I may have a love affair.

I may have a love affair with my laptop. Not only is it aways by my side during the day, it also comes to bed with me too. Just like any relationship, things can get rocky. I'm not going to give up on something I love. I am going to work through the problems, and figure it out.  Even if it's hardware isn't all the way there anymore, or software needs updating.  I am in this relationship for the long run.

A lot of people don't know this.. but instead of just buying a whole new laptop (jumping into a different relationship.), why don't you try fixing the one you're in? I think it's easier to get dell parts, and fix the problem for cheaper, than it would be to start all over.  To eventually  have the same problems, all over again.  Least now you'll know how to fix it while saving hundreds of dollars.

Ozeri Precision II Digital Bath Scale (440 LB Edition) Review.

My website gives me the opportunity to try healthier alternatives out there.  Since I have been eating better, and walking at the park that is almost a 2 mile trail around a lake I have lost more weight. I have the best scale, ever, for tracking my weight loss with.


I have been using the Ozeri Precision II Digital Bath Scale (440LB Edition) with Widescreen Blue Xbright LCD and Step-on Activation for almost a year now to check my weight loss progress.  It has passed the test of us heavier users, and then some.


The scale turns on, only when you step down on it.  Any other kind of movement does not turn it on, which helps a lot with prolonging battery life.  The Step-on Activation makes it convenient to also store.  I store mine right up against the bathroom wall in a little cubby area, and bring it out when it's needed.  It has the same batteries in it, that came with it.


It has been with me through a lot of weight loss.  I've lost 75 lbs since March, my husband has lost over 100 (he exercises a lot more than I do, and eats better.) I just love how accurate the Ozeri Precision Bath Scale is.  Would I recommend this scale to a friend? Yes! I would, right now the scale is on sale for $20.00 on Amazon.  You can't get a scale this advanced in store for that low of a price.

If you are looking for a precision bathroom scale that lasts, and can be used for bigger numbers check out Ozeri on Amazon.  Lot's of great affordable products.

I received this product to facilitate a review, all opinions, and photos are my own.

Royal Baby Prince George's Nickname Will Be "Georgie"

A Royal Nickname

The world's new baby prince is here, and by now we all know that his name is George Alexander Louis. However, Prince Charles recently revealed that the little prince will go by the nickname "Georgie." He also told everyone that he and Camilla are "pleased as punch" to be new grandparents, and also joked that little Georgie is "very loud." The late Prince George, Duke of Kent, was also called Georgie by his family. What an adorable nickname for an adorable little guy!

Busy Man

Little Prince Georgie has had a super busy week since arriving on July 22! He went home with mom and dad only about 24 hours after his birth, and has since been visited by Prince Charles and Camilla, his uncle Prince Harry, his grandparents and aunt from his mommy's side, and of course, his most famous visitor, his great grandmother, who also happens to be the Queen of England. The little guy has had a very busy week, so hopefully by now, things are calming down, and he can get some rest, along with mom and dad as well! Kate only had around 24 hours in the hospital, so we are sure that she was exhausted! William acknowledged that little Gerogie was a loud one as well, so we are sure that he needs a little bit of rest too!

"He's a big boy and he's got a good set of lungs that's for sure," Prince William said. "He's got his mother's looks luckily."

Modern Parents

We are excited to see how Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge will raise Prince George. Both Will and Kate are especially modern parents, and have gone out of the way to show everyone that things don't have to be done exactly like they used to be! Prince Harry has already said that he is going to make sure that his new little nephew knows how to have fun, so the little guy has that to look forward to! Will and Kate are sure to be very hands on parents, and while we are sure that they will try to keep their new little guy out of the limelight at least a little bit, we are also pretty sure that they will make sure that he gets to have lots of experiences and fun, and doesn't feel like he is missing out on anything! We can't wait to follow this adorable new prince as he grows up in front of all of us!

