My Life Matters Review & Giveaway ***closed***

If you are anything like me you are a on the go mom and doing good to keep track of
your schedule. Calendars on the fridge in the office along with appointment reminders stuck everywhere. Not only our schedules how many of us keep track of our nutritional needs and have monthly goals for ourselves? Do you keep track them or have any goals set? I know I do not and I really should!


I was given the opportunity to review a My Life Matters 6 month planner. My Life
Matters Planners are the "next generation" planner for women. Like most planners, it
has places to schedule time and keep track of important appointments and
commitments. But unlike other planners, it is an all-in-one system that promotes self-development and makes fulling your goals and dreams a natural part of your everyday
life. This is a hard bound planner so the little ones can not easily tear it up if they get a hold of it. There 8 Aspects of Life that this planner touches on and helps women take charge
of their lives.

              1. Organization
              2. Physical Health
              3. Finances
              4. Mental and Emotional Well-Being
              5. Spiritual Well-Being
              6. Relationships
              7. Career, Business, and Volunteer Work
              8. Life Dreams and Passions
I have to say that I love this planner! I have never had a planner that was designed to help me in so many aspects of my life or that was so helpful. As I stated above I am a
on the go mom. With Bubba in 4-H Cloverbuds, gopher buddies at church and t-ball
there is always something to do. Along with Pumpkin and Sweet Pea always at the specialist for eyes and monthly checkups it seems like I am never home. This planner
has helped me keep track of everything going on. It has also helped me be able to help Jake keep a better track of our monthly fiances with using the Budget and Expenses section. The planner also comes with a Well Women Health Information pamphlet which
is a great way to keep track of all your medical information. There are so many different great aspects of this planner I really hope you will get one for yourself or a friend. I
think they really are a must have for any women!



The My Life Matters Personal Planner for Women has won a 2011 Living Now Book Award. The planner won bronze and has been named as one of this year's best independently published journals, planners, or calendars.

Aren't you curious about this great planner and want one for yourself, maybe your mom, aunt, sister or any women in your life? Well you can purchase a Calendar Year 2011 planner for $44.00 or a 6 month planner July-December for $26.95. Or you have a
chance at winning a July-December 6 month Planner here!!! How cool is that??

Jumpstart - Math Blaster Review & Giveaway***CLOSED***


Bubba was given the opportunity to review Jumpatarts newest online game called Math Blaster. He was super excited as was I when we got the offer. He wanted to start
playing right away he loves any chance he gets to be on the computer. He is so much
like his dad when it comes to that.


Math Blaster was launched in January 2011 and is a futuristic online adventure packed with wacky aliens, high-tech gadgets and, of course, math! This game is suited for
ages 6 and up. Though it is suited for 6 year olds if they are not real well with reading
it may be a little challenging without the parents help. We found that out with Bubba, because he is just learning to read he had a little bit of a challenge. But in my opinion no
6 year old should be on a computer without adult supervision at all times. That is one reason why Bubba got so excited that he got to do this review because now he had a way to get his dad and I to let him on the computer.



Bubba really enjoys playing the Math Blaster games. Though some are to hard for
him because he does not know all his math skills like multiplication and division we had
to make sure the games he was playing were at his level. He really enjoyed the Math Blaster HyperCycle and was pretty good at it. He also enjoyed the Galaxy Grand Prix.
We all had fun playing the games together. I would have to say my favorite was the HyperCycle as well. I really enjoyed seeing Bubba being challenged with addition and subtraction. I have also seen an improvement in these skills with him.



When I asked Bubba what he though of this game he said "It's really fun and I love beating the aliens." Though some of it was hard for him and it took him a little while to grasp the concept of using the mouse and keypad on the keyboard together. I think he did well with the game. I feel that this game would be more suited for 7 and up
because by first grade you can read on your own and do not need as much help with
the following of the directions. We will continue to play Math Blaster with Bubba
especially since we can see his math skills improving while playing the games and its so fun to see how excited he gets when he beats his own scores as he improves.

Easter Weekend

Wow is all I can say about Easter Weekend....Friday was good Friday so my oldest did not have
school and my husband got out of work early. :-) We tried to get both my parents and my in-laws to take Bubba and Pumpkin for the night neither would so no date night. Oh Well... Saturday I
attended The Great Cloth Diaper Change with my good friend Danielle from Happenings of the
Harper Household at The Breastfeeding Center in Massillon, Oh. We ended up making our local paper as well. :-)


After I left The Great Cloth Diaper Change I met up with my husband and boys to pick up some last minute needed items for Easter Dinner. When we got home the boys and I decided to get our Easter Egg coloring done before they left to spend the night at there Nana & Papas house. Little did they know that there Nana & Papa had a surprise for them. They went and got a pop-up camper so they
can take the boys camping now. Bubba & Pumpkin were super excited when they saw it and the thought of camping. I love seeing the joy on my kids faces over some of the most simplest things
like the thought of getting to go camping this summer. After leaving my In-Laws Jake and I sat out
to get the boys Easter Gift. We had no clue what we would come home with. All we knew was we
were looking for either a Lizard or Rabbit. Well we ended up with the Rabbit. It is all black with a
little blue around it's huge feet. lol It's name is Bandit and its so cute!







