Snorg Tees review and giveaway!

0 comments
For Father's Day I really wanted to get Rj tee shirts. That's all he wears besides his work uniform. He is a huge gamer so I was really excited when I found Snorg Tees. They have an entire gamer/geek/nerd section. Their shirts are an amazing price at $14.96! Their shirts make a perfect gift for anyone! They have men's, women's and kid's!

This is the shirt I chose for Rj (or rather he chose this one for himself):

It's his favorite shirt now. :) He wears it constantly.

Here are some of my other favorites:


This was my favorite but of course, Rj picked Dungeons and Dragons. Haha.

Snorg Tees is generous enough to give one of my lucky readers a free tee shirt of their choosing! PLEASE NOTE: If you lie and don't leave a comment NONE of your entries will count. Don't lie. Do what you claim you did.

21 weeks pregnant!

0 comments
Today I had a doctor's appointment. For the second time I was asked if I've been eating since I have only gained 2 1/2 pounds since getting pregnant. Of course, I have been eating. I'm not sure why I haven't gained because I certainly look and feel bigger. They also gave me that nasty drink for the gestational diabetes test. Hopefully I don't fail it this time like I did with Brayden and have to take the three hour test. Luckily, I didn't have GD with Brayden but the test was just annoying/long. Sleep is becoming quite difficult. My hips/lower half like lock up on me and I'm almost creaky when I try to move. :( I know that isn't going to get any better!

He does not wear any 18 month old shirts and almost can't wear 18 month old pants because of the length. He wears 24 month to 3t shirts. He wears size 7 and 8 shoes. He LOVES getting dressed now. He insist on standing when putting pants on. He stands on one leg and balances himself like a flamingo. It's so cute.

New words that I can recall: tiger, lion, cold. He is starting to repeat A LOT so I think this is the last month I will be able to remember any words at all. He has started saying "x" and "o" also. Previously he thought every letter was a "b". Haha.

He sings now in the cutest little sing song voice. I will have to record it one day.

He is actually getting a larger appetite. He has been trying a lot of new foods like grapes. He loves grapes now. He even took them out of the grocery cart and started munching on them in the store. His absolute favorite food right now is cheese. He likes sliced cheese, cheese cubes, Cheez-Its, cheese puffs and pretty much ANYTHING with cheese.

I have started to put him in time out in his room. He tends to get super grumpy/mean. I am trying to get through to him that it's not okay.

He's freaking cute too. :P

Holy tropical storm!

0 comments
I live 3 miles from Florida and grew up there. We are no stranger to hurricanes and tropical storms. We have had some rain lately. That is why Brayden's 22 month update hasn't been made. I like to take his pictures outside. Well, I knew it rained all night. I went outside this morning and drained some of the water from his pool. It normally fills up when it rains. My dog tried to leave our yard and I turn the corner only to discover this: 

 That is my car. Our driveway is slanted and it still reached my tires. Others have shorter driveways. Their cars were sitting in water. 
 Part of the road.
 My yard and a culdesac.
 No more rain. At least, not yet..
 Max running through the water.

 The road. I walked to the middle and it was above my knees. Almost 2 feet of water. 
 Then, I heard "WEEEE!" and ran to my backyard. Brayden decided he was going swimming in his pjs.
I changed him into his swim trunks but those pictures will be in his 22 month update. ;) I really need to go to the store to get toilet paper but I'm afraid to leave. :/ We will have to survive on one roll. Lol.


A local radio station from Jacksonville posted these pictures:




WOW!

THinc Skin: The Balm/Fresh out of the tub review!

0 comments
I stumbled onto a website from a company called THinc SkinThey offer a tropical product line that will encourage you to Love Your Skin! The two products I received are Fresh out of the Tub and The Balm. They both have the same scent. It has lavender and orange in it. Very refreshing! They are both a great price at $9.95 each!




They use only the highest quality all natural and organic ingredients. Their products are locally made in small batches to ensure quality and freshness. Their products come in an attractive and infinitely recyclable glass bottle or recycled aluminum container and they encourage you to reuse the containers.

Fresh out of the TubThis is their soapy, sudsy Baby Wash/Shampoo that will have babies smelling FRESH OUT OF THE TUB! This soap was specially formulated for little sensitive ones in mind. With its rich, fatty, tropical oils, not only will little ones stay fresh, but they will keep their super softness too! I used this for Brayden's bath. It made him skin soft and smelling great!

The Balm- This balm works on everything from diaper rash, eczema, newborn skin, cradle cap, sunburns, bug bites & more! Cloth Diaper Safe, Organic, Vegan & 100% NATURAL! Very impressive. Brayden has gotten some bug bites recently on his neck. He started scratching them and they got really red. :( I put The Balm on it yesterday and today they are A LOT better looking! Brayden also has Eczema and well, he's a boy, so this stuff will come in handy! You don't need much of it. It's goes a long way!


(Sorry it's a little fuzzy)
This is just the next day and one usage!
