Silikids Review and Giveaway!!!

2011-06-02T16:01:00.000-07:00

I am a mother to an amazing two year old

who thinks he is the biggest boy in the world.
Unfortunately that means he thinks he can

drink out of a regular cup.

I was very hesitant at first to let him drink

out of a "big boy" cup.

I am just super OCD when it comes to him
making a mess with his drinks.
Do you know what milk smells like

when it is spilled on the carpet and you can't get it up?

BLEH!

I have slowly but surely begun to let him

drink out of his "big boy" cup

and was so excited when I found

SiliKids

And so was he!

We got a 6oz glass with a siliskin on it.
The silicone sleeve makes the cup easier to
grip for little hands, especially if it gets

condensation on it.

AND
it keeps the glass from breaking if dropped!

AMAZING!

Has anyone ever broken a glass with little

feet in the room!

What a headache!

SiliKids

has so many great products!
They have a jar wrap for baby food jars!

Two of them are only $6.95!

This super cool 8oz bottle , comes with a siliskin!

These super cool things right up there,

are called Silipads!
I wish I had these when my little one was

crawling! It would have saved his knees so

much pain! I always felt so guilty since we had tile,

and our carpet is really hard too.

Heck, I wish I had them so I could crawl around

on the floor and play with him more!

He likes to be chased up and down the hall.

We crawl on our knees and scare him

by hiding behind the corner and then chasing

him some more!

And this fantasticly cool looking thing,
is a

SiliBib

It is dishwasher safe!

I would totally buy a dishwasher just to try it!

Nothing in this store is over $35!

It is all BPA free and absoultely green!

When you are done with your siliskin or any of their products.

Whether they have just been used so much or

whatever reason,

just send it back and they will recycle it for you!

Innovative,Green, and just plain FUN!

What more could you ask for!?

Oh!

You want a cup with a siliskin?!

OK!
You can win one 6oz glass with a silisleeve!

Memory Monday's (#2)

2011-05-16T12:42:00.000-07:00

This is a horrible memory,

but I want to share it.

The only to really say it, is to be blunt,

so please be aware that what follows sucked beyond

anything I ever experianced.

I was raped by my boyfriend when I was 19.

At that moment in time, I didn't know I was

being raped.

It took me many years to be convinced that

him hurting me, having sex with me when I didn't

want it, was rape.

About 2 months ago, I was attacked in the bathroom

where I worked.

I had gone to the bar after work and had a drink.

I started talking to a guy and we realized we

had a lot in common.

He bought me another drink and we continued just talking.

I told him it was nice talkin to him but I had to go.

I went to the bathroom and he followed me.

He attacked me,

I finally defended myself when I realized what was

happening, punched him in the ribs, he snapped out of it

and left. He came back in the bathroom not 1 minute later

to say that one of my husband's friends saw him

come out of the women's restroom and told me to,

"Keep your fuckin mouth shut!"

Turned around and left.

I hid in the stall for a minute, making sure I locked it that time.

That is how he got in, I didn't have the stall door locked in all the

way.

I sat there, someone came in and I quietly asked

who it was.

It was the owner's wife.

She asked if I was ok, I said some guy had been in there

and that was it. I didn't confide in her at

that moment. I was still in shock.

I had them walk me to the car and I left.

I broke down in the pickup and went straight to the fire

department and freaked out.

My hubby made me call the owner who was my good friend

at the time.

They didn't believe me.

They said they saw the guy and there just wasn't enough time

for him to be back there.

They didn't see the first 5 or 10 minutes when he first went in the bathroom.

They only saw him come in the second time when he came

back to warn me to keep my mouth shut.

Not 2 weeks later, I lost my job.

First reason I was supposedly causing drama.

Second reason, the owner's wife thought I was trying

to steal her husband away.

Third, the drama I caused was from what they thought

were lies about being attacked.

I am needless to say pissed.

They had the guys phone number and "threatend"

to call him. I said fine, but what person who

attempted rape, would actually admit to doing so.

What bullshit.

They wouldn't give me his number.

They didn't have cameras anywhere in the restaurant or bar,

so there was no way to prove that I was attacked.

I was told not to go to the police.

There wasn't anything they could do.

I want everyone to know,

if you are attacked, go straight to the police.

If they don't believe you find someone that will.

On April 20th is National Denim Day.

Here is the link to find out more.

For some reason I still cannot copy and paste into a blog post.

National Denim Day

There you can click on the left and find out about

the men's run in high heels to bring awareness to

women being attacked.

I hope my memory can help someone.

It is the reason I am now going to school to

be an advocate for rape and sexual assault victims.

I love all of you and I pray none of you have

to do go through this.

Are we too self-conscious?

2011-05-13T11:00:00.001-07:00

After I took a shower last night I started

to blow dry my hair and I wondered,

"Why?”

Do we all care about what we look like.

If you just said, “I don’t care about what people

think about me!” Then why do you look in the mirror.

We have been raised in a society that has

molded us into thinking we need to look a certain way.

Even when I am having a “scrub” day, I look in the

mirror to make sure my hair isn’t standing on end

and that my face didn’t get too oily over night.

It is almost impossible for me not to see myself in

a mirror because I have them scattered all over

my bathroom.

They are only from the chest up.

I can leave my house feeling like a million bucks,

then go to a store with a full length mirror,

see a roll or something unsightly,

and my mood goes straight down the tube!

I care what people think about me.

I let what they think, make me feel like

crap. That is not fair to me .

I need to be stronger.

DO YOU?
That leads me to another question,

MATURE EYES ONLY!

