Say Yes!

May 16, 2012 4 Comments
I've got a challenge for you, my readers!  Are you ready?  It's a good one and of course there is a chance to win some great products.

I was contacted by company that had just recently done an online survey of Canadians moms about how often they have to say no to their children's request for family time.  65% said lack of time is the major barrier because of such busy busy schedules.  95% of moms WANT to spend more time with their children but 64% have to say no.

I say It’s time to say yes! And so does Procter & Gamble.  We were lucky enough to receive a Yes Kit one and it was filled with everything we needed to make a GREAT yes day!

Included in the Yes Kit was 
  • Tide® original liquid laundry detergent, 
  • Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser, 
  • box of Puffs® facial tissue, 
  • Charmin® Freshmates, Bountry® paper towel, 
  • 1 adult and 2 child-size aprons,  
  • Along with ideas to create more fun-filled family moments. 
This package is valued at $50.00.

So go ahead, make your child’s day and say “Yes”! 


Need a few ideas on what you can do with your child?  

Arts and crafts that we love doing


  • Finger painting/Painting
  • Play-doh - we ALWAYS make our own check out this recipe
  • Glue sticks and glitter - lots of fun things happen with these two things!
  • Bomb painting the the driveway!







Use rafflecopter to enter for a chance to win your very own "Yes Kit" and make an extra effort this next week to say Yes to your kids and the ideas they have.  Let's all have a few more carpet picnics/tea parties, finger painting and fort building!  We owe it to our kids!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet Girl

May 03, 2012 1 Comments
I can't believe when I work up this morning at 7, I had a 4 year old daughter.

On this day 4 years ago you were born!  So SWEET, so TINY, so PERFECT!  You had a squished little nose that everyone made sure to remind me would "fix" itself.  You were bright pink, and had the darkest head of hair I had ever seen!  You were perfect and you were all mine!

Now you're 4 years old and I was lying in bed with you this morning watching your eyes move around and a smile perk up on your face every couple of minutes.  I smiled because of how much love I have for you and for your BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, CARING and ADVENTUROUS personality.  I couldn't image a day going by without you in it.

You have made my life perfect!  You have taught me to LOVE, to CARE, to EXPLORE, to LAUGH, to be a KID, to SMILE, to CHALLENGE myself and to LOVE who I am!

You make me SMILE, you make me CRY, you make me QUESTION.

You are INCREDIBLE! SMART, CRAZY, OUTGOING, PLAYFUL  and I'm so lucky to have such an amazing person to watch grow.  I am the luckiest mom around to be your mom and I wish you the best HAPPIEST birthday you could ever have.

You are my ROCKSTAR!

I LOVE YOU!
