Welcome Our Newest Addition

                   I am so proud to announce the newest addition to our family! Landon Carter was born on October 2, 2014. He was born at exactly 41 weeks and weighed 7lbs and 15oz. He has brought us such joy. It's been so much fun having another boy in the family, because my first born son is now 11. Following my first born son came 2 girls, so it's been a while since I have bought baby boy clothes.
                 I think the best part about having a new baby in the family is just watching him grow and add beautiful memories to keep dear to our hearts. I started to cloth diaper Landon right from birth. Cloth diapering has been going awesome! I absolutely love to cloth diaper! I even use cloth wipes which helps to save us even more money! My current Cloth Diaper stash consists of pretty much all FuzziBunz.
               I do have to admit that I am not very fond of their new sizing on their "One Size" cloth diapers. They use to be pretty large and so you could downsize them pretty well, but now they are very trim and are much smaller. I am definitely needing to find another brand that I like, because these will simply not work out well for us. FuzziBunz One Size cloth diapers has what they call "S" or "L" One Size. To me that is not a true "One Size."
               I am hoping to try out a few brands to see what works best for us. It's been only 1 year between potty training Brooklyn and giving birth to Landon, but I guess the cloth diaper companies have changed their patterns since that time.

Impress Nails

Impress Nails

'The new innovation from Broadway offers an exciting nail collection which is easy to apply , doesn't damage the nail bed, is long lasting with high shine and comes in a variety of colours and patterns for the ultimate fashionable look'

This is what Broadway have to say about there new Impress nails. I for one avoid false nails like the plague, I've never had a good experience with them. They end up being a pain to apply & then when you finally take them off your nails are left damaged. So when these arrived for me to try I was excited but extremely apprehensive.

You get 24 nails in a range of 12 sizes. Each nail comes with a plastic tab that you gently remove to apply to your nail. Broadway definitely make it sound easy & the pictures on the back of the pack make it look easy & it really was. It took me less than 5 minutes to apply all the nails. A quick swipe of the cleansing wipe, peel off the tab, stick to my nails & I was done.

The sizes & shapes were a perfect fit meaning there was no filing & even better it meant there was no awkward moments trying to use my nails afterwards. We've all had that moment your trying to send a text when your wearing false nails & it just doesn't work. I had none of this. I even had some comments from strangers complimenting my nails & when I told them they were stick ons they were shocked.

Broadway claim they can last up to a week when applied properly. I applied mine late on Monday night & removed them on Friday night purely because I was planning on doing some DIY on Saturday so I didn't want the nails to get covered in paint. I took pictures each day, the pictures all look the same purely because the nails lasted so well.

The only downside to the nails were on Wednesday a tiny gap appeared between my nail bed & the nail which meant any time I was doing anything with my hair it would get caught between the gap & pull.

Removal was easy, a quick dab of nail varnish remover & the nails peeled off. My own nails underneath weren't damaged in the slightest in fact they were looking healthier than before.

Pros - Long lasting natural looking nails which are perfect if you have an event to attend or your heading away for a few days & don't have time for a manicure.

Cons - The slight gap that appeared between the nail & my nail bed.

Impress nails are available from pharmacies nationwide. The block colours retail for $7.99 & the pattern nails retail for $9.99

Having a hard time thinking of a unique and perfect gift for Valentine's Day? ZChocolate is the Perfect gift! When I received my ZChocolates in the mail not only were they super fast at delivery, but I had no idea how amazing this gift was until I opened the box. I was so amazed at how special this gift was!
First off I noticed that the box of chocolates were in a gift bag that had a pocket in the front with a customized note(perfect for those special words for your Valentine) and behind the note was a tiny booklet telling you what was in each piece of chocolate.( Some of the chocolates were numbered as well.) The bag was tied with a leather string and looped with a wooded heart. When I opened the bag I was blown away, because right away I noticed that the beautiful wooden box had a heart cut out of the top and the piece was what was tied to the bag. So, what is so unique about this box of chocolates you ask, the front of the box had my name engraved on it! How special is that! =)

A Warm Welcome To My Blog!

Welcome to my Blog! ;) My name is Michelle and I am a proud stay at home mommy of 4 beautiful children. We just welcomed our 4th baby girl Brooklyn Mackenzie on July 17, 2011! We are very blessed to have her in our arms due to the fact that we almost lost her due to a blood clot behind the placenta at 11 weeks pregnant. It was very scary not knowing what the next day would bring. We are very blessed to have a very healthy sweet baby girl on our hands.

The day my sweet Brooklyn was born I became a stay at home mommy. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home with my 4 year old and the new baby through the day. They grow up so fast and with a blink of an eye they are 9 years old. My sweet Emily will be 10 in March and Nathaniel will be 8 in April. Raising 4 children isn't always easy but it is so worth it at the end of the day.

When Brooklyn turned 5 weeks old I decided to cloth diaper to help save on money. We are now going on 4 1/2 months of cloth diapering and I Love it!! At first it was a bit confusing with all of the different types, styles, and brands but I am slowly trying out different brands to find ones that will work best for us. I love reading and viewing reviews on them because one mom's advice to another is like gold!

Some of you may know me already from my Vlogging on YouTube. I have been Vlogging for over 2 years now I believe. I got more serious about vlogging just right before I got pregnant with Brooklyn. I am glad that I did because I have made some pretty awesome friends from it! Mommy advice is the best and I love to give it and receive it!  Please subscribe and join us in our journey!