Does anyone else have such a problem with

the way they look “Down There” that

they can’t fully relax during oral pleasure,

that they can’t actually enjoy it?

My husband says he loves to do it.

He is kind of new to the whole idea of it,

I guess his ex’s never gave him any pointers.

Why can’t I just lay back and enjoy.

I am always worried that he is tired, or bored or

or that it smells funky!

(Don’t worry I really don’t I just think he won’t like it.)

Oh and I am only self conscience when it comes

to my looks, I don’t give a crap if people

care what I say!

If they don’t like it, they can stop listening.

I have manners, but my opinion is my opinion.

Why can’t I apply that to my looks!?

This all leads to my big question,

How self conscience are we, and how much

does it affect our lives?

Memory Monday's

2011-05-09T11:31:00.000-07:00

I am so excited about this hop!

Go to

Memory Mondays

to find out all about it!

One of my favorite memories is yesterday.

It was my Blayze's 2nd birthday!

I was so stressed out because money didn't

cooperate with us this paycheck and we had no

money to throw him the party we wanted.

I wanted a huge Mickey Clubhouse birthday and so did Blayze!

I stressed myself out to the point of being sick!

I just wanted it to be perfect!

It ended up being just that!

We went to my sister's house and had steak and all

the yummy sides you could think of.

Her 4 kiddos and Blayze got to play outside

in a giant sprinkler they bought.
It was a wonderful Mother's Day lunch.

Then we went to my husband's parent's house

and I was so excited!

My husband's mom had made 2 Mickey Mouse Cakes

that turned out so cute!

Blayze was so excited to see all the Mickey stuff,

napkins, sunglasses, the cakes, and party blowers.

He had so much fun!

I worried for nothing.

Blayze had the most wonderful 2nd birthday I could

have ever asked for!

How is that for a Memory Monday!

Love Ya'll!

Hard Night

2011-05-04T22:58:00.000-07:00

My dear followers...

I am going to let my heart out here.

I am having a bad night and I don't know what to do.

I have Fibromyalgia, so I have some good days and

a lot of bad days.

The past week has been mostly bad days.

I take a handful of pills to help stave off the pain.

One pill in particular makes me feel like a human being,

but the downside is that it makes me so tired

I can't wake up in the morning.

That means I can't get up in the morning to take care

of my two year old.

He goes to my in-laws on the night before my husband

does to work, then comes home after my husband

gets off of his 24 hours shift at the fire department.

That is two nights with his grandparents,

and only one night with me.

Half the time he is home I don't really feel

well enough to play and it eats me up.

I hate it that I can't take care of my son.

To top it all off I started school online.
Thank God it is an online college so I can

"attend" when it is convenient.

I have been so incredibly depressed about this I

have done nothing but eat.

Want to know the disgusting truth?

I ate almost an entire box of Fruit Loops, like 8 bowls!

IN ONE DAY!
I just can't seem to get full.

It doesn't matter what I eat, I don't get full.

I can't stop eating and I hate it!

I don't know what to do.

I worked my ass off to lose 70 pounds and in the

past two weeks, I have gained 15 back.

I got off the scale the other day and just cried.

My whole life has just been a constant circle of

addiction and recovery.

That's another story.

But right now it is overeating.

I feel like such a failure.

I can't take care of myself let alone my son.

Without my husband, I think I would have myself

committed.

Has anyone else ever dealt with this?

Does the pain ever stop, and will

my hunger ever be satisfied.

Maybe me talking about it will make one of you feel better.

I know I can beat this,

I just don't know what there is to really beat.

I just can't stop eating.

I am so embarrassed when my husband comes home

and see all the dirty dishes and all the food that is gone.

I need a break from life.

If only for just a minute.

I pray you all have a safe and healthy life.

If you don't, I am here if you need to talk

because I could really use a friend right now.

Thank you all for being my followers.

Signing in everyday and knowing I have more friends,

it makes my whole day bright.

Goodnight my loves, and hopefully tomorrow's post

will be a little more upbeat.

Don't forget to check out the MiniMonos giveaway!

Babeland- Oh Yea!

2011-05-03T18:29:00.000-07:00

I don't know that I have been this excited about a review.

EVER!

I am kind of a freak in the sheets.

I love to try out new things in the bedroom constantly.

My husband is more reserved than I am,

but he likes to experiment as much as I do.

I live in a small, small town!

And here, there are absolutely no "toy" stores here.

The closest store is an hour and a half away from me

and has a toy selection that only covers a wall ten feet long!

Very disappointing!

I take an antidepressant so having an orgasm

is damn near impossible.

I have never been able to orgasm from just sex alone,

so I love to try out new toys to see if they can

help me along.

It still takes me a little bit of extra effort,

but vibrators definitely help out the journey.

I was thrilled when I found this website

Babe Land.

Babe Land has such a wide range of vibrators, dildos,

and toys for the more adventurous ones for anal play.

They have lingerie, S&M accessories,books,DVDs,

and so much more that is just too much to list!

To top it all off, their prices are UNBELIEVABLE!

They have some vibrators starting at just $10!!!

It would cost me at least $20 for that same toy,

plus the gas money to get there!

I truly hope each and everyone of you will go

visit Babe Land. If for nothing else, but to just have a look

around and learn a little more about the amazing world of sex toys!

If you have never tried them before this is the best way to do it!

They have a How-To page that will guide you through how to use a vibrator

all the way up to how to give a blow job!

All I ask is for you to keep your mind open

when viewing their website, you will learn alot

and hopefully be able to try some new things!!

