I like the 30 pre-defined category tabs. Seems like sorting would be easier with them.

Family Pics at the Beach

I got off of work early today and so I thought it would be a great idea to take pics at the beach. What was I thinking?? I wanted a cute picture of all four kiddos, semi-matching clothes in perfect poses with everybody looking at the camera. Ha Ha Ha! Anyway, this is what I ended up with. My husband put it in perspective, "You have 4 beautiful children and this is what happens when you have 4 kids at the beach." Yes, honey you are right. Without further ado...here are my beautiful children. :)

1st try at the group photo.

Saturday Blog Hoppin'

I am Saturday Blog Hopping. So join me.

I am doing some blog hopping today. So, join me in the fun.

It is Friday August 20, 2010 and I am following another Social Parade. Check it out at Smart and Trendy Moms.

Tommee Tippee Giveaway!!

Hello everyone, this is my first giveaway on my blog and it is a good one.

The awesome folks at Tommee Tippee sent me the Explora sippy cups to review with my little one.

With four kids, I have been around the block with a sippy cup or two. I have yet to find a sippy cup that doesn't leak. I have tried all recommendations from all kinds of people, and to no avail was there a sippy cup that didn't leak!! Until now!! The Explora sippy cup from Tommee Tippee is the answer to all my prayers!! This sippy cup is the bomb ( am I allowed to say that? I am over 30 yah know!!) My 9 yr old daughter wants to know what "the bomb" means? Ok, I am old. I digress.

Anyway, the Explora sippy cup comes in a variety of colors and different sizes for a variety of ages. There products have the following features:

•Advance-flo™ technology for easy drinking
•Unique soft-flex spout protects gums
•Easy to hold handles
•Hygiene Cap
•Truly non spill & leak proof
•BPA Free

This company is great! They sent me the Explora sippy cup for the 9 month old stage. My 9.5 month old tried the sippy cup out and my friend received the other sippy cup for her 18 month old. They both worked great with NO LEAKS!! I have found my ultimate sippy cup. The only time it leaked, was due to my error of not putting the pieces back together properly. I would probably order the next stage down for my 9 month-er, since he had a hard time holding it. The spout is soft and comes with a hinged cover, so no searching for covers.

I love, love, love this cup! And the great people of Tommee Tippee are offering one of my followers their very own sippy cup. They will send the winner the appropriate sippy cup for the child's age.

This giveaway will be open until 11:59 PM on August 31, 2010. At that time I will use random.org to determine the winner. The winner will then be emailed and have 24 hours to respond, otherwise I will choose a new winner. This contest is open to U.S. residents only.

Donating Hair

Today I took Abbi to get her hair cut. Abbi was getting her hair cut to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign. Abbi got 10 inches cut off today. The requirement for donation is 8 inches. The hair goes to make wigs for women with cancer. This is the third time Abbi has donated her hair. I am waiting just a little longer for my hair to grow out. I have also donated twice. Abbi ended up with such a cute and stylish haircut. She loves it!! I have caught her several times looking at the new haircut today!!

I encourage anyone willing to grow and cut their hair to donate to such a worthy cause!!



The first snip of the new haircut.



10 inches of hair to donate.

I love how the back looks.
