Kids Say the Strangest Things

My daughter Gabrielle is nine and she likes to think she's pretty smart. Today we were both talking about how we caught her brother's cold.  I finally said that everyone in the house had it except for my husband Timmie, her stepfather.  She replied, "Wow, Timmie has a great colon."  I think she meant immune system. I laughed so hard I almost went into labor.   LOL  Gotta love kids.

Baby Bonanza! Beibi Shoes Review & Giveaway

Beibi Shoes are a great little product I discovered online  that sells adorable, high quality baby shoes. I was recently given the opportunity to review a pair of Beibi shoes and I was very impressed with them. 

I received a pair of the Taylor shoes in light pink in size 0-6 months.

The first thing I noticed was that the box the shoes came in has a note to recycle it. Any company that is eco friendly is top on my list, so this was a great way to start off the review. I was even more impressed when I removed the shoes from the box. These shoes are extremely well made. The rubber soles are thick and sturdy and you can tell that they will probably last longer than your baby will fit in them. The soles even come up to the tip of the toes to prevent wear and tear and scuffing. I also love that the buckles are REAL buckles--not the Velcro that is all I seem to be able to find anywhere else. These shoes may be a little more expensive than what you'll find on a store shelf but they're going to be worth it because they will outlast the cheaper brands. But the real test is whether or not the shoes will stay on the babies feet. I have two older children and I lost more than one pair of shoes while at the park or grocery store because little feet have a tendency to kick them off. My own little one won't be here for a few more months, but a friend of mine stopped by with her three month old today and we tried the shoes on her and took her out for a walk. She kicked her little feet quite a bit, but the shoes stayed firmly in place.

The only downside I could find to the Beibi shoe line is that they don't have a very big selection of boys shoes. I know I'm having a girl, so I have lots of choices. But for those of you with little boys, there are only four pairs currently available. I'd love to see them extend their boys line because I know my husband is hoping to have a little boy next and I want to be able to come back to Beibi shoes for him as well.

The Beibi line of shoes are available online at http://wesqueak.net/  I encourage everyone to check out this website. These shoes will make great stocking stuffers for babies or wonderful gifts for a baby shower.

Now on the exciting part! The wonderful folks over at We Squeak have offered to give a pair of shoes from the Beibi line to one of my readers!  For your initial entry you must leave a comment letting me know that follow my blog AND check out  http://wesqueak.net/ and tell me which pair of shoes you would choose if you were the lucky winner.

Sports Authority Wii Event with Jillian Michaels Giveaway at Moody Mamas

My kids will be getting a Wii for Christmas this year. But just because its for them doesn't mean I shouldn't take advantage of it too. Once my baby is born and I'm able to exercise again, I think the Wii will be a great tool to help me loose the baby bulge. Especially the Sports Authority With Jillian Michaels.  You can win this game for yourself over at Moody Mamas.  Here is the direct link the giveaway:

Six Months Down-Two (Or Less) to Go

I'm currenly 28 weeks pregnant. Even though the baby is due on 2/14, with my history of preterm labor my doctor is just hoping to make it to 36 weeks.  Since the baby is a girl, there is less chance of it having breathing problems. My son was in the NICU for two weeks when he was born. It was the scariest time of my life and I'm really hoping it won't happen this time around.

She's defintely gettting bigger. But I've only gained about 15 pounds, and I don't think it will take me long to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, especially since I plan on breast feeding.  And luckily, no stretch marks.  At least not yet.  Anyway, hopefully we'll make it until at least mid-January before Willow's arrival.

My Sweepstakes Wins for 11/23/2009

Today I received these two prizes in the mail:

1) An inflatable ping pong table (this is getting donated to my local rec center)

2) A set of two digital day counters

The Catered Dinner I Won from Real Simple Magazine

This past summer I won a great sweepstakes sponsered by Real Simple Magazine and Buitoni.  The prize consisted of a chef coming to your home for a catered dinner for ten people, the decorations for the party, and a $250 gift card for drinks.  I had a year to choose the dates, and decided on November when my husband would be working a little less and would be able to come.  It finally took place this past Tuesday night. The dinner was an amazing experience and I wanted to share it.  First off, here are some photos of the decorations, most of which were bought by two nice girls from Real Simple Magazine who came to the house and then picked things they thought would go along with the decor that was already there. They also provided small party favor boxes with chocolates.

Chef Cheryl from The Dinner Angel was hired to be our personal chef for the evening. She came around 3:30 to start preparations along with her neice who did the serving. I'll tell you, its a unique experience to get waited on inside your own home (well, my mom's home, but same difference).  Here is Chef Cheryl hard at work in the kitchen:

The menu was amazing and consisted of the following:

Antipasto: Wild Mushroom Bruschetta
Primo: Angel Hair Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce
Secondo: Pesto-Marinated Roast Lamb with Sauteed Baby Spinach and Baby Carrots
Dolce: Napoleon Cannoli Stacks

Yes, it did all taste just as wonderful as it looked, and several of my guests asked Chef Cheryl for her card to use her catering services again.  Everyone had a great time. A big thank you to Real Simple Magazine and Buitoni for making this evening possible!

My Sweepstakes Wins for 11/19/2009

Some people think I'm wasting my time by entering online contests/sweepstakes. But I only spend a few hours a day (a little more now that I'm home on bed rest with nothing better to do) and I think I have a lot to show for it. Some of my  biggest wins include a $5000 win screen tv and a trip to Disney Land.  The photo above is just the things I got today.  They include:

1) A pair of Karen Neuberger pajamas

2) A Thomas the Train Holiday DVD

3) 5 different flavors of of soft lips lip balm

4) An autographed photo and prop from Saw IV.

Not bad for one day. I thought that I'd start posting my daily winnings to encourage other sweepers out there.   Remembers its the law of averages. If you enter enough, you're bound to win.

Halloween 2008-Remembering Last Year's Winning Costumes at the Office

Last year, my two coworkers and I dressed up as Playboy Bunnies.  We even roped the computer guy into being Hugh Heffner. We had alot of fun an even won first prize at the office. There are only about 50 people there, so I guess its not that big a deal. But hey, we got a free lunch out of it.  And look how skinny I was!  I wonder if I'll ever be able to a a bunny again. This year I didn't get dressed up. It was two complicated to think of a good theme with a big belly in the way.

That's me on the left!  Aren't we sexy!

Halloween 2009

This was the first year that both my kids wanted to go scary instead of cute. It makes me glad that I'm having another baby I can dress up next year. 

My son was easy at least. Just throw on the custome and mask and go.  My daughter was a little more complicated because she needed make up done. I did her make up for school on Friday.

I know its awful.  And to make matters worse, my ex did the make up for her last night.

He did so much better! Oh well, I guess I can't win them all. At least she was happy with it.  Anyway, Halloween was fun, but I'm glad its over. Hopefully we can relax for a weekend or two.
