Smart Mom Teething Bling Review and Give Away and my 100th post~Closed~

I was given the opportunity recently to review "Teething Bling" by Smart Mom. it could not of happened at a better time. Aiden is teething something ferocious and is wanting to put everything in his mouth, I had to recently take off my necklace and my bracelets due to the fact that he felt he was entitled to eat it..

Well Smart Mom is very clever and has stylish jewelry that is practical and safe for your little ones mouth.





From the Website

Teething Bling® was inspired by babies who like to tug on our jewelry.
We use only the highest-quality, phthalate-free, federally approved silicone in our Teething Bling™ line. The material is non-toxic, latex-free, food–safe, even dishwasher-friendly! It is the same silicone used in many other popular teething products and SGS test reports are available upon request. Although we stress that this is adult jewelry not intended for children to wear, all of our pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety feature.


We were given a Turquoise Bangle . Speckled Turquoise-colored bangle is one-size-fits-all.

He seriously loves loves loves this bangle. It is great, I simply make sure that I am wearing this bangle anytime I leave the house with Aiden, then it is right there to keep him busy. I think that it is fantastic that it can go in the dishwasher (top rack) to be cleaned..



The only thing about sharing this bangle with Aiden is that I hardly have a chance to have it on. I will definitely be purchasing the pendant which comes in either the donut shape or heart, as well as a variety of solid colour and patterns.

H1N1




On Monday Morning I had a regular appointment with our family Dr. For Aiden's check up and Jacob Eczema.. She asked if we were getting our vaccines this week for the H1N1. This was the first week for Vaccines in PEI and the following list is who is available for the first round of vaccines.

Week of October 26th

  • Health care Workers
  • Household contacts of children less than six months
  • Children six months of age up to school entry
  • People with chronic conditions (under the age of 65)
  • Household contacts and care providers of people who are immune compromised
  • First Nations and Aboriginal Population
I told our family Doctor that I was on the fence regarding the vaccination, I was hearing both negative and positive things regarding the H1N1 Vaccine. I had a lot of Questions and she was super great and answered every single one.

On Wensday Jacob and I went and had our vaccines done, Seamus will get his through school on Nov 3, and Scott is just getting home today from being in LasVegas and he will go an get his vaccine the first of next week. I feel really comfortable with the decision we made for our family.

My advice to anyone trying to decide what to do..to get the H1N1 vaccine or not is get all the information ask questions if you are unsure. Only you can make the right decision for your family.

For information on H1N1 in Prince Edward Island please visit this website http://www.gov.pe.ca/flu/

Seamus Grade One School Picture 2008-09



After uploading Seamus grade two school picture proof for this year I scanned his grade one school picture .












Pumpkins, SuperHeros, Brothers and a Cruise Ship~

Seamus and Jacob, Seamus is now in the stage of the awkward fake smile... Whats a mom to do.. You will often here me say Don't smile!! I miss the big grins he once would give...
Seriously this pumpkin weighed in at 641 pounds..whoa!!

My SUPER HEROS Seamus & Jacob, Faster than the speed of light boys!!!!


Seamus and Jacob, Aiden was snoozing and with all this teething business that we are going through with him... I live by the philosophy Do not wake a sleeping baby..even if it is the perfect opportunity for a photo with all three boys... I was not about to wake the guy..what a fierce couple of days...




Down to the waterfront to see the cruise ship that was in port and was getting ready to leave..
Now the boys are all tucked in to bed..in the big bed tonight.. daddy is off to vegas today till Thursday, when he is away I tuck the boys in with me, I like to have them all close when we are here without Scott..
Also today was a crazy day as soon as I got home from dropping Scott off at the Airport, I come home to find Ashton Vomitting he was pretty sick , once I got him cleaned up and settled down, I went to the basement to put his bedclothes in the wash to find our basement Flooded......and to top it all of the truck is acting wonky and I have to bring it to the dealership in the Am to have the mechanic look at it. I was never so grateful for the Shop Vac my husband gave to me for my birthday last year. I was not happy at the time mind you. but very grateful today.
Also lexi has been giving me a lot of attitude lately and especially today I am trying to deal with that situation in a positive way.. but I will leave that for another post

Nuby Nibbler Review & Give Away



The Nibbler .. I was given this neat item from a friend of mine after Aid en was born, a month earlier and I had been asking her all sorts of questions about her sons Nuby Nibbler. She was able to give her son then 7 months fresh fruits with out the worry of him chocking on small bits. I recently had the opportunity to try out The Nibbler. My son Aiden has been teething something fierce, and I was wanting to give him something cool to chew on...Then I remembered that I had this Nibbler and I went to the freezer and removed one of the frozen pear puree cubes that i had prepared for him and put the cube into the mesh net and secured it to the handle I was able to give him something to sooth him, and a nice tasty treat as well.. It is also so super easy to clean dishwasher safe on the top rack. This Nibbler is going to get lots of use in this house.

Also the hats are priced very well, they are listed t $8.50,So head on over to Sally Powell and order your own.

Aiden sporting his Bear Hat, we are getting tons of compliments when we are out and about!



Long Day

My day started really really early, I had to take my husband to the airport, let me rephrase that I wanted to take my husband to the airport, I didn't want him to take a cab..mainly because we live in a rural area and to take a cab to the airport would cost close to $40 and I am way to frugal.. So I get up and I drive him!!! Scott is off to Quebec City till Thursday, and then he is home till Sunday and then flying to Las Vegas.. Work Work Work... I really miss him when he is gone, he does travel quite a bit..

So with Scott away today I thought that it would be a great day to visit a close Friend of mine and her two boys today.. Her youngest is only 2 months old.. so it was a great opportunity to bring her all the clothing Aiden has outgrown. I always pass things along, mind you there are a few pieces that I can not bear to part with!!

It was great to get out and visit and catch up.. we are always saying how great it is to have a friend who does not mind talking about baby poop..

On the way home I stopped by a community park and Jacob ran around and played on the play yard. He