Current Giveaways
Ocean Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks (review/giveaway)
My kids love gummy snacks. If we pass them in the store they always ask for some, and most of the time they pick one that has their favorite character on it and it is just pure sugar, no vitamins, fruit juice or very little fruit juice. So when I got the opportunity to review [...]

The Monkeys
No Surgery and We Have A Plan
We had Justin’s follow up ENT appointment Wednesday and NO SURGERY is needed!!! He’s slowly outgrowing this, he don’t make the noise as often it’s just louder, and I can deal with that. As his ENT said “He’ll never win a game of hide and seek” He don’t think the apnea monitor is needed but left that [...]

I’m Thankful

He’s Not Being Challenged Enough
Jeffery has always been quick to pick up on things, you show him something one time and he knows it forever. This is proving to be a difficult thing for him in 1st grade. His teacher has told me that he plays with his pencil at his desk and won’t concentrate.I know that teachers go [...]
My Head Is Spinning

Saying Goodbye
