How 3 turns into 18 and then someSo we got sucked in...became subject to what the backyard enthusiasts call "chicken math" . Our story goes somethin like this. I went to the feed store with the intentions of buying 3 chicks. One for each of the kids. We got to the feed store and saw they had 5 different breeds. I told James to pick what he wanted. We then went inside got the food and water containers, the heat lamp and walked to the counter. Some time between walking into the store and getting to the counter I lost my sanity and all gumption and logical thinking. The nice gentleman asked what else I needed, I said chick starter and some chicks. He pleasantly asked "how many?" I answered "10." I paid the man and we went outside to pick our chicks.<br />
<br />
What THE HECK! !#@*&#@^$ what was I thinking? Where did 10 come from? How had I lost my sane number of 3 that I had in mind while driving to the store, getting out of my car and looking at chicks, all the way up to actually saying how many I wanted. Oh well they were cute so I guess it's all good. So 3 turned into 10.<br />

So while sitting at the dinner table, Daddy Digs said well where are MY chickens? Dumb founded I asked him what he wanted, white Cochin was his answer. So for his birthday I ordered him two white Cochin chickens. The catch? there is a 4 chick minimum. So now I had to get two more at least. I chose two different breeds, and then I didn't want those other two to be alone so I ordered two more. So now my 3 is 16. My six new babies should hatch today and be here by Wednesday. <br />
<br />
THEN James wanted two silkie chickens. They are cool lookin, they remind me of a wookie.<br />

So 3 becomes 18. Now my friend had an incubator. BWAHAHA! I decided that wed do a life science project and hatch some eggs. We'll document the growth, diagram eggs and all that jazz. I found someone local and she is selling me 24 Cochin eggs, and one selling me 6 Americauna eggs. If all those hatch my 3 will become 48. That my friends is what you call "chicken math". I will update our 21 day adventure when it starts.<br />

Have you seen these? Ok so I am sure you have, most people have. If not well I am pretty sure you will be drooling by the time you are done reading this review. I am a sucker for my kids. That was all I wanted out of life when I grew up. I didn't have huge career aspirations, I wanted to be a wife and mom. So for me, any chance I get to show off my kids or tell my story I am there. I love that with the <a href="http://www.gypsygirl.origamiowl.com/" target="_blank">Origami Owl</a> Lockets you get to choose up to 12 charms to put into your locket. But I don't want to get ahead of myself...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So when you design your locket you start with charms. You can do birth stones, careers, hobbies, interests and so much more! TONS of charms to choose from.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigD0jD2aHiuFG_E1hJpxC23wu5ui3OmWQZpiUMjayek8GocdpSg2lh-YjiJlf6ET0ezsKizlxdLeQMQkE3bfo0P3zs18NBWVZFfa7kNb_ZYcPymwAeu6qpgVDTEc9Ty5mLQeNUOwPATn_/s1600/549066_487915784563384_1454019412_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigD0jD2aHiuFG_E1hJpxC23wu5ui3OmWQZpiUMjayek8GocdpSg2lh-YjiJlf6ET0ezsKizlxdLeQMQkE3bfo0P3zs18NBWVZFfa7kNb_ZYcPymwAeu6qpgVDTEc9Ty5mLQeNUOwPATn_/s320/549066_487915784563384_1454019412_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

So the locket Brenda built for me is lovely. It's not necessarily the one I would have built for me but I still love it. She put in gems charms for my kids, a heart for my hubby, and two things I used to love to do as a hobby, and a fun plate to reflect my bloggin that I so dearly love.</div>

I will most likely do one for me some day. I am not a fan of alexandrite for June birthstone, so I will do a pearl for James instead of the purple stone. I also will get an angel wing dangle to recognize the babies I have lost. Then just recently they came out with tags! They are awesome, I want to add I am Blessed or maybe enough, because sometimes I need to be reminded.<br />

Sorry no smiling face cause I was takin pictures by myself today! But I do really love the locket!<br />
I love that you can write your own story, design what the locket will mean to you, and have it spark the conversations and stories you want to share.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Now Lets talk about Brenda! She is totally sweet, easy going and fun to work with. She wants nothing more then for you to be happy with your locket. She is enthusiastic and caring. I highly recommend using a consultant who has a fire for what they sell. So Brenda decided along with the give away, we will be doing some auctions for some items to celebrate you! If you just want to place an order, if you contact Brenda Directly she is going to throw in a free chain!<br />

