Wordless Wednesday: Yum! {w/ Linky}

Baby E was born on April 4th and shares a birthday with her cousin Ryan. E is exactly 11 hours older than him!

Instead of celebrating separately, we're going to be throwing a party together on April 14th! Myself and Ryan's mom decided on a Sesame Street theme since both E and Ryan enjoy the characters. I started to pin some ideas for the party and here are some of my favorites:

Pourty Potty {Review & #Giveaway}

I'm a first time mom but I have potty trained dozens of children in the last 10 years from working in childcare. I know one thing is certain, potty training is not easy. Some of these potty seats don't seem to make it any easier either. I've seen pottys that are bulky and have too many pieces. Other pottys make a mess when you try to pour the pee and/or poop out of the seat.

Magic Bum {Review and #Giveaway}

Dealing with diaper rashes can be a nightmare. Some ointments just don't work on certain babies. If you use cloth diapers, you need to be extra careful on what you use on your child's bottom because most diaper rash creams contain zinc oxide which can get stuck to the diapers and cause them to repel.

Personally, I prefer to use all natural products on Baby E and was excited to get to try Magic Bum, an all natural skin soothing oil that treats and prevents skin irritation.

Walt Disney's Frankenweenie!

Above is the just released poster from Disney's Frankenweenie!

Synopsis:
From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

Wordless Wednesday: Yay! {w/ Linky}

Every time someone says "Yay!" Baby E claps her hands!

Mmm... Wool Dryer Ball

I've been considering getting Baby E's haircut because of how long its getting. I remebered how my mom kept a lock of my hair in an envelope from when she had my first haircut so I went searching for keepsakes and discovered the following:

Sex toys - EdenFantasys adult toys store

As I've wrote in previous posts, E has been showing interest in walking. I've been wanting to get her a pair of shoes or booties not only for her to walk around in, but to keep her feet warm also.

Crazy Leggies has adorable custom made shoes that come in either a fleece or a non-slip sole and are available in sizes 0-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24 and 2T. They offer a ton of fabric choices but if you don't happen to see a fabric you like, just convo Nicole of Crazy Leggies on Etsy and she would be happy to work with you to find one!

Have you considered SAT tutoring for your child?

For those of you who may not be familiar with the SAT test, its a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Most high school students take it in there junior or senior year of high school. I took the SAT in fall of my senior year.

I did great in the writing portion of the SAT test but did horribly in the math section. I've never been good at math and figured I'd probably get a low score even with the SAT preparation class we were given in high school.
