Kids: Cool Educational Products For Kids!

Parents here are some old school learning toys that are revamped for better learning:

1. Buytra Math Toy Learning Bead and Wood Abacus: By Buytra 

For kids 3 years and up

2. Bytra Wooden Number Cards and Counting Rods With Box Educational Toys: By Buytra

For kids 3 years and up

3. BeginAgain Color 'N' Egg Matching Puzzle: By BeginAgain

For kids 24 months to 5 years

4. Dazzling Toys Learn To Tie Your Shoe Wooden Board

For kids 3 years and up

5. Build and Play Toy Truck: By Fun Time Supplies

Each of these learning toys that's listed are designed to help your child learn math, colors, time, and to develop those handy motor skills that they will need as they grow. Introducing education to your child at an early age will help them to excel as they prepare for school. Parents that start early with their kids will more than likely see their kids learn quicker and be more enthusiastic towards learning in general.  Please invest in some educational toys like these or similar to give your child an early start. They will not only have fun but also learn something in the process.

Plus, we think they are just "stunningly adorkable."

NEW BIZ SPOTLIGHT: Paw 2 Paw Dog Walking!

Hi All!

I just want to tell you guys about a fantastic new business that was started by one of my dear friends.

It's a great dog walking boutique service located in "Hampton Roads" VA.  She started this business out of the necessity of just her love for dogs.  She's been a pet owner herself and has always loved being around dogs.

The business is new and it's nothing like it in the area.  It's a boutique dog walking service for folks who DON'T HAVE TIME TO WALK THEIR DOGS AT ALL.  The prices are medium to high (depending on how many days you actually pay for).  How it goes is: "you" the potential client visit her website and submit a request through the site about needing services.  After that's submitted she will call you to do a consult and put you and your furry friend on the schedule.  Payment is through the site also.  It makes it easy peasy and that's it.

So check out "PAW 2 PAW DOG WALKING" @ www.paw2pawdogwalking.com to schedule a consult today.  Her calendar is filling up so contact her soon!

BACK TO SCHOOL AND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES!

Parents! Parents! Parents! Parents! Parents!

It's the end of July and guess what time it is again?

It's Back To School! 

Yes that's rights "MOMS" it's that time again for school clothes, school supplies and everything else your youngins will need to start the school year off with a bang.

If your child is attending a school that requires uniforms then you're the lucky moms, due to most stores will have the uniforms on sale right now! Stores like Walmart, Target, and the online e-commerce sites will be giving you very good deals. Don't forget to include school supplies while you're at it.

Contrary to what parents believe about buying school supplies right now, now is the time instead of waiting until the last minute. Right now your big box stores will always have school supplies, but also try places like your local grocery chains such as, Kroger, Farm Fresh and others will have school supplies as cheap as any other store.

For the moms who's kids don't wear uniforms, well hey, places like walmart, maybe target, tj max, roses, marshalls, and other discount chains is the place to shop, especially if you have multiple kids.  As a mom I know and you know if you're trying to save a buck, you have to shop around. Our advice to start off  the school year is to get a good 4-5 outfits. Then change those outfits up. As your kids get into the groove of things they can incorporate last years outfits (if they haven't outgrown them) into the brand new stuff. No need to toss those oldies to the side when you can do mixing and matching. That way you can save some dough.

As parents we know that times are tough and things with providing for your families get tougher and tougher.  That's why it's extremely important to start the process right now in the middle of summer to make sure your kids get all that they need to start the school year off right.  There's great organizations in your local communities who are taking donations for school supplies from big box retailers to GIVE AWAY! Make sure you start looking for those organizations RIGHT NOW to sign up or do what's required to get you name on the list. School supplies that are given out to families freely go pretty quickly so be sure to contact your city hall, or search the web to see whose doing "BIG SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVES" and contact them. If you get in on it early enough, you can get all of the items that your kids need to start the school year off right.

Lastly, I just want to tell parents to be safe and take the time to enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer with your kids.  Yeah; I know you may have to work and your kids are in some camp to keep them busy. However, the best time is spent with "you" the mom and family. Putting in that "TIME" with your kids will be the most memorable for years to come. Trust me I know.

