invisalign_thumb.jpg

Many years of my childhood were filled with some sort of orthodontic work.  I began with head gear which led to braces and eventually retainers on the top and bottom.  I remember hating to get the impressions made of my teeth because I would gag and feel like I was choking every time.  I hated getting my braces tightened because my entire mouth would just ache.  And I really didn’t like the overall feel of having so much metal in my mouth which led to irritation and sores.  Plus they don’t look all that cute.  I’m gonna be brave and … …..

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Wet Ones. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I am so excited that the warm weather has arrived and that summer break is right around the corner.  Looking back on the school year I can’t believe how much knowledge my little five year old has been filled with while attending prekindergarten.  She knows all of her letters in both uppercase and lowercase.  Can write her name.  Can count to about 40.  Has learned about rhyming words.  … …..

Dealing with the Post Baby Body…

Tips-to-Lose-Belly-Fat-After-Pregnancy

Dilly and Sugar are the best thing that has ever happened to me.  Being a mom was definitely my calling in life. But, and this is a big but, I am not happy with the destruction they have caused on my body.  And yes it is literally destruction.  There is fat where there shouldn’t be or rather where there wasn’t before having babies.  There are stretch marks all over my thighs.  My eyes have enormous bags under them.  I have varicose veins.  And please don’t get me started on what pregnancy and breastfeeding does to your boobs.  Let’s just not … …..
