<br />
Mahayla will be 3 years old next month! My little girl is growing up and getting ready for school. Mahayla will be starting private school in August. That means school uniforms and shoes with laces. One of our summer goals has become teaching Mahayla how to tie her shoes. Only if there was a product out there to help. Wait! There is....<a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a>!<a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a> help your child learn how to tie their shoes faster. <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a> are available in two design combination's, a fairy and her wand and race cars. You simply thread the <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a> onto the shoe laces, follow the instructions, and make up a story for your <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a> characters. The pull tabs are easy to use for small clumsy hands. The more times they practice, the better they get, and eventually you can remove the <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/TB0Vut5Y-UI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/kB_TmI_r9Vk/s1600/tiebuddies.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/TB0Vut5Y-UI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/kB_TmI_r9Vk/s320/tiebuddies.gif" /></a></div><br />
<b>My Thoughts: </b>My advise is to follow the instructions to the tee. The instructions say to have 3.5" of lace between the <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddy</a> and the last shoe eyelet. This was the hardest part to me. Mahayla only wears a size 6 toddler shoe. They generally don't have 3.5" or more of lace left over after they are completely laced up. I had to find her a pair of tennis shoes that had longer laces for these to work. Some shoe laces are also difficult to thread through the holes of the <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddies</a>. The thinner the lace the better. We made up our "Tinkerbell" story to go along with her <a href="http://www.tiebuddies.com/">Tie Buddy</a> characters (Fairy and Wand). She still hasn't quite got it down but it is much better than before when she would just wad up the laces and call them tied. Overall, they are a quality product and do help with learning to tie shoes once you get all the right measurements and laces needed.<br />

It's hard to believe that Tre' is quickly approaching 6 months old! Boy how time is flying. When Mahayla was 6 months old she spent a majority of her time either in her Jumperoo or her walker. She always had to be on the move. Tre' is following in her footsteps. He likes to be constantly moving or standing up. He loves playing in his <a href="http://www.kolcraft.com/jeep/walkers-and-activity-centers/193-jeep-liberty-renegade-walker">Jeep Liberty Renegade walker</a>! He likes honking the horn and trying to run over his big sister!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/TB0DRiaHPEI/AAAAAAAAAj4/A468WYt3aYY/s1600/Jeep+walker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/TB0DRiaHPEI/AAAAAAAAAj4/A468WYt3aYY/s320/Jeep+walker.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The <a href="http://www.kolcraft.com/jeep/walkers-and-activity-centers/193-jeep-liberty-renegade-walker">Jeep Liberty Renegade walker</a> is durable and sturdy. I don't have to worry about this walker collapsing or tipping over when Tre' is playing in it. The seating area is made from plush, foam-filled, easy-to-clean material for comfort and support. The seat is easily removed for washing and trust me you will need to wash it! Tre' is teething and the seat is always covered with baby drool when he is done playing. All the toys are within his reach. The side mirrors spin and the electronic steering wheel honks, roars an engine, and plays music to keep Tre's attention (and drive us nuts). The wheels swivel for easy mobility. I also like that the wheels have a rubber coating on them so they don't scratch up my wood floors like Mahayla's walker did. Best of all, this walker has 3 height adjustments so he won't grow out of it too quickly. The <a href="http://www.kolcraft.com/jeep/walkers-and-activity-centers/193-jeep-liberty-renegade-walker">Jeep Liberty Renegade</a> is available in two color combination's: Everest (beige and light green) and Storm (red and black).It also has a cup holder/snack holder for when he gets older. Right now we use it to hold his pacifer. My only two critiques for this product are that they need to have a volume control for the electronic steering wheel and perhaps they could add some flashing lights. This is my little man below....isn't he so handsome! <br />

In an already strained economy, communities are being forced to cut funding for school music and art programs. Many value athletic programs over music robbing our children of a much needed part of their education. Those music programs that are still operating often require its participates to purchase their own instruments which can be extremely expensive. This requisite would eliminate lower income students from participating in music programs and private lessons too are expensive. We began teaching Mahayla the importance of music education before she was a year old when she got her first drum set.<br />

