“Dream Big for Africa” with Katharine McPhee #socialgoodmoms

We have all, undoubtedly, heard of Malaria. But do you really know the mind boggling statistics, in Africa, behind this horrific disease? It kills one child every minute. EVERY MINUTE! So just imagine, if you will, that you have 5 children. Now imagine the 5 of them contracted Malaria. Within 5 short minutes, your entire family could be wiped out. Gone. From a horrific disease that can be lessened by distributing life-saving mosquito nets and malaria medication and education. About Malaria Malaria is an infectious blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria symptoms, which often appear about 9 to 14 days after the infectious mosquito bite, include fever, headache, vomiting and other flu-like … [Read More...]

Disney Baby Daily Renewal Naturals Baby Wash Review

As a mom, I want products that are safe for my children. A lot of products out there contain ingredients that I don't want to use on my kids. So I try to find things that are as natural and affordable as possible. I usually make the soap products we use but I don't always have time and sometimes, I'd like to use a liquid, where I usually make bars. So, I have been testing out Disney Baby Daily Renewal Naturals Baby Wash with my 2 year old daughter. Her skin has been left feeling soft and smells heavenly. Her hair is nice and clean and also smells wonderful. The baby wash doesn't lack in the cleaning department at all. It really cleansed her skin without drying it out. Because of the type of pump, I thought it would be a foam but it is a liquid baby wash. It is fairly thin but lathers … [Read More...]

The New Issues

Thanks for the article from Isaiah Gaines I went to homesecuritySystem.Com to look into alarms for the house. My wife had been complaining nonstop about all kinds of noises she was hearing and I was tired of it – the last thing I wanted to worry about while I was busting my butt working the night shift was whether or not my kids and my woman were okay. So anyway, I’d love to be able to afford to move us to a better part of town but with the babies and my wife not working it’s going to be living here for a while and we’re all going to have to be okay with it. The one redeeming thing about this neighborhood is that we’ve got really great schools and that makes me feel better – knowing my girls are getting a quality education is really important to me. I wonder what it would be … [Read More...]

As an Mompact Independent Consultant, I get access to fabulous mom invented products and this, my friends, is the greatest mom made invention E-V-E-R! Why, do you ask? Well I'll tell you.

Well, this awesome invention gives moms and dads everywhere a break! The Toy Bungee attaches to your childs highchair or any place that the strap can be wrapped around and holds their sippy cup, toy, etc. Then, if they toss it off, they can pull it write back up.

New Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds Pieces Review + Giveaway

I recently had the opportunity to try New Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds Pieces. And let me you, they are YUMMY! Each piece contains an almond covered with Hershey's Milk Chocolate and then covered in a crunchy shell. The pieces are a great size, about the size of a nickel and I would have a photo for you but some rowdy kids polished off the bag when I was sick last week before I had a chance to get my photos. Little thieves! I can say that they passed the kids taste test. My husband tried them and he really liked them too and has agreed to buy a bag just for me. I'm looking forward to tasting them again. I'll have to hide them well though! They are multi-colored in white, tan and brown and the Hershey's chocolate flavor is really good. The almond, chocolate and candy coating … [Read More...]

HippMama Belt Review +GIVEAWAY!

As an Independent Mompact Consultant, I have access too many amazing MOM INVENTED products. One of those is the HippMAMA belt. The HippMAMA is like a tool belt and can hold all of your mom/baby items when you are on the go. At first glance, it might seem a little awkward but I have to say that is is very handy to have around. In fact, I wish I'd had it last year when we took our family to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies. I used a regular travel diaper case strapped to the stroller which was fine until my daughter wanted out of (screamed like a Banshee to get out of) the stroller. Every time we would stop, the stroller would tip over. The HippMAMA belt would have solved the problem because I could have worn it instead and still carried an extra diaper, wipes, ID, cash, keys, smartphone … [Read More...]

Part 2. Champions for Kids Simple Service Projects: #AbbottCFK Nutrition Pack A Snack #cbias

The other day I told you about another Champions for Kids project I am working on to help bring nutritious snacks to children in need. This is the Abbott Champions for Kids Pack a Snack Campaign. For my Snack Pack, I headed to Walmart in search of Abbott brand products because they are the sponsor of this particular Champions for Kids Service Project. Abbott brand products include PediaSure, PediaSure Sidekicks, Zone Perfect Bars, Similac, etc. Because I was making a Snack Pack for a child, I searched for products that would not only be healthy but enticing as well. I am also going to make a Snack Pack for the adult in their lives but only had time and money for the one pack this week, which made me sad. Anyway, I headed to Walmart and this is what I purchased: Zone Perfect Peanut … [Read More...]

Suzanne Woods Fisher’s “The Keeper” Book Review!

I seem to be a little obsessed with Amish Fiction lately. I can't help it. When you find a great writer that draws you in with their depiction, there is just nothing better. Suzanne Woods Fisher writes her characters in such a fun way. They aren't what I would typically think of when imaging an Amish family. The Lapps tend to be a little more modern and Julia Lapp is brazen, headstrong and even a little bit vain. She is a beautiful young girl and she knows and enjoys it! But when her fiance of a couple years now, once again has cold feet before the wedding, she blames the traveling beekeeper for putting the idea in his head to postpone the wedding. Julia's father is ill and the farm needs work so she plans on making Roman Troyer, aka Rome the Bee Man, work his hiney off as sort of a form … [Read More...]

Champions for Kids Simple Service Projects: #AbbottCFK Nutrition Pack A Snack #cbias

Do you remember last month when I participated in the Champions for Kids: SIMPLE Service Project and created a Disney themed stocking for a child in need? Well, I am once again participating in one of the AWESOME Champions for Kids projects! This time I am participating inthe Abbott Champions for Kids campaign. You may be asking yourself what that is? I'll tell you. Abbott is the creator of products such as Similac, Pediasure, Ensure and Zone Perfect Bars to name a few. For the Abbott Champions for Kids campaign I will be making a Snack Pack and donating it to a child who could use some extra nourishment. You'd be surprised at the statistics for your counties. Many, MANY children are in need of a good meal. Just look at these statistics from around the country: • More … [Read More...]