I promise,

TOYS ARE FUN!

Oh!!

There is one more thing I want to add!

If you are worried what your PostMan or neighbors might

think when you get a package from Babe Land in the mail,

DON'T!

Their packaging is very,very discreet!

It is just a plain brown package,

and the name from who it is,

just says,

"Mail Order"

with an address under it.

Nowhere on it does it say anything about what sorts

of fun stuff you ordered!!

Hope you all go check it out!

Their stuff is amazing!

Justin Bieber VS. Justin Timberlake!

2011-05-01T12:41:00.000-07:00

Oh Lord.

Just typing the title I even realized

they have the same damn name!

The first time I saw Justin Bieber and heard all

the hoopla I thought everyone was insane!
These poor teenage girls are putting all of their

love into a little boy that can kind of sing!

It just blew my mind that this little boy

could make girls fall in love him, with just a wink

and a blown kiss!

Then I realized,

I used to be one of those crazy little girls!

*N SYNC came out the summer I turned 12.

So that was, 12 years ago!

Oh Lord!

The moment my friend Jessica and I saw him

on the television screen, doing a Disney concert,

we started fighting over which of us he, Justin Timberlake, belonged to.

She was prettier than me and of course she got him.

I ended up with JC.

I was still seccretly in love with Justin Timberlake, though!

The love for him stayed even when *N SYNC broke up and

he went solo.

I had everything *N SYNC, lunch box to

marionettes!

Then I had a poster of him on my wall without a shirt on.

If I still had the poster I would probably have it hanging in

my closet.

To this day I am still in love with him and stare at

the TV when he is on it.

The other day I finally realized that I would always be in

love with JT.

He is in my Top 5.

You know if you ever meet them the 5 you can

cheat with.

My husband's number 1 is Carrie Underwood.

So now, I finally understand the Justin Bieber fever.

Because, I had Timberlake fever.

I will continue to make fun of all the people that love

him, but on the inside I will giggle and say,

"OMG, he is like totally hot isn't he!?"

Kiss My Face!

2011-04-22T06:20:00.000-07:00

The first words out of my mouth when I opened the box?

Heaven!

These soaps smell absolutely incredible!

I was sent Grassy Mint and Pomegranate Acai!

The Grassy Mint is so good. It smells like Green Tea mixed with Mint.

I can't even describe what a fruity sweet smell the Pomegranate has!

Even the packaging is great!

Written all over the bottle are all the

different ways to say Peace!

Better than the smells and packaging

is the mission of Peace Soaps.

Peace.

They are doing a great job of making it as well.

Peace I mean.

Kiss my Face joined hands with Seeds Of Peace

and their mission?

From their website,

"to help young people from regions of conflict develop

the leadership skills necessary to

advance reconciliation and coexistence."

Please look at the Seeds of Peace website

and see what a wonderful organization it truly is.
When you buy Peace soap, 10% of the profits will go to Seeds Of Peace!

Please buy some today!

For only $9.99 you can get a 17oz bottle of the soap!

These soaps are phenomenal!
They are all natural and have 101 uses!

I have yet to be able to test all of them!!

I used it to wash dishes, or well my husband, used it to wash dishes!

He loved it, and said it got the grease off of all the dishes with ease.

The only thing I didn't like was that the
natural oils inside the soap, I think, made the dishes

have a film on them.

Other than that it did an amazing job!

I used it as a body wash, which I love!

It did the same thing to my skin as it did the dishes,

left my skin with a little oil film on it.

It was great though. It foamed up tremendously even without

all the parabens and phtalates!

I didn't use it as a shampoo because I only use WEN.

But, I did get to use it as a shaving cream.

I had to use a couple more squirts than I thought

I would to make the suds stick to my leg.

I got a smooth shave out of it!

I absolutely love washing my hands with it!

It doesn't dry them out at all, and I love the burst of

fragrance whenever I do. The fragrance

sticks to your hands so you can smell it until the

next time you wash your hands!

This 100% natural Castile soap will knock your socks off,

and clean them too!

I can't wait to try all the uses!

Except for maybe the toothpaste one!

I want everyone to go and visit the Kiss My Face website

and buy some of this soap!

You will be helping out so many people when you do,

and you will smell good while doing it!

Please come back and tell me if you buy some

and let me know of all the different ways you use it!

Thanks to Kiss My Face for the wonderful products that

I received to do the review!

Love Ya'll!

2011-04-11T15:23:00.000-07:00

Holy cow,I feel incredible today!

I am so used to having bad days with my Fibromyalgia that when a good day comes around its magnificent!!!

The only bad thing on these "good" days, is that I feel so good I usually over do it and them I am miserable the next couple of days!

You want to know something frustrating?

When I have wonderful days like this, my husband is a whole lot nicer to me!

I asked him why and he told me that it just makes him happy when I feel good and it is easier to be playful and loving.

My response?

I was mad!

I understand his point of view of course, but

my thoughts are if I feel bad why not be nice to me?

Wouldn't that make me feel better instead of him acting super frustrated and upset?

I think so.

He thinks not.

Oh, another thing!

The days that I feel good, are the days he is always tired or just in a mood!!!!

What the crap????

I told him today if he didn't just suck it up and be in a good mood, I was going to make sure I never felt good again.

Well, my son Blayze and he are laying down on the couch about to take a nap.

Today is just such a peaceful, easy day.

I love it when we can just sit around and talk and playI will say goodbye for now!

Hope everyone has as wonderful a day as I am having!

Love ya!

Working out sucks

2011-04-10T06:58:00.000-07:00

I have never liked working out.

