Upcoming Review to CSN Stores!

I just wanted to post a little teaser for an upcoming review I'll be doing for CSN Stores! CSN Stores is a great site to shop for whatever you are looking for, they have over 200 online stores where you can find everything from cookware to cribs to specific needs such as dining room sets and dog beds! Something for everyone! If you have never been to their site, you will definitely want to go check it out! They have pretty much anything and everything that you could every need or want or if you just need to satisfy that urge to do a little online window shopping! 

If you know me at all, you know that I love to shop! LOVE IT! But, since having my son, I have taken a bit of a shopping hiatus and I spend more of my days at home playing, feeding, going on walks with my son, waiting for nap time to come and go and well, shopping at a typical mall has really gone to the wayside. That is where the internet comes in! I really appreciate the convenience of shopping online now! Even though there is usually a shipping charge, I tend to weigh that charge against the time, gas and energy it would take me to pack my son and all of his diaper bag "necessities" up, get him in the car, drive to wherever we're going, do my shopping and then head home. I'm tired just typing that! Haha! So, I have really come to value the convenience with which I can click through a site during my sons nap time or after he is asleep for the night, do my shopping and have it delivered to my door. Besides, I love mail just about as much as I love to shop. 

So, what will I be reviewing??? Oooh! Good question! Well, I do have to keep you guessing so you'll want to check back, now don't I? Will it be something for my son...I sure do love to shop for him! I usually tell my hubby, "He needs it!" Or will it be something decorative or home improvement-y for our home, which we are in the process of fixing up? Feel free to chime in with any thoughts in a comment below or if you have any suggestions of things you have purchased from CSN and love!

Maybe this play mat for my son?

 Oooh! I'm drooling over this from the dining sets collection! It would be perfect in our kitchens breakfast nook area!











So, go check them out and make sure you check back here to see when I post my review for CSN!

7 Months of Getting to Know My Little Man! What a Blessing!

It really seems like it was only last month that my son was born! I honestly cannot believe how quickly time has flown by since the moment my son came into this world. I have done my best to savor the moments, even the not so fun ones. I love looking back through the pictures I have of him from the first pictures at the hospital all the way through seven months...he's getting so big! Sometimes I forget that he's not 3 months anymore and while hunting through his closet I have been known to grab a 3 month pair of shorts and think to myself, "These are so big! He'll fit into these!" Then, as I try to wrestle them on onto my sons long and lean body, I have to tell myself that, no, he really isn't 3 months anymore and no matter how big those shorts look, they're not going on him!

At 7 months, my son is learning so much every day. I feel like he really is trying to take the whole world in when he observes things. He has the greatest smile and snortle-laugh and no one can make him laugh like his daddy! He already has an opinion about almost everything and he lets me know what he likes and doesn't like! He loves to sit (with some support) and play "ball" as he launches his toy ball away from himself and then as I put it back in his lap, he loves to pick it up and try to shove it in his mouth. No amount of reasoning can convince him that this toy ball will NOT fit in his mouth. Everything goes in my sons mouth! Haha! He is teething and drooling and every toy within his eyesight belongs in how mouth. I love that he loves being read to! He will reach for his stack of books and I know that he's ready to sit in my lap and listen to story time. That time is precious to me. Sitting might be interesting to my son, but crawling, now that's another story! My little man is not a fan of tummy time, actually, he never has been. I think being on his stomach frustrates him. But, right now, he goes from sitting on my lap to launching himself over my leg to a tummy-time-like position. He is happy there or if I hold his body up over the blanket in said tummy-time-like position. But, if I put him down on his own tummy, cries of protest are not far off! I'm not sure if he's lazy unmotivated or just gets frustrated by the fact that he is not mobile yet. Either way, I'm secretly glad that he's not crawling all over the house yet. Rolling around, he's got that one down, but crawling is not on the menu for him today. All of these things and more make me love and cherish each day that I get to spend with my son. I am so thankful that my husband works so hard so that I can stay home to play, interact and love on my little man. I know I am a lucky mama! 

How my son has grown! From the day he was born, he was full of surprises! He was 2 weeks early and I went into labor out of town! My husband and I were just finishing a photo shoot of my 9 month photos with my best friend who is also a photographer. We were headed down from the mountain and a "pick your own apple/pumpkin farm" when all of a sudden, my water broke! Luckily my husbands family all lived nearby, so we were able to call for directions to the nearest hospital! 

 Guess I was in labor and didn't know it!

12 hours later, Michael was born on November 12, 2009!  

Back home for good after having to go back to the hospital when he was 4 days old for severe jaundice. :(

Snuggling with grandpa at only 13 days old!

One Month old

Two Months old (little blurry, but there's that smile!)

Thee Months old

Four Months old (and his first day in a cloth diaper! A BG 3.0)

Five Months (wearing a onesie that says: Does this diaper make my butt look big")

Six Months old (and the first time going to the pool!)

