Flip Out Mama

I was recently introduced to an adorable party invitation site, called The Party Starts Here. They have all sorts of invitations, including bridal, baby shower, holiday and kids parties.  The Party Starts Here was started to help put together the missing link that exists when ordering invitations. You could either choose between the hands-on attention of a brick & mortar party store, or the convenience of click and go on the internet. Thepartystartshere.com combines the two, personalizing your designs, adding little details, even helping with wording and party tips. You can even get custom invitations if you don't see anything you like on the site. They also have a "no stress party plan" option that allows thepartystartshere.com to address, stuff and mail your invitations directly to your guests! That's what I'm talking about!  What Mama Thinks:  I absolutely HATE ordering invitations at a party store, so I really like the concept of this company. They h...

As the "Official Flip Out Mama", It probably wouldn't hurt me at all to learn a little bit about Feng Shui . Y'all know I could afford to find a lil peace in my life! :) Lucky for me, Talk To The Turtle has made it easy. Talk To The Turtle is Inspirational Jewelry featuring the nine life paths of Feng Shui.  From The Site: The story goes that 4000 years ago an honorable turtle was found resting on a water’s edge in China. His gift was to share all his understanding of Feng Shui. Now you can feel the gift of the turtle in your own life. Whether you are looking for inspirational jewelry or an affirmation tool, or simply love the quirky beauty of it, this silver charm becomes a part of your life. Talktotheturtle jewelry charms are beautifully crafted tags emblazoned with the positive words inspired by the nine life-paths of Feng Shui philosophy. Which tag is right for you? Everyone’s journey is their own and whichever one you pick, it can help you shape a ...

For the past two mornings, when we've woken up, it's been foggy, and chilly, around 50 degrees. The boys have been wearing jackets, and I broke out my favorite hoodie. I can start to feel it.  Crunchy Leaves, Hot chocolate, Apple Cider,  Maybe I can cash in my Swagbucks, and get my outdoor fire pit I've been wanting....  The Pumpkin Patch,  Ahhh. I am never excited to see Summer go, but for some reason, I am really feeling Fall this year.  What about you?  What are you looking forward to about Fall?

Okay, you guys should know by now, that I am not very adventurous when it comes to food. Products, sure, I'll try it, but I'm not EATING them . When it comes to food, I'm about as plain Jane as they come. That's why I was a little hesitant to try Jamba Juice At Home Smoothies. I have never even seen a real live Jamba Juice store. I've heard the name, but I really don't know much about it.  But, I figured , what the heck, anything I can blend up and call a "milkshake" Tater will eat, so why not?  There are 3 different flavors to choose from: Strawberries Wild Razzmatazz and Mango-a-go-go The smoothies are very easy to prepare, you just add apple juice and blend for less than a minute. How simple! Jamba At Home smoothies are all natural, and has 100% of your daily vitamin C. They contain no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings. What Mama Thinks:  I actually liked these a lot! We enjoyed the Strawberries Wild the most, and then the ...

I probably own at least a hundred different kinds of lipgloss, chapstick, lip balm etc. I am kind of obsessive about it. I always have to have some with me at all times. But, the reason I have so many isn't because I like to try new kinds, although I do, the reason is more that I am scatterbrained. I lose misplace them all the time, reach into my purse, pocket or diaper bag (even my apron at work), and can't find one. Then the freaking out ensues, and I have to go to the gas station and buy another one before life can get back to whatever the hell is normal.  I think the folks @ YoYo Lip Gloss may have my problem solved.  They are introducing a new line called YoYo Lip Gloss Minis. They are dubbed as "The Lip Gloss That Can't Get Lost!" I think they made them especially for me :) Meet the first ever clip on, retractable lip gloss !! What Mama Thinks:  I received the four flavors of the new line to try for this review. They are  Big Bounce Bubblegum Cha-C...

So by now, we all should be familiar with my struggle to wean Tater off his video game/ TV addiction. It really is so weird. When my nephews were little, they would lay in the floor for hours and line up all their hot wheels, or army men, or whatever, and just play. It's like he's missing that gene or something. I mean really, like 10 minutes, tops, and he's bored. But he could sit in front of that stupid TV all day long. So I keep finding these really great products that I think will help curb the habit lol. This is another one of those products. Let me introduce you to Kaskey Kids Sports Action Figures . About Kaskey Kids: (from the site) "Kaskey Kids was founded by Bruce and Christy Kaskey in 2001 with the purpose of creating simple sports action figures.    As a mother of four sports-loving children, Christy saw that her children and their friends were happiest and most enthusiastic when sports were involved. Playing in the park, in the backyard ...