One of my fondest memories as a child involved doing arts and crafts with my mother. Today I still enjoy creating things and making handmade presents for people. Growing up without a lot of money, this was often the way we exchanged gifts. I still feel that it is better to get a handmade gift from someone versus a store bought gift. I know that when that handmade gift is given, it was well thought out, it holds a piece of the person who made it, and it was made just for me! Now that Mahayla is almost 3, I've started to do more arts and crafts projects with her. I love seeing her light up when she see's the finished product of what she has created. It's also wonderful that she wants to share her projects with others and often she gives them away.<br />

The kit came with 3 pre-made tulle butterflies, 4 glitter paint pens, and rhinestones and a tulle swag. With supervision, Mahayla painted designs on the wings and placed rhinestones on them. The butterflies come pre-strung to hang from the ceiling or you can use the enclosed hanging tabs to put them on the wall. Either way they make fun, easy to make, affordable, and stylish decorations for your child's room.<br />

With Mahayla, bottle training was a nightmare. I think we probably bought every bottle and nipple on the market. This time I was going from experience and just purchased the same bottle system that worked with Mahayla. I recently came across a new bottle by <a href="http://www.organickidz.ca/">OrganicKidz</a> and it is awesome!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://organickidz.ca/">OrganicKidz</a> specializes in stainless steel baby bottles. Not only are these baby bottles stylish, they are good for the environment and safe for our children. <a href="http://organickidz.ca/">OrganicKidz</a> stainless steel baby bottles are BPA free, PVC free, Phthalate free, and bacteria resistant. These bottles are designed to grow with your child. These highly functional bottles can be easily converted to sippy cups when you purchase the <a href="http://organickidz.ca/">OrganicKidz </a>sippy lid and a sports spout is also in development. The lid doubles as a measuring cup and they are compatible with most nipples.<a href="http://organickidz.ca/">OrganicKidz</a> baby bottles are available in several different styles and sizes and also available in both wide or narrow neck. <br />

I never knew how bad some body washes and soaps can be for your skin. All regular body washes cause or contribute to dry skin damage. Current body washes actually damage proteins and lipids in the skin’s outer layer which can lead to the loss of moisture. When skin lacks proper moisture, dryness, tightness and irritation/redness can occur. Some existing body wash are focused on minimizing protein damage and alleviating visual symptoms of moisture loss by adding heavy moisturizing ingredients that sit on top of skin. While these additives help mask dry skin damage, they do not address the deeper problem of lipid damage.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;">The new <a href="http://dove.com/">Dove Body Wash</a> collection contains <a href="http://dove.com/">NutriumMoisture</a>™ technology that cares for surface skin ten layers deep. Unlike other body washes, this first-of-its-kind body wash technology takes a dual approach to healthy, nourished skin by preserving <u>both</u> proteins and lipids during cleansing. </b>Only <a href="http://dove.com/">Dove</a> contains <a href="http://dove.com/">NutriumMoisture™</a>, a breakthrough formula of soybean oil and natural lipids. <br />
<b></b><b><span class="style62"></span></b><b></b><b><br />
</b>I recently was contacted by <a href="http://dove.com/">Dove</a> to review their new line of body washes with <a href="http://dove.com/">NutriumMoisture</a>. I received a bottle of Go Fresh Energize body wash in grapefruit and lemongrass scent. I love the scent of this body wash! It is so refreshing and clean smelling. My skin is always so dry and flaky but after using the <a href="http://dove.com/">Dove</a> <a href="http://dove.com/">NutriumMoisture</a> products my skin feels soft and revived!<br />
<br />
<b>Buy It: </b>Dove NutriumMoisture body washes are available at your local drug stores, chain retailer, and grocery stores for around $5 a bottle. I encourage you to take the 2 week Dove challenge and see which <a href="http://dove.com/">NutriumMoisture</a> body wash is your favorite.<br />
<br />
<b>Win It: </b> Win a Dove Difference Challenge kit for yourself! Leave me a comment telling which of the Dove NutriumMoisture body washes you would like to start your challenge with!<br />

