Almost three years ago the good Lord blessed me to be a mommy. Since than the journey of motherhood has had it ups and downs, the good and the bad, but most of all it has come with a lifetime of memories, endless love and a lot of laughter in the mix. I have not only been  blessed to be this little guy mommy, but I'm forever grateful. He's my everything who has taught me about a different kind love, and has and still is teaching me as I go.

I'm his mommy and his eyes I see his true love he has for me! For that I love you my little guy and I will always and forever love you! Being your mommy is one of my greatest gifts, and I will forever cherish, be thankful, be grateful, and counting my blessings!

P.S. Hope everyone had a great mother's day!

About small shop Twinkle Twinkle Lil' Jar

Hello! Have you heard of small shop Twinkle Twinkle Lil' Jar?

If not I'm here to tell you about the shop, and their products. Twinkle Twinkle Lil' Jar started up back in 2013 by a mommy named Alexis. Alexis runs everything and design everything you will see in her shop. She hands dipped each beautiful tumblers, mugs, water bottles, stainless coffee mugs, even mommy and me matching set, also customs design, so if you have a design send her an email and she will come up with something that you surely will love. While either getting a custom cup made or choosing one from the shop know that the glitter is hand dipped by her, if choose to have glitter as well as each cup is design to your taste. So be prepare it will take up to one or two weeks to get your order ship out to you as she does have a family of her own and each product is by her own hands.

With that being said I was giving the opportunity to test out two of her items that she offers in her shop. It was a wine glass, and a water bottle. Let me start off with the wine glass it was personalized with the color glitter I wanted, awesome work on the glitter. You may ask the question does the glitter come off when wet or when washing the glass?!? And the answer is not at all I have washed the glass many times and I have had a cold drink in it, and the glitter doesn't come off nor rub off not even the decal. You can also pick what you want on your glass decal wise from her shop already or custom by sending her a quick email, which you will get a response as soon as possible. Perfect for any mom who wants to take a break or try to take a break with the I have mom off duty wine glass. You know my mom off duty wine glass was perfect for me as I was trying to enjoy a evening watching TV and relaxing in my bed with my favorite lotion, of couse some crazy in the background.

Last not least my personalized water bottle! Which I love and so lightweight to carry in my son's background or by hand. I have filled it up with ice water, and have took it with me to the trampoline park here in our town. I had the decal that says Wifey and Mama in lime green my favorite color and silver glitter at the bottom. I'm proud and blessed to be those two, and I'm proud to carry this bottle around to show it off and show who I am. Again I stated above I have washed the bottle out when done and no problem whatsoever.

All board...Choo, Choo

Do you have a train lover? Are you in the market for a train set? Are you in the market in general for toys that fit your child age?

Well if the answer is yes to all the above no need to look no further than Cubbie Lee Toys Company.

Cubbie Lee Toys Company cater to children of all ages. I'm a mommy to an almost three years old boy who is obsession with anything that moves, make sounds, is loud, and of course cars, trucks and trains of all sizes and so much more. Boys and their toys, lol!

With that being said I was given the opportunity from Cubbie Lee Toys Company to review a toy that fit my son age. These are and will be my honest opinions and my pictures.

As I stated before my son is into anything that moves, makes sounds, is loud, and of course cars, trucks, trains of all sizes and so much more.

My son got to test out the train set that Cubbie Lee Toys Company had to offer. The train set came in a good size box, and everything was wrap or bag well with easy instructions on how to assemble the set and of course how many pieces for each section which was letter. After opening each package/bag, figuring out what was what, and looking at the instruction daddy was ready to set it up with the help of my myself and the little guy. Honestly, I'm not sure who was more excited about the train set, but I surely enjoyed watching my husband put yet another thing together for our son. I love how we work as a team, my husband would describe a piece and tell me what letter it was and than ask for the next thing...note while putting the train set together you will need a screw driver to screw in 4 nails. Once train set was assemble, we started putting all the accessories out that came with our train set. Beside the train set being so easy to work with the accessories that came with it was just to cute and so easy to put together as well. I love how we had trees, vehicles, a gas station, people, signs, railroad crossing, a few buildings, as well as two houses. It was fun as we had our very own little train set with a little town all in one plus the train set came with three trains to start off with, a bridge to go on and a house on the track to go through.

Let the imagination start!!! 

Now everything was set up and the fun part begin! I must say deep down inside both my husband and I enjoyed playing with it as well. I also love how my son made the sound Choo, Choo as he was moving the train around. And matter fact it's set up on our dinning room table, and he can only reach all of it with our help. You know when grandma saw the picture she is now in the market to get her baby boy his very own train table. Finally, once my son was asleep for the night, I was able to take it down with no problem, and put right back in the box where it came in. How cool is that no other box needed and easy to put away and store...a mother's dream come true, thank you Cubbie Lee Toys Company.

Here are a few pictures of the train set, my boys, and my little one! Enjoy!

My life is getting up at 5 in the morning send my husband off to work with breakfast and coffee, sometimes a workout, sometimes my son wakes up early and does not nap at all. Mom life has it days where I need a bottle of something strong and a bubble bath ok maybe just a nice hot bath...lol.

With that being said River Babe Threads shirts are made with great material, and some shirts run big and some run true to size. The mom shirt I own is a little big on me, but I make it work and it is so comfortable. You know there is not only cute shirts for us mom, there is also a line for the dads(hint father's day is around the corner), and of course a cute line for the kids. Check out the shirt my son's is wearing out to lunch:

I love mom life!! 

What's my name?

What's my name?

Is what my 2 in half year old is practicing saying and tracing, thanks to Chalk full of design. If you haven't heard of Chalk full of design on etsy.com, you should go check it out.

The owner is a mommy and wife name Lindsay who wanted to create a simple chalkboard where her and husband could write special notes to each other, than from there she create other things that you will see in her shop that has become very popular.

I had the opportunity to review yet other chalkboard from her shop, and yes these are my honest opinions. I stated above what's my name...well that is what my 2 in half year old is learning as he knows how to say it, but doesn't know how to spell it or trace it just yet. But now thanks to his personalized chalkboard he is on the road to practicing, tracing, and soon he will be able say each letter as he trace it and say it on top of that. As I'm doing this with my son I'm thinking where was this at when I was growing up! I'm so glad that we have this one and the numbers because now we can practice with him, and when he start school he won't have a problem writing his name, numbers as he started at a young age learning. 

I may have started him at a young age but it's not everyday nor all day long he's learning, he's a kid I let him have fun but I do set aside time of learning. As you will see in the pictures I sit with him, help him, and let him try to do it on his own. Especially in one of the picture you will see that he was into it as we were tracing the letters.

Chalk full of designs has learning chalkboards, quotes, even update the baby bump or monthly updates for the baby, she even offers personalized ones, blanks ones, and so much. She also offers package deals as well for two or three chalkboards, and for a few dollars more it will come with a white marker. But not to worry if you don't get the white marker, any chalk will work and to top it off its easy to clean. These chalkboard will grow with my son as he grows, as well as so easy and lightweight to carry and move around.

So head on over to her shop,  look at her products and maybe pick up one or two items from her...trust me you will love them as much as we do.

Than with kicking off with a egg hunt a week ago on Saturday, another one the day before Easter, than one today on Easter with a confetti fight and a kickball game. My son had a lot of practice and has become a pro with getting the eggs...yes at 2 in a half, he's a pro already!  Before the day got started my son found a surprised as well as my husband from the Easter bunny, which they both loved and my son kept saying WOW, look, see, thank you mama and dada...he is just to cute.
