.  Especially is you have been doing #4 and everyone thinks you are perfect.
6)  Wake Up And Smell The Poop-Enjoy every moment.  Kids grow up so fast.  You don't want to miss it, because it will pass you by.  I love smelling my kids when they are babies.  That baby powder smell.  I like watching them as they discover their world.  And am there to hold them as their adventures begin.

Huggies is introducing new and improved products designed to withstand the real life challenges of parenting:

Thankful and Blessed

Have you had one of those years when you ask yourself, "Where has the time gone?"  Well yeah, I had one of those years.  After going through what I went through at the end of last year, I am especially THANKFUL to be able to celebrate my 34th birthday. 

Recap-I had a high risk pregnancy.  At 35 weeks, I had to deliver my baby by c-section.  Once there, my baby swallowed too much fluid and would not cry. They finally got her air ways cleared but was taken straight to the NICU.  They closed me up, and we thought everything was fine, until I started hemorrhaging.  The bleeding would not stop.  My room was filled with doctors and nurses.  Hours later, the bleeding had been controlled, I was getting blood tranfusions, and my baby was still having a hard time breathing.  5 days later, we were both in good condition and were released from the hospital. 
I looked on the internet just recently (by the way, I am no doctor, I am not trying to freak anyone, all information was found all over the internet) and found this information:
515,000 women die giving birth every year
540 during c-section and it is increasing due to c-sections
90 secs-every 90 secs a woman dies around the world

I suffered from PostPartum Hemorrhage which is the leading cause of Maternal Mortality. (When a woman dies within 2 hours of giving birth)

Heck what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Back to my THANKFULNESS! Here are 15 random things:
1)   Thankful to be alive and able to see another day!
2)   Blessed with a great family, and friends.
3)   Lucky that I have a job.
4)   Priviledged to have a car and a house.
5)   Delighted to have met you!
6)   Proud to be a mother of 2.
7)   Adapting to the changes life brings.
8)   Wishful for what's to come.
9)   Disgusted with the events happening in this world.
10) Afraid for my kid's future.
11) Joyous about the present.
12) Excited about a trip.
13) Grateful for my wonderful husband.
14) Fortunate for good in laws.

and last but not least, Happy! Just plain HAPPY!

If today happens to be your birthday too~Happy Birthday!

for everyone else, Have a Great Day!  I know you have at least one thing to be thankful for today!

New Evenflo Bebek Trainer Cup Review

New Evenflo Bebek trainer cup recommended for 4 months+.  It promotes smooth transition from bottle to cup.  It has a soft spout that is gentle on teeth and gums.  The unique handles make it easy to hold from any angle.  And it is expertly designed not to leak.

My thoughts-I like this cup.  It has 3 handles.  I like the third handle because I can use that one to help Lil Bit learn how to hold her cup while she holds the other 2 handles.  It does not leak.  Lil Bit has been using it and right now her first teeth are coming in.  She loves her new cup.  It is her perfect size.  And I like that it is dishwasher safe.

-Front stash pocket for fast access
-Mesh water bottle pocket
-Reflective accents for visibility
-Durable, padded grab handle


My thoughts-The best feature I love from this backpack is the reflectors on the backpack and on the straps.  Day or Night they actually reflect.  You will love the reflectors too, if your kids walk to and from school.

Matt's thoughts-He really likes the backpack.  He said the straps offer alot of support on his shoulders.  His school doesn't have lockers so they have to carry everything in their backpacks.  He likes that it has a pocket for his water bottle he takes for soccer practice.

Oz The Great and Powerful coming March 2013

OFFICIAL BOILERPLATE: Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well. “Oz The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth and written by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (credit not final). Grant Curtis, Philip Steuer and Palak Patel are serving as executive producers.

“Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.

Wreck-It Ralph coming in November

Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers”) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy.  He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV’s “Glee”) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, “The Sarah Silverman Program”) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade.  Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?

 “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

SAFETY YOU CAN SEE: BRITAX LAUNCHES G3 CONVERTIBLE CAR SEATS

Newly updated BRITAX G3 convertible car seats are taking their place at the top of every new parent’s must-have list. All five models provide safety features that are visible and clearly labeled. Select models also offer a newly introduced safety technology and some provide an added convenience feature.


Knowing that accidents can come from any angle, BRITAX designs seats with innovative safety technologies to provide the child with 360 degrees of protection. And now parents can see for themselves! Look for the new BRITAX HUGS™ with SafeCell Technology®, side impact protection, base with SafeCell Technology®, energy absorbing Versa-Tether®, and integrated steel bars. The ADVOCATE® 70-G3, PAVILION® 70-G3 and BOULEVARD® 70-G3 feature new BRITAX HUGS™ Chest Pads with SafeCell Technology®. These chest pads are affixed to the back of the car seat shell to ensure that they are properly positioned on the buckled child. SafeCell padding on the chest pads, identified by a honeycomb design, is engineered to compress to manage energy and create best-in-class resistance to the forward movement of a child in the event of a crash.