Until next post, be safe and enjoy the rest of your summer:-)

Oh totally forgot. For my thrift store MOMS! Check those thrift stores right now.  Sometimes they have the best pieces. If your kids are crafty kids and like to create his or her style let them take the wheel and create their own style. I promise you MOMS, this is what the kids are doing anyway:-)

Mornings By Mom!

Mornings are my absolute favorite as many already know about me.  When my eyes open and I can mentally feel myself move I am up and ready to go.

Sadly many of you don't like mornings and that's not good.  You should be beaming that you're blessed to get up and see a new day.  It's the start of everything new, no continuation of the previous. So get up, get some positive feeling in your body and have a beautiful morning like you've never had!

As my mornings persist the coffee snob in me can't wait to get up and drink that must-have piping hot cup of coffee.  Coffee is like my "man" that I can't wait to see (sort of). It's my go-to drink, it's my oxygen (sort of but not really), totally exaggerating! 

This coffee just has me so worked up right now!

My mornings usually start at 4 am. That's right Cinderellas 4 am.  I've been doing this since my high school days. It started with getting up at 6 am per my granny. Then it moved on to my military days where 4 am was the call time for physical training.  So I'm use to waking up early and getting my day started.

This morning I got in my yoga with my girl Brett Larkin. She is amazing! I have truly turned into a yoga mom for sure. It's unbelievable how much my body has stretched and become so lean. So proud of myself (pat on my back). Her yoga routines work me from my brain stem to my toes Lol. I promise moms it's nothing like her yoga workouts! Get your yoga on!

After yoga, the first thing that caught my eye as I scrolled through my social media with sweat running down my face was that Hillary ripped Trump a new one.  All I could I do was shake my head. It's always something with these candidates. One day it's Trump being ridiculous and then it's Hillary being told to smile (which many took offense to). Politics is a back and forth ponzie scheme that's made for a very special kind of individual.  Hillary is a strong woman who has taken many hits when her husband was in office and more so now because she's running for office.  Talk about the rooster pen. Lol

Since it's Sunday and I am not technically working (accept writing on my amazing blog), I decided to read through one my favorite magazines, "Parents" and my new one, "Runner's World."

Parents magazine have the best articles and advice for moms.  Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned mom with more than one kid, "Parents" magazine has something for all of us!  

The latest which is the June issue has the talented "Stephen Curry" and his two adorable kids on the cover. His oldest little girl is so cute. She looks just like him! Don't get me started on the little baby. WOW...how beautiful!

 As you read on there's a well written article about his family. His beautiful wife Ayesha Curry is just great! She's pictured in a denim jumpsuit looking fabulous with her two beautiful girls. Ayesha talks about her hot hot rising cooking career and both parents talk about balancing it all.

Great interview by "Parents" magazine. 

Lovely family.

As you turn the pages and get to the back, they have great recipes as well as home solutions you can do to change things up in your space and make it fabulous. 

Oh and one more thing before I move on to the other thing I did this morning. Make sure you look at the advertisement page. Yes they are advertisements but the products with the white star beside them are items that you can actually win! Yes win and we moms love to win things!!

Part 2: 

I just recently got a subscription to "Runner's World" magazine.  I love running and do it about three times a week. This magazine offers great tips and well written articles on what else, running.  

What really caught my eye is there summer (sneaker) shoe guide.  They had individuals to actually test certain brands to see how well they fared.  

Here are the sneakers that tested well:

Editors choice: Sketchers GOrun 4 - 2016

Best Debut: New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo

Best Buy: Mizuno Wave  Hitogami 3

Best Update: Adidas Adizero Adios 3

Figure out which shoes will work best for you and your run and go from there. Everyone's foot is different. We all walk and run different. Getting fitted for the proper running shoe will only enhance how you run, definitely how you walk and more importantly your balance. If I know one thing a great shoe will help you keep great balance as go throughout your day. 

I know for me I need more than just a running shoe. I require a shoe for running and also to wear throughout the day. Sometimes I don't have time to change my shoes. Being comfortable is important! 

The other thing that caught my eye is the fact that they have recipes that looks so yummy! I can't wait to put them to the test.

