Safety Tat review and giveaway

What if . . . . .
It is a question that has played over and over in my mind many times since having children. There are many scenarios that that bring up this question.

- The very crowed play area at the mall
- The zoo
- An outing at the park
- Anytime my husband (or anyone but me) goes out with the kids alone

Children are so quick and nimble, that they can easily slip away from you in a matter of seconds. I recently had to live through one of those split second moments of fear when you don't know where your child is. I'm hoping that I won't ever need to experience that again now that I’ve found Safety Tat. After all its frowned upon to duck tape your child to you and my Lila has figured out how to unbuckle the child harness we had. (I'm not getting into the debate over child harnesses. So please don't debate it on my page)
With Safety Tat, I knew that if the dreaded were to happen, and they did wander off, someone would know how to contact me. I was so excited when Safety Tat offered to send me some of their temporary tattoos to try out and review. With the weather being so nice we have scheduled many outings, like trips to the falls. What a great place to give them a try. And . . . what kid doesn't love tattoos?


Safety Tat also offers option for kids with food allergies, diabetes, or special needs such as autism.


They also offer customizable Safety Tat's that you can write on with a special marker. These are great for when your child is away from home with grandma or on a school outing.

A little bit about my new city

For those of you who don't know we moved from Omaha, NE to Niagara Falls, NY.

I'm a city girl through and through. Omaha is huge and easily 4x bigger than NF. my husband is originally from here so after a week of driving around we have managed to find a few stores i didn't think Niagara Falls had, and that I cant live without. Lane Bryant, where I buy all my clothing as well as the normal target, walmart, carters, ect...
I'm slowly getting used to the new tax percentile and tax on food. (we didn't have that in Neb.) I've made a few friends already and cant wait to meet one across the border. I'm waiting on my original birth certificate to get a passport or enhanced licence.

Considering NF is a tourist trap :) its nice for a local too. Lila loves the falls and wants to go see the "big water" everyday.

Cover Girl Smoky Eyes Review

I’m back and with a new review and giveaway for my readers!
I had the chance to try Cover Girl makeup recently — from the Cover Girl Smoky Eye line. We can thank Drew Barrymore for the smoky eye inspiration. When I first opened the box of Cover Girl goodies, I was more than a little excited there were three “Smoky Eyes” kits — bold, glamorous, and natural (my first choice). So the Smoky Eye line is: CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast, LineExact Liquid Liner, and LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara.

Step 1: CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast: I really liked the roll-on eyeshadow (double-ended). Super quick and easy, I would actually purchase this product.

Step 2: LineExact Liquid Line. I tried it and its great if you like liner but I have always been terrified of liners. Something about sticking a pencil or brush that close to my eye just screams danger coming! My eyes tear up and it smears before I even finish applying it. (FYI it’s not just liner, I can’t even have contacts or use eye drops.)

Step 3: LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara. I love how light weight this product was and it really made my eyes stand out!

MyBlogSpark & Cover Girl have offered up a $20 gift card to Walmart to one of you — so let’s get this show on the road!

I've returned!!

Well we are all moved. The cross country move went as well as expected. Peyton screamed for 500miles at the end. The 15 hour trip took 24 hours and he didnt sleep at all!
We ended up selling our living room funiture becasue we couldnt fit it on the truck. So I sit here in my bare living room waiting for the new funiture to be devlivered in the next 6 to 8 weeks.



The house is actually pretty great. We have a pool and a fantastic yard for the kids. Besides needing new paint (sorry to the previous owner but I'm not digging the pink living and dining rooms or the 'hulk' green bedroom) the house is in great shape.
We have unpacked about 1/2 way and there is still alot to do. We got our internet, phone and Tv setup today so look forward to my usual post and tons of reviews/giveaways.