Mahayla loves helping me cook. I think her favorite thing about helping mommy cook is getting to lick the cake batter off the spatula when we're done (my favorite part too). As hard as she tries to help, the cooking utensils just are not made for little hands.<b> <a href="http://curiouschef.com/">Curious Chef</a> </b>makes uniquely designed kitchen utensils for our budding chefs.<br />

I thought it was the best gift ever...and it was made by a man which made it even more special. So when a cousin of ours was expecting, I made her a <a href="http://www.diapercakewalk.com/">diaper cake</a>. I found assembly instructions and design ideas on the internet. I bought all the supplies and made my very first <a href="http://www.diapercakewalk.com/">diaper cake</a> and a baby sock roses bouquet. The finished product cost me about $100. <br />

I'm a breastfeeding mother and sometimes it is difficult for me to breastfeed out in public. Not only can it be challenging to feed my son discreetly; he is also a messy eater. Having to deal with nursing covers can be difficult to maneuver if your hands are full. Nothing says, "Look at Me!!", more than a hungry screaming baby. It never fails, the one time you want to be invisible is when your child decides to become the drama queen/king of the day. Well, problem solved with <a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursingwear</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursingwear</a> specializes in stylish nursing attire that have hidden openings so that you can nurse discreetly and with confidence. No more untucking and pulling up your shirt or fumbling with nursing covers. These "easy access" clothes make breastfeeding even more convenient. <a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursing</a> wear has a great selection of affordable shirts, dresses, and intimate apparel. I LOVE my "I make milk...What's your superpower?" shirt from <a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursingwear</a>. It's made of ultra-soft cotton and it makes an awesome statement don't you think? My <a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursingwear</a> shirt has enabled me to nurse Tre' in public with no one ever noticing. To onlookers it just looks like I'm holding a sleeping baby. I also found their breastfeeding tips and resources section helpful. It contains some great advice to new mothers or for those who just need a refresher.<br />
<br />
Here's a few of my favorite <a href="http://www.expressiva.com/store/home.php">Expressive Nursingwear</a> outfits below.<br />

We are a family of "brown baggers." Who can afford not to be in this economy? Every night I pack our lunches for the next day to save time in the morning. I use just cheap "throw away" tupperware and lots of sandwich bags.The <a href="http://easylunchboxes.com/">Easy Lunch Box System</a> is an economical and "earth friendly" way to pack healthy lunches for all members of our family.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://www.easylunchboxes.com/index.htm">The Easy Lunch Box System</a> includes a lunch box (available in 5 colors) and a set of four compartmentalized storage containers. The Easy Lunch box is made out of non-vinyl products. They are roomy enough to hold the <a href="http://www.easylunchboxes.com/products/food_containers/index.htm">Easy Lunch box storage container</a>, ice pack, drink and a few snack. I also like that they have a grommet on the handle that makes personalizing each bag easier...also looks better than writing our names on them in permanent marker.The <a href="http://www.easylunchboxes.com/products/food_containers/index.htm">Easy Lunch box storage containers</a> come in a four pack with four different colored lids. They are made out of non-toxic, food-safe, polypropylene (PP or plastic #5), BPA-free lunch boxes, and phthalate-free. They are freezable, microwave and dishwasher safe. These storage containers make organizing meals easier and with less containers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/S640geVoDcI/AAAAAAAAAfw/jGP6ViKK4GU/s1600/box+and+bags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/S640geVoDcI/AAAAAAAAAfw/jGP6ViKK4GU/s320/box+and+bags.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I truly love my Easy Lunch box. Although, I've had some issues with the containers. The lids to my containers don't seem to fit securely. The lids come off easily and have caused spillage in the lunch box. I'm not putting liquid foods in them and they were washed on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Perhaps they would have worked better if they were hand washed. The two side compartments seem small to me for adult servings but work great if your just packing some sliced fruit or granola. All in all the <a href="http://www.easylunchboxes.com/">Easy Lunch box System</a> is easy to use, affordable, and helps save time and money. Here are some healthy lunch ideas they had listed on their website below:<br />

