I'm a mama with baby drama!

Am I the only one out there who has a child that's a complete drama queen sometimes? I swear I do not know where she gets her attitude from definitely not from me. ;) so today she was being a total brat, for me to blog about it means it was serious. When I say brat I mean pouring water out of the tub on purpose, standing up in the basket at target (while buckled in), screaming because I wanted to watch scandal and she wanted to watch Angelina Ballerina for the millionth time today... the list goes on and on. So she's not two yet but I think she is prepping me for the "terrible twos". So its night time I always think my hair is going to fall out after days like this. Most of my thoughts consist of locking myself in the bathroom with a candy bar and letting her run wild with the dogs, while watching Angelina ballerina. Then this no good terrible toddler turns into sweet loving angel baby. "Mom, MOM, MOOOOM, tiss, tiss, tiss, Huuuuuu(insert silent G)". Translation is Mom I know I drove you crazy all day but I'm going to make up for it by giving you sweet kisses and hugs. THEN guess what the little tricky babe does next.... She tells me to lay down and starts trying to brush my hair, how does something so simple and small melt my heart like a popsicle on the fourth of July! This girl sure does know how to drive me crazy, her pull on my heart is so much stronger though. Just when you think you can't handle the day any longer, the little sourpatch kid will do something to remind you it is absolutely positively worth every strand of hair that falls out from stress, the flooded bathroom floor, the burnt food in the oven, the stains from sticky fingers on your new outfit. If at the end of the day you haven't went through some type of stressful mommy moment your probably not doing your job right ;) jk your just one lucky lady. Oh and ignore all of my typos and punctuation. I am a terrible writer and I also love run-on sentences.

sharpies & dollar store mugs :)

So a few days through all of my pinteresting I found a really cool tutorial about writing on mugs from the dollar store with sharpie then baking them at 350 for 30 minutes--- guess what I did?!

I went to the dollar store and got a big cool mug for my many different kinds of tea I drink and also a soap dispenser for our bathroom! Then I came home and scribbled on paper for a while practicing my handwriting because I HATE my handwriting its terrible and in all the tutorials I saw, their handwriting looked so cute! Anyways finally I just wrote on the darn stuff. So here are my finished products oh and from what I've read on these do not wash in dishwasher so hand wash only. I will let you know more after I actually use them :) 

Team Taylor News Segment

                                          (Taylor and I at her sons first birthday January 2012)

So my eyes completely filled with tears when I just watched the news segment of Taylor. Not because i'm sad for her, I do feel bad, but a girl like Taylor makes it hard to be sad because I know her so well, she would be the first one to tell me NOT to be upset. All I can say about this is, that girl has so much heart and shes just an absolute fighter. I could go on for days about how much she means to me and how huge of an inspiration she is and always has been, a loving mother, friend, daughter, sister, she's just an amazing person and no matter what life throws at her she just goes at it head on. I love you Taylor so much and I hope you know how much I wish I could be by your side through this all!

Her insurance is set to end at the end of this month and donations that you can send would be greatly appreciated you can donate at http://www.teamtaylorchurch.com/ also you can help by praying and sending positive thoughts for a speedy recovery from all of this.

Team Taylor Church

This is my beautiful friend Taylor Church and her son Aiden. I ask that you read her story below and finish the rest of the story on http://www.teamtaylorchurch.com/ please send lots of prayers and positive thoughts you can also donate to help with medical bills on the website. Her story is also featured on ABC news channel 10 for everyone in San Diego, California tonight at 11 p.m. 

"Taylor Church is a spirited, fun loving, vivacious 21-year old.  On Wednesday May 16th, Taylor was taken to the emergency room at Palomar hospital after suffering several days of flu like symptoms.  After being examined they realized she had Sepsis, a severe infection of the bloodstream.

Three days later she had double pneumonia, extremely low blood pressure, and a racing heart rate. By Saturday morning she was put in a drug induced coma and placed on a ventilator as one by one her organs began to shut down.

On Monday, June 4, Taylor had both of her legs amputated just below the knee and her hands will be amputated later this week as the result of the powerful medication required to treat sepsis.

Taylor Church’s dad Chris served 25 years in the United States Marine Corp with his wife Laurie by his side for the past 26 years. The family is not only experiencing tremendous heartache right now but also some financial burdens with more to come to pay for Taylor’s care."

Feel free to message me with any questions about any of the sites listed some of the ones that work with facebook apps are better to view on your smart phone vs. the computer.



Totsy- can't remember if they give you a credit when you join or not it's been a while but its worth it to try they have awesome stuff and daily sales! I've ordered a piggybank and some little silkies for my baby a while back and I can't remember if I had a credit or it was just really cheap that was 5-6 months ago! I know I spent like under $10 though.

http://www.vitacost.com/Referee?wlsrc=rsReferral&ReferralCode=90228820


Listia- Okay so this site is pretty cool you never pay with money almost like ebay but you use and can earn points and bid on stuff also you can post stuff up you don't need there are also a lot of free items that people just want to get rid of I think you get like an automatic 400-500 points just for joining and more whenever you link with facebook and twitter accounts. It's worth it to atleast sign up big on something with your free points they give you once again its something free that you wouldn't have had otherwise :) (already one a doll, a little people play set, and a mcdonalds toy all FREE with the credits they gave me for joining)

Is That Odd- Just learned of this website today it's pretty cool you get 100 "odd coins" to start off and then from their you just randomly can earn points by asking questions or answering question to people who have all sorts of questions about children, pets, stuff happening in the world. I earned over 2,000 odd coins in about an hour and used them for a free sample of skin moisturizer a full size bottle. well worth it and it was nice to answer some questions to help out new moms and pet owners.

Fab- this site is another daily deals site they have all kinds of different fun stuff for pretty much any and everyone also sometimes they will randomly have free shipping but most items will end up free with the $10 credit they give you and then you just pay shipping.

I think I have a few more but these are the top ones I've use and keep in mind that you can refer your friends and get rewards also so everyone benefits from these I will get a referral reward for everyone who joins so Thanks for helping me out too :)

If you would like to continue to follow freebies and samples I would continue checking blog since I feel bad blowing up all my friends newsfeeds on facebook haha but I get so excited over these things :)

Okay so here is a site that you can use to test products, How it works you feel out a series of surveys most of them are 1-2 questions just so they can see what kind of products would be a good fit for you, check you email daily and sign on to check for new surveys.
the trick to getting more product samples is to keep your file up to date and connect with facebook/twitter/mypoints it will tell you how to keep your bzzscore high.

www.bzzagent.com

oh and the site I use for finding all my free samples is www.myfreeproductsamples.com Also "like" her facebook page for more freebies. To get started as a free sampler I recommend go to the website click on the box that says FREE SAMPLES and then there is a drop down list of baby samples, pet samples, health samples, etc. I personally went through every single list and signed up for the one I could use. So if you have some free time for that then you can do it but it literally took me over 6 to 7 hours to complete all the freebies I signed up for but trust me there will be a lot of packages in the next 4-6 weeks shipping to my house. lol If you don't have time to do all of that which i'm sure most of you don't just keep up with the facebook site and slowly start or if there are certain types of products you really want then just search in that category like baby, health, food, makeup, etc.