CocoaVia Challenge:

Last thing is, this ad for the brand "CocoaVia." CocoaVia has a 3 week challenge. If you don't see results in 3 weeks then they will refund you money (100% money back guarantee).

Thanks for reading and enjoy your beautiful Sunday:-)

My Favorite Brand: e.l.f.

E.L.F (eyes, lips, face) is a brand that has been my favorite for a long time.  This brand is not only greatly priced but the makeup is great for ALL skin tones.  Every shade of the rainbow can wear this brand.

Most of us moms who don't have a lot of time can't spend hours in the mirror putting on primer, then concealer, then foundation, then eye shadow, then do brows then blah blah blah... I seriously don't have time for all of that with my morning routine. 

My mornings are busy!!  I do my yoga, calisthenics, stretching, fix breakfast and then it's on to everything and everyone else! Mornings are happily busy in my household.  Because of that, I need a short beauty routine that will enable me to look great, refreshed and presentable.

E.L.F. enables me to look my best each morning.  

One of my favorite products is the, (all over stick), which comes in 3 shades.  My shade is the "persimmon" and "pink lemonade."  I can wear two because of my skin tone.  I love this because you can put this all over your face lightly and walk out the door, or you can put it on almost as a concealer and then add your foundation or bronzer for a well put together look.  

This all over stick gives you a hint of shimmer or a lot of shimmer.  You can wear it alone or wear with your light foundation or bronzer (w/o the shimmer). If you wear bronzer with shimmer don't wear both. It looks crazy bad. Lol  

It's definitely one of my favorites.

My other product favorite is the "lip balm tint."  I loath this stuff! My color or colors is: "rosy rocker (shimmer)" and the "pink princess (shimmer).  It gives your lips a light flush of color for that luscious natural look.

 

There you have it moms, my favorite e.l.f. (eyes lips face) products to help you enhance your beauty and still look natural.  I would advise you to get a few for yourself and try.

If you want more information on these products you can visit their site @ 

www.elfcosmetics.com to find what products work best for you. Plus the price is reasonable.  

Love that about this brand:-)

Morning's By Mom!

Yesterday it was very sunny and nice outside.  Today it's raining and muddy outside.

Do you moms ever feel melancholy when it's raining?  It's when you know your day isn't going to be bad but because of the gloom outside your day could be bad.  I don't know maybe it's just me being over the top as usual but when the rain comes I sometimes feel that way.

To help me focus and get my mind together for the gloom I have my morning coffee (at least 5 cups). Yes a bit to much but hey, I'm human.  Then I break out my youtube and start my yoga with one of my favorite yoga gurus and she she is...Brett Larkin!

I've always incorporated yoga in my workout routine in some way. My workout routine has evolved over the years from hardcore to subtle and now to meditation of my mind to body strengthening yoga.
Brett Larkin is one of those yoga gurus that knows her stuff.  I spend at least 3 times a week incorporating her yoga videos into the rest of workout routine.  Her videos are packed with so much power that she will have you sweating and sore for 3 days (hahaha)! Being truthful!

Honestly though, incorporating a repetitious yoga routine in your week will not only strengthen your body but also your mind.  You see moms, while you're holding those yoga poses for however many seconds, your mind begins to think and wonder and think and wonder (you get my point).
Anyway; it's calming sense of self that brings you back to your center (and causes you to sweat up a storm). It's a mind-body thing. When you feel through your body like you can't, your mind says "you can." The power of the brain! Real talk!

So to all of the moms out of there who will read this and feel that their day might be gloom and doom, start your day with my favorite yoga guru "Brett Larkin."  Give yourself 15 mins to break that morning gloom-dom with this fantastic yoga start.

So from one mom to the next cheers and have a fantastic day!!

SO DARN ADORKABLY FUNNY AND WITTY!

This book is such a great read for kids!

Steve Martin's take on the classic alphabet storytelling goes beyond the normal rhyming and simple sentences.  While a little complicated, he takes it to the next level by adding words that kids wouldn't ordinarily use and by using drawings that are sort of grown-up, but in a way that kids can relate to.

It's on our list as one of the best summer reads for kids!