When I was pregnant, I found it difficult to find fashionable maternity clothes. It is almost an oxymoron. I mostly wore my scrub pants and a plain tee maternity shirt. Not very attractive but comfortable and cheap. <a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Moody Mamas</a> offers hip fashionable maternity clothes for the "pregnant movie star" in all of us. <a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Moody </a><a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Mamas</a> has an extensive collection of maternity tops, dresses, bottoms, and nursing attire at department store prices ( prices range from $40 - $120) You can shop <a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Moody Mamas</a> online or at other retails such as Target and Nordstroms.<br />

<a href="http://www.moodymamas.com/fierce-mamas/">Fierce Mamas</a> designs by Christian Siriano (former winner of Project Runway) is an exclusive higher end colletction also available from <a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Moody Mamas</a>. <a href="http://www.moodymamas.com/fierce-mamas/">Fierce Mamas</a> designs are about twice as expensive as <a href="http://moodymamas.com/">Moody Mamas</a> with prices ranging in the mid-100's to high $200's. A bit too pricey for my wallet but maybe not yours. I guess you can invest the money if you know your going to have more than one pregnancy and will reuse the clothes.<br />

The next time your child asks you for a new pet you can say, "YES"! No more worrying about getting a pet that you'll ultimately end up taking care of because the children lose interest, are too busy, or whatever new excuse they come up with this week. <a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pets</a> are great because it's not just a pillow... its a pet! These award winning (<i><b>iParenting Media Award</b></i><i><b> & The 2009 Dr. Toy Best Vacation Product ) </b></i><a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pets</a> come in 28 different animal friend choices; so whether your child likes unicorns, monkeys, or dolphins there is bound to be a <a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pet</a> that is made just for them. <a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pets</a> are made out of super soft chenille fabric and open up to make a full size pillow. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/S4WsKHDY15I/AAAAAAAAAbY/FrPcFew5O_k/s1600-h/pillowpets1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/S4WsKHDY15I/AAAAAAAAAbY/FrPcFew5O_k/s320/pillowpets1.png" /></a></div><a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pets</a> are affordable ($19.95) so they make a great gift for any occasion. They are sized right to be great travel companions as well and since they double as a pillow you will save on space while traveling. I know being the mother of two that we have to pack the house whenever we travel. Since the <a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pet</a> can double as a toy and a pillow that is one less thing I have to pack! The <a href="http://pillowpets.com/">Pillow Pet</a> is secured with easy to use Velcro and when open the Velcro has a cloth cover to keep hair, fuzz, and other debris from sticking to the Velcro.I put a few of my favorites below. <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ve worn <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">glasses</a> since I was in the 3<sup>rd</sup> grade. One could say that I have a love hate relationship with them. Buying new glasses has always been as exciting as going to the dentist for me. Do you know how hard it is to pick out frames when you are too blind to see the frames on your face? Very frustrating. I usually depend on my husband’s opinion on whether or not a frame looks good or not, unfortunately our tastes aren’t always the same. My vision is too poor for contacts, so unless I want to shell out nearly $7000 for custom Lasik then <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">eyeglasses</a> it is. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So when GlassesUSA contacted me to review their <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">prescription glasses</a> I jumped at the opportunity. I do have to admit that it is hard to shop for <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">glasses online</a> when you can’t physically put them on but it does take off some of the pressure of buying. GlassesUSA has a huge variety of frames to choose from. I honestly had a hard time picking just one pair. The good news is that since the frames are so reasonably priced that you can buy more than more pair! The ordering process was easy and all I had to do is get my prescription from my Optometrist. You can either provide the script online, fax it, or email it. They provide all of the same "extras" that other optical shops. You can purchase additional options such as light and thin lenses, AR coating, or anti-scratch coating which range in cost from $4.95 to $110 extra. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I got the “Storm Blue” drill mount rimless frames which were $49.95 including lenses (plus S & H which is free for orders over $99.) My order arrived in a little over a week. They included a cleaning cloth and hard shell case. It also came with a coupon for 15% off my next purchase and a coupon for a friend for 10% off. I'm really impressed with these prescription eyeglasses. They are made out of light weight and flexible metal so they are easy on the nose and durable. I did find that one of the difficulties of purchasing frames online is that they don't come adjusted to fit. I had to take mine to an optical shop to have them fitted properly and have the arms cut down to fit. My optical shop did this for free. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>GlassesUSA is one of the leading online eye glasses websites and since they own their optical lab they can pass the saving onto their customers. A complete pair of eyeglasses start from around $18, free shipping for orders of $99, and come with a 100% Satisfaction guarantee. GlassesUSA ensures that their lenses exceed FDA requirements and must undergo and pass their "5-Stripe" process prior to shipment. GlassesUSA uses the best products and technologies to manufacture and process the lenses backed by their "money back guarantee".</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Buy It: </b>Visit GlassesUSA and find the eyeglasses that are right for you. Prices for a complete set of single vision lenses with frames start around $18.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Win It: </b>GlassesUSA is offering one my readers a free pair of single vision lenses and frames of their choice for free! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
God has called his angel, <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Layla</a>, back to heaven. <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Layla Grace</a> passed away on 3/9/10 in the arms of her parents. My thought and prayers go out to the <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Marsh Family. </a>I know that there are no words that could possibly make losing your beautiful baby any easier. Take comfort in knowing that she is at her higher powers side dancing around in her tutu and feeling no more pain. I will continue the good fight in your honor <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Layla</a>. May our higher power continue to work his magic through my hands as I work daily with these beautiful angels.<br />

