Yesterday was a long tiring day of trying to catch up with all the weeds that have grown everywhere but most especially in every garden area and bed.  We are preparing for Alexandra’s baby shower here on Sunday.  Half of us worked outside in scorching heat.  It reminds me why I don’t even bother growing food in the summer.  By the time I got back in, I was dead tired.

Poppa somehow still had the energy to put together a very nice dinner, I love his energy.  After dinner, the kids invited me to the movies.  Not just any movie but the most wonderful movie theater ever complete with snack bar, fresh popped organic cinnamon sugar popcorn, and go as you are attire.

I walked into the living room to find a ticket man waiting (who asked me not to take his picture ahem) with a movie rope to let me into the theater.  The line at the snack counter was quite long so I waited for the crowd to order and then got a nice big bowl of popcorn and a box of candy (I am not a candy person so I only ate a few pieces).  We sat down and watched a few previews before our featured movie, Annie began.

Once the lights were out and the movie speakers were on, it really did feel like we were at a theater except I got to cuddle with Olivia and at some point one of the kids decided to braid my hair while I watched the movie.  Best movie theater ever, I highly recommend it!

This morning I awoke to find the living room as if nothing happened.  Those movie theater cleaners are pretty good.  Today I have a to do list longer than my arm.  Cakes and cupcakes to make, decorations to create, cleaning to do and there is still more weeding out there.  Gotta go!

Peepods Giveaway

By on August 2, 2013 in giveaways, Uncategorized

It’s been such a long time since I have hosted a giveaway and now that we are all moved in, snug and cozy, it’s time.  Wouldn’t you agree?

I was contacted a few months ago by Peepods on doing a giveaway and review of these momma pads.  I have used my own homemade ones for years so it was exciting to receive real professionally made ones to try.  Well, best intentions you know,  my cycle took 10 months to return after having Matthew.  You can’t really do a review of something you haven’t tried and I wanted to be able to say if I really liked them or not.

First of all, they arrived super fast.  I mean like 5 days after I said yes and packaged in a very cute box.  I chose a cranberry set and the fabrics looked even better than in the picture.  They came with a small PlanetWise wetbag and every detail was perfect.  Then they sat and sat and sat in my medicine cabinet waiting for the day I would need them.  Well, as luck would have it, that time came while I was traveling home to see my parents.  Of course!

I have to say that I was a bit worried because they seem very thin compared to my own homemade version.  I decided to stay put the first time I used them and stayed close to my parents house.  Well, they work extremely well, better than well.  The snap kept everything in its place and after a while I forgot that I was nervous or that I was even wearing anything.  Not. Kidding.

If you have ever wanted to try cloth (and if you are like me and so many others, you may not want to go back to disposables) here is your chance.  Peepods is giving away a set to one lucky winner and a discount to any of you who wants to place an order.  If you need an incentive to support a company who offers a great, environmentally friendly product then here it is, they have a Pod for Pod promise.   For every set of pads they sell, they also donate a set to the women of Ethiopia.  Here is a video explaining more about the company.  Sorry, I haven’t figured out how to display videos yet 🙂
