Personal Saturday entry....

Today has been a very peaceful and relaxing day here at the house. Husband let me sleep in, then we all got ready and went grocery shopping. I couldn't ask for a more perfect start to my day. Plus I did a bit of organization to the laundry room. I'm stock piled on laundry detergent from the coupon hauls that I do at Harris Teeter. I also tried out a new crock pot recipe, turned out pretty delish. Here is the link if you are interested in trying it.

 

 

But eventually toward the start of the evening I felt crappy. My whole body is achy and I feel fatigued. This has been going on for quite some time. My back starts hurting and moves down to my knees. By 8pm I'm laying in bed in tears. It's either I disappear into my room or I get moody. Anyways sorry for the whoa is me banter but it feels good to write down what Is going on in my head. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Please feel free to leave a comment or two, let me know what you cooked over the weekend. Or if you just feel like ranting like I did go ahead lol.

 

 

Thanksgiving a day early

Today was a pretty decent day. Mom had to work on Thanksgiving so we did our lunch/dinner today. Lots of good food minus my overcooked ham and undercooked pumpkin pies. Normally I don't have such bad screw ups with food but it happens to the best of us. So has any of you had a Thanksgiving blunder? Hopefully not as bad as mine. The girls enjoy getting their bellies full at mamaw's .  They also managed to sucker them into renting two movies. The girls have been hollering about wanting to watch Frozen so they finally get to watch it again.

On a side note....I did receive one of my products from Tomoson to product test. It's a facial serum for anti aging. Started using it tonight, lets see how it goes in a week or so.

Rained out Halloween....

Well....we were hoping for a nice night of trick or treating but mother nature had something else in mind. So I fed the girls a quick and easy supper then proceeded to get them into costumes. Both girls were excited and dancing around the room. Kaylan my little lady bug kept her antennas on for maybe part of the trip. So like I was saying we headed off to our favorite spot to get mounds of candy. Got there right when houses were starting to turn porch lights on. Which gave me plenty of time to run down the rules with Meghan. The rules are as followed 1. Stay with me 2. you only take what they give you, don't get stingy 3.I repeat stay with me! 4. stay off the grass.

Finally we got the stroller out and headed off on our merry way. Sadly we made it to our 8th house I felt sprinkles. Im thinking oh crap we have got to turn around now and power walk back to the vehicle which is a good walk back. Yes it was only sprinkling but it was cold and I knew that it was about to be a downpour. Needless to say as we made it back to the Tahoe, the rain was picking up a little more. Meghan was fine but Kaylan was not happy that she was being removed from happy time in the dark to getting stuck back in a car seat. By the time we dodged mindless parents who was just not wanting to move out of the road and out of the neighborhood it was pouring! I think out of both kids, I was the most disappointed. I really wanted a huge hall of candy for my own guilty pleasure lol.

How was your Halloween? Any good stories? Please feel free to comment below.

My review on the Braun No Touch + Forehead Thermometer

 

From being a member of Influenster I was able to get the chance to try out the Braun No Touch + Forehead thermometer for free. In return to give my honest opinion of it. I really and truly love this thermometer and its ease of use. For any parent we all know a thermometer is a necessity in our medicine/first aid kit. This is easy to use and lightweight. Plus you do not need to have any attachments to buy. Which means no more worrying about changing out protection covers from child to child.

 

There are only two buttons and a switch on the side to worry about. The switch on the side turns the volume on or off. So when you are trying to play the silent ninja at night taking a temp, well here you go. No loud beeping noises to wake that sleeping angel. Then the other two buttons are the power button and the button to press to begin taking temp. It has three colors it shows on the screen. Green for a normal temp, yellow for early warning signs, red for high temps. I find this to be a relief for new parents who are not sure what is high and what is not. The no touch part is easy to use, you just point the light at the center front of the child's head a ding your done. Or you can just lightly rest it on the forehead in the same center front part of the forehead and get a reading.

 

All in all I find this product to be a two thumbs up. I see no down falls and should be a staple item for all parents.

 

 

Just unwinding for the night....

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Mine was nothing to really brag about. But hey that's ok, some days are going to be better then others. Sunday was spent at home til that evening. We decided to go to a family members house and go swimming. I had a pretty decent time, spending it with family I haven't seen for some time. It lifted my spirits.

It seems my life has been in a rut for the past few months. Especially this past month. I would go into further detail but who knows what might arise from that. I will say that it has sent me back into that downward spiral. I try to stay in good thoughts though, because if you believe in the positive then it will be positive. Am I correct? If I am wrong then please feel free to correct me.

I am in the process of finishing a book that is pretty catchy in some ways. When I finish it I will post a review about it. If you are the type that likes "Fifty shades of Grey" , then you may like this book. I stumbled a crossed it in amazon, so I downloaded it. Books have always been something of a hobby of mine. Ever since I learned how to read, I have had a book glued to my face. My mother will agree on that too. If it has a great story line, I will draw myself into that book. It's as if I was in the book myself.

So what is going on in my readers lives? Any good reads? Foods? I am always up for suggestions.