<br />
To my followers and blogger friends; keep <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Layla's</a> family in your thoughts and prayers. Help spread <a href="http://laylagrace.org/">Layla's</a> story and awareness for Neuroblastoma. Layla's family still needs helps covering medical expenses. If you'd like to help you can donate through <a href="http://bit.ly/layladonate%20">PayPal</a> or make a deposit at Wells Fargo Bank to the Layla Grace Marsh donation account. <a href="http://littledivastutus.com/">Little Diva's Tutus </a>is also continuing to make the "<a href="http://www.littledivatutus.com/">Layla Grace Tutu</a>" and proceeds from its sale goes directly to the Marsh Family.<br />

We've all heard it before. Children can be a challenge when it comes to ensuring a balanced nutrition. I know I have had to be creative at times to get Mahayla to eat anything other than a turkey sandwich or pancakes everyday. Mahayla really is not a picky eater for her age. However, she does have a selective aversion to green foods. She will only eat spinach or broccoli if it is well disguised and only the "flat" green beans. I usually chop up the spinach and broccoli to where its unrecognizable and add it to brown rice. </div>Previously I reviewed the <a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Baby Food</a> making kit from <a href="http://freshbaby.com/">Fresh Baby</a> and loved the product. It was a fast, healthy, and cheap way to make baby food. Now <a href="http://freshbaby.com/">Fresh Baby</a> has written a cookbook for the next step in the food making evolution...<i><b><a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook</a>.</b></i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://freshbaby.com/"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K-rU0z0kfPI/S5CAK9JZT2I/AAAAAAAAAco/WrnImhd07RY/s320/So_Easy_Toddler_Button.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The<i><b> <a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook</a></b></i> has some wonderful recipes that are toddler friendly. Mahayla loves the Banana Strawberry Smoothie, the breakfast burrito, and the broccoli and rice casserole. I love the fact that they have included in the cookbook tips on developing healthy eating habits and how to deal with picky eaters. The<i><b> <a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook</a> </b></i>also references the "Ten Times Rule for Toddlers" which I had never heard of previously. The "Ten Times Rule" is based on a study done by the American Academy of Pediatrics that concluded that the average toddler might need to see a new food on their plate 10 times before they will try it. All the recipes include pictures of the finished dish along with the nutritional facts for each.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All in all, the <i><b><a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook</a></b></i> is easy to use, comes with helpful tips, and some delicious kid friendly recipes. I was a little disappointed that there weren't more recipes (35 total). The paperback book is thin and is less than 50 pages. The <i><b><a href="http://freshbaby.com/">So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook</a></b></i> is reasonably priced at $8.95 and is available in both English and Spanish publications. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