All of the newly updated BRITAX convertible car seats continue to offer revolutionary safety features that are easy to see. For instance, all seats have a rigid shell with deep side walls that are lined with energy-absorbing foam to provide side impact protection. The ADVOCATE 70-G3, PAVILION 70-G3 and BOULEVARD 70-G3 offer a second layer of protection with energy-absorbing foam in the True Side Impact Protection head restraint that keeps the head, neck and spine aligned. Finally, the ADVOCATE 70-G3 includes Side Impact Cushion Technology®, a third layer of protection, with black energy-absorbing cushions on the child seat’s exterior to reduce side impact energy by diverting 45 percent of the crash forces away from the seated child. These cushions also provide extra protection for the adjacent passenger.

Additional visible features can be found on all updated BRITAX convertible car seats. Check inside the open-style base for honeycomb-shaped SafeCell Technology®, designed to compress in a crash, significantly lowering the center of gravity and counteracting the forward rotation of the child seat. Look on the outside of the seat for integrated steel bars that strengthen the seat’s connection to the vehicle and reduce forward movement. Also, all the enhanced models have new labeling to identify BRITAX’s Energy Absorbing Versa-Tether. The patented 2-point top tether with staged-release webbing anchors the top of the car seat to the vehicle and slows forward movement, reducing crash forces. These features, along with the side impact technologies, provide 360-degree protection for the child occupant.

In addition to the innovative safety features, BRITAX has designed a new convenience feature. The EZ-Buckle System keeps the buckle in a convenient, easy-to-reach forward position, making boarding a child faster and simpler. It can be found on the ADVOCATE 70-G3, PAVILION 70-G3 and BOULEVARD 70-G3 as well as the MARATHONTM 70-G3.

BRITAX ADVOCATE 70-G3, PAVILION 70-G3, BOULEVARD 70-G3 and MARATHON 70-G3 convertible car seats can be used rear facing up to 40 pounds and forward facing up to 70 pounds. The ROUNDABOUT 55 can be used rear facing up to 40 pounds and forward facing up to 55 pounds.

The newly enhanced line is now available at the same price points as the previous BRITAX convertible car seat models: BRITAX ADVOCATE 70-G3 (MSRP: $379.99), PAVILION 70-G3 (MSRP: $339.99), BOULEVARD 70-G3 (MSRP: $319.99), MARATHON 70-G3 (MSRP: $289.99) and ROUNDABOUT 55 (MSRP: $199.99).

Leslie Grace with Olay, Pantene, & COVERGIRL

For last night’s show at #PremiosJuventud 2012, upcoming artist, Leslie Grace (Dominicana) performed her first single “Will You Still Love Me ,” which mixes the rhythms of bachata with a flavor of the 60s. She wanted her look to resemble a diva from 60s but at the same time, looking modern, youthful and natural for these youth awards.

 These tips are being shared on behalf of her makeup artist and stylist, Annexie:
Face
· First, I applied Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer to prep her skin and give her a soft and fresh look. Then, I applied Olay Total Effects Line & Dark Circle Minimizing Brush under her eyes to minimized dark circles. Then, I used a little of Simply Ageless Eye Concealer in light medium 215 because it provides great coverage! I love it for day and night!
· Then I used COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless foundation 255 Soft Honey. Afterwards, I applied COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Plumberry Glow 140 to her cheek bones to add a soft rosy glow to her already beautiful and tan skin tone. I finished the face with COVERGIRL Clean Oil Control Pressed Powder to reduce the brightness of the skin and have her camera ready.

· For more tips from Olay visit www.OlayParaTi.com.
Eyes
· I used Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows in Blossom 257 on her crease to brighten her eye color. This color looks fantastic on her! For her lashes, I used LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Very Black 800 because I wanted to achieve a intense, bright eye. This mascara provides great volume and made her lashes look longer.
Lips
· I finished the look with a nude lip color using COVERGIRL Lip Perfection Lipcolor in Delish 255 to give her a neutral tone and this way I made emphasis on her 60s eyes.
· Make sure to follow @COVERGIRL on Twitter for more beauty tips. www.twitter.com/covergirl
Hair
· She decided to go with a pony tail that she was going to transform in an updo hair style to achieve that 60s look during her performance so I gave her a finishing touch. I liberally sprayed Pantene Anti-Humidity Hairspray all over her hair to help her keep the style in place all night.

Kidz Bop 22 Review

My thoughts-Kidz Bop is a family favorite.  We love listening to music.  What I really do not like is not knowing what the songs say or some songs are not kid appropiate.  But with Kidz Bop you do not have to worry about that.  My son who is 13 loves singing along to this cd.  It is the lastest songs out there now.  My favorite is Payphone.  This is a great for roadtrips!! Family singalongs!
