The winner of the Noby Designs tote is….

Congratulations!!! I’ll be sending you an email shortly.

At the start of this year, I thought long and hard about the things that I wanted to change about myself. I know that resolutions don’t really work for me… for some reason or other they are usually short lived. Instead, I looked to set challenges for myself… make at least 1 craft a week for 52 weeks… decrapify, declutter and clean my home… as well as a few others.

I haven’t fallen off of the face of the earth, though you wouldn’t know it based on the frequency of my posts! There are things going on here at the home front that have been (and may very well continue hopefully only for a little while) taking up much of my time this past week… and no I don’t mean that I have been lazying around because Spring has finally sprung here in the Midwest… though we are trying to enjoy as much of that as we can too!! Anyway, there may be some big, Big, BIG changes going on here at home (no… not pregnant either!), but until we are sure of everything I will keep my mouth shut… which by the way is so hard to do… very, very hard to do… *giggle* *giggle* =)

Sometimes I just want to throw my hands up in the air and scream “I give up!” at the top of my lungs… oh wait, I have actually done that! Parenting is not easy and there are some days that wear on me more than others… today looks like it has potential to be one of those days.

I couldn’t have gotten the chance to take part in the Click-It diaper bag review in a more fitting time… my old diaper bag was falling apart from the inside out. I’ve been using it for the past two weeks and so far I’ve been pretty happy with it.

When I told Ray that I would be reviewing the book The Club No One Wanted To Join – Madoff Victims In Their Own Words, he looked at me and asked me why. I can’t say that I blame him for it either… I’m not the one that takes care of the investments in our home – he does. In fact, my eyes glaze over a bit when ever he starts to talk more than a few minutes.

I haven’t done very many reviews lately… well then again up until this week, I hadn’t been posting very much lately either. Last week though I received three items to review and the Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko was the first to arrive.

A little over two weeks ago a very large box appeared on our doorstep… I wasn’t exactly expecting anything, so I was a little surprised to see this

I think we all know what play dough is… I mean what child growing up over the last 30 years or so, hasn’t played with it? Do you know what Moon Dough is though? I had never heard of it prior to this review… though I had heard of and maybe played with moon sand once or twice.

Moon Dough is a new molding compound that never dries out. It is soft and light… like a marshmallow. It comes in eight (8) different colors and various play sets. We were sent the Moon Dough Barnyard and Noah couldn’t wait to open it! I was finally able to tear it out of his hands long enough to take a picture of the box and then get to work setting it up for him.

When I found out last November that I was having a little girl, I became excited and panicked at the same time. I mean I knew how to deal with a little boy, but a girl?! But then again the clothes… oh the little girl clothes… let’s face it, girl clothes are just so much cuter than little boy clothes… and there’s a whole lot more of it!