Sunday morning Jake and I got up and redded up the house since everyone was coming over after church for dinner. My first year of cooking the Easter ham... How would it turn out you'll have to
keep reading to find out...lol We go to a small church with my in-laws and love it. My parents and brother do not attend church but I get them there with me as much as I can. And Sunday I had them
all including my brothers girlfriend. :-) I was so happy to have everyone at church with us. After
church we all headed back to my house and the boys still did not know about Bandit yet... When we
got home they went looking for there Easter Baskets which were sitting on Bandits cage. Guess
which got more attention?? Did you guess the baskets?? Yea the baskets got more attention right away. lol After the boys got there baskets I started cooking dinner. We had Ham, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Mac-n-Cheese, Corn, Green Beans, Noodles in Chicken Broth, Deviled Eggs, Veggie Tray
and Rolls. I made everything but the deviled eggs, and veggie tray. My brother came in to see if I needed any help and I had it almost all done he was like "wow sis you cook fast". lol Oh yea and how did the ham turn out here is my husbands comment "best ham ever!", my mother-in-law "Trista is cooking the ham from now on". Guess I didn't do to bad. :-) After dinner my brother-in-law and
Sweet Pea crashed on the couch together so cute had to take a picture and oh yea she is sporting
her Cow Patties Cloth Diaper that I'm doing a review on. hint hint ;-)

Greenchild Creations Review & Giveaway ***CLOSED***


I came across Greenchild Creations on facebook and loved the work I saw Anne had done. Anne, is a mom to one very special little boy and his rottweiler Lola. Nature & Natural
products has long been a love of hers, going all the way back to her grade school years.
Anne has been making natural skin care products as well as crafty items for several years now. Anne has created a sturdy one-size fitted diaper for her son and hopes you'll like it as much as she does! Currently she has 3 types of fitted diapers cotton flannel, cotton twill
and bamboo. Each diaper is made up of three layers of fabric with the third layer creating
an inner pocket. With generous side flaps, super stretchy leg elastic and an adjustable rise. These diapers will fit a wide range of sizes.





It may take some experimenting to get the best fit out of these diapers on your little one.
You will want to add a insert for added absorbency with these diapers. I found it easiest to stuff the insert and then fold the front flap down over it to the inside of the pocket. You
will need pins for these diapers I tried using a snappi and it wouldn't work. This is one of the few diapers I can use on Sweet Pea at night because I can add extra absorbency to it. I wasn't to crazy at first with the Cotton Twill it reminded me of Corduroy which I am
not a fan of at all. But I have come to love this diaper. The twill works well with keeping Sweet Pea's bowel movements from going out of her diaper. Since she is solely breastfeed
she still has very watery/runny bowel movements. Not only is this Sweet Pea's only Twill diaper but also the only one that requires pins.





The pins are actually very easy to use; I was worried at first that I might stick Sweet Pea
but luckily so far I haven't. I had a friends mom give me a little trick to do with the pins so they go in the diaper easily. When you are not using the pins keep them stuck in a bar of soap, and it works really good. Got to love when good advice gets handed down to you.
Make sure you go and check out Greenchild Creations on Etsy and facebook. If you don't
see exactly what you are looking for Anne is Happy to create a diaper for you!!
Go check out Greenchild Creations and get something nice for you and your little one!!

What A Weekend

I have to say that this past weekend was one of the best I have had in a long time. Friday my mother in law and I went shopping for the kids Easter Gifts from my in laws which is always clothes. :-) I found some great buys on Melissa and Doug puzzles for the kids Easter Baskets.
My mother in law bought the boys some new umbrellas which they needed. It was such a nice day that the kids got to play with the neighbor kids and go to the park. We ordered pizzas for dinner so we could eat quick and get back outside to enjoy the nice weather while we had it. The boys were playing ball and playing with their new umbrellas while their dad mowed the yard.




Saturday early afternoon I got to go to lunch with some great fellow mommy bloggers from the local area. It was so nice to be able to sit down and talk with fellow mommies other then on the computer. We meet at the Hartville Kitchen for a wonderful lunch and a little shopping. Come on you get women together and what else do you expect us to do but go shopping.
:-) After lunch I went home just long enough to jump into the car with my husband, kids and some family friends and headed down to Amish Country. Oh how I love Amish Country all the great foods and craft shops. We only went to Troyers Country Market to pick up goodies for the children's Easter Baskets. I also got my Easter Ham while I was there. :-) After we left Troyers we took the kids to go see "Hop" oh what a great movie. Though we don't believe in the Easter Bunny that whole plot behind the movie is very well done a great family movie. The kids feel asleep on the way home from the movie so that's always a plus no fighting with them to go to sleep.

Sunday my husband had to be up early and off to church because he sings on the praise team. I love hearing my husband sing he has such a wonderful voice. After church we took the kids to A Easter Egg Hunt at the park behind our house that my Aunt's church was putting on. They had over 10,000 eggs yes you read it right 10,000+ eggs for all the kids. It was extremely windy but a ton of fun. The boys won a door prize baskets filled with craft supplies. They were so happy!! My mother in law came down to the egg hunt with us and visited with some of my family who hasn't seen in awhile. I also got my second sponsor for the A Blogtastic Extravaganza 2.0. :-) Tommee Tippee I'm so excited....
