Lets talk Laryngomalacia

Hello! It is almost National airway defect awareness day! July 10th we are asking friends and family to pain their nails light blue to spread awareness of this infant defect. Pj was born at 37 weeks. He was small, but strong. Everything seemed fine, until they came in and said his breathing  was too fast and we couldn't hold him. That was the start to our journey. He couldn't gain weight, and he made awful sounds of gasping and screeching. He would choke and turn blue. Our pediatric dr wasn't sure what was going on. Thankfully a perfect stranger on a Facebook page suggested a condition called Laryngomalacia. I brought it up and Pj was taken to a Pediatric ENT (ear,nose,throat) He was amazing. He took one look down Pj's airway, and Pj was immediately scheduled for surgery 2 days later. He is now almost 1yr old and doing well. He is walking and starting to be on the growth chart! This defect could have been critical had it not been caught. I'm so thankful for our angel and now hoping to get word out to help other babies. So please, July 10th paint your nails light blue! 

The company Good Earth Beauty sent us this awesome polish. 

It is all natural and non toxic. It goes on smooth, and it is so shiny! You only need about 2 coats. Best part....it comes of easy with remover, but takes a long time to chip on your nails!! Check them out Here!!

Heat...Curls...and Headbands!!!

Hey all!!! So this hot weather has resulted in one happy girl with really curly hair! I have always loved headbands, but with loads of hair and a big head....they just don't work. That is until I found these sweet bands by Silly Yogi!!! 

They are super comfortable. No headband headache, and they do not pull your hair. They stay in place perfectly...and they are so cute! The price is on point for these quality made headbands! Check them out Here!!

A summer cold and a product review

Hey all!
Well we have had a summer cold creep through our house. I was sure I was in the clear, and then today I woke up with the dreaded sore throat. It has started. Thankfully I have plenty of essential oils and pro biotics so I will survive. (If anyone wants to bring soup over I wouldn't say no;)
Today I want to share a really fun and functional kitchen essiental. They a are called "Expand-A-Lid" from Spice 'n Spoon.

 
These lids are awesome. So when you clear the table and can not find a lid, just grab one of these lids and stretch over the top of th bowl or plate. I used it on my cup when outside to keep creatures out. They are dishwaher and  freezer safe. They fit over virtually every bowl or plate. It comes in a 6 pack with all different sizes. The price point is great!  These would make great gifts, and get some for yourslf too! Check them out Here!
Stay tuned this week for a new beauty product review and some light blue nail polish for Infant airway defect awareness day!

Happy Birthday Shout Out and A little Review

Today is a such a beautiful day, and such a special day.  I want to give a very special Birthday shout out to my Lovely Mother In Law.  She is such a wonderful gal, and such an incredible Grandma.  I am excited that we get to celebrate her today!  She raised such an incredible family with loads of Love.  So...Happy Birthday Mom!  Hope your day finds you in the best possible way!!!
Along with birthday, we may as well acknowledge the awesome heat today!  I love spending the day in the sprinklers and sun.  The kiddos are having a blast splashing and playing.  What a great day!

I have found, in the last few weeks, that Grace may have inherited my love for purses.  She wants to buy every one she sees.  So when the wonderful people at Back From Bali sent us this purse, Grace was elated.


This patchwork purse has sparkly sequins all over the body of it.  This made G so happy. It has a Velcro close flap, for easy open and close.  It is big enough to hold everything a little lady needs, yet small enough for them to carry around.  It has an adjustable strap for length as well.  It is also quite durable.  This purse has been everywhere with us, and it is as good as when she first got it.  If you need a gift for a little lady, this is a great place to start!!! You can check them out Here.

Get out, enjoy the weather, and have a wonderful day!

Hello rainy day, Let's make a video review!

We are diving into the wonderful world of video reviews. Im not gret at this yet. You will probably get a kick out of them. Guest appearances by our cats and Pj too!  So enjoy and let it make you smile.
Today we are talking about mini makeup. This is a gift every little lady wold love. It feels as close to real make up as you can get.  This is the Mini-Clutch purse kit Girls Pretend make up by Mini-Play makeup.  It comes with pretend blush and eyeshadow.  It feels as close to real as you can get. It also has lip gloss (pretend) but has a real roller ball. A full set of real (but mini) make up brushes with a little bag for them, are also included.  All of this is stored in an adorable make up bag. Im telling you, this is perfect.  G absolutely loves it. She feels like she is really putting makeup on. It is a must have.