Ever!

In elementary school I used to get made fun of when I ran so I always got to sit out because I was "sick"!

But now I am almost a quarter of a century old and it's time I start working out. I have a high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and I have Fibromyalgia.

I know if I worked out most of the pain would go away because my muscles would be stronger.

I lost nearly 70 pounds all from just taking a little pill for my migraines!!! The only bad thing about that, I didn't work out at all while I was losing my weight so now I have an apron of skin around my belly! And to top it off my boobs deflated! They are enormous yet I can't see my nipples. I can't fix either of those from working out, so it's super discouraging!

I do think I found my saving grace, though!

Just Dance 2!

I do the calorie burning routine, and the hardest one at that. I even try to go above the recommended amount of dancing. I usually end up working out about forty five minutes and don't even realize it!!! How great is that?

I swear by Just Dance 2, now I really want Zumba!!!

I have a question though? Why is it, that I lost 70 pounds and I still feel fat? Is that just a woman thing or is it just me???? Here is a picture...

I guess I just feel really bad about the flap of belly skin!!!

I will look decent before summer, my son is the biggest water baby you will ever meet!!!

I’m Back!

2011-04-08T13:15:00.001-07:00

It has been quite a while since I have last written. I finally got a new computer, and the internet! Yay, me!

If you will all be patient with me, I am still trying to figure out what my blog style is. I don’t quite know what to write about yet. I am also starting to contact companies again so I will hopefully have some new giveaways soon!

I am so happy to be back and to get to talk to you all again!

Lots of love!

WTF?

2010-10-14T18:57:00.000-07:00

WTF???

Will mean two things today...

the first as always and my second made up meaning...

Wisdom Typed Fervently!

I knew you would like that one!

Maybe I am not as clever as I think...

I hope you missed me!

I just know you did!

I am having severe computer withdrawal.

My computer crashed. Badly. I don't know if I will be able to recover a single bit of anything from it. Need a for instance? How about my son's newborn picture's, or videos... Yea, yea I know "Well didn't you back them up?"

NO!

I never thought my computer would get a stupid virus!

So, I am without a computer. I am sure my son and husband are enjoying the precious time with mommy and wife! What a concept, family time! Who would have thought?

I have been trying to figure out how to get a computer. I am borrowing the one at my husband's Fire Department. Kind of ancient though!

I need a computer...

I miss contact with the outside world, you know other than the few people I know in my small town that actually talk to me!

Well until another installment of," Crap Quickly Typed on the Borrowed Computer!"

Crappy Couple of Weeks

2010-08-16T21:01:00.000-07:00

Well to recap the lady doctor visit, supposedly my worrying was for nothing. Everything came back just fine, so I know that I should be happy. She said that when I had the certain procedure to remove the dysplasia, it took the bad cells away and they shouldn't come back. The same with the HPV, having it be a virus it's just like a cold it just goes away on it's own at some point. She truly is a wonderful doctor and made me feel really good about everything.

My biggest concern was that I wasn't going to be able to have babies anymore. She made me feel good about that, at the moment. She said that we needed to get my hormones straightened out first and then go to the Rheumatologist.

I have been in so much pain, so the trip to the Rheumatologist couldn't come fast enough! We had to wait three months to get in to see her. August 10th finally came and went. I have been down pretty much ever since.

The appointment didn't even last twenty minutes. Tommy said she reminded him of one the NJ Housewives. She was just so forward and came across kind of rude to me. I was very intimidated, actually. I just couldn't believe that a whole year of pain could be explained away in that short amount of time.

She, Dr. C, sent me off to get X-rays of my feet, knees, hips, and hands. I got a shot of steroid and some sort of a pain killer(non- narcotic for once Praise the Lord) and a few new prescriptions.

So now I am left waiting once again for more blood work to see if what she said was correct or not.

Dr.C said that what I had was most likely Rheumatoid Arthritis.

If it hurts like crap, snap crackles and pops, then it is probably...

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Is a very scary disease. If it turns out that this is what I have, it solves many things. Yet, it complicates the future baby making plans.

Dr.C explained that during pregnancy all your symptoms go away. After delivery, within minutes to a month, the symptoms will come back with a vengeance.

Now I already had a horrific pregnancy with a million complications so we are putting baby making on hold for now with a great deal of tears falling from my eyes.

Tommy is just ready for me to feel better, as am I. I am tired of being so tired. Tired of the pain and weakness. Some days I can't even get out of bed. So my loves, we will see what the Dr. Ladies say.I write this without looking back(so forgive misspelled words), because as I said. Saying no "FOR NOW" to no more babies is so very hard for me. It is just for my safety and sanity. Oh and my sweet Tommy. God please keep him near and dear to me, don't let him give up on me.

Another goodnight.

Star Shine Company Review

2010-08-08T17:33:00.000-07:00

I was watching a show one day and it had Dolly Parton on it, and the host said " You always smell so good!" It got me to thinking... What does Dolly smell like?

Why do we always buy the mass marketed perfumes that are at the stores and end up smelling like each other?
Yes, I do have two or three favorites.

But, I even mix and match those so as not to smell like the next girl. I just have never wanted to smell like one of my husband's ex's or vice versa!
Everyone one of us are like that. We all associate certain memories with certain smells.I am just one of those people that has a nose for scents, though.

I am sure at least one of you remember sitting on your dad's lap when you were little and could remember the smell of Old Spice, and now everytime you get a little whiff of it, it brings back a certain childhood memory.
I also avoid certain smells like the plague, because they bring back bad memories!

