Seeing Two Pink Lines is Priceless

I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for First Response. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
  
 
I remember seeing these two pinks lines like it was yesterday. It was very early in the morning, around 4 a.m. or so. I wasn't due for my period for a few more days, but I wanted to test because I just had that feeling. I wanted to wait until the morning because HTC levels are suppose to be highest then. Although I normally consider 4 a.m. night time, I was awake and excited and wanted to test. Almost immediately both lines turned pink. I decided to take the other test to make sure and both lines turned pink just as quickly. I was ecstatic. I couldn't hold it in. I tried to go lay down, but I had to tell someone. So I poked my husband until he asked, "Is something wrong?" And I said, "No, I'm just pregnant." "What?!" Neither of us could sleep, we were too excited! Our second baby was on the way.

Clog Free for the Holidays with Charmin #TweetFromTheSeat

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Charmin. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

With potty training, we have gone through some toilet paper. One time SweetPea rolled off too much paper and put it all in the toilet...and then flushed! UGH! But we also have a septic tank and I need a toilet paper that I can trust to not clog my pipes. That's where Charmin comes in. Plus it's the Holiday season. And get-togethers are a must. It is super embarrassing to have to worry about finding a plunger for someone because they clogged your toilet, but also just as embarrassing for your guest to need one!

 

Creativity Inspired By Television with "Tumble Leaf" by Amazon Studios #MC

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Amazon Studios. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item to thank me for participating.

I personally believe television can be used as a great educational tool. I believe it isn't used properly that is why there is a negative stigma about it. Your child's television time should be limited and monitored. Let them watch educational shows were they learn something, whether it be the alphabet or sharing. You should talk to your children afterwards about what they've just seen and make sure they are taking what they should away from it. I understand this isn't always practical, but if you can't be there with your child, like if you are making dinner or breastfeeding a baby, you can put on something you know has a goal of developing creative thinking in children.

On-The-Go This Summer with Stonyfield

Stonyfield Pouches

We are HUGE fans of Stonyfield. We have been since SweetPea was an infant. Once she was old enough to start eating yogurt, I started buying YoBaby. So when I received the opportunity to receive free product coupons to try Stonyfield's new YoBaby, YoToddler, and YoKids yogurt pouches to test out, I jumped all over it! 

Peanut's First Bath #GenerationMustela

#sponsored I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mustela. I received product samples to facilitate to my review and to thank me for participating. #MC

I was very excited to receive some Mustela products for me and Peanut to test out. I have heard such wonderful things, but haven't ever had the opportunity. I was asked to review these products before he came, but as most of you know, he decided to come the day before I would have been 38 weeks pregnant.
