Guest Article – Tips for Using a Storage Unit

May 3, 2012

As your kids get older, you might realize that the amount of things in your home grows alongside with them. After a certain amount of time, you might be thinking about getting a storage unit to store those extraneous belongings. Here are a few small tips in using a storage unit. Get rid of bulky items! That small table that doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of your furniture? That treadmill that you use to hang your clothes on? If you’re not using them, they shouldn’t be in your home. Stow them away in your storage. Keep them there until you’re actually ready to use that treadmill, or if you plan on selling it! Hide the gifts! If your kids are sneaky, which is probably a given, they might already know their gift’s hiding locations. Kids will never look in your storage unit! If you’re planning a surprise party, hide the favors in the storage unit so your kids won’t catch on. Also, although it’s May, it’s never too early to stow away gifts for Christmas too! Find a storage ...

PhoneFetcher Review & Giveaway [ENDED]

April 30, 2012

Two weeks ago, I was sent a PhoneFetcher.  The PhoneFetcher is an elastic cord that attaches to your phone and then clips to something so that you don’t lose it.  One end of the PhoneFetcher is an alligator clip and the other end is a small plastic plug to goes into the headset/earphone outlet.  It can attach to anything, and makes it supper easy to find your phone in any bag or purse. I’m constantly losing my phone down in the diaper bag, and I usually have to dump the entire thing out to find it.  This is especially annoying when I’m carrying Hannah around.  I know that all you fellow mommy’s out there feel my pain.  So, needless to say, I was extremely excited to try this one out. When my PhoneFetcher finally arrived, I immediately put it to work.  The plug easily & snuggly fit into my Samsung Galaxy S smartphone, and I then clipped it to the inside of the diaper bag.  I was then able to easily pull my phone out when shopping.  All I had to do was tug on the cord, and out came ...

Product Review – Dr. Max Stretchmark Cream

April 30, 2012

A few weeks ago, I was sent a small jar of Dr. Max Strong Stretchmark Cream.  The cream is organic and formulated to provide nutrients and vitamins to skin, promoting elasticity and collagen to prevent and reduce the appearance of these stretch marks associated with increases in size.  The product is primarily geared to weightlifters, but it is safe for women and pregnant mothers as well. I’ve been using the cream for about two weeks, and have noticed a small difference on my legs.  After having my daughter, I’ve had problems with fluid retention and I regularly see stretch marks come and go on my upper thighs.  Since starting with the cream, my skin has been a lot softer and I haven’t noticed any new stretch marks.  The marks that are already there have also gotten a bit lighter. There were two main drawbacks to the product.  First was the scent.  I’m not quite sure what the small is, but it is very pungent and not overly pleasant.  The first few times smelling it actually ...

the fun never ends…

April 26, 2012

Tuesday's MRI turned out to be a total waste.  The place was not upfront about the cost on the phone, and we didn't find out until after we got there that it was going to cost us close to $1300 out of pocket.  I'm in no position to wait another 2 to 3 weeks to get to get in at a different place, so Jason told me not to worry about it and that we would make payments.  I then spent 30 minutes with my boobs flattened against the opening of the machine and listening to the absolute worst radio station ever, Jack FM.  They played Ace of Base, and then followed it with recoding of people begging them to never play the band again.  I was barely able to walk out of the place since they had to force my leg all the way flat.  Overall, I wasn't a happy camper.  Then, about 2 hours later, the clinic called and told that they didn't see anything wrong with the ligaments, so they don't know what's wrong with it...just that there is fluid. The doctor then called me in a stronger anti-inflammatory, ...