I love the smell of a deer horn that someone has grinded for a knife. It reminds me of my Paw-Paw that passed away. He always smelled like them.

Apple cinnamon, oranges, and cloves smell like my mom's house at Christmas. She leaves a pot of them boiling on the stove when there is company.
Oh, I absolutely can't get enough of it when my husband comes home from a fire. The smell of the wood from a house or the trees that had burned that have been meshed into his clothing and skin. He just smells phenomenal, and I can't get enough of him.

I am always asking my husband, "What does that smell like?", when there is a fabulous, familiar scent wafting through the air. If I can't figure it out, it always frustrates me.

I had a favorite store I used to shop in when I lived in Phoenix and then it shut down! I was so sad! Then one day a wonderful little company added me while I was doing a giveaway.

They were just like that company I had been searching for!

Star Shine Company

They sell the most amazing perfume oils in the world!

I ordered 3 sample viles to start out, seeing as how I couldn't just stand there for an hour smelling all of them.
They have 500 scents!

I ordered Orchid, Cherry Blossom, and Awapuhi Seaberry.

To die for.

I am not so crazy about the Cherry Blossom only because it is such a delicate fragrance. It doesn't pop like the other two.

I absolutely adore the Orchid and Awapuhi Seaberry!

The Orchid has this amazing spice to it, that I cannot get over!

The Awapuhi Seaberry is just bursting with the scent of the tropical islands calling you to take a vacation.

The oil's are so much better than any perfume I have ever worn. I say that because the essential oil sticks to your skin and allows the fragrance to do so also! Not like a mist from your perfume bottle, that is going to dissapear half way through the day. You are going to use so much less of this oil and it cost's a fraction of the price, allowing you to try so many more fragrances! The samples are 1/16 of an ounce only for about two dollars! You put a dab of oil on all your pulse points so the heat of your body will let the natural fragrance escape when you are at your best. ;) Your neck, your wrists, and just behind your knees are my faves...

I urge you all to go have a look! They have hand dipped incense sticks, incense cones, the perfume oils, mineral makeup, and lip balm!

Their website is

http://www.starshinecompany.com/

and they have links for everything else there!

I had it in my head that I wasn't going to do any of these blog hops.

I kind of thought I was being a sell out.
Then I realized, "You idiot, how in the world are you going to make friends on here, and get your blog out in the blogosphere?!"

So I have begun searching for beautifully made blog hops that have quality blogs and truly beautiful women on the inside, and out. Aren't we all?

Here is one that I have found, that has good morals and rules that I can stand to abide by.

Social Parade Follow Friday

I can't wait to have more follower's and hopefully make some new friends through this whole process!

Thanks ahead for all of you that comment, I am off to go find some of you now!

Vintage Love

2010-08-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

Since I was very little I have always admired the women in black and white films. I grew up in a musical family. My mom could sing and play the bass. I played a plethora of instruments in school. I sang and took some piano lessons. I had to quit not too long after I started, though. I did however steal some of my sister Allison's sheet music and sit in my room with my little Casio and teach myself how to play.

Allison is the one who got me to love music the way that I do now. There was always a musical on in my house. So thank you sister for helping me love my music. I guess she kind of shaped who I am now. We would sit around belting out every word to every song in

Grease

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGLxJRq-jIY

Or, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faQHDd1KEwg

I didn't say that I was good then, so Allison don't say a word. I am thankful she didn't have a camcorder then because a video would be on YouTube as we speak...

That love of those movies has turned into my love now of Black and Whites.

I could sit on my sofa all day and watch TCM!

Irene Dunne has fast become one of my favorite woman of all time. She starred in one of my favorite movies of all time. My Favorite Wife, with Cary Grant. Mmm Yum.

The woman from the 40's and 50's just had class and style. Not like the hoochies from now walking around showing everything they have. No offense.

They just left a little something to the imagination. Even the Pin-Up girls were classy beautiful woman. I wish I could walk into a store and buy that type of clothing, but it just isn't that kind of time. I however, did realize there was a show called Mad Men and that was exactly the kind of life I would love to live. Well I have yet to watch it, so I might need to be careful saying that. But, the clothes are amazing. The hair is phenomenal. I can't get enough.

I finally came across a few blogs the other day that absolutely blew my mind.

These women are so incredibly beautiful.

I always tell my husband I dream of being the quintessential housewife. To look the part, talk the part. I just need the accessories...

These woman are it.

I will become the woman I know I am on the inside.

I just might need to clean my own mouth out with soap.

Golly.

Just check out their blogs and you will see what I mean.

Another Doctor Appointment

2010-08-04T11:04:00.000-07:00

I'm scared.

I don't want to go, but I know that I have to.

5 years ago I was diagnosed with HPV.

I don't know where it came from. I was in a monogomous relationship (or os I thought).

Then they discovered that I had dysplasia. You know the bad cells that could turn into cervical cancer? After a few more pap smears all of a sudden all of it suddenly disappeared. They bad cells the HPV, all of it!

Well how the hell does that happen?

That was five years ago.

Now I am here, in this moment having horrible pain, on top of all of the other pain I am going through. The pelvic stuff isn't like my back pain or migraines though. This could be bad.

I am scared.

I have a tendancy to kind of over react, especially when I am alone.

Well, here I am all alone.

And this pain, and the other stuff down there...

Makes me think what if?

What if it's bad enough that we can't have another baby.

I don't want Blayze to grow up without a brother or sister.

I don't want to have to put Tommy (my husband) through all the suffering of having to go through more taking care of me.

Then I think, well we can always adopt.

