Kidz Can Design Jewelry Review & GiveAway!!!

I recently partnered up with Kidz Can Design to bring you this awesome GiveAway!
Kids Can Design specializes in converting your child’s work of art into a high quality sterling silver custom piece of jewelry. You can use any traditional drawings created on a piece of paper, or an image of your choice which then can be turned in to either a Pendant or Charm to cherish forever!

How frickin' awesome is that? I was so excited and apprehensive when my package arrived. Because i knew what was inside, Instead of having Katie or Gracie's drawling converted, I choose to have the only masterpiece i will ever have of my sweet Angel baby Trent Junior's, his hand print!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I open the little silver box to see his tiny hand print converted into a beautiful charm, I couldn't hold back the tears!! It's amazing and will be forever cherished!





Mommy Approved!
I highly recommend this company, easy to order and such awesome friendly staff!

Who wants to win their very own personalize design from Kidz Can Design?? We will be giving one of awesome readers the chance to design their very own charm!!


Good luck!!

DoodleHugs Review!

I'm soooo excited to tell you about this wonderful company called DoodleHugs!
I was contacted by the owner and crafter of these awesome huggable creations, Karon.
Here is a little awesomeness about Karon.

Hi I'm Karon...

Your child's artwork is my inspiration to craft a soft, huggable toy. I will reproduce the design as close as possible using colorful soft fabrics. These custom made soft toys are one of a kind.

I have been a crafter for over 30 years. My hobbies are crafting, sewing and crocheting - usually with my own designs. My craft designs have been featured in national publications.

I have made numerous toys for children and I love seeing them smile with that first big hug.


All DoodleHugs are proudly made in the USA.
If you have any questions or special requests please contact Karon at Karon@doodlehugs.com


How much does it cost?
Prices start at $65 and up, depending on complexity and details in the child’s drawing along with the size of the soft toy. Please email Karon at Karon@doodlehugs.com and attach a copy of the child's drawing for a quote or use the Request a Quote Form. Shipping charges (postage and handling) are $10 for U.S. destinations. For international destinations, a shipping quote will be supplied.

How big is the soft toy?
Usually around 12 to 20 inches wide or long.

How do I send the drawing to you?
You can upload an image of the drawing (jpg, gif, pdf files only) in the Request a Quote Form or you can send it as an attachment to Karon@doodlehugs.com.

How long will it take?
From two to six weeks after payment is processed. Rush orders are possible, but there will be an additional cost which will be quote for you.

What are the toys made of?
A wide range of fabrics that include cotton solids and prints, fleece, felt, flannels, other embellishments, etc. The toys are stuffed with new, hypoallergenic 100% polyester fiberfill. Not intended for children under 3.

What if I’m not happy with the DoodleHug?
Refunds are not provided as these are custom designed one-of-a-kind items. However, once you receive the DoodleHug, if there is a problem, you are welcome to contact Karon and she will try to make adjustments. Additional charges may apply.

Can I specify the fabrics I want or can I send you some fabric (an old favorite piece of clothing or blanket) to be used in the soft toy?
Sure, if it is a fabric she thinks work with, Karon will be happy to incorporate it.

Do you have examples of DoodleHugs?
Please view Karon's gallery by clicking here.


 My Opinion-
I think this idea is so frickin' AWESOME! I am artistic and I can proudly say that I handed down the art gene to Kat! She and I are always doodling or crafting. I still have art work from my youth, I knew I kept them for a reason, to show her where she got her talent from! Ok, we may not be the best artists in the world but, to us we are frickin'  Leonardo da Vinci's LOL
The night I got the email from Karon and showed Kat, she was like a little printing press at the kitchen table with her art pad and crayons.

Katie's current fascination
Zombie girl
(From the mind of Katie)

Kat had a very hard time choosing which one to have Karon make for her.
I told her to go with what is fun and exciting!
So she choose the Zombie girl!!
Which was a fabulous choice! Zombie girl is so adorable(I love the mind of my Kat) She has such a wonderful imagination!

Here is the finished product!!

Kat Loves her Zombie girl!!








We are so very impressed with the details and craftsmanship, if you notice on the photos Karon even made the bite chunk from Zombie girls side, Karon is amazing!
I highly recommend checking her website out and bringing your children's art to life!!

1st Birthday Bash Event-Splash N' Boots Review & GiveAway!


Happy Birthday Month, Gracie Girl!



I would like to present you with our 1st review and giveaway of our 1st Birthday Bash Event!
Gracie absolutely LOVES Splash N' Boots DVD "The Splash N' Boots Show Act II & the CD "The coconuts don't fall far from the tree". Soon as it arrived in the mail, we tore it open and popped it in the DVD player, as the first song got started so did Gracie! She loves to shake her bootata!
I do believe out favorite song and video is "Emma the Dancing Unicorn"!

