Prize #4: Mom4Life
About mom 4 life: I began by searching for a few unique products that would be helpful to almost any mom. In October of 2003, I found my first product and Mom 4 Life was born. The first product I carried was the New Native Baby Carrier followed soon after by LilyPadz. I was so excited about these two great products and knew that other moms were sure to love them as much as I did. Soon thereafter, I began to get recommendations from other moms about products that they knew and loved. Thus, my inventory began to grow including additional unique and useful items like Hooter Hiders, Glamourmom tank tops, the Bella Band, and Bravado nursing bras. Suddenly, my dream had become a reality. As my business grew so did its effects on others. My eyes were opened to the amazing talent of other mothers working from their homes and my product line quickly expanded to make room for the unique and useful products they offered. I am proud that Mom 4 Life’s extensive product line is comprised entirely of the handiwork of moms. As you browse the site, I hope you will take time to read their stories featured with their products and know that your purchase helps these mothers achieve their dreams as well.

The Australian-themed experience leads children thru yoga poses such as: kangaroo, koala, and bird. The video offers parents a powerful tool to engage children in the benefits of exercise with Yoga told through story, and techniques to help your child calm down and focus.
Prize #5: Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake:
Product DescriptionMagical Dance Adventure! Created by two moms who love to have fun, “Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake” inspires and stimulates young minds. This enchanting approach to learning about classical ballet through nature, toys, music and laughter will mesmerize children and parents alike.

Each step is playfully shown mixed into a colorful montage of toys, animals, children and young dancers from the School of American Ballet.

WoRd FiLLed WeDnEsdAY

Monday was the first day of school for Jordan and Alyssa it was a tear jerkier! I was a hot mess. I think both their teachers think I am a whack job since I was teary eyed & kissed them about 10 times before dropping them off, Just knowing that someone besides me is taking care of them and teaching them. Trust me there is NO WAY that I could do what these two women have set out to do this year, I know they are in good hands. I just pray that Jordan doesn't start playing with the toy chicken like it's a gun. thanks to daddy and his violent video games, that they sneak in at night while I put AJ to bed. Alyssa cry's every time I drop her off it just breaks my heart. But she says she has so much fun! Here are two pictures that I snapped right before we left them at school. (they go to two different schools)

Just add Dots and MomDot.com

LOL But in the same sence I am so happy, bc from 8-11 I will get to spend time with just Mr. AJ!!! Then we have to get Alyssa and then Jordan at 2.

Do you ever....

Feel alone? I mean I have 3 kids, a husband and a GREAT family. But for some reason today I feel alone...maybe bc we always do family dinner on Sunday's and today we didn't bc my Dad was running errors and Drew was trying to spend time with his mom. But boy I feel empty today without my family dinner! We had Burger King for dinner nothing like grandma & grandpa's Sunday sauce or even like my parents sauce. boy oh boy.......................really its not even about the food that's just a bonus I mean being with my family makes me whole the conversations at dinner, the quietness as well all eat and wait for the 2nd or 3rd course to come, Sunday's are nothing to me without them. I love love love my family and I dont think I tell them enough! so here's to you I LOVE YOU!

Target with three kids...

OK I admit, brilliant me wanted to go to Target today with all 3 kids. oh ya. Brilliant I know, but how could this mom on one income surpass a 75% off sale ON TOYS? oh no not me!
So I hit the store with my Step-mom in tow and little sister, they were not the issue oh no my bratty 5 year old boy (going to be 6 in Sept) was throwing an all out temper tantrum! I mean I had to take him out to lawn and garden so he could scream his little head off, kicking me, punching me, screaming at me "I WANT A TOY" as I wanted to tear his butt off his little body I remember that we don't do that, that's only an adult temper tantrum and who am I to hit him? (WE DO NOT DO THAT HERE) but the urge was still there. I ignored him, and tryed to move on. What a dirty look I see, oh yes there were plenty as they all smirk and snicker like your kids never did that when you went out, PLEASE! I wanted to say "take a picture why don't you" at least I am not beating the shit out of my kid like you would have!
Needless to say the screaming did not stop till grandma came to the rescue & took his little Heine out to the parking lot where she calmly talked to him and brought him back to me.
OH WAIT...oh no to close this we went to Pizza Hut after to get lunch and AJ turned blue on us from stuffing his face to much!
IS THIS DAY OVER YET?

Rainy Days

Oh boy oh boy. Do I love rainy days. I wish I could say the same for my three cutie pies...as I sit here and type this Alyssa is begging me for a piece of cake from her b-day yesterday, AJ is sticking his finger down his sisters new baby doll, and Jordan is vegging out on the couch watching noggin. I am so lost on what to do with rainy days now that they are so frequently visiting us. We have used up all the paint, colored in all the books, played all the games that the boards are starting to fall apart and the crayons are all broken into pieces. Hummm that's an idea. Well I am off to get a recipe to bake these crayons into fun shapes!
