My 3 year old always needs something to drink in the car for when we take his dad to work. But, I hate having to buy him a drink every time we go out so straw cup would be the perfect thing for him to have juice or water in!

Fill in the Blank Friday!

I have never done one of these before...but it looked like fun, so I though I would join!  You can check out the hosts {Lauren} answers and join the fun at the little things we do. Here are my answers!

1.   I am currently obsessed with       OWLS. They are just so cute and bookish. I love their big eyes and little beaks. Adorable. Seriously contemplating doing the nursery of our next child {when we have another that is!!} all OWLS!!

2.  Today I am   elated    because,   my mom and her boyfriend are leaving for vacation which means Andy, Lawson and I get to house sit and it will be nice a quiet and relaxing without them here....selfish, I know. 

3.  The age I am is    24     and the age I feel is   probably more like 35. I guess it's because we financial struggles and family issues {like a lot of people I assume} and it really stresses me out. It seems like everyone else has it all figured out and we...well, don't.

4.  My favorite place is    in in Andy's arms. Simple as that.  Oh...and wherever Lawson is. :)

5.  Something I have been procrastinating is    paying off my debt...the bane of my existence and the reason for my answer to question #3.

6.  The last thing I purchased was      a birthday gift for a birthday party we are going to tomorrow...yay for BARBIES!! .

7.  The thing I love most about my home is     the natural  light from the big windows...it's bright and comforting. I don't like homes that are too dark and blah. I love that when the sun set's it casts a really nice glow on the house and illuminates the living room and the bedrooms. It's eerie but soothing at the same time....if that is possible! 

That was fun!

Review: EcoMom and Melissa & Doug Jumbo Numbers Puzzle

I love getting fun and educational toys for my 3 year old. I like them to be bright and cheery...but without all the noise. I like them to educate without being boring. I want them to hold his interest. 

  
With that being said, I recently was given the chance to review a Melissa and Doug  Jumbo Numbers Puzzle provided to me by EcoMom. Check it out: 

As soon as I opened the box, my son was asking if the puzzle was for him. He was so happy when I said yes. I tore off the wrap, and he was off with the puzzle. He immediately started counting out loud. Then he preceded to take all the puzzle pieces off the board and then started matching them and putting them back in place. He was naming the animals and counting them. I helped him out by showing him that there were five giraffes and that was were the number 5 went, etc.

  I love that the pieces to the puzzles are thick and chunky..great for little hands. They are not going to break easily. They are super easy to put in there respective places on the puzzle board...not too tight or too loose.  I also like that the board it's self is sturdy and not going to break easily if thrown...yep, my son has already tossed the board around quite a bit!
Overall: I LOVE THIS PUZZLE!! It is lovely to look at and I had fun helping my little guy with it.

The price is very reasonable too. $20.00. You can order it here.

And for your ordering pleasure: 15% off promotional code: SBBL730
Expires: 2/28/11

Also, when you spend $50 or more, you get FREE SHIPPING!!

Thanks so much to Sarah at Ecomom for allowing me to do this review! I really appreciate it and hope to do more in the future!  {side note: I have not posted any pictures of my son playing with his puzzle yet. I will update this post when I am using my own computer again with the photos that I have. Thanks!}

eyes on the prize

There are not too many movies that I have seen that could watch everyday....but there is definitely one. 

Green Card

Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu

1990

There is a song at the end of the movie {and the beginning of the credits} that really sums up the way I have been feeling lately and with how my life has been going. It's sung by the Emmaus Group Singers and it's called "Eyes On The Prize". Here are the lyrics. 

Last night I had a dream,
About a home that was so bright,
I don’t know why,
It has to be a dream.

Why can’t I,
Where will I,
God help me,
Help me find a home.

Just keep your eyes on the prize,
Don’t be dismayed,
Don’t be dismayed.

Deep in your heart,
You must believe:
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright,
Everything is gonna be alright someday!

Sometimes it’s hard,
Sometimes it’s cold.
Sometimes I’m in,
Sometimes I’m out.

No! I haven’t had much to eat,
Lord knows I haven’t had much sleep!

So keep your eyes on the prize,
Don’t be dismayed,
Don’t be dismayed.
Deep in your heart,
You must believe:

Everything is gonna be alright,

Everything is gonna be alright,

Everything is gonna be alright someday!

We shall overcome
We shall overcome.

Everything is gonna be alright,

Someday!