Cute and Corky, right!
It fits perfectly perfect in to our family, if you read my Facebook then you know how corky, crazy and funny my girls are, never a dull moment!
Here is a little information from the source about who Splash N' Boots are & where they come from!
The history of Splash'N Boots can be traced back to 2003 in Kingston, Ontario Canada. It was there, while attending Queens University, that Taes and Nick performed their first concert together at the local Central Library as part of a class project. After performing 3 original songs to 14 unsuspecting people, Taes and Nick could have stopped there at the height of their game, however, in that fifteen minute show, they realized that there was no going back - Splash'N Boots was born! Splash'N Boots kept on finding places to perform in the Kingston area and then, with money they didn't have, they recorded and released their first album; "Getting our Feet Wet," to a growing fan base. Upon graduation in 2005, to the valid confusion of their parents (and themselves!), Taes and Nick took Splash'N Boots on the road fulltime.
And now from what I hear they are aired on Canada's TV version of Nickelodeon! Pretty awesome if you ask me!

 

Buy It: Purchase your own copies online!


Win It: One of our awesome readers will WIN A Cd & Dvd!

Facebook Highlights!!



So, since Facebook has decided to be an asshatter and not show over HALF our posts to you and the fact I post regularly on my personal page rather then posting on my
"Facebook Page"( I need to change that) I thought why not post some highlights here on the Blog! Feel free to like my "Fan Page"!! I have been thinking of doing the FB Highlights for a couple of weeks now and then I notice a few other bloggers started doing a Facebook Friday type post on their blogs, I guess great blogger minds think alike, right?!! I may or may not post weekly, I may or may not post monthly.. Depends on how this post goes! I skipped all the boring stuff like what we had for dinner, so don't worry I'll try not to bore you!
Here ya go!

*Dyed my hair finally(Chocolate Brown) and the shower felt amazing ;0)
I was once again slacking(what's new?) and forgot to post some more Katie moments last night! So, we were sitting down doing homework, Katie's folder has the initials'"AM" on the front, so I asked "what does "AM" stand for?" Katie said "it stands for "something memory". So, I'm thinking in my head "great tool to help the kids remember, it totally worked on Katie, haha" and I said "come on what's it stand for?" Katie aggregately busted out with "it stands for work until we die". Stephanie and I busted out laughing so hard I think I peed a little! Then we ran to the store and Katie wanted money for yet ANOTHER LPS, I said "dude, you sure like to spend my money" She then said "yea, cause I like to get things, all kids like toys and candy and stuff".. Yes, Katie yes they do... I couldn't argue with that reasoning, could I? So I didn't and said "NO" Bahahahaha! We just had this "money don't grow on trees" talk the other day, you work, do your chores, home work, ect THEN you get paid at the end of the week(if you're lucky)! ;0)~

*Katie is on my last damn nerve with this making some nasty shit and trying serve it to me thinking she is all funny and shit. She decided to make a sandwich of..... Ketchup(tons of it) 2 slices of cheese and 6 banana peppers(with stems still attached).. She brings it to me all proud of herself(snickering) GUESS WHAT KATIE'S HAVING FOR SUPPER TONIGHT?!!!!
(To many comments for me to take the time to type, all I can say is you should have been there LOL)

*I have about a flucktillion gray hairs on my head and I have had a bottle of hair dye sitting on the dresser for over a week(maybe longer). Slacker I am and knowing I do!
Comments:( I had to share those too!)
SY: Thanks now you got me saying flucking lmao
ME: It's an awesome word, that you can awesomely use while having children.. It really confuses them! Katie is all like "MOM, that's a BAD word" and I'm all like "Nope, get your facts straight you little flucker"!! LMAO ;0)~
ME: Ok, Bad Momma Jomma is off to put together a bike thingy we got today for the littlest flucker LOL I will return
*There's margarita in my freezer, i̶t̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶e̶a̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶r̶t̶ ̶d̶r̶i̶n̶k̶i̶n̶g. I keep hearing my name being whispered from the kitchen. So I whispered back "Soon, my precious, soon". ;0)
Comments:( I had to share those too!)
SY: I want one :)) save me one lol
ME: You coming over? or you at work?
SY: I'm at work. I get off at 8. I might be coming over after work. Idk yet. But ill let you know
ME: OK! ;0)
LO: Is there one with my name on it?
ME: I will write your name on it with a magical pen, if you show up in 15 minutes it's yours if not the ink with magically transform to my name LOL ;0)~~
DE: You're just too damned funny, Sharon; you could be making bank at comedy.
*OK, this TOOTH is getting an eviction notice in the morning!! Yesterday I tried to eat a piece of my sisters evil orange gum balls and a sharp piece stabbed my nerve(i think) I literally wanted to punch the little flucking gum ball in the stupid little orange face(if it had one) now tonight i bit in to a piece of meat which happen to stab my nerve again(i think), so I stabbed the flucker about 50 zillion times with my steak knife and slammed his sorry pain inflicting ass in the yard. Tooth, if you weren't attached to my gums i swear i would take a hammer to your stupid ugly evil self, when i have the dentist remove you I'm gonna keep you and bring you home just to smash you with the hammer!!!!!!!!! Gah.
 Comments:( I had to share those too!)
SY: Lmaolmaolmao lmao
ZL: Nerve of tooth hurting felt worse than ANY labor pain I ever had!
ME: That's what I just told Stacey last night lol
DE: Sharon, you shouldn't limit your writing to your blog; you have great comedic talent.
SS: Lmao look out tooth she's after ya!
ME: Well, Thank you, Dougward! I have been neglecting the poor poor blog lately! I was just thinking the other day about posting all my Facebook statues to my blog as a weekly subject, then i seen a TOP blogger just started doing it this week. So, I was all like fluck this bish is flucking up my day!!! Oh well, it's gonna happen anyways!! ;0)
HubberLover: I'm sorry baby! I really know how you feel!!!! Would rub ur jaw for you if I was home! Love you!!!!! Xoxoxoxo
ME: Thank you, baby! I know you do and it suckssss! I love you too!! xoxox

