IntelliGender and IntelliCeuticals giveaway



If you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, here's a fun giveaway for you! 

IntelliGender, which most of you already know, is an early gender prediction test. I so wish that I was pregnant so I could review this. It would be so much fun! But... I'm not, so one of my lucky readers will win both the IntelliGender test and a bottle of IntelliCeuticals Conceive-Ease Flower Essence (a $62 value).

About IntelliGender:
 IntelliGender's gender prediction test is basically a urine analysis. It's a lot like the at home pregnancy tests. Except for POAS, you pee in a cup. It turns green for a boy and orange for a girl.


From IntelliGender.com
  "It uses first morning urine and a proprietary mix of chemicals which reacts with a combination of hormones to indicate the gender of your baby.  It can be performed as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy (six weeks from the first day of the missed period). It is an easy test to perform and provides quick results in-home so the news can be shared right away.

IntelliGender reminds all pregnant moms that seeing an obstetrician early in the pregnancy is critical for the health of the mother and the baby and should follow the advice of their physician.


You simply collect first morning urine and insert into the test vessel.  Swirl rapidly in a circular motion, place the test on a flat white surface undisturbed for minutes."


 About IntelliCeuticals Conceive-Ease Flower Essence:

The Conceive-Ease Flower Essence is a 100% natural formula that enhances fertility and helps with conception. It's made up of pomegranate, citrine gem essence, aquamarine gem essence, flowering cherry essence, pink camellia, tourmaline gem essence, and wild iris.

The Boys Store $25 gift card giveaway



Some of you may remember the giveaway I done back in May for The Boy's Store. I said we'd do another one and here we are!

Just for those of you who may not have entered the last giveaway, The Boy's Store is an online store that's just for boys. Here's a little of what I wrote on the last giveaway:

If you have boys, you know how incredibly hard it is to find cute clothes for them. It's impossible to find a good selection of clothes anywhere you go, especially ones that actually fit. I mean, yes, JC Penny, Sears, and Khols are alright but even they have slim pickings most of the time. I have just learned to settle on the play clothes and get the 3-5 dollar stuff and then I shop online for their good clothes. Now, there is FINALLY a store just for boys!

I recently got a chance to review some of the clothes The Boy's Store offers. Both boys received a full outfit. 

Gavin, a long sleeved shirt by Dogwood and a pair of pants by CR sport.



And Gage got a long sleeved shirt and an adorable pair of corduroy pants both by Mulberribush


Please ignore all the little finger prints in the glass behind them! They find it hilarious to touch it right after I clean it. I'm not amused.

Gavin's pants were a little big (as they always are) but thankfully his came with adjusters. Gage's pants did not have adjusters but he's a chunky little guy so his stayed up! Both shirts fit very well but are just loose enough so there's plenty of growing room in them. All the clothes are excellent quality. When you buy kids clothes, most of the time you can tell they're cheap made. These are not like that at all. They feel sturdy, ya know? Which is what my active little boys need. Their clothes have to be able to take a beating (and a few mud puddles as well).

Want to win $25 worth of awesome clothes for your little dude? Here's what you need to do:

For the first entry (you know the rest won't count if this one's not done), head on over to The Boy's Store and tell me something you like and who you'll be buying for. It doesn't matter who, son, nephew, brother, friends boy, the little guy in your life.

Life's Truths for Mature Adults

I got this email and it made me giggle so I wanted to share it. Hope it makes you giggle too. I think what makes it so funny is that it's all SO TRUE!


Life's Truths for Mature Adults

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. Really, how ARE you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

22. I would rather try to carry 10 over-loaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to
finish a text.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?


26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'll bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

Wordless Wednesday







Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Ever have one of those days?

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel moody? One of those days where you're angry for no apparent reason? Where nothing is going wrong but you're in a bad mood anyway and you don't know why? I'm having one of those days. Usually the reasons are either PMS or being pregnant but I'm neither of those right now (at least that I know of)

It's not the kids, they're actually being very good today. They seem to be the only ones keeping me sane at the moment. Hubs hasn't done anything that's made me mad... well, this time!  I'm tired but I'm used to that. I have a ton of stuff to do but that's nothing new. Nope, everything's going as it should here today and I'm still annoyed and irritated. At what? I have no idea, haha.

I've been known to annoy people with my perkiness. I'm not usually a moody person.  This is a weird feeling for me. I could seriously use a punching bag today.

Anyway, I'm done with my whining. Sorry for that, just had to get it out. I thought it would help. It didn't.

Gavin's first soccer practice

I know it's been over 3 weeks since Gavin started soccer but I'm just now getting time to post the pictures and video! I know, I know, Mama's slacking.

The coach gave Gavin his hat. I don't know why though, it kept falling over his eyes and he couldn't see!

 Aren't they cute?


 Poor guy was exhausted


Hee hee, I'm a soccer mom now. I feel proud of that title! All I need now is a minivan... oh well, the Jeep will have to do. Oh, and I did finally find a cute pair of soccer cleats on ebay to fit him. I mean, he does only have another month left and he'll probably outgrow them by spring season but they match his uniform and all the other kids have them (I know, I'm that kind of mom. And how old am I again? I just realized how immature that sounded!)

The next 2 are me just playing around with editing.
I was trying to cover up the old guys crotch but it doesn't seem to help! I tried cropping it but it didn't look right.


I leave you with video of his very first time on a soccer field. EVER!
He has been practicing and is a little better. He sometimes goes in 
the right direction now!