Brenda is oh so generous. She is giving away a locket to one lucky fan! You choose medium locket, three charms, and a ball station chain. Of course you can design it how you want, add dangles, change the locket size, different chain,more charms you just pay the difference. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the delivery by Christmas but can offer a gift certificate for you to give!<br />

I LOVE
hair clips, bows, pretties of all kinds for Madilyne.
They are easy to use, easy to figure out <a href="http://www.lillarose.biz/KimberlyCahoon/flexi-sizing-and-styling.html">which size</a> is right for you, and for someone who wore their hair up most of the time, gave me flexibility and <a href="http://www.lillarose.biz/KimberlyCahoon/flexi-sizing-and-styling.htmll">variety</a> without too much hassle. <br />
We
all know the famous, or should I say infamous, plastic claw hair clips?
You know you all have at least 5 like this and all have broken teeth.
They hurt, are uncomfortable, and don't really hold the hair well.<br />

I
have a hard time with elastics even sometimes, I have baby fine hair
but tons of it. My hair was long, past my shoulders. I used a large clip
and was able to get it all up, tight and secure and with no extra hair
pins.<br />

You
can see they are metal, but not uncomfortable at all! The figure 8
piece flexes and the stick has three notches in it to adjust how tight
it is. Very sturdy, very very comfortable, and super pretty!<br />
They aren't priced like gold either, $15 for the non dangly ones, and $20 for the dangly ones.<br />
<br />
So that was my experience a year ago with the flexi clips. I saw a gorgeous horse clip and I KNEW Madilyne had to have it.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="SCNProductDetailImage" name="large" src="https://secure.lillarose.biz/products/detail/2-2091.jpg" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I was right she was in immediate love. Her hair is a bit thicker and longer so I got a medium clip this time. I still love them but what to do when your hair gets cut and you loose
10 inches? Nothing holds your hair up then because it's so darned short.</div>

Did you know this amazing little cup was first used in the 1930's? Yup, It's true! Here is a quick little history and the story of <a href="http://www.divacup.com/en/home/history/">The Diva Cup</a>. I first started using The Diva cup when I did the week of give aways geared for just us women. I was introduced to Luna Pads and The Diva Cup as well as other cloth pad and various green mama alternatives. My very first thought of the cup was a scary one. It's a little daunting looking. I was sure I'd loose it up "there" or that there was NO WAY I could possibly go leak free during my period. I was gratefully proved wrong on both accounts.<br />

Let's talk about Molly... Molly is a great woman, was late in life to get her period I guess by some standards, nearly 14 and she was super embarrassed to ask about options when it did happen. Heck she even called her sister instead of telling her mom, her sister left a box of tampons on the door in a bag for her. Poor Molly started a vicious cycle of disposable use right then and there. Molly grew up, got married had babies and then developed an unbelievably heavy cycle. She would use a super plus tampon and a super plus maxi pad and still bleed through and have to change very often. It made the use of a tampon on those heavy days really useless alas she STILL use them.. what a dork! After becoming tired of changing clothes and tampons AND pads every two hours during her heaviest days she went searching. Searched for an alternative. The ick factor had a lot of pull on her choosing different products. Mama Cloth just seemed so very very ick and the cup was ick but less so. After trying both, Molly decided that amazingly neither was so ick that she wouldn't be willing to make the switch. She did and has never been happier. The reasons Molly made the switch?<br />
<br />
1. TSS was a risk she just didn't want to take any more. Don't think TSS is something you need to worry about? Check this site out. <a href="http://you-are-loved.org/">You Are Loved.org</a> Oh wait you don't know what TSS is? uh yeah dude read the little instruction pamphlet you throw out every time you open a box of tampons! TSS is serious stuff, typically more common in rayon tampons then not but still completely possible and something everyone using tampons SHOULD think about!<br />
<br />
2. There has been recent cyclings of the moldy tampon story and seriously DUDE that is hecka gross!<br />

