Thank you, Melissa from Outnumbered 3-to-1 for nominating me for this award.

For this award I need to link back to the blogger who sent me this award, post where I would like to be in 10 years and pass it on to 10 awesome bloggers!

Where do I want to be in 10 years?
Gosh, ten years... We'll be getting Sissy ready for college in 2020! Bubbie and BabyGirl will be more independent, hopefully . I would like to travel a little bit more with DH. I wonder if I'll still be blogging, FBing, and twittering...

Let's Talk about GroBaby!

I brought the bioSoakers when they had BOGO specials. I used these when we are out of town. No lugging dirty diapers back home! YAY!!! The tabs doesn't come out as easily, so the covers do get sticky. I hear they are changing the tabs. I also have a fewof  the reusable soakers. I just wish I have more! The laundry tab likes to stick to the inside of the covers. I just place the laundry tabs over each other then flip them around the cover.  BioSoakers and BioWipes are NOW certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, testing for harmful substances. (I haven't tried BioWipes.)

Have you try GroBaby? Your like or dislike? I love to hear your feedback!

Disclosure: GroBaby is holding another fun contest called the SUPER G CONTEST. At the end of this week, Feb. 26th (3pm MST) the FOUR LONGEST running forum threads or blog comment string will WIN!  Each winner will receive an EXTREME GroBaby Tester Pack. The Tester Pack feature at least 10 items from our two recent testing rounds PLUS bonus GroBaby accessories. Value over $100! EACH participating poster on the winning threads/blogs will receive a 15% off coupon for a future GroBaby purchase.

Sissy and Bubbie absolutely LOVE this site. They keep fighting on who should be playing, not to mention Mommie's online time ! We only have one laptop for all of us! BabyGirl just love watching them play. She would clap when the other kids get excited. What a sweet girl! Sissy showed Bubbie how to adopt a pet. Bubbie adopted all he could in one single day and then wanted some more. At least he wasn't upset when that happened

I particularly like when the kids are playing games and learning. Bubbie actually was able to count to 10 all by himself today at bedtime. WooHoo!!! I hoping for numbers and letters recognition soon. I'm REALLY BAD! I just starting practicing with him. He'll be in Kindergarten in less than 2 years!

Sorry for the Late Post! Winner of theTriple Tropical Traditions #2 Coconut Peanut Butter { Giveaway }

I actually forgot about announcing the winning for the Triple Tropical Traditions #2 Coconut Peanut Butter { Review and Giveaway }. Random.org wasn't working correctly when I was at Mickey D's using the WiFi later this afternoon. Anyways, I wasn't sure what I would do.

Finally, the kids are in bed. Bubbie actually passed out going home from Sissy's piano lesson. He STAYED asleep even with all the commotion of getting Sissy's school work done. Sissy had a major meltdown! I was getting frustrated.

Well, I'm back to announce the winner! Yay!!! The Coconut PB had a total of 309 comments! WooHoo...the winner was Anonymous (matt4melis).

Tommee Tippee Blog Tour

Tommee Tippee®, the number-one brand of infant and toddler feeding products in Great Britain, made it's debut in America on January of this year! Their products Closer to Nature® baby bottles, nipples, pacifiers and feeding accessories, as well as its Explora® toddler cups and feeding products, are now available exclusively in all Babies“R”Us stores in the United States and online at Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us.

Tommee Tippee® will be available in Toys "R" Us stores in March/April.

The complete range of Explora products includes sippy cups, straw cups, water bottles, drinking cups,
independent meal sets, weaning bowls, food pots and utensils for children aged 6 months and beyond.


There are 5 stages of the sippy cups. I received Stage 2 Sippy Cups (left picture) and the Stage 5 Drinking Cups (right picture). They both have soft spout.

The Stage 2 have lids to protect the mouth piece. The Stage 5 have a large capacity for ultimate hydration with insulated design. Tommee Tippee® lids are all interchangeable with one another. Bubbie wanted the pink ones but didn't want me to mismatch the cups!