Seven Months old (and playing with his ball!)

My husband and I are so wonderfully blessed and we are so amazed by Michael! We love our little man so much and have cherished all the smiles, cuddles, feeding times, play times, bath time is one of the most fun parts of the day, along with the nightly reading of "I Love You Stinky Face" and yes, I even have a fond place in my heart for the tears and sleepless nights... 

I can not believe that Michael has been on the "outside" for 7 months already! We are over half way to a year with him! I can not wait for all the fun and the learning experiences that await us tomorrow!

-CLOSED- Inspired By Finn Giveaway & Discount Code!

Recently, I have been on the hunt for something to ease my sons teething pain. My poor little man has been teething for the last three months and this last month has really been the worst as his first tooth is starting to come in. I have bought multiple teethers at the store, tried natural teething drops, but nothing seems to ease the pain for him. I have come across a couple of posts where people have mentioned amber necklaces to aid in teething pain and the site, Inspired By Finn was frequently mentioned. So, I decided to look into it. I would do anything to ease my sons discomfort and something natural sounded a whole lot better than giving him baby medicine!

So, I checked out the Inspired By Finn website and there is a wealth of information there! Not only about Baltic Amber, but also about Hazelwood necklaces too. It turns out that Baltic Amber is actually a “a natural analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory. When amber is worn on the skin, the warmth of the skin releases trace amounts of healing oils on the skin. Commonly known as "teething jewelry," baltic amber has been a natural and traditional European remedy for teething discomfort for hundreds of years.” It also turns out that the color of the amber that you choose is also important! The lighter the color, the better is at relieving pain. It is the Succinic acid in the Baltic Amber that is the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory component. So, if you want to make sure you are getting the necklace that is the most effective for teething, then you would want to choose a lighter color that contains more succinic acid than other colors. The lightest colors contain up to three times more than the darkest color!

These are the youth necklaces that Inspired By Finn carries that contain the highest amounts of succinic acid:

Custard Chip

Turmeric & Cream Chip

Light Oval

Light Bean

Pumpkin Butter Oval

Mustard Bean

Butter Round

Milk & Butter Round

Pumpkin Butter Round

Butter Pendant

Light Mix

Inspired By Finn also carries Hazelwood necklaces and here is a little info about hazelwood: Hazelwood has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity. It is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people. It relieves or prevents ailments such as acid reflux, nausea, ulcers, and heartburn. It may be helpful with skin problems (psoriasis, eczema, acne), arthritis, constipation, migraines, bleeding gums, and more. In order to receive a therapeutic benefit the necklace should be worn as much as possible and it can even be worn in the bath or shower.

A side not on the nausea- I wish I had known about this when I was pregnant! …Maybe for baby #2 in the very distant future! Although, I still break out, I may have to consider adding one of these necklaces to my “beauty routine!”

So, all that being said, I just purchased the Pumpkin Butter in Oval for my son!*UPDATE* The necklace came in the mail yesterday and it is even cuter that I could have imagined! I put in on my son and he has been wearing it now for a day and a half. Although I don't think his teething pain has gone away, (and he certainly isn't drooling any less!) I do feel like he is a little bit happier and we don't have those moments in the day of frustrated pain as he grasps for anything to chew on. So far, I think it does seem to be helping a little, even if it is just to take the edge off. And then today (6/29), after wearing the necklace all morning, my son took a 2 hour nap!!! I mean, it might not have been the amber necklace that helped with this nap, but then again, he hasn't napped for 2 hours straight in a looong time. I'm just sayin'... So, here are some pictures of the necklace when I first got it and my son wearing it. (I am so happy that it turned out to be the perfect length for him!)

 The box the necklace came in and the card that came with it stating when and where it was made. Such a pretty color too!

I put a penny next to the necklace for size comparison of the beads.

I love how my son is looking at me like he's never seen a camera before!

Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Review

 I am a member of BzzAgent and a little while back I was sent an Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless kit to try out and review. It included:

• Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer
• Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Corrector
• Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation
• Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush

Covergirl teamed up with Olay to add their Regenerist serum to the Covergirl makeup, creating the Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless makeup line. This was created to be an anti-aging makeup that would help restore evenness to your skin's texture and tone. The makeup is created to "suspend over" fine lines for a look that is both younger and smoother.

The Eye Concealer is designed to hide those pesky under eye dark circles and brighten the eye area. The Corrector is also used to aid in getting rid of some severe dark circles (although I also used it to conceal blemishes). The Foundation is what is smoothed over to give you that even and youthful look as it is suspended over any wrinkles that you may have. Then the Sculpting Blush is supposed to accentuate you cheeks and give you that naturally glowing look.

