Fun Footwear

I came across monkey toes via twitter more specific via Lizzie Sorensen. I truly admire Lizzie’s taste; I decided to check out www.monkey-toes.com. I truly loved the shoes, socks and shirts because they are fun and adorable animal and insect themed. The Monkey-Toes family consists of five original designs - Buzzy Bees (bumblebee themed), Little Ladies (ladybug themed), Spunky Spiders (spider themed), Leap Frogs (frog themed), and Little Piggies (pig themed). The shoes are sooo adorable and comfortable that you wish she made adult sizes too…

Designer Jenny Ford

A stylish mom wanting to keep her daughters looking cute as a button, for Jenny Ford, understanding this age old truth brought forth more than peace of mind during her morning dressing routine with her two young daughters. It brought her into the world of entrepreneurship. Monkey-Toes, Ford's line of fun animal themed footwear, blossomed from a single mother's dream of being a stay-at-home mom and an all-American business owner. Inspired by her daughter's long toes, the name "Monkey-Toes" was a perfect fit for the collection of hand painted children's sneakers and matching socks.

Easy Riding

My husband noticed about a year ago an awesome stroller attachment for older kids instead of the buggy board it was a bike like attachment. Since, we already decided on two kids and he really like the attachment instead of getting a double stroller or getting buggy board that does not seem comfortable to me. I searched the internet and I located Happy Stroller's Swiss Strolli Rider by Bibi of Switzerland, I was excited because Amazon was selling it about 6 months ago. As you know, we recently decided to start trying soon and I decided to check the price again. I noticed that Strolli Rider was out of stock everywhere I looked and was not available in the

anymore. The stroller attachment was available in Europe or Asia and there was no shipping to the

option. I continue to search and I found one site and immediately purchase the attachment but my order was later cancelled because they were out of stock. I started to search again and after a few hours of searching, I found a site check it out www.hamillbaby.com.

Strolli Rider Comfort Plus

Our Price: £89.00

My personal wonderland

As a result of all my shopping, I now receive various children store catalogs. I love to see the toys, clothes and furniture for babies and kids. One of the best, is The Land of Nod because of the feel is very fun and whimsical. I recently found the most adorable one seater bean bag chair and the price was pretty reasonable. So Dilia will have a personalized one seater bean bag chair in a few weeks. In my opinion, The Land of Nod is worth a visit at http://www.landofnod.com/

I came across Lala’s Pequeños at http://lalaspequenos.com/ via Parent magazine and I love it because it was not only cute but functional. The prints and color of the fabric is absolutely adorable and so vibrant too. I only wish I discover Lala’s Pequeños earlier but I will definitely be order when #2 comes along.

Lala's Pequeños was designed by a Mother of two very busy boys, Alessandra or "LaLa" is her nickname. The driving force behind the line was that Lala want to create a keepsake that could be passed on for generations to come. Lala also strongly believes it is essential to be environmentally conscious, as well.

Awesome way to shop…

I came across Jasmere.com about a month or so ago because they were selling tinyducky $50 dollar voucher for extremely low price. I really like the concept that Jasmere negotiates exclusive discounts with our featured merchants, leveraging the power of our extensive membership. When you make an order, you are guaranteed in on today's offer, but your credit card is not yet charged. Our hope is that more users will purchase, allowing us to lower the price for all. So order now to be sure you don't miss out on this fabulous offer. Then spread the word and as more people join in, the price for everyone (including you!) will go down. Once the offer ends, we'll charge your credit card at the final (lowest) price of the day, and send you a confirmation email.

Feeling Ready....

I recently started to think about having a second child and spoke with my husband about it. He agreed because Dilia Maria is now 18 months old and we are not getting any younger either. So I schedule an appoint to have the Mirena IUD placed the January after Dilia was born removed. I must say that my experience with Mirena overall has been excellent. I did a lot of research on Mirena before I choose it for me. My period was a little crazy in the beginning for about first 3 to 4 months and then my period disappeared completely. I was a little worried until my doctor told me that it was normal. So, I have been period free for over a year and now, I should be getting it soon again. I hopeful am able to get pregnant again. Lets see...

Here is the Mirena website for more info

Dreaming comfortably...

Over a year ago, I came across www.babyhalfoff.com before the ownership had changed and I purchase the cute throw from Dreamsack. Once I received my order, I was in heaven because the throw/blanket made from bamboo was the most comfortable blanket, I have ever…ever had. The blanket was cool but warm at the same time. I immediately buy my daughter the baby throw and she adores it…it is her favorite blanket. Plus, when she on my bed, she immediately goes for my dreamsack blanket…always…Dreamsack also has a line of clothes that is as amazing as the blankets…I highly recommend checking them out. Plus, DreamSacks has a spring clearance going on

Happy Mother's day to all the moms

I received this poem last year...my first mother's day

Prettiest Mom
Before I was a Mom , I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots . I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Mama steals a great deals….

I have been blogging about my obsession for over two months….So you know that I am a shopaholic and Google fiend, I can’t help it…I have come across the best baby brands via the deals websites…Plus, I love the fact it is a surprise everyday..I am one of the moms that seats at her computer at 10:58 am EST (9am MST) to check out the deals on www.babysteals.com and www.kidsteals.com...

Ok, I am addicted but how can you not be… Here are my other favorites sites: www.mamabargains.com, www.babyhalfoff.com, www.theminisocial.com, www.zulily.com, www.mytotsy.com and www.btrendie.com. I know a few more but I think these are the best…

5/6/07..My angel

On May 6, 2007...My mami became my angel and the following is for her

I miss you mom

I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories & a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part....

My Mami and Me 1979

Wild Things....

I came across Wild Things of Noosa via Keeping up with Stella http://keepingupwithstella.blogspot.com and I love the design and the prints. I went to the etsy store and love all the adorable clothes and accessories... I especially love the summer hats and the sandpiper print.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/wildthingsofnoosa

I immediately inquired about creating toddler hat from the sandpiper print and of course the seller was more than accommodating to my request. I finally received my order yesterday and I am extremely pleased with the hat. A Wild Thing of Noosa has been added to my favorite sellers. I definitely am seeing myself as a repeat customer.