The only thing that I wish is the cups would be stackable. That would definitely save some cabinet space! I won't show you what mine looks like .


The valve pieces are different then what I've seen in the market place, as you can see from the picture below. Easy to assemble by matching the hole piece/shape together. These valves are Patented advance-flo for
guaranteed easy drinking and Super-sensitive Active Sensor for spill-proof and leakproof, allowing liquid to flow on demand. They are BPA- and Phthalate-free!

I also started cleaning the straws and sippy cups with the bendable washer pipe cleaners. I had several pipe cleaners left over from Sissy's project in school.  I was able to put the pipe cleaners through both of the holes for easier cleaning. They are great for fitting into small area!

I  actually started using the pipe cleaner when Sissy left her drinking cup in her room for about 2 weeks! The smell was horrible!!! It looked clean visibly. When I used the washer in the small area, I could see that it got moldy (BLACK on the pipe cleaner!) I also had to run it through the dishwasher just to make sure it got clean. EEWWWW!!!

Bubbie's showing the spill-proof aspect of the cup and Baby Girl's able to open and close the lid easily on the spout. I almost forgot to mention that the hole in the spout doesn't have the plastic thingy on them, which I like. The kids have actually ruined cups by nibbling on the plastic spouts. And Bubbie likes to poke stuff through them. The Tommee Tippee® cups will actually last much longer!

For more information on Tommee Tippee and its products, visit TommeeTippeeUS. Find them also on Twitter and Facebook.

Thank you Tommee Tippee for letting me do a review. I receive the products at no-cost. I am a reviewer for the Mom Bloggers Club. My reviews are base solely on my opinions only. Read more about my Disclosure Policy.

Happy Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year!

"Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors. The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family." -The Holiday Spot

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Chinese New Year!  I always remembered the red envelopes, the "Good Luck Moneys", we received as kids. My siblings and I would compete to see who had the most. Of course, the younger ones would always win.

I forgot to mention about no chores at all or even a shower! Everything needed to be done yesterday. You don't want to wash/lose/sweep out the good luck. Today is about togetherness and family and eating and eating!

This year is going to be my year. The year of the Tiger...

Rainbow Brite CD - That's Compact Disc NOT Cloth Diaper :0) YOU CAN GET ONE

Remember Rainbow Brite? It's making a comeback! When I was younger I always wanted one. Sissy got one as a present a few years back! And guess what? My younger sister, who is in her 30s, asked my daughter if she could have it!!! My daughter was sooo sweet and give it to her Aunt . My sister is actually pregnant with her second. It's a girl now!

I receive a special Rainbow Brite CD Pak that contained Rainbow Brite games and activities. Okay, silly me! I thought the CD was broken but you actually had to WIN to proceed to the other games. Game on! (Bubbie couldn't really use the arrow buttons and got confused at which mouse button to click, so I took over.) Yes, I did it and got into it!

The Rainbow Brite CD had some coloring pages to print out but my printers out of ink ! (And I still can't find the right ink at the store. I know I need to just order it online. I'm starting to be a procrastinator!) The Rainbow Brite website also has Animation, Games & Activities, and Downloads. I didn't get a chance to view the downloads. It took longer than expected at the website. The dolls are available at Target and Toy R Us stores.

Anyways, I received 10 CD packs. I gave a few to my sisters' kids and still have 6 CDs left. So I'm sharing it with my blogger friends.

Leave me a comment and let me know if you would like to receive one. If I have more than 6 comments, I'll use random.org to pick them out. Please make sure I have a way to contact you! I'll leave comments on until Feb 18th 4pm CST and pick them out the same day (as long as things aren't hectic at home)!

Disclaimer: I will be entered to win $25 Toys R US giftcard for blogging about Rainbow Brite. This pitch has been provided by Mom Select.