Check out this blog that outlines the story and some other info from <a href="http://lunapads.com/blog/2012/03/eww-kotex/">The Luna Gals</a>. The original post can be read here from <a href="http://www.parrforthecourse.com/2012/03/tale-of-moldy-tampon.html">Parr For The Course </a>where I got this picture from. Dude I wanna see what I am putting into on or around my body. I can't even begin to tell you how freaked out I am by that story.<br />
<br />
3. Cost is always a factor, throwing away tons of money each year was really starting to get to me. With Cloth pads or the Diva Cup you wash and reuse making not only your carbon footprint less, but money saved is money spent later on something you actually wanna spend it on!<br />
<br />
<br />
The ick factor really isn't that bad. Actually my ick factor with disposable products were so much more then they are with cloth pads or the cup. I have found that not only do cloth pads work better then disposable ones but the fragranty smell was what made my ick factor more. Thus remove the fragranty smell and ick factor significantly less. <a href="http://www.divacup.com/">The Diva Cup</a> is by FAR my period handling choice. <br />
<br />
TSS risk is higher with the use of higher absorbancy tampons. I was using and bleeding through the highest absorbancy! A cup can hold approximately 3 times what a super plus tampon can! um are you kidding me?!?! There has NEVER been a reported case of TSS in conjunction with the use of a menstrual cup. EVER.<br />
<br />
The fact that I only empty it two-three times a day makes for less laundry and less trash on my part. I know women who only change it once a day... for me this was how I could ensure I wasn't going to leak. Before I was changing tampons, pads and clothes so often that my husband thought I had serious issues....Laundry during the week of AF used to be ridiculous for me. I had a set of underwear just for AF week... yes a whole 6 days of nasty changing all the timeness. Since changing over I have not only reduced my laundry but also the length of my period. I now have two days of heavier flow and two days of less. So reducing my period by two hole days! DIVINE! <br />
<br />
Here is some <a href="http://www.divacup.com/en/home/faqs/">FAQ</a> about The Diva Cup and info on <a href="http://www.divacup.com/en/home/sizing/">sizing</a>.<br />
<br />
I went with a size 2 because I'm over 30 and have had a baby. Last time I did a review I selected cup size as well for the winner unfortunately limiting my target audience... this time winner chooses size!<br />

I have found the stem to be shorter and more comfortable then other menstrual cups. The silicon is soft and pliable and I find it very easy to insert. I did have a learning curve, I can say the first probly three periods there was some trial and error, a learning curve on how to insert the cup and get a good seal every time. But now I am a pro and will NEVER go back! You can read some more info on being a Green Diva <a href="http://www.divacup.com/en/home/the_environment/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
You might try it and decide that it isn't for you, and at that point I'd suggest some cloth to try and hey if it turns out to not be for you at all...it's all good but man..for me the change has really changed my life for that one week out of every month!<br />
<br />

The products for 31 are wonderful. A nice variety of items as well as coordinating prints. I love being able to personalize them, especially since two of my three kids have unique names or unique spelling of names. The princess loves personalized things. I have a Large Utility tote for her laundry, it simply reads "Princess Laundry", she LOVES it!<br />

<br />
Kelli posted looking for someone to review her Awesome products. I jumped all over it! I have about 1000000 bowls, cups, jars etc that do not have lids any more. So I was super happy when she gave me the opportunity!<br />
My first question was what the heck does <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rebelTLCs">Rebel:T/L/C's </a>mean... So I found her note that explains it all and her pricing.<br />
<br />
<i>"Rebel (verb) - to resist or rise against some authority, control, or tradition. </i><br />
<i>T/L/C's = Tops, Lids, Covers! </i><br />
<br />
<i>Traditionally, if you've needed to cover a bowl and it didn't have its own lid, what did you use? Tinfoil? Plastic wrap? </i><br />
<br />
<i>Well, welcome to the Rebellion! Made from 100% cotton woven fabric and food-safe ripstop nylon, these bright, fun covers will change the way you store leftovers! Plus, caring for them is a snap! Toss them in the laundry and they come out good as new! </i><br />
<br />
<i>TLCs are lined with a food-safe polyurethane-coated ripstop nylon which is water-resistant, mildew-resistant, abrasion-resistant, rot-resistant, and is free of heavy metals, phthalates, PBBs, and PBDEs. The coated side of the nylon faces away from food. "</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
There are tons of super cute prints to choose from, and even better different shapes and sizes. Truely a cover for EVERYTHING.<br />

