Child Training Bible Giveaway Ends 9/12


My husband and I are trying our best in raising our boys to be young men of God.  We think it is super important to do so.  The world is a scary, crazy place out there and we as parents need to give them a Godly foundation to stand on so they know who they are.  After searching the internet all day, I came across a site with something that I immediately thought, Wow I need this for our kids.  The site I came to is Child Training Bible.  This is an amazing kit that helps teach the children on things that they may face on a day to day basis.  Things like fear, lying, jealousy, not listening, anger, and so many more topics.  There are even quite a few verses on the gospel if you just want to get your kids into the bible.  This kit requires you to get a 9x6 bible of any version.  We already had a Veggie Tale bible that the kids love and the card sticks out just a tad but we make it work.  You will also have to get highlighters and page tabs in the the colors that are on the cards, which you can get on Amazon for a great deal.  All that information is on the Child Training Bible website and you can also purchase it there as well.  I would recommend this for all families.  I think one kit would be good for a family.  I love how the cards also have questions to ask to get your children thinking about the topic and it has a prayer that you can have your children pray regarding that topic, which not only teaches them how to get into the bible but to also learn how to pray.  If we can teach our children to stand strong while they are young then the world won't have a chance at bringing them down.




The amazing makers of this kit are going to bless one family with a kit (cards and instructions only).  All you have to do is enter on the Rafflecopter form below.

Be careful what you say

I found a gray hair! I'm totally freaking out. Right after I had my second son I kept joking that having 2 boys so close I would be gray before I was 30. Then when I had my 3rd son I kept joking about having to dye my hair all the time because I'd be gray before 30 with 3 boys under age of 4. Well here I am. I turned 30 in march. I have 3 boys under 7 and found not one but 2 gray hairs. I plucked them. Then was told not to pluck them because 2 more would grow in it's place. Good gravy, I hope that's not true. So now for sure I will be dyeing it pretty regularly because I'm too young for gray hair!! Ugh. Have you found any gray strands yet? How old we're you when you found your first gray hair?

Are You Gutzy?


My kids are excited about school supply shopping.  A few weeks ago we saw Gutzy Gear in a store and they wanted some.  What they did not know was that I was accepted into the Gutzy Gear party from MommyParties and MomSelect.  We were selected to have a party featuring the new products from Gutzy Gear to share with their friends and cousins.  They were excited when they found out.  So I invited a few friends over for games and prizes.  The first game we played was Gutzy Bingo.  The kids had a blast looking at all the different patches there were.

 


After we played Gutzy Bingo we played Gutzy dominos.  They all had fun seeing who would get rid of all there pictures first. 



The kids loved earning the Guzty Tokens so that they can trade them in for their Gutzy Gear straps and patches.  I love how its all velcro.  It is not a cheap velcro either, I actually had a hard time taking them apart.  Which is a good thing because then they will not easily be lost.
 
 


Since school has started I asked my sons if anyone in there classes has any Gutzy Gear Patches and they said no but a few kids wanted them and my oldest told him to have his mom take him to the store to buy his own so they can trade.

Combat Ant Gel Review and giveaway. Ends 8/31

When the weather is nice outside, I want to be outside.  I love being outside.  The fresh air.  The nature.  Everything.  We barbeque a lot too so we are outdoors quite often.  One thing I do not like about outdoors is the bugs, especially those pesky ants. We have a bunch of ants around our house and they sure are hard to control.   I found a new way to Get Rid of Ants.  I have used the

Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait.  This product contains an effective insecticide which kills most ants commonly foun in homes.  THis product is effective vecasue ants carry bait back to where the live to destroy the entire colony.  It even kills ants outside to prevent more ants from coming inside.

It also

-Kills ants without messy residure and without insecticide odors
-Quick kill formula
-Destroys the queen and the entire colony
-Provides long lasting any killing power
-Child-Resistant

I like the ant bait because I can just put them in out of sight areas and I know that it is still working. I have noticed a decline in ants that we see in our home. 