Super Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Spice Cookies


  • Box Of Spice Cake
  • 16oz can of 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 3 Eggs
  • Oil
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg

I made these the other day. What I like about these cookies are, they are super easy to make, and my 2 year old absolutely adored them. I saw some recipes just call for a can of Pumpkin, and 1 cake mix, no other ingredients, but I used 3 eggs, and oil, can of pumpkin, Instead of water, use the pumpkin, I added a little more sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon too.

I Spooned 6 drops spaced across the baking sheet, and baked for 8 mins. My lil one went Gaga over these. The consistancy of the Pumpkin cookies remind me of whoopie pies. After tasting them, I really wished I had the ingredients to make a Pumpkin Cream Cheese filling to put between two of the cookies.

Preheat Oven to 350, Bake Each Half Dozen for 8-10 minutes.



I also added some reeces pieces, Those were my hubbys favorite, tho my 2 year old liked the plain pumpkin cookies the most.

Yum Earth Fruit Snacks! 100% Daily Vitamins.


Just when I thought YumEarth had the best Mango Tango lolly, I have to add YumEarth Banana Fruit Snack on my top, favorite, ever, sweets.  What sets Yum Earth apart from the others, would be the natural, no preservatives, and 100% Daily Vitamins. They are full of flavor! It took everything in my being, and big beautiful chocolate sad eyes for me to share the fruit snacks with my 2 year old.  They are that good.



The new Fruit Snacks come in Banana, Cherry, Peach & Strawberry in assorted packs.  These would even be great for Organic Back to School Snacks, Halloween, and Holiday Parties approaching.  Just another reason to love YumEarth-- They are FatFree.

To find out more about YumEarth Organics, check them out online at YumEarth.com, and YumEarth On Facebook.

Yum Earth Organics Lollipops Review.


Trick Or Treat.. the only trick about these Lollipops are organic and full of mouth watering flavor! I am not even kidding, that YumEarth Organics Lollipops make my mouth water.  Not just mine, but my little one that is absolutely picky about everything else, will behave for a YumEarth Lollie (yes, I go there, lol.) My favorite is the Mango Tango, his is very very Cherry.  


Instead of giving out Chocolate for Halloween,  think about YumEarth Organics. Think about the 100% Daily Vitamin C, and the possibility of opening a childs, and parents eyes up to a better alternatives that are out there.  The sweet treat is still there, just organic!


You know it's good when they want one for each hand.

Kingsberg Medical Natural Hormone Therapy Clinics.

With technology advancements now a days, the end of your 20's really doesn't mean the end of our youth.  I don't think that being in my 30's means I am old anymore.  I used to joke that I would stay 29, and retrogress back into my teenage years, while never growing older.  In reality,  there are ways to prevent aging, by HGH Therapy Clinics like Kingsberg Medical.  

Some of the benefits from HGH Therapy, that age affects, and can help be restored from our eyes sights, bones, skin elasticity, and overall well being. To find out more about Hormone Growth Therapy, ask the Experts at Kingsberg Medical.

Kingsberg Medical can even replace depleted Hormone Levels.  These are replaced with natural hormones, and it's crazy that something as simple as replacing a hormones in the human body could be the reason why our joints hurt, our skin is sagging, and our outlook on age as we grow older declines.  I really believe if we have something to look forward to, to take better care of our bodies, give it the hormones it needs, we will live longer, and wake up everyday wanting to find ways to make the only body we do possess last longer.

I know a lot of men, and women I think would benefit from this therapy that do nothing to help their bodies fight through things. Never know unless you get the doctors opinion, and try. There are different HGH Therapy for different people and their needs. Can even help with weight loss!

Cool Gear Can Review


My first impression when I saw this can online was, "Oh no not another wanna be soda can." But after receiving the can, and the overall quaility of the insulated reuseable container beyond impressed me.

The Cool Gear Can is easy to open by just sliding the slide2open piece upwards, but not TOO easy, it does not leak.  I also thought that the designs are fun, and playful.  I also don't have to worry about my 2 year old cutting himself, the Cool Gear Cans top, and lid are made out of  BPA Free Plastic.


