It's time for Saturday's Top 5 Laughs! Woo-Hoo! I missed last week's round-up because my allergies were kicking my butt. This week I have more cute and funny things for everyone, though! When you're done reading mine, go link up your own laughs or visit the other participating blogs! 1. Sophie has a hard time saying certain letters. M is one of them. So instead of calling me Mommy, she calls me Bobby. True story. 2. Speaking of Sophie, check her out as she dances to Lil Wayne and Bruno Mars! 3. Speaking of Bruno Mars...Check out Sophie's new look! 4. My babies seem to be more interested in boxes than in toys.... 5. Yesterday I was changing the babies' diapers. Xander was naked and crawled away right as Sophie started climbing on me. I had to chase him down. He made it all the way to our foyer, which has hard wood floors. So here's Xander, naked, peeing all over the floor and splashing in his "puddle". Yuck! To make matters worse, Sophie then tried to splash in it, too, as I furiously tried to wipe it up with a few baby wipes. Needless to say, both babies got baths!

I am totally obsessed with the Kardashians. Yes, they're twits. Yes, they're snobby. Yes, they have the combined IQ of a pencil. But I still watch them, with envy, religiously. My husband just rolls his eyes when I settle in for a Kardashian marathon or set yet another of their reality shows to record on our DVR. He doesn't see what all the fuss is about, but he begrudgingly sits down and laughs at them with me. What a great guy, huh? You've got to love a man who will watch "chick shows" without much complaint, even when Rambo is playing on TV. You might ask, why would I be jealous? Sure, I can form a complete sentence. I don't use the word "Bible" excessively and out of context, and I am NOT snobby in the slightest. My IQ? Well, let's just say I was in Gifted and Talented classes all throughout my educational career. So why would I be insanely jealous of the Kardashian clan? Well, aside from the fact that these gals have seemingly alien DNA that makes them virtually flawless at all times, even first thing in the morning or while having a complete hissy-fit meltdown, I am jealous of the booty. Yep. They all have junk in the trunk. These gals have butts that would make Sir Mix-A-Lot himself scream "Baby's got back". They are beautiful and absolutely booty-licious. You see, I have no ass. At all. None. Nada. Zilch. My butt is tiny and has no roundness to it whatsoever. I think that nature played a cruel joke on me and put what should have gone to my derriere into my boobs. I am 5'4", 130lbs, and I am a D cup. Yes, I am blessed with boobage, and for this I am grateful. I just wish I had a booty to balance it out and give me those centerfold-like curves that could stop traffic. Alas, that wasn't the case. Unless I want to get major plastic surgery, I had to simply accept the fact that I would never be able to properly fill out a pair of jeans. That is until I discovered Bubbles Bodywear. This line of amazing shapewear is the answer to booty-less women's prayers! They offer a huge selection of shapewear specifically designed to put some junk in an otherwise empty trunk. What does that mean for ME? Instant, natural looking curves! Bubbles Bodywear has a ton of different styles of padded panties available, ranging from light enhancement to downright booty-licious bubble butts! They come in several colors and styles, and there is even a line of padded swimwear! (I am going to HAVE to purchase one of their swimsuits before summer arrives!) On top of booty-enhancing garments, Bubbles also offers a terrific line of apparel, bras, and even a special line for men whose bums are a bit lacking. (My ex-husband could seriously benefit from this!) I especially love their MinMax Cleavage Enhancer Bra! Hey, after 3 kids, my boobs are in decent shape. They don't sag to my waist by any means. But I could still use a little lift now and then, especially when wearing a skimpy little dress on date night! Hey, sometimes we need to flaunt our assets and remind our men that we're more than just the mother of their children...We're still the same foxy ladies they fell in love with before we had babies! The awesome folks at Bubbles Bodywear sent me some of their Caboost padded panties to review. These padded panties offer maximum enhancement, built-in molded pads and a midrise waistline. Providing moderate tummy control and a big boost to your backside, these underwear add shape and size in a traditional panty style. The midrise style offers about 2 inches of boost, one of the thickest padded undies you'll find on the market today. ![]() My son has a little Jack-A-Bee (Jack Russel-Beagle mix) named Chloe. Chloe is 4 years old, but still behaves much like a puppy. She's energetic, friendly, and loves to go on long walks and play at the park. We have had her for over a year now, and she is my son's best friend and accompanies him wherever he goes. She's an awesome little dog, even though she tends to get herself into trouble every now and then. (What pet doesn't, though?) As any pet lover knows, our furry friends are a lot like children. They require a lot of time and attention, they make messes, and they even get into considerable mischief. But no matter what they do, we can't stay mad at them when they look up at us with this big, soft eyes or hop in our laps to give us kisses. Yes, we love our pets like we love our kids, even though they will never learn to wipe their own bottoms or clean up their messes as children eventually do. That's why finding effective pet care products is so important. In order to keep an animal-friendly home looking and smelling it's best, even after the messiest of pet accidents, having great products on hand is key. I have tried several products that may take a stain away, but leave a lingering odor. I don't know about you, but in my mind, nothing is truly clean unless it smells clean, too! That's why I was excited to learn about OUT! Pet Care Products. This special line of products addresses the toughest problems pet owners tackle, from potty-training, pet messes, shedding, and even proper waste disposal. Their cleaning products look especially amazing since they not only clean messes, but address the root of the problem as well. You know how pets tend to mess in one area, over and over again? This is because pheremones are left behind that attract an animal to a particular spot, basically telling them this is their "potty place." Well, the OUT! Stain & Odor Remover uses a unique, natural pro-bacteria and enzyme formula that not only permanently removes stains and odors, it also removes the pheremones, too, to