Another product that I have used is Combat Source Kill Max Ant Gel.   This product is formulated to effectively control ants.  That's because this product contains Fipronil, a fast-acting active ingredient.  Its speed is still slow enough, however, for foraging ants to return to the colony and feed the bait to larvae and queens so that the entire colony is killed through the Domino Effect.

It also

-First specially formulated ant gel
-Preferred food form for ants
-Fast killing formula
-Works within hours and up to 1 month
-Kills ants and the colony

This form of ant killer is what I preferred.  You can just put it around window sills, doors or cracks and it helps control and stop ants from coming in. 



Combat is having a Contest of their own.  They are giving one lucky winner $1000 to hold their own Bug Free Backyard Bash.  The winner will also receive an assortment of Combat brand product to ensure ants don't spoil the Bash.  Be sure to enter that fun contest.  Good luck to all.

Combat is also letting me give away one box of the Combat Source Kill Max Ant Gel to one lucky winner of my blog.  Just look on the rafflecopter form to enter.

(Disclosure:  Combat provided a free sample of their Ant Bait and Gel so I could review them  However, all of the opinions expressed here are my own)

Stock up with EdenFantasys

Express your love with Vroom! Sex toys from EdenFantasys. Shop now!


I love spending time with my husband.  I love wearing nice lingerie for him.  I feel that it shows him that after all these years I still want him.  It is also an expression of love because even though I might not feel so sexy in my body, especially after having our three kids, I can put that self-consiousness aside and be vunerable for him. Which is why I like shopping at EdenFantasys.  I have found so many pieces of lingerie that I actually feel comfortable in.  I am excited to share that EdenFantasys is having a great sale going on right now.  You can save 20% site-wide, that means anything and everything!  Just use the code PLAY20 when you check out.  What a great time to stock up on some fun, flirty and quality lingerie.  They have all sizes and styles so that everyone will have no problem finding something that they want.  If you are looking for something more than lingerie, no worries, they have it.  They have books, (including the 50 Shades of Grey Series that everyone is talking about). They have Beauty and Body products like candles, massage oils, and makeup. If your looking for sex toys they have plenty of that to offer as well.  So, no matter what your taste is when it comes to sex, (whether you are modest and shy like me or you are more outgoing and free)  you will be sure to find something for you. You will see that most of the items have reviews on them from people who have bought them, which is super helpful when buying items online.   EdenFantasys ships their products super quickly and discreetly.  You will receive your item in a plain brown box which is awesome because if you have nosy neighbors they will not know what you are ordering.

Always and Tampax Always Radiant Collection

Being a woman is tough stuff.  With all the cooking, laundry, cleaning, and raising kids to do, who has time to worry about their periods and making sure you have what you need on hand and making sure what you do have is dependable and can keep up with you.  Well, with the new Always Radiant Collection from Always and Tampax, you have nothing to worry about.  I have been using the Radiant collection for my last 2 cycles and have not had any problems with leaking or anything.  I really do feel confident in going out and not having to use the bathroom to make sure there's nothing going on that should not be.  The packaging is also very eye catching and that alone makes me want to buy the products.  The wrappers are not the loud plastic like wrappers that everyone knows what you are doing when you are opening it up.  Instead, they are nice and quiet which is great because I don't need the world to know when I'm on my period.  There is a whole line of products for everyone with different needs.  If you prefer just pads or just tampons theres a selection of them to choose from which is great.  I love having choices.  Thanks to Always, Tampax, and Influenster for giving me this opportunity to try the new products.


Always Radiant Infinity Overnight Pads










With the first-ever re-sealable wrapper, a Cleangrip™ applicator, and the outstanding LeakGuard™ protection you expect from Tampax

Living in Florida, it is hot and sunny pretty much all year round.  It is necessary to have sunscreen on no matter what time in the year you go out.  I have found a new sunscreen that I take with me everywhere.  I recently was given the opportunity to try the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen spy 30.  This arrived just in time for a few outdoor birthday parties and I was excited to try this out.  This sunscreen is easy to rub in, smells great and leaves my skin feeling pretty silky smooth.  I did not get burned at all and in fact I got a nice little tan going on and I love it.  I use this every weekend when I go outside and do yard work.  This is probably one of my favorite sunscreens.
