Making a difference can be so simple!



Sometimes we forget how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life. It could be the kind words we say to the stranger on the street. Maybe the hug we give to our friend in the store. Maybe telling our children we love them everyday. Or maybe just a simple phone call made to a friend in need (even if we don't know they need it).

Today I want to thank Jammie at The Neat Things In Life for writing about Matt Kennon's song The Call! I am greatful that I took a moment and listened to this beautiful song because it reminded me of how easy it is to affect someone's life in a positive way.

I hope that you will take a moment and listen for yourself and let me know what you think! Right now you can download The Call for free! I you enjoy this as much as I did!

Yo Yo mini lip gloss review and giveaway!



I had an awesome opportunity to review the Yo Yo Lip Gloss. These lip glosses appealed to me for so many reasons. As most of you know I have a two year old daughter which means I always have my hands full and never have time to dig for lip gloss. Secondly my pocket book is a disaster even if I did have time to dig I would probably give up before I found it. For these reasons I have not bothered buying lip gloss in quite awhile even though I have always enjoyed using it.

When I saw the Yo Yo Mini Lip gloss I knew my problems were solved. These nifty tiny tubes of gloss are on a retractable string that you can attach to your belt loop or your pocket! That means no more digging through your pockets or pocketbooks to find your lip gloss! What more can a lady ask for.

Of course you know me there is always more! These lip glosses also have sparkles in them! They are tinted and they taste great! Yo Yo Mini Lip Glosses are available in

One thing that I was concerned about when I first saw them was that you squeeze them to get the gloss out. While that is not at all an issue, I was concerned that I would be wasting lip gloss by accidentally squeezing it when the top was on. After opening the lip gloss I found that there is a small stopper on the lid which prevents the lip gloss from coming out when the lid was on.

I was also excited to find that Yo Yo is coming out with many new products later this year! This will include eyeshadow, retractable lip sticks, and more. So be sure to keep checking back for more great products!

I would definitely recommend the Yo Yo Mini Lip Gloss to my friends, family, and readers!

Here come the carnivals!

Brea and I went to our first carnival of the year and I just had to share the pictures! She had a blast of course! I can't wait to get her to Disney World I can't imagine how excited she will be!

The twirling cups
It makes me dizzy, but didn't bother her a bit!
Check out her hands she even figured out how to get it to turn!


She rode the croc too
It was a little jerky, but she did just fine!

No pictures to share of the mega slide (I had to go down with her) She made me climb up those stairs 3 times. Keep in mind I am scared of heights and it was really really high up. I thought I was going to have a heart attack every time she stumbled a bit! Guess what! Yeah thats right it scared me, but she did just fine!

Her favorite ride of all had to be the dragon roller coaster! She rode it over and over! I have a couple of pics, but none of just her so I could not post them. I can't believe my 2 year old already likes roller coasters!

Pearlparadise.com Review & Giveaway! . . . The perfect gift for Mother's Day!



I should start off by saying that I am a jeans and t-shirt gal. Very seldom do I have the time or the energy to get all dressed up. So when Pearlparadise.com http://www.pearlparadise.com/ contacted me for a review I really had to consider whether or not I could find a piece that I would be able to wear all the time and not just on those occasional days that I am dressed to the nines. When I saw Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet I knew that this was the bracelet for me!

The Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet is elegant and classy, but will does not look out of place with jeans and a t-shirt either! It even seems that wearing the Black Fresh Water Pearl bracelet gives me a little more bounce in my step and a little extra confidence! After all, we all know how mom's get caught up in the life of our little one's. Sometimes that means no time to primp before we leave home, but now at least I can take a second and wear my pearls!

What more could a mom ask for. Oh, but wait there is more. This bracelet is well made too. The clasp attaches securely and I do not need to be constantly concerned about it falling off. This is really important to me because when I am chasing after my 2 year old I don't have time to think about the jewelry on my wrist!

Are you looking for something for that special mom in your life? Or maybe as a mom you would like to treat yourself?

You can purchase your very own Black Freshwater Pearl Bracelet for $61.00 at Pearlparadise.com
They also have many other pearl gift ideas so be sure to check them out today!
