MOMs Club

Some of you may have heard of this, but I was SUPER excited when I came across it. It's an international non-profit organization called "Moms' Club." I have been wondering how I could meet new moms with children my boy's age and find fun things to do. There seem to be groups in most of states. Click on this link (MOMs Club) and then click on "chapters" to find a club near you. I went to the open house for it a few days ago in my county and it was insane! There were TONS of moms with their kids at the park and I got to meet some potential new friends! Yay! They also gave me a calendar of this month's activities, and I couldn't believe how many things they do each month! You can go to as many or as few of them as you'd like. It was created for "stay-at-home" moms, but I found that the one I attended had lots of moms that also worked part time, or worked out of their home. You can also bring your children to ALL activities (except once a month they do "moms night out" where it is just mommies)! I am excited about it! I have just been feeling so "shut in," bored and lonely. No longer!

Diaper Cake - Halloween Style

I just had to share because it turned out so cute! We had a mini-baby shower for my sister-in-law Brienna at Bunco last night. And, since it was October, I was hosting at my house this month and I'm obsessed with all things Halloween, I thought we'd theme it up a little. Here's the - adorable - end result.



Thanks Alysha for the tutorial awhile back. I'm so excited at how easy and fun these are!

Adult Onset Acne! HELP!

Hey ladies...I need some help!  All of a sudden my face has exploded into a zit party where every zit in the world was invited!  Its TERRIBLE and strangely enough worse then I ever had on my face as a teenager.  Soooooo, in an attempt to save a little money I opted to try PROACTIVE SOLUTION instead of seeing a Dermatologist.  It seems to be working and my zits are drying up BUT, my skin is sooooooooooooo dry!  I'm using the Proactive moisturizers but its not giving my skin what it needs since I started with really dry skin to begin with.  I know at least a few of you out there have used Proactive so any tips to help with the dry skin would be appreciated!

YearBook Yourself

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while (well, I am easily amused). You can use your own "face" and put it with a bunch of hairstyles from 1950 to the year 2000. I had tons of fun playing with it. I even tried to see what I'd look like as a guy! haha! Too funny. Try it for yourself!