And if it is the big C, maybe thats why I am always in so much pain and always tired.

There is a huge upside and a really big slide going straight down to the down side.

At 3:45 I will go into the OB/GYNs office kick my heels into those stirrups, yell YEEHAW!

Hold on for dear life as she sticks those damn tools inside me takes samples with what will feel like razor blades.

I will pray to my Father above that everything is ok, and then come back here and vent to my dear blog girlfriends a little bit more!

I guess this is just one of those post on my journey that shows that Life Ain't Always Beautiful.

Maybe next time I will have one that makes me feel happy!

What Makes a Woman Happy?

2010-08-02T12:59:00.000-07:00

I started this blog so that I could write about what makes me happy. I guess it is a good thing there are so many days in a year, because I could honestly go on for days!

Then again, if I decided to write about what makes me sad, or mad, I could on for the same amount of time.

I wanted to make this blog so that I could bring together many types of woman, or men I guess if they really want to read it, so I could find out what makes them feel good about themselves.

I suppose that this is my mission statement.

Sassy, Sweet, and Chic is dedicated to finding out the many different ways a woman can make herself feel incredible! From the top of her head, to the bottom of her feet, inside out! Whether that be attaining knowledge, or learning beauty secrets and applying them. Do you feel great when you make your family smile?

I want to know, what makes your heart feel good?

So far I have covered, Barley and Birch. They are an incredible organic children's clothing line! They sell their clothes in boutique's and online stores and have a great little blog!

I know when my son, Blayze dresses so cute I feel like a million bucks! I know that I am a good mom no matter what! But, when people are always telling me that he is adorable, I mean come on! That boosts my ego just a little!

Then, I covered Orglamix. Cheri runs this fantastic little, or should I say huge- ever growing Etsy store! Make-up will be on here as much as possible, because it always makes me happy when I look beautiful! Whether it is just a little bit here or there or a full makeover. I truly am in love with it.I have a terrible obsession with make-up and dream to one day be a make-up artist. Until then I am on a mission to find makeup that I can't live without, like her! Please make sure you look her up!

So please, if you could send me some ideas for future topics! I swear that I have ADD, no offense to anyone out there, I think I really do. I have a mind that is everywhere and sometimes can't concentrate on one little thing. I have so many dreams. I still say, when I grow up I wanna be a...

And it has yet to happen, but hey I am only in my twenties... I have so much more life ahead of me!

So, here is to the future of my blog and to all of you that will join me on this wonderful adventure into the deep depths of a woman's soul.

Orglamix Winner!

2010-08-01T10:30:00.000-07:00

I am so very thankful to all of you who entered the Orglamix giveaway!

82 entries!!!

Wow!

You girls truly are amazing!

Congratulations to

ZOE OLVER

She won 3 eyeshadows from Orglamix.etsy.com. I hope all of you will still go to Cheri's shop and check out everything she has to offer!

One more thing before I go today!

There is a terrible bill out there that is targeted towards small beauty companies.

If you would all look over it and possibly sign it, it would help companies like Orglamix!

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/oppose-hr-5786-safe-cosmetics-act-of-2010

It says that the companies would be required to list ridiculous things like water on an ingrediant list. And then they would have to list what is in that water, like trace amounts of copper, or iron... and so on. If small companies had to test every single one of their products and make an ingrediant list, it would put them out of business!

So please read over it!

Thank you so much, small businesses will thank you!!!

I do!!!!

My Handsome Husband, is my life. The 4th of July post roused up something in me that I had forgotten about and I am ready to feel it again.

He is amazing.

He is my hero.

He is the one that runs into the fires while everyone else run out.

He grabs the chainsaw and sits on top of the burning building venting a hole, all the while knowing that at any moment the roof could cave in.

Every third day he goes to work for 24 hours and then comes home, and I am always so happy to see him, even if I am frustrated because the baby didn't sleep and I am so tired.

I know I should be more patient with him because I don't know what happened that night at work unless he pages. He sleeps with the radio on all night and barely gets any sleep. Then he comes home the next day and gets to work mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, or even off to another job!

I take him for granted sometimes and I could kick myself.

He crawls into bed late that night, worn out after another hard day. Kisses me, tells me he loves,

and then he starts to snore!

So I punch him in the arm, make him roll over, I hold him, I kiss his bare shoulder and whisper in his ear all the things I didn't get to say that day...

"Tommy, thank you. Thank you for working so hard to make the money that pays our bills. For fixing our leaking roof. For buying our food. For playing with our son.

Thank you for putting up with my nagging when I am frustrated with you. Then loving me when I say I am sorry."

You take care of me when I am sick.

You are so spontaneous!

You make me laugh so hard sometimes I can't breathe.

And yet you love me so much sometimes, you take my breath away.

You are my Handsome Husband.

You are my Sexy Fireman.

You are my Hero.

My one true love.

You are my Always and Forever.

I am everything and nothing without you.

Thank you.

You are one of the best things that makes me feel good about being a woman and I don't know how I will ever repay you.

Love you that much...

An Independance Day Anniversary!

2010-07-05T17:10:00.000-07:00

How are we to ever know that it is this, or that day that will forever change our lives?

I can tell you what day it was that now, looking back, that changed mine forever.

It was July 4th, 2007.

It was so incredibly humid that night. What am I saying? Every summer night in Texas is humid!

My boss Sheryl, quickly became my friend so I was invited to her family's 4th of July get together. She told me Tommy might show up, that he always does because being the Fire Marshal he has to keep everyone "in line". Her dad owns a fireworks stand.

