Sebastian Professional Volume Collection Review

I received the new Sebastian Professional Volume Collection to review.
http://www.sebastianprofessional.com/en_US/?gclid=CPbT1Om80qMCFYp_5QoddCXxtQ

I was sent the Volupt Shampoo, Conditioner, and Spray.
I tried the shampoo and conditioner right away, and I love the smell. I don’t notice a ton of difference in the volume at first, but some is better then none! 🙂
My hair is shiny and sleek, so I love that.
I continued using the shampoo and conditioner, and did see some volume added to my hair. I have fine hair, so it is great to have something that works for hair like mine. In addition, the one time I did try to style it, it was fantastic! The spray worked wonders- it did not dry my hair out at all, [Read more…]

101 Ways To Meditate- a book review

I was sent a copy of “101 Ways To Meditate” by Linda A. Lavid to review.
http://fcpress.us/

As many of you know, this mommy finds it very necessary to take time for “the calm”. Yoga, meditation, tai chi, deep breathing, etc. I find it makes my mind function better, it increases flexibility of the mind and the body, and in general makes me a better me. (A better “me” also makes a better wife, sister, daughter, friend, and most importantly, a better mommy! Remember to take time for “you”, mama’s! I’m going to keep saying this- to you and to me!)

As as
sasI really enjoyed this. I find meditation important to finding balance and calm in my life. Linda Lavid truly did give you step by step, vivid explanations and visual imagery to assist you in your meditative journey. This small book is well written and easy to follow. Author is knowledgeable on the subject, resourceful, and helpful. My one qualm- [Read more…]

Rattle and Roll Giveaway!

In honor of Little Man’s birthday, I wanted to give a gift to you! It seems like many of you have young children at home, so I have selected on of Little’s favorite toys to get for this giveaway.

It is a Bruin Inflatable Rattle and Roll, http://www.boobooly.com/products/PR001.shtml

He loved this. It is for ages 9 months and up. He loved, loved,loved it as a baby. He used to chase it around the house, giggling his little baby laugh. It is an inflatable tube, that has toys and rattles inside it. There is a cute little window, letting him see what makes all the noise inside. When it rolls or moves, it makes noise (rattles), making the baby curious. It encourages baby to move to and with the roller, which in turn encourages the baby to crawl. [Read more…]

My kids LOST THEIR MINDS!!!!
It was after 5pm when the UPS man came by, and they started begging me to open it. I knew what it was, so no way was I opening it until after they ate! Otherwise, dinner would never happen. After dinner, they kept going to the box (they knew what was in it, too, haha) until I finally opened it. Kamikaze grabbed the box and started jumping up and down and screaming.

So, Dad began to set it up while I got them into their bathing [Read more…]
