It’s SUMMER TIME, ya’ll! OK, well it might not technically be summer yet but down here in Florida, it sure as heck feels like it! That means pool, beach and park days galore. No matter where we live or how close to the equator we might be, the sun is one powerful beast and everyone needs to protect their skin from the UV rays. Yes, even the most sun worshiping, baby oil-lathering person needs to stop and protect, cause our skin is the largest organ in our body and we all need to keep it in the best…
The Day I Got Mom-Shamed By A Police Officer
0Seeing that yesterday was Mother’s Day – a happy belated to all you moms out there! – I thought it was only appropriate to share my recent mom-shaming incident with everyone……. It was like any other sunny day running errands with the girls…except I didn’t see that motorcycle cop hiding in the bushes. I usually have ridiculous cop-radar and could spot them miles away, but today was different. I don’t know if it was the 3 year old nagging me to get her ice cream or the fact the 8 month old was crying her brains out because she…

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder – Drugstore Alternative to MAC!
0While on a trip a couple months ago, I forgot to pack quite a few things. Typical. Your head gets effed when you have to pack 1 toddler, an infant, big kid husband and yourself. So a few essentials were left back in sunny Florida, including my MAC Studio Fix foundation powder. I know, I know – you are wondering how I was even able to walk out the door without my face on. It wasn’t pretty, believe you me. I just didn’t have the opportunity to get to a MAC counter in the time I had, so I…
Hasta La Vista, Pacifier…..Or Not
0My girl Ava has been completely obsessed with her Mimi aka pacifier, since we got home from the hospital 2 years ago. We always knew the day would come where we’d have to take it away from her so we don’t have to spend thousands in orthodontia work when shes a teen. Oh and all those other issues that arise with the binkies, too. But it was breaking our hearts to take it away, even though we knew it was for her own good. She literally loves this froggy to pieces and sobs when ever its not with her and…

What To Do When Your Toddler De-Clothes…
0Seriously, I am asking. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO?! For about a month now, we have been having issues with getting and staying dressed. Mornings usually consist of me exerting all my daily energy into just getting her dressed. Then followed by the ripping off of said clothes I spent a good 10 minutes trying to put on. Oh, and how could I forget the 20 minute long tantrum that follows. Now, it’s not every day, but its about 5 of the 7 days of the week. This is stuff that drives mom’s to drink bottles of wine to…
5 People To Avoid While Pregnant
0Now that I am expecting my second daughter this August, I seemed to have conveniently forgot about the little annoyances of being pregnant. Aside from your usual’s, ie: morning sickness, prenatal horse pills, snoring and frequent peeing, I seemed to have blocked out all the crazy encounters that occur while preggo. Yes, I am talking about the complete strangers (and sometimes not) that go out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable, awkward and want to run for the hills. You might think this is my negative “I hate people” attitude, because most of the times, these people don’t…
Wet n’ Wild Spoiled Nail Polish
1I am on the case for finding the best cheap nail polish. I recently found Sinful Colors and absolutely LOVED it for the price and the quality. So when ever I see a polish for $1.99, I splurge and have to try. At a recent trip to CVS, I came across Wet n’ Wild’s Spoiled Nail Polish and thought I’d give it a whirl. I picked a fun hot pinkish color that I thought would be prefect for summer – Plastic Flamingo. With a name like that how can you not buy it, right? And there’s nothing like a funky pink…
Non-Maternity Fashion Find: The Comfiest PJ Pants EVER!
0I am all about the non-maternity clothes while pregnant. I know that might sound like I’m in denial or something but I like to spend money consciously, especially when it comes to clothes. I like to get the most out of what I buy, and maternity clothing – while extremely comfortable – I only tend to wear approximately 4-5 months out of months out of my pregnancy and that’s it. And they are SOO expensive. Thumbs down! Well, around Christmas time, I found some of the most amazingly comfortable PJ pants at Forever 21. Best part about them, only $12.80….