The whole night I was there, eating homemade ice cream, bouncing my leg up and down, just waiting for him to show up.

Then he did.

I had spoken to him on the phone, on numerous occasions, me being the dispatcher, him being the fireman.

It was just this time, I was so nervous. So, something I can't even explain.

He got out of his pick-up and walked over to everyone and said hello. The entire time I had butterflies in my stomach and my heart was doing flip flops!

Every time he walked by me, I would catch a whiff of him, and it started the process all over again.
I honestly can't tell you most of the stuff we even talked about that night.

I do know he was trying to act like Joe cool with his new cell phone showing off his funny ring tones.

I laughed nervously and I am sure I was beet red, thank goodness for the heat!

We didn't even exchange numbers that night.

I had to leave early so I could get ready for work by midnight.

Who knew that, that meeting would be the reason for him to call me a few weeks later to go out?

To fall in love.

To get married.

To have a baby.

I never expected that gorgeous fireman with the wrangler butt to actually love me!

Now every 4th of July, we thank Sheryl for introducing us while we watch the fireworks and eat her mom's amazing homemade ice cream.

Never take for granted a passing glance that makes your heart flutter, it might just be greater powers at work giving you a hint to get after it!!!!

We sure did!

How sweet it is to be loved by you...

Oh and you my little firecracker!

Such a silly little boy!

He had such a great time watching the fire works that the guys were setting off!

I sadly had to go home early due to a migraine! It made me so sad! Tommy said he was just dancing around and having the time of his life!

I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Love you boys so much!

Happy 4th to all!

Why I Can't Sleep!

2010-06-30T03:15:00.000-07:00

This is crazy, I must be losing my mind.

It is 4:30 in the morning and my little man is asleep, oh so peacefully in his crib. I mean this is the best he has slept in a long time! For one thing, he doesn't feel too good. I kept him from a late nap, so that helped, so I SHOULD BE SLEEPING!

BUT NO!
I have another little boy keeping me awake!

I might lose some of you because of this, so I'm sorry.

I believe in other worldly beings. Right now I am praying it is an Angel.

As I am typing it just did something again...

On to my story...

And trust me, it ain't no freakin' toy story...

It started a week ago I realized. I was dreaming and I heard Blayze, I thought, whisper, "Mom!" Then I woke and he really started crying. Hmmm I thought... Weird, what a coincidence...

Then, Sunday night the 27th I was home alone because my Hubby had to do an extra job and he took the baby to stay with his parents for the night, to give me a break.

Storms were rolling in and I get migraines.

That night I did my usual stuff and it did take me forever to go to sleep. It was raining and I had little leaks everywhere! So annoying on top of my head hurting.

So I finally get to sleep...

You know when little kids come in your room and just stare at you because they want something, but they feel bad because they don't want to wake you up?

I got that feeling...

I opened my eyes.

I thought it was Blayze! In 1 second my mind raced wondering how in the world did he safely get out of his crib, come in my room and stand face to face with me?

Then I remembered...

I was alone...

WHO THE HELL IS THIS?
And just like that he was gone.

Oh how my chest throbbed in pain with the fear and anxiety of what had just happened.

He was 3 maybe 4? Blonde.

I don't know who he was.

He was adorable.

I wrote it off as just a dream and went back to sleep.

June 28th...

Tommy was home with me this time I would be safe. He could protect me. I could take something to knock me out I wouldn't ever know if anything was there. Right?

WRONG!

Went to sleep at Midnight.

It took me forever to fall asleep, even with the "knock out" medicine.

I went to bed with wet hair, but that shouldn't have mattered... I keep my little a/c on 73.

I tossed and turned, I was so hot. I couldn't get comfortable. It was just so hot in my room. But, when I touched Tommy's chest, it was ice cold...

It was 4:38am

Wow close to now...

Just scared myself again.

Funny how your heart can beat so fast, it can actually make you wake up...

I guess I fell asleep at some point, because I woke up so frightened...

Something shook the bed.

HARD.

Tommy was awake too.

He said he had just itched his arm. He couldn't have itched it that hard. The bed moved. Then I looked up, over him and made him look to. But, he told me nothing was there.

Once again, there he was.

The little boy.

Only, this time, he climbed over Tommy and got in between us. When I realized what happened, poof! Just like that, gone.

June 29-30

Today, Tommy had to work.

Well he is a firefighter, so he has to work a 24hr shift.

That leaves me alone with the baby.

I didn't think about it all day.

Until, I had to go to bed.

I talked to Tommy, said my good nights and I love yous.

I wasn't tired and ended up staying up until 1:30.

This is the nutso one.

This is the one I lost Tommy on.

I know I was having a bad dream. Every time I closed my eyes before I went to sleep, all I could see was bad stuff. But, this wasn't a dream.

Anyways, I woke up because I heard someone pounding on my front door.

I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't sit up.

My right arm was completely numb. My right hand was stuck to my chest. My legs were stuck to the bed, my head was stuck. Everything was stuck to my bed and I couldn't breathe. It took everything I had to swing my right arm into a punch to knock out of it and sit up. And as soon as I started to sit up, I heard someone say, "Mom!". Oh, so quietly, just like before.

I grabbed the phone and called Tommy. I didn't care that it was 3 in the morning. My chest hurt so bad with the pain of my heart racing.

I walked through the house turning my lights on.

Then had to let Tommy get sleep. I only talked to him for 5 minutes.

He hasn't ever seen anything to make him believe so he doesn't understand.