prevent re-soiling. And that's just one of their many products! They also carry Hard Surface Stain & Odor Remover for those with wood floors, a special cat formula, training pads, and so much more! OUT! has even come up with some adorable viral videos bringing the biggest news in pet care. In these videos, the furry news anchors at PNN give you the scoop on OUT! Pet Care Products in fun and often humorous ways. I especially love the Rex Doberman Celebrity Cribs Edition! These videos are a lot of fun, and had my toddlers laughing hysterically! Take a look! ![]() As the proud mama of a little princess and a little prince, I adore cute, unique baby clothes. Babies are only tiny once, and I love being able to dress them in special outfits that are not only over-the-top cute, but also reflect their larger than life personalities. Sure, I shop at major retailers for clothing basics, but I also love adding extra special pieces to my babies' wardrobes. You know what I mean...The types of outfits that make Grandmas swoon and Aunties pinch their cheeks and squeal with delight. Those are the outfits that make for wonderful memories, in my humble opinion. They are also outfits you simply cannot find at big box retailers. So where do I turn when I am looking for something absolutely precious for my toddlers to wear? MyBabyClothes.com, of course! I have been a loyal fan of this online boutique since my daughter was a newborn. They offer simply the best baby and toddler apparel available on the market today from sought-after brands like Mud Pie, Bonnie Jean, Haute Baby, Zilly Bean, and many more! Whether you have a newborn or a full-blown rambunctious toddler, you'll always be able to find something at My Baby Clothes that makes you say "Awww". My Baby Clothes adds to their extensive inventory on a regular basis, so there's always great new finds to discover. Everything sold at My Baby Clothes is lovingly handpicked by their baby fashionistas and guaranteed to be of the absolute highest quality. I have several items from this boutique, and I have yet to be disappointed. One of the things I love the best about MyBabyClothes.com is that they offer a wide variety of styles that are suitable for virtually any occasion. There's adorable playwear, fancy formal wear, Holiday and birthday apparel, and even a ton of great accessories to complete the look. I am absolutely in love with their toddler fedoras, and plan to get one for my little Xander very soon. For one, I love the Bruno Mars look. Secondly, he insists on wearing his sister's furry neon pink hat all the time. Not exactly masculine! It's time that my Boobers gets some baby hats of his own! The awesome folks at My Baby Clothes recently sent me the uber-feminine Bonnie Jean Red Heart Tutu Dress for my review. First of all, this is SO Sophie. My daughter is a little diva, through and through. She has attitude and spunk, but is also a very girly-girl and demands attention wherever she goes. Especially from the men! (Yes, I am dreading her teenage years already!) The Bonnie Jean Red Heart Tutu Dress embodies her personality perfectly. It's fun, flirty, feminine, and even has a bit of edginess to it, just like my little girl. ![]() I have to admit, I take a ton of supplements. I like to give my body the best possible nutrition, and it's not always possible through diet alone, since I am a very picky eater. There are more things on my "do not eat" list than most peoples'. I don't eat eggs, onions, peanut butter, cabbage, breakfast foods, sweets, sour cream, mayonnaise, sauerkraut, game meats, and the list goes on and on...Yep. I really am that picky! One of the things I take, sometimes begrudgingly, is fish oil. You see, I don't eat most seafood. I hate the taste and smell of things that are overly fishy. Fish contains so many important nutrients, like omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, so I take supplements to make sure I am getting the benefits without having to actually eat fish. I have a love-hate relationship with most fish oil supplements. Many of them have nasty side effects like tummy troubles and upset, a bad aftertaste, and foul, smelly fish burps. Yuck! Finding the right fish oil supplements has been a chore, and through trial and error, I have found a few that work for me without making me gag. One supplement I am really loving right now is the Ultimate Omega-D3 by Nordic Naturals. Ultimate Omega-D3 provides exceptionally high levels of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, in addition to 1000 I.U. of vitamin D3, in one delicious, lemon flavored serving. Vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol) is the natural form of vitamin D produced by the body, and is better absorbed and utilized than other forms. This is one of Nordic Naturals most popular concentrated formulas. How does this benefit you? You get double-strength EPA+DHA for increased omega-3 benefits in fewer soft gels. In addition, natural vitamin D3 is added for strong bones and a healthy immune system. The doseage is two soft gels daily, with food or as directed by your health care practitioner. ![]() Spring Break is rapidly approaching, or may already be here for some of you. As the parent of a tween, I know how easy it is for kids to get the "boredom bug" during extended breaks from school. My son in particular tends to go completely stir-crazy when he's off for more than a couple of days. He's 12, so he's at that awkward age where he doesn't want to play with his toddler siblings all day, and he's certainly too cool to pal around with his mom. He likes to "do his own thing" most of the time, and tends to run out of things to do quite rapidly. This leads to frustration not only for him, but for me, too! That's why I was so excited to learn about the My Friendship Bracelet Maker Traveler from Choose Friendship. This is the same company that brought the Grandpa invented My Friendship Bracelet Maker Original to the scene some time ago. They even have an awesome My Ribbon Barrette Maker, too, which is a must have for families with little princesses. I plan on buying one of these to make barrettes for my little Sophie! Anyhow, the My Friendship Bracelet Maker Traveler is an awesome way to combat Spring Break boredom for older kids and tweens. My son is very crafty and artistic, so I knew right away that this innovative bracelet making tool would provide him with hours of entertainment. Using this portable tool and tons of detailed patterns, you can create beautiful friendship bracelets to suit anyone's individual style. There's even a handy tote bag to carry the My Friendship Bracelet Maker Traveler in while you're on the go! |
