Okay, so I might not be “official”, but I have business cards!
Oh yeah!

I got 2 different kids and already don’t like 1 of them…
It has nothing to do with the company!
My teeth look super yellow AND my house looks messy…me no likey! <--mini tantrum

Anyways here they are:

What do you think of them? You can be honest, it won’t hurt my feelings…well it might. So don’t be honest, just tell me you like them (:
Do you have business cards?

I was given the opportunity to review Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce.

Okay first off let me say HOLY COW THIS STUFF IS GOOD!
This stuff is so good we finished an entire bottle in about 2 weeks. Yeah, I’m not kidding. I’m going to need coupons to stock up! (:
You all know I don’t lie and I certainly wouldn’t recommend something that isn’t worth it.

Okay now on to the important stuff.

What to say about Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce…well what isn’t there to say?

- The sauce goes on everything. When I say everything, I truly mean EVERYTHING!
You can put it on steak, chicken, BBQ, french fries, hamburger, fish and so much more!
- It has a nice “kick” in the taste without being SPICY. I let Landon eat it, that’s how NOT spicy it is.
- It’s Gluten Free!

“Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce is in a class by itself. It is more than a steak sauce, because of its unique flavor and the variety of uses. You can grill, cook, and marinate with it, or put it in your soups, stews, baked beans, and your other favorite dishes. Experience the Taste of our Gluten Free All Purpose Sauce!”

The first night I made Wingettes, using an amazing recipe from Country Bob’s. Oh man, that’s what go us hooked!
The second night I put in on pork. I made rice to go with the pork, and it was even good mixed in the rice. What can I say, I’m a Texan!
I also put in on Tilapia. You know how much we love fish, if it’s good on fish, it’s truly good on ANYTHING! lol

You can view Country Bob’s Recipes, but remember if you’re not using Country Bob’s it’s not gonna taste like it should.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Got the mail today, duh. I received some lovely things again (:

I got some coupons, Boogie Wipes (you will have a chance to win your own package of boogie wipes soon), random samples I don’t remember signing up for (lol) and my Purex sample.

I have to say, I was impressed by Purex. Remember I recently complained about Tide’s sample pack? Well Purex sent out a coupon with their sample!!

However, there is only 1 pod in their sample like Tide. Oh well, I’m happy with a sample and coupon (:

So I decided there’s nothing better than to sit here and with a thing of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and my lotto tickets. I have to guard them with my life! lol

How are you [im]patiently waiting?

I don’t get grossed out easily. I never really have.
Well we had leftover spaghetti today for lunch.

I was so hungry that I figured Landon can feed himself, that way I could scarf my food down like a dog lol!
My food was all gone and he pointed to my bowl, I said “mama’s is all gone!” So what he did next was really sweet, he picked up a piece of hamburger and a noodle from his leg and chest and handed it to me and said “more.”
I almost cried! My baby is such a sweetie! I couldn’t ask for anything or any other child better than Landon.

Well he finally finished his lunch and I put him in the bathtub.
This next part is what grossed me out…
There were a few noodles and pieces of tomato floating in the tub. Landon picked them out and ate them!
I wouldn’t be grossed out except I’m sure he peed in the bath water, he always does lol.

I love him <3

I was given the opportunity to review the ebook “Lightning-Fast Spanish for Kids and Families” by Carolyn Woods.

This book is awesome! I will admit right off the bat that I did take a Spanish class in Junior High and in High School. I didn’t learn much because I didn’t pay attention. I do regret that now.

However, I have been reading “Lightning-Fast Spanish for Kids and Families” for about 2 weeks now and often catch myself thinking or mumbling certain words in Spanish.
I really wish Landon wasn’t behind in his speech so I could teach him Spanish.

In my opinion one of the best things Carolyn does in this book is pronounces each word for you. For example, “El cuarto (ell kwar‐toe) ‐ room” How easy does that look? Well she really does make it easy!.

Carolyn also added activities and games in the book!
There is treasure hunt, bingo, twister and other childhood favorites.

Lightning-fast Spanish is:
- Built around every day situations – no
need to set aside special time, and you
will use your new language the first day!
- Designed to work even if you don’t speak
Spanish –phonetic pronunciation is
included, no current Spanish knowledge
necessary
- Fun and easy to start

If you’re not into learning Spanish, Carolyn also has other languages to learn!
• Lightning-fast Spanish For Kids and Families
• Lightning-fast French For Kids and Families
• Lightning-fast German For Kids and Families
• Lightning-fast Italian For Kids and Families
• Lightning-fast Chinese For Kids and Families
• Lightning-fast Spanish Vocabulary Building Crossword Puzzles
• Make Money From Home With A Children’s eBay Business
• And soon to come – Lightning-fast Japanese For Kids and Families

I can’t wait for Lightning-Fast Japanese!

Oh and don’t worry, you will have a chance to win some of these goodies!

As much as I love getting mail, there is one thing I love more…being recognized.
Today, I received an email from Mom Blog Society. LaDonna (the owner of MBS) has chosen me as a featured blogger!
How cool is that?!

Anyways, then I found out that the amazing group of bloggers I teamed up with to bring you a Kindle Fire Giveaway scored 3 more Kindle Fires! That’s right 4 Kindle Fire’s to 4 winners in 1 giveaway!

What put a smile on your face today?

It’s only been about a week or 2 since I posted about Landon’s nasty attitude.
However, since I have laid down boundaries for him, things are a little better.

He still wants my phone, iPad and computer. He still throws tantrums when I don’t let him have them, but really that’s the only thing he gets mad over now.

He doesn’t hit me as much anymore. He still gets a smack in every so often, but it’s not every day like before.

He knows he goes to time out if he does something wrong. If it’s close to nap time and he has to go to time out, he’s in there for an hour at least (nap time is an hour long). He also knows when he does something wrong. He will say “uh-oh” or “oop”

All I can say is, what a relief! I was getting so discouraged and tired.
Now to just work on his bad eating habits…