I use reuseable IceCubes in mine,  they are just icecubes you refreeze, no water needed, so that my Cool Gear Can stays colder for even longer than the 6 estimated hours. Cool Gear has reuseable Freezer Sticks, that do the same thing! Those are pretty cool, no need to worry about having water for your sticks, just refreeze the reuseable ones.

This is a great product, and personally for myself, it tricks me into thinking I am drinking a soda, but I am not.  To me, it's helping to break a habit.


You can find the Cool Gear Can Online, at CoolGearInc.com, Walmart, CVS, and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Also, don't forget to check Cool Gear Inc out over on Facebook, they are always doing some kind of promotion, or giveaway!

Brew Over Ice Review, Loving The Iced Teas.


I am addicted to Brew Over Ice K-Cups.  The Keurig makes it easy to make fresh, in my own kitchen the flavor I am craving without venturing out into the world with 2 year old in tow just for a special drink. Personally,  I feel a bit guilty, and spoiled since Mommy has her favorite beverages hidden in the cubboard now.  I shouldn't feel this way.. but it is one of those things that feels like a splurge, but it really is a lot cheaper on the wallet. If you think about it like this,  Say the Drive Through Version of a freshly made Ice Tea, will cost out of pocket about $3, to $4.00, when you can find these KCup's on sale in store, and use the $2.00 off coupon found over at Brew Over Ice, Cool Way To Brew, sometimes you can get a 22CT of the K-Cups (Meaning 22 drinks.) for the Price of just a few Drive Through Bought beverages. 


Today I felt like trying the Snapple Peach Iced Tea,  to use the Keruig brewer it's as simple as chosing a K-Cup. Turning on the machine,  Choosing the option to Brew Over Ice, and allowing the machine to brew. All I had to do was add ice to the top of the cup, or Frozen Fruit for the Tea K-Cups! The Frozen Fruit is also great with the Vitamin Burst Flavors. If flavored teas aren't your cup of tea, there are even Natural Tea K-Cups. You'll also notice on your KCups, any kcup that is intended to be Brewed Over Ice has the Blue Circle with the Brew Over Ice Logo on it. The Peach Snapple is delicious! Being from the South I am a bit biased about my Sweet Tea, and this has a strong tea taste, enough peach to be able to taste.  My overall verdict is the Snapple KCups are DELICIOUS! 

Great machine! Definetaly Holiday Gift Guide Worthy, or anyday Worthy.  The K-Cup selection does become addicting, it's one of those, have to to always have a variety on hand.  Sometimes I feel like Tea, sometimes Iced Coffee, sometimes just dark roast.  Maybe I want a cappincuno? Endless possibilities.

Pulse Roasted Chickpea Review & 4 WINNER Giveaway!


What do you think of, when you think of Chickpeas?

Chickpeas aren't from Chickens, or even from peas.  A Chickpea is actually full of fiber, protein, and can even help regulate blood sugar.  Chickpea cultivation goes as far back as the Bronze Age, 3000BC. Click here to find out more on the history of Chickpeas, and what other nutritional value they process.  Promise you'll learn something! And, exactly what a Chickpea is!

Recently I tried the Pulse Roasted Chickpeas Variety 4 pack.
Since the Chickpeas are roasted, there is this earthy, full of taste crunch to them.  They aren't hard to bite like you normally get from overly dehydrated snacks.  I really enjoyed that they were roasted instead.  All of the flavors were great, but the Spicy Lemon Zest was my absolute favorite of the Variety Pack.  I usually like spicy, or sweet (Or combined.)

Cooking with Chickpeas.

I wanted to mention that these roasted Chickpeas are great to add to rice with dried onions & dried garlics in a Rice Maker.  The rice absorbs the Roasted Chickpea taste, and becomes soft.

We add Chickpeas to just about everything.  Even Mac & Cheese to trick the little ones. Pulse left the Mac & Cheese with a delicious Sea Salt & Garlic Taste.  The Chickpeas do soften up some, I don't add them til I am putting the butter, and cheddar slices in the noodles to melt after the noodles have already been drained.

