Laundry Day=Fun For the Kids

I HATE laundry Day! Its normally ever couple of days lately. But i recruit my little guy to help me out every time. And tomake it more fun, i put a couple of his things in his own personal Laundry Pop Up Hampers. These things are ADORABLE! I am always on the hunt for a deal and i went to The Family Dollar the other day to get a closet organizer, and i came across these awsome little Laundry Pop Up Hampers. My son thinks he is the biggest kid around when he goes toting this down the hall to the laundry room.

Not only will these help with space saving, they only cost $3!!!!!! BARGIN!!!!! They had them in the Cat, Duck andPanda Bear! You can find these all over the place, but i'm sure you will pay a lot more for them at a department store or online. They are made of Mesh, so you can't put a lot in them, but they are great for when your washing that light load of whites or onesies or for a dirty clothes bin in the bathroom. And it will keep your Kidos happy and content while your trying to lug the big laundry basket back to the bedroom.

There is always something you can find, to amuse the kidos and help keep them calm while you do your Regular Mom Duties.

Cloth Diapers....Save A "Butt" Load


I adore the cloth diapers because, number one, ITS GREEN!! :) No more filling up the land fills with diapers. Number two, You save so much money! Number three, They are adorable and come in so many different designs! I'm a stay at home mom so these are so convient. We have an accident, we just toss them in the washer, and there ya go. I'm all about being Green, so i switched from disposable to REUSABLE!! :) Save the environment! Weather your a new mom, an expecting mom, or a go green Grammy, there is always room for Cloth Diapers!

Do the environment a favor, switch to cloth diapers. Just think how much earth and life you are preserving for your children when they grow up.

Stay At Home Mom vs. Working Mom

Everyone has a different view on this topic. Stay at Home Mom or Working mom? I, myself am a stay at Home mom and a Working Mom! I work from home which makes my life pretty hecktic, but livable! I make the money i need plus i spend time with my son. My son is my life, and i'll do whatever i have to to make sure hes well taken care of since i'm the only one working to make that happen. My main job is MOM. I consider myself SUPER MOM! Because i not only bring in the money, i clean the house, do the laundry, make dinner every night, take my son to all his appts. give my son his bath and put him to bed every night and have fun doing it all. I may complain about how hard it is, and how i need a break, but you know what, i wouldn't change it for the world. Being a Mom is the best feeling in the world.

Here is a video that i found on IVillage about stay at home mom's and working mom's.

Not exactly what i thought i would hear! Being a Stay at home mom is a full time job. People think we just sit around playing with our kids toys and hanging out at the park all day, and as all of us Stay at home Mom's know, Its far from that! We have to keep the house clean, feed the kidos, take care of the kidos, do the laundry, take our kidos to dr.s appts. and the list goes on and on! Trade just one day of your Full Time Job for One Day of My MOM Job, and tell me its easy and i'll gladly tell you your full of crap! We don't get breaks, we don't get to leave the "Office" and we are lucky if we get to sit down for 5 minutes let alone have a nice comfy desk job.

Its not Easy being a stay at home mom and its not easy being a working mom but we do it, we do it all for our kids! And ladies, the next time someone says, ohh your job is so easy, being a stay at home mom, just reach over and smack the crap out of them and tell them, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!

Amazon Toy Review

So i was doing a search on the top toys for preschool age kids and google gave me Amazon.com and a list of the top like 20 toys! I found these talking fridge magnets. They look pretty awsome. You put the base on your Fridge, and the kidos can put each letter in the base and hear the sound it makes and also sing along with the alphabet song. The peices are chunky so that the little ones can grasp them, which in turn helps develope more fine motor skills. The base interacts with each letter, making the sound of the letter and playing a playful son to help remember the letters. I have to give this a 9 out of 10 on the Mommy List! I'll def. be picking this up for my son. Only $21.99




Fridge Phonics

One of my other favorites that they list in the top toys for Amazon is the Vtech Tote N' Go Laptop! My son just loves this. It has 30 interactive activities and is just like mommy and daddys computer! My son constantly wanted to play with my laptop, and after breaking one, i desided we should get him his own, and when we did,he was so excited. Now he sits content for atleast and hour. You Mommy's know what i mean, atleast enough time for a cup of coffee and a glance at the paper. This nifty little computer comes with the mouse, which can be used on the right or left handed kidos! When it flips shut, it has a handy little carry handle so they can tote it all over the place. Its a very durable toy, my son has steped on his, thrown it on the floor, beat it with other toys and its still kicking! Great deal.....$33.50