I still love him. :)

I need to figure out how to make this stop. I can't just get one hour of sleep every night. I know I am already going to have a migraine! I only have 3 1/2 hours until Tommy gets home.

I am in the living room.

On my laptop.

Watching Morning Express with Robin Meade. She is so cute!

See gotta get my mind off of it... I gotta pee! And the bathroom is back there by my bedroom!

Hell, I am even scared to go into my son's room! I had to put a freakin nightlight in there for me!

Maybe that helped him sleep better?

Who knows.

I am going to call the Ministerial Alliance today, and see who of the pastor's or priest's thinks I am least nuts...

I will tell you some more story of my past experiences later. But this is the biggest one.

In years!
Am I nuts?

I am sorry I know this is long.

It just seems the "experiences" are getting worse night by night...

I even told him, that I would play with him, just no more scaring me!

I guess that tactic didn't work...

So can someone please help me, before I lose my mind and just move out...

Please?

If I didn't use correct grammar, or if I misspelled something, please forgive me. There is no way I am proof reading this...

I am so happy the sun is coming up...

Maybe I can get at least a few hours of sleep before my hubby gets home.

When I ask my husband to take me shopping for make-up his shoulders slump, his head dips down, and he says, "OK..."

It's quite adorable, but pretty pathetic, because I know he will be miserable for several hours while I walk around in circles for hours (not joking) looking lovingly at the different make-up counters...

Now I don't have to because I have a new favorite online make-up counter!

Orglamix

It is a mineral make-up, that is PETA approved.

You know it has to be good now!

It is free of bismuth oxychloride, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, and parabens.

Cheri, the creator has made over 75 different eye shadows.

There are eye shadows here for everyone! She has even made some for all of you Twilight fanatics!

Twilight Collection

New Moon Collection

There is even a special collection for the Bride-To-Be!

There is truly something here for everyone!

Foundations to match any one's skin tone.

From light to medium, medium to tan, tan to dark, and everything in between. She will even custom blend for you!

Orglamix blushes can make your cheeks glow like they were just pinched or give your whole body an all over summer bronze!

This one is Rosemary.

Orglamix blushes "offer a range of translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle pink for natural blush undertone that naturally brightens your face and accentuates your features."

This line of cosmetics is so versatile! The eye shadows can be used wet or dry depending on how dramatic you want the look! You can even use them as an eyeliner.

I was sent

Purple Basil

Iris

and the blush Pink Pepper

This is how it was sent to me! Well with the scent petals at least! MMM yum! Always lifts your spirits when you open a great smelling package doesn't it?

The products themselves are fragrance free though.

I have been so pleased with everything that I am waiting to talk to her to order my foundation and more eye shadows!

Oh did I mention the prices?

Only $4.99 for a little sifter pot of eyeshadow...

Chico Bag Review

2010-06-14T13:30:00.000-07:00

Oh how much I love my Chico Bags!

Aren't they delicious?

Chico Bags have seriously saved my life!

At this point in time I personally own a Vintage and a Vita Chico Bag and the Produce Stand collection.

The Vintage is an adorable brown polka dot polyester with a 97% recycled aluminum carabiner to hook onto you!

One of the most INCREDIBLE things about this bag????

It holds up to 40lbs of weight! My son weighs 22lbs and a gallon of milk weighs approximately 7lbs! They could both fit with room to spare! What a deal! Plus it is only $8.99!

I also have the purple Vita Chico Bag! It can scrunch down to 3.5" x 5" from a 19" x 15.5" bag!

It also holds 40 lbs!

I have already used the heck outta these things! I keep them right by my front door so I don't forget them!

One bag holds as much stuff as five Target bags! For me at least! Definitely impressive!

Everywhere I go people compliment me on them, and if they don't I tell them what they are and demonstrate how they work! I show them how they stuff into little pouches!

Even my husband thought they were great!

I have one packed right now, sitting by my front door as a tornado bag as a matter of fact!

(Big storms are brewing in Central Texas)

You can never be too ready!

Thank you Becca, You are an amazing lady! You never cease to amazing me!

Chico Bags are a must have accessory for every season! You can always find one to match any outfit!

Go check out their new, Produce Stand line!

Oh, did I mention they are earth friendly????

GO RECYCLING!!!!

Barley and Birch Giveaway

2010-06-12T15:28:00.000-07:00

I love it when my little man is soft and cozy!

If he is saving the planet at the same time, that's even better!

I am so excited that my first giveaway over here is going to be for one of the cutest companies I ever seen!

Barley and Birch

I am always searching the Internet for companies that are natural, organic and just all around great for my dear Mother Earth. This one was easy to come by! It was on my good friend, Danielle's blog!
Getting Kinda Crunchy
She did a review as well!
I sadly enough cannot get graphics right now, because they are making their site bigger and better than ever! They are going to have an online parenting community called, "The Front Porch". I can't wait to see what they come up with, with that! If you want to be a blogger for that, just email them!

Kyle, a law student, decided that she wanted moms ( and dads) to have their children have the best clothes possible. So was born Barley and Birch!
This little company packs a BIG punch!
Everything is carbon neutral.
Definition of Carbon Neutral
EVERYTHING from the paper they write on, to the clothing on your children's backs is in someway great for our environment!
The children's line is 100% organic cotton!
The ink is water based!
The paper that they use (if needed) is 100% post-consumer recycled!
Everything is done in the great United States of America so they don't pollute our air with emissions by shipping everything over seas!
Tell me that isn't smart thinking!!
Oh and to top it ALL of, they donate 15% of all their profits to organizations all over the world!
Do you now know why I am in L-O-V-E with this company?