They are so versitile and fit and conform to the dish. I had no problems covering my Pampered Chef cake pitcher, and I covered a cereal bowl with my other one. I am going to be investing in a full set, I HATE having to use foil or plastic wrap. Neither actually cover very well and stay put, and it's a HUGE waste.<br />
Here is the super cute set I got for review.<br />

I asked Kelli to surprise me, and it was prefect!<br />
I took them on a 2 hr ride from my house to my sisters and everything survived the ride with no spills! I just tossed them into the washer and they came out sparkling new. My family is sold on them.<br />
I love that they aren't PUL lined, they are vinyl which is 100% safe for food contact. She has tons of fabrics available <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v58/rebeldream/TLCs/dibs/?start=all">here.</a><br />
<br />
Kelli wants to put this gorgeous set into the hands of one of my readers.<br />

generosity and that of others we were able to help over 150 kids and it
was their first year! <br />
<br />
<br />
A little about the process:<br />
You can find her blog here http://thechristmasfairyfb.com/<br />
and her facebook page here www.facebook.com/thechristmasfairy<br />
<br />
Applications are taken
in groups of 10 families at a time. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thechristmasfairy">The Christmas Fairy</a> goes over each
application, checks references, situations and then matches the children
up with sponsors. To fully sponsor a child you would commit to doing 10
gifts. Most of the families ask for clothing, shoes, underwear etc.
that the kids are in need of. They always include some toy or something
that their kids may enjoy. Clothing and shoes are accepted in new or
like new condition. You ship directly to the children in need and send
photos of what you sent along with shipping receipt and they get marked
off the list as done. While you are doing your shopping and shipping she
collects another group of kids and sponsors. Your word is what is
counted on, and following through is super important.<br />
<br />
You can fully sponsor a child, a whole family, partially sponsor or even just donate funds, coupons, freebies etc. There are currently children waiting, and there will be more waiting shortly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, I said I had a confession right?<br />
<br />
We are struggling, big time actually. Brian was out of work quite a bit this summer and we still struggle with bills and being able to pay them, clothe our kids, make sure they have all they need for school, food on the table, a roof over our heads. With all of that, we will not be able to afford to do anything for Christmas for the kids. I know it's not about buying stuff for them but as a parent I wish we could give them all the things they are dying to have. They are really great kids and do deserve a reward for all the great things they do and have accomplished this year.<br />
<br />
I have applied for assistance for them and they got accepted.<br />
I am so grateful for the people who give of their time and hearts to make a child's christmas memorable. I am especially grateful for who ever helps me make my children's christmas memorable. I am grateful there are programs out there to help when you are in a situation of struggle.<br />
<br />
For me I struggle and worry that they will have warm clothes, winter uniforms, shoes, underwear, socks etc. I would love for them to have their dream toy or what ever it is they wanted because again they are great kids who do not think only of themselves.<br />
<br />
They asked me if they could do the Christmas phantom that I used to do when I was a child. We will try to get one or two families and spread that love. Christmas phantom is a basket of homemade goodies, poetry, artwork etc. Then with the message to pass on the season of thanks, love, and celebrating our Christs birth. <br />
<br />
Madilyne and James are cleaning out their old un-played with toys to donate for kids who do not have toys at all. They want to donate clothing that doesn't fit etc. To them they have no idea that we don't have any money, they are always looking for other people to help.<br />
<br />
So I'm not writing this to beg for anything, well maybe I am... but not to beg for personal help. If you could give just a few dollars to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thechristmasfairy">The Christmas Fairy </a>or a program like that, it could change someones life and bring joy and laughter to a family who is in need.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have even a little extra please consider helping The Christmas Fairy or some other organization to help underprivileged families. My kids and many others will be helped by your generosity this year. The holiday season is to recognize and share love, hope, peace, and joy.<br />
Many blessings to you and yours...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03434787317375472969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958256930569542706.post-69983695655746085362011-11-14T08:03:00.001-05:002011-11-14T08:03:00.859-05:00Working on some more give aways...I am always working on rounding up give aways, as well as looking for new things to share with you.