I look at her mouth and it's a little brown thingy, so I reached in and grabbed it..... It was a freaking soggy bacon bit lmao!! Instead of Lil'Bit we can now call her Bacon'Bit ;0)~
*Ok, Everything seems better... Man, that was scary. I jumped up, grabbed the diaper bag and started stuffing it with everything I could LOL I was even preparing to grab Gracie throw her in the tub with a mattress over her!! Whew, I need to go back to bed.

ME: SS, trolls invade the refrigerator. It's gnomes that dirty, spread out and lose the laundry. The war will never end, we just have to keep battling on!!!! ;0)
SS: I'll get my shield
*Gotta clean out the refrigerator, I keep putting it off because I'm SCARED LOL There's a chance creepy little warty trolls with sharp fangy teeth and slimy smelly hands have taken up residency in there. Yes, I know that's what it is. Only they would leave the cap off the milk and spill leftovers without cleaning it up right??? So it must be the trolls!!!! Gah.
*Windows open with the cool breeze flowing through, the sound of rolling thunder and the smell of rain! So relaxing if it stays this way I may get some awesome sleep tonight! This would have been a perfect night to sit on the front porch just talking and drinking coffee with my HubberLover. I love you and miss you so much ♥
*Ok, Wish me LUCK!!! I'm about to embark on a journey I may not return from... The Girls Room... It will be a long and rough journey with blood, sweat and LOTS of tears. Please pray for me!!! Thank you ♥ ;0)~

*Katie wanted to Zombiefy herself and WOW she is CREEPY!!!!
*I gave Gracie some banana yogurt bites and she dropped one on the floor, I go to pick it up to trash it and she hurry's up and snatches it out of my hand while screaming at me for touching it and shoves it in her mouth THEN bites down so hard that I couldn't get it out of her mouth!! Whoa Piggy Pie!!!
*MINE!! Cheese cake Heaven ;0)
*Ok, so I HAVE to tell ya'll this real quick! On the way to C-land Katie asked "what would happen if there were not trees"? Scotty said "we would die, cause trees give us air". Katie then says "well, we do have air fresheners"!!!!! Then on the way back Stephanie's wind shield wipers make a loud noise going across the wind shield and Katie pops off with "Mom, REALLY"? I'm like "What"? She's all like "why you gotta fart"? LMAO she really thought I did!!! She is such a trip!

*Papa came out of the bathroom and Katie tried to tale on Scotty for making prank calls BUT papa heard me telling her over and over to do something, he told her well you ain't listening to your Mom sooooo.... She turned around ASKED me if she could do the dishes!!!!! LMAO
*In the middle of dinner which was shockingly silent, Katie pops off with "Have you ever skinny dipped, Mom?" With a mouth full of steak I snickered and said "Nope, I chunky dunk!" To which Katie replied "Oh, Mom that was so inappropriate, by the way what is skinny dipping and chunky dunking?" LMAO This whole convo is inappropriate, ask me again when your 40!!!!!
*NEVER feed your baby and try to eat at the same time no matter how hungry you are!! You may just end up with a mouth full of mechanical soft squash LMAO YUM-O!!!!!!!!

Guest Post- Review of Melbourne Blind Company


Recently I had some work done by Melbourne Blind Company and could not be more satisfied. I want to give them a good review to let you all know how happy I am! I have been looking new blinds for ages, and I had a lot of trouble finding something that I liked because the top quality blinds are so expensive, but with Melbourne Blind Company I was able to find the quality and price that suited me, not to mention great service. Because we have some windows in the house that use external window shading and some use internal, so I had to look for varying shades to use in different parts of the house. I wanted to get rid of my outdated curtains as well.
There were heaps to choose from; roller glides, panel glides, romans, verticals, venetians, aluminums, shutters and blackouts. In the end I went for shutters in some parts of the house, which are external shades, and in other rooms I picked venetians in different colours depending on the colour scheme of the room they were in. I love venetians because you can control the amount of light they let in by adjusting the slant, or open the window completely by having them pulled all the way up. I'm so excited to finally have my new blinds installed in time for summer!