Pulse makes it more convenient to add the extra fiber, and protein to snack time, and meals.

You can find out more about Pulse Roasted Chickpeas At www.pulseroastedchickpeas.com, Pulse on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.



There will be FOUR WINNERS For Pulse Roasted Chickpeas! Enter below!



2 Lucky Winners will Receive a Pulse Variety Pack, (Retail Value $19.96 per Variety Pack.)


1 Lucky Winner will Receive a  Pulse S.W.A.P Box. (Snack With A Purpose, Retail Value $20.00.)


1 Lucky Winner A Combo Of The Apple Raisin & Vegan Dark Chocolate,(Retail Value $7.59.)

School Of Wash Hand Made Hair & Body Spritz Review, in GreenTea & Lemon Grass.


You had me at Lemongrass & Greentea.  Not only did School Of Wash create Handmade Bath Products, like Hair and Body Spritz, but it is also Paraben-free, Talc-free, SLS-free, Sulfate-free, Sodium Chloride-free and no added colors or dyes.  I am totally a healthy hair snob, mainly because I donate my locks, and if it's not good enough for my hair, it's not good enough for my son's either.


The first thing I noticed about the spray, was the aluminum bottle.  As soon as I opened the box, I spritzed my hair, and face. Experienced a fine, cool mist on my face.  It's humid here lately, so it was highly welcomed, and much needed.  The scent of the Lemongrass & GreenTea Hair & Body Spritz genuinely compliments eachother perfectly without overpowering.   It's just a light, natural crisp aroma. The best I can explain the scent, is a sweet, earthy smell.  Some of the ingredients inside the spray itself are organic aloe juice, witch hazel, organic black willowbark extract, and tea tree essential oil. Since it passed my test, I decided to try it on my 2 year olds hair.  He has super fine strawberry blonde hair that he will twist, and knot up.  With the School Of Wash Spray It hasn't been a horrible task to keep his handsome locks straight. Great products like these just aren't for little girls.  I prefer products like these for my son.  It smells great, it does a superior job keeping his hair shiney, and knot free.  Plus he knows he's adoreable, and isn't stinky.

Bonus. School Of Wash can be for Her, Him, Kids, and Pets.  


There are literaly hundreds of different hand made scent variations to pick from School Of Wash. I am a sucker for leave in conditioners, and I find myself using SOW, and backburnered the others. I already want to try SOW's Cherry Almond, and then the Eucalyptus & Spearmint. Honestly, One of every smell I would probably squeal over, and baby my hair even more (I still haven't cut it yet this year to donate to locks of love!! I am going to soon. This will be my 5th time donating since Fracturing my leg.  I figured since I have cadavers, and an ORIF in my leg, the most I can do is donate my hair to someone that needs it, someone donated their bones so I can still walk. I'll keep donating my hair til that day comes I can give more too.)

I honestly spritz my face, and hair before leaving the house into this heat.  


School Of Wash has earned a Label on my blog, as Holiday Gift Guide Worthy.  Well for any time of the year too, but if anyone wants to know what to get me, or to donate one to someone in need?? THIS! This would be great!  For more info on how to donate to A Little Sunshine In A Bottle, to help The organization, Lily Pad, whom provides a 24-hour crisis line, forensic interviews, forensic exams and evidence collection, medical accompaniment, legal advocacy and support groups for victims and their families. , you can read it here on School Of Wash's page.  Everything behind this company is admireable.  It's unreal that this was created by love, and wanting to share at camp, to now this.  

I received product to facilitate a review.  The Product does say external use only, and keep out of reach of children, which is normal.  That just means don't let the kiddo drink it, or rub it in membranes that shouldn't have anything irritable in, 'nuff said.

Don't forget to check out School Of Wash at SchoolOfWash.com, Facebook, and Twitter.  Think you've tried a lot of differen't hair, and body spritz,  browse through their drop down menus for scents, and I bet there's atleast 100 varations you haven't tried yet.

