Early Invite At BzzAgent

I received my first early invite over a BzzAgent.com. As in my previous postings I hate cleaning my apartment so much that I must clean something everyday. If not I know I will be sending myself and my family down a very cluttered and grimey existence.

I cant wait to receive my package of Pledge Multi-Surface cleaners. I plan on having a cleaning tips party, I am thinking of creating take home Cd's. I will create housecleaning charts, recipes for great homemade Eco friendly cleaning recipes and lots of organizational tips.

I will keep you guys posted on the put come of the party.

Get to Houseparty NOW!

Houseparty.com has come great parties coming out for the month of September. There are two that I really would like, the first being the Cannon Scrapbooking Party and the other being the Better Homes And Garden Party. Both would be helpful in my life, more so the Better Homes And Garden Party, as much as I love a clean and comfy apartment, I hate cleaning. Which I do on a daily basis.

I clean and I clean and I organize to no avail. It seems that when I lay down to sleep, my possessions find themselves a new place to live, and apparently they like to move around. No item in my house has a definite home. One day I tell ya I'm going to be organized to the gills and have soooooooo much time to mush around that I may go crazy.

Now the Cannon Scrapbooking Party I would love to get, this party would force me to have fun doing something that I truly love. Now I am not an expert scrapbooker, but I am no novice. I love designing photo books online. Mostly from Shutterfly or SnapFish. I love the cute little ditties that come along with scrapbooking.

Enter To Win 1-3 Prizes From Fisher-Price





Enter to WIN !!





All you need to do is signup for their free email newsletter! 25 Winners will be picked randomly to win one of three prizes.





I was the greatful reciepent of a Cradle 'n Swing swing. When Yum Yum was teething (he started really early at 4 1/2 months old) this was one of the only ways I could find a bit of peace during the day.

Yum absolutely loved the lights, music and the mobile. He would sit there staring up and coo. We have since passed the swing on to a family member who loves it just as much as we did.

Max Factor Bzzagent Campaign !

This week I received a new campaign from BzzAgent.com. Now I am not your wear makeup to check the mail kinda girl. I am more the makeup to go to a wedding type. I just don't have the brain space to remember to touch up, reapply or even remember to put it on type.

So when I was offered the Max Factor campaign I jumped at the chance to review and chat about a (from what I hear) great cosmetic company. My campaign box included, mascara, blush, a blush brush,some kind of all day stay on lipstick and let's not forget my favorite thing in the world COUPONS!! I have decided that I will wear one, or all three everyday for the duration of the campaign and be honest about how it feels and how it stands up to my everyday life.

Monday was my first try out and it went well, the mascara when I rubbed my eyes didn't bother me at all and stayed on, it didn't flake off or give me a smokey eye. The blush was no where to be seen around 2pm, and I really did not like the feel of the blush brush. I didn't remember to bring it any of the makeup with me, so that was not so good. The lipstick however not only stayed on all day, but the next morning when I woke up, the lipstick was still look ultra sexy. And yeah I showered, lol.

I decided to reapply only the mascara and blush remembering to stash all the makeup in my book bag. (sorry I am not a purse wearing kinda girl either). I did have to reapply the blush a few times during the day, with only a slight fear of breaking out (as I have fairly sensitive skin). But the mascara was standing tall. No need to touch that up! The lipstick was still in great shape although I love the way the it looks faded and wished not to reapply.

So far I really like their products, and will keep yall updated on how it goes.

Lost Out On Fisher-Price Houseparty!


I had a really busy day on Tues. so busy in fact I wasn't even able to check my emails. Had I been able to, I would have had a shot at snatching up a spot for the coveted Fisher-Price Houseparty.

I have to tell you I almost cried at my desk, my coworkers were peeking out of the corners of their eyes. I really really wanted this houseparty, lol. I had visions of having a end of summer party for all of Yum Yum's friends. I was going to decorate my backyard and buy balloons. I was even going to ask a family friend to dress up like a clown and make balloon animals.

I am still a big fan of both Fisher-Price , I truly believe that this company produces the most amazing products for infants and children alike. Their products have forever been a part of my childhood and will be apart of my children's live as well.

And Houseparty for that matter, I have no one to blame but myself, lol. But I have learned my lesson and will soon be purchasing a cellphone where I can check my emails on the go AND access the Internet in a blink of an eye. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you heard of Houseparty.com







I was introduced to the Houseparty site a while ago and have had a great time applying to upcoming parties. I love a good party! I am one of those people who looks for any reason to celebrate even if its only for a few hours, Sporty is student of the month - I plan a great family dinner and invite his friends, some neighbors and some extended family. Yum Yum said a new word I'm in the kitchen baking a cake from scratch with the new word written in yummy frosting.

DH is soo good about me throwing impromptu gatherings, even though he wont admit it I believe secretly he loves it. Who wouldn't want to come home to a group of good friends, good food and lively conversation.

This is a legitimate product review site, that brings a great twist to any social gathering. When you apply for a party and actually get in it seems you will receive a ton of party planning items. Most of the promotional items can be used time and time again.

I implore you to check out Houseparty.com

OMAC Cooking Anyone?

I have decided that this months food shopping will be dedicated to saving me not only money but time.

I am in the process of compiling a list of family friendly freezable recipes and I will attempt to take an entire weekend (hopefully the weekend after next) and do nothing but cook. I have already see some troubles I may come across and will work the next two weeks to minimize the impact these bumps may have on my days of cooking.

This week I plan on figuring out how many pounds of this, ounces of that, tbs. of this, and the oh don't forget a dash or two of this also. I am hoping that the in-laws will accept Yum Yum into their humble abode, in exchange for some extra dishes should their be any.

I will also attempt (next week) to get all of my cleaning and organizing of our apartment to a point where a full weekend of not picking up, putting away, tossing or packing away wont throw me into a whirl wind of ooey gooey omg I need to move state of mind. I will wash all my pots and pans, take an inventory of all measuring cups, sort out my Tupperware and reorganize my top freezer and my deep freezer.

I plan on shopping this Saturday (hopefully without Yum Yum and while Sporty and DH are at football practice), and hope to chop, peel and separate my ingredients. That is IF I am able to find all the items I need.

Next week I will clean and organize, and fit is some ready - getting ready for cook days.
