Personalized Gifts For Mom From Treat *Giveaway*

   

 *I was compensated in some way for this post please see below*


    In our family, it's become quite a tradition to send personalized gifts for holidays!  Because when you don't get to see each other very often (or even if you do) who doesn't love to receive a beautiful gift, or card with your loved ones pictures on it, or something special written inside?  One of my favorites, is the one I sent my mother a few years ago, it was a beautiful card with the kids pictures on it, and I wrote something personal and dear to my heart on the inside.  It just makes holidays that much more special!  That why this year for Mother's Day, I'll be sending out personalized cards again (and I hope to get some in return!).

Rackets, Tacos, and Candy...Oh My!

 
    What a day!  So after getting up early and getting everyone feed and ready to go.  Off to town we went.  First we went to a local thrift store, where my son wanted down, and tried to run all over the store screaming from excitement.  Until he found a kids tennis racket that he insisted on carrying around the store, and slamming on the floor every 5 seconds!  So after mean old mommy took the racket away, and picked his little but up, and told both kids that it was in fact time to leave, he began to scream again!  Only this time he was pissed!  So we checked out, and got everyone buckled back into the car. 

1..2..Buckle Your Shoe

   

So after all winter of wearing zip up ugg style boots, Audrey had a huge surprise for me the other day.  She can almost tie her shoes all by herself!  I almost had a peed myself when I seen her do it.  And I have no idea where she learned to do it either.  Because in our family no has worn shoes with laces since November, heck I'm just now buying new gym shoes for the kids so they can put their boots away!  So I don't know if Audrey's been secretly practicing while everyone is asleep, or if she just remembered how I done it 6 months ago.  But either way I'm in total shock!  I mean could this really be my child?  I couldn't even tie my shoes until the end of Kindergarten!  I remember this because they was going to hold me back until I learned (stupid rule huh?).  I told my mom that I could just wear velcro shoes for the rest of my life lol!

The Christian Mama's Guide To Parenting A Toddler by: Erin MacPherson *Review*

   

I love this book!  I've really found it truly inspirational, and full of great advice!  I also love that I can relate to a lot of the situations she's went though.  It doesn't feel as though she's a professional giving me cold advice.  But more like a best friend that's been through the same the thing, and is trying to help.  Unlike most parenting books (that I only read when I'm trying to find information), I read this book all the way through (and found it enjoying).  I also have so many pages highlighted, and dog eared because it has so much helpful tips and advice!

The Luck Of The Ummm......Bunny?

   

First I want to start of by saying happy late Easter!  I hope everyone had a really good Easter!  Audrey had a pretty good day, even though she was still recovering from a stomach virus, but Banner on the other hand had a horrible day!  Which is awful being his first Easter and all, I really had hoped it would go smoothly.  But in our family I should've known better!