Sounds like magic, huh?  So, I put it to the test and now that you've read about what they say it does, here's what I have to say about what it did for my skin. Well, first off, I thought, hey, I'm a twenty-mumble, mumble, mumble year old! I don't need makeup that makes me look younger! But, then I was reminded of some of the not so kind things people have commented at me since having my son. Things like, "Wow, you look really tired!" Uh, yeah, I think I got a total of four hours of sleep last night. Or, "Those are some big bags under your eyes!" Well, yes, actually, my son uses them as mini punching bags. Sometimes I wonder if people think before they speak. One of my favorites was at a family gathering around New Years. I had had my son near Thanksgiving and all of our family visited us for the holidays to see our new little munchkin. So, at the New Years get together, I had someone tell me how much better I was looking, because, "Wow, at Thanksgiving you looked like you were trying really hard to stay awake and your face looked so tired." I love my family. What can I say...

So, I rethought the need for makeup that would help me look younger. First I tacked those under-eye circles. I have to say the Eye Concealer is my favorite! After putting it on, I felt like my under eye area looked smoother (those eye smile lines seemed to melt away) and it did seem a little brighter. When I have had a particularly sleepless night and I even scare myself in the morning, I add a little Corrector. The Corrector is nice to have for concealing my many blemishes. Shouldn't I be over breaking out by now? But I wouldn't say that it was amazing or the most spectacular concealer that I've ever used. It's good, but not great. The Foundation went on much more lightly that I thought it would. I have pretty oily skin... ok, very oily skin. I thought for sure that the Olay Simply Ageless part would just make my face look oilier. I was suprised though, it seemed to glide on easily, it blended well (I hate having those lines around my chin) and it did seem to make my face look smooth and natural- almost like I was bearly wearing makeup at all. I also like that it has SPF 22 in the Foundation, because I know I should put on sunscreen every day, but honestly, I rarely do. Living in Southern California though, I need it! The Foundation lasts pretty well on my skin throughout the day, it's not a foundation that's still goin' strong at the end of the day, but I still look like I have some makeup still on. One thing that is nice is that I feel like I can just put the foundation on and head out the door if I'm in a really big hurry and I don't have to worry about spilling it, since it's not liquid. Ok, so now onto the Sculpting Blush. When I first saw the color, Royal Plum, I thought that it was too dark for my skin tone and I was going to look like a clown! Well, it took a little practice, but I was amazed at how well it seemlessly blended! It wasn't dark at all either, it actually does have a very natural glow to it. I don't always put it on perfectly, I've never really been into blush, but I'm learning and I do like it a lot better than I thought I would.

So, I hope my little....errr.. I mean long review gave you a good idea of what this makeup can actually do for you. I really like it and I was impressed by how it actually looked natural on me and made my under-eye area look much better. In fact, I haven't had any "helpful comments" by anyone since I've started using this makeup! Oh yeah! My favorite thing though is that I feel good about myself when I am wearing makeup and I think it helps me feel a little more confident and "put together" and like, "I am a mom wearing makeup, I can tackle anything! ...Wait! ...No! Don't throw up on my new shirt! Oh well, at least I'm wearing makeup, right?

So, did I like this the line of Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless makeup that was sent to me?

YES!

Would I buy this makeup in the future when I am all out?

Definitely the Eye Concealer and probably the Foundation (maybe even the blush if I get a little bit better at applying it).

I was given some coupons along with the makeup that I was sent. They are for $2 off one Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless product. They expire on 6/30/2010, If you would like me to mail you one, simply put your email address in a comment below and I will email you for your address and mail it to you. So, I guess it's kinda a giveaway, a coupon giveaway!

A Fabulous Review on Fabulous Family Reviews and Giveaways Blog!

So, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE leg warmers for my son. He is so long and skinny that most of his pants become high-waters before he can fit them width wise.

Well, since I posted that, EcoMom now has a special going on on their website! Now, for a LIMITED time, you will get a $50 gift card with the purchase of the $99 annual membership!

Preowned Diapers: A Great Way to Build Your Stash!

I just thought that I would pass on something that has helped me to build my stash at a more reasonable rate: pre-owned diapers! Now you might think, "Ewww! Cloth diapers someone else has used?!?" But, actually, they are usually used for about 3 weeks or less and rarely have much if any wear and tear or staining to them. They have been cleaned by the company any are ready for your little one to be the next to show them some love. I was a little skeptical before I ordered my firs pre-loved diaper, but when I got it, I looked and looked again... it looked like it had never been worn! Now they may not all look so new, but it's usually pretty hard to tell that they've been worn. So far, my favorite site to order pre-owned diapers from is Diaper Junction. They have a sectioned of pre-owned diapers along the left column. One of the things that I love about this site is that you can sign up for email notification when they get pre-owned diapers back in stock! I think that that is just awesome and so helpful! As of this afternoon, they had some pre-owned diapers back in stock and I just ordered some in that were listed in excellent condition. They go quickly, so you can't hem and haw about it for too long. So, if you're looking for some diapers that are new to you at a bit of a discount (because every little bit helps), head on over to Diaper Junctions pre-owned diaper section and check the selection out or sign up for email notification when they are back in stock! Happy Shopping!