Crescent Moon Shaped Solar Powered String Lights Review 20 LED Lights on a String, from TMART.com


I have been using my Solar Powered Moon Shaped String Lights from TMART.com inside.   The Solar Power Mono crystalline or polycrystalline silicon solar cells work well enough by just charging ontop of my computer armoire while the base is pointed towards the window.  This proves they can be used inside, not just outside.  


As you can see, the Crescent Moon Shape for the light is actually pretty thick, and detailed.  You can find these at Tmart.com under 20 LED Solar Christmas Decorative String Light with Moon Shaped.  I think they can be used anytime, year round. As long as there is enough sun to charge them.  Full sun is ALWAYS better for all Solar Powered lights like this.  I turn mine on late night, and leave them on til morning.  



Here is a quick video I made of the Lights while they were turned on.  My 2 year old loves them, and it's great mood lighting while watching a Movie inside with the Hubby while the little one is asleep too.


There are 20 LED Lights on the string itself, the lights can last up to 15 hours, depending if you let them charge a full 8 hours during the day (Full Sun in my experience was the best method!)



These do work, and I dig the style of the lights.  Not only is it eco friendly, but it's also unique to have solar lights strung above the window when the Sun Goes down, and they do automatically turn on.


What makes these great for the price tag of just $14.89 and FREE SHIPPING, is that there are two different power switches.  K1 is for static light, and K2 is for flashing light.  I prefer the Static for inside.  If this is something you would like to own, seriously, check them out.  There are other products there that are Solar Powered, also various LED lights, House hold items, gadgets, really, they have just about everything imagineable, all at a reasonable price.  Where else can you get LED Solar Powered lights like this for less than $15.00 with Free Shipping???  
Or, ones that are just big, and detailed,



I received product to facilitate a review for TMART.com! Anything Solar Powered, and awesome, I am always willing to give it a shot.  In my opinion these are pretty awesome, and I NEED more solar powered string lights now!

Bottled Water as a Choice!




In a perfect world, everyone could just goto their artisian well, and get fresh cold water in their reuseable container.  But the truth of that is,  some of us just don't have that opportunity, and even with using expensive filters, the water in our homes aren't the best.  It is cheaper personally for me to buy bottled water (RECYCLE YOUR BOTTLES.) than it is to drink tap water.  I was sick recently from Bacteria in my small intestine,  the doctor said it coud have been tap water I drank years ago that just laid dorment til my immune system lowered enough for it to really hurt me.  So I can see why those college students wanted  Bottled Water, and not fountain water.  Also,  I can't have Soda, and the other drinks have too much Sugar. Sugary, and Full of Sodium drinks don't quench your thirst. I don't understand why someone would want to get rid of Bottled Water from the schools, yet keep the Sodas?

I've noticed some people on my blogs facebook page has turned this Nestle Positive Post about wanting to stay hydrated into something negative about "buying others land," I am guessing those people don't live in the city, metro areas, and have never tasted our tap water.  It physically makes me sick. I choose to drink Bottled Water because it's safer, and cheaper for where I LIVE. That is my choice. It doesn't make me a bad person for drinking bottled water, when I do believe in recycling.

My Island Crab Salad Recipe using King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.


I love King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!! Not only am I a huge fan of the rolls, but my 2 year old enjoys them too.  They are the perfect small hand's meal.

Today we made an easy meal I call Island Crab Salad,

The ingrediants are simple,

I chopped up about 16 oz's (2 packages of Imitation Crab Meat,
1/2 Red Onion,
3 Celery Stalks,



and, my favorite part of this recipe,
The Whole Pinepple, Cored, and Chopped into Smaller Cubes.

Add the Imitation Crab, Celery, and Red Onions into a bowl,  Along with about 1/2 Cup Of Real Mayo, Some Salt & Pepper.  And then the Pineapple cubes.  


I like mine a little sweet, so I add some of the pineapples juice to the island crab salad too.

Easiest way to serve on the Dinner rolls would be to use an IceCream scooper, and it makes the Serving Size perfect for the rolls.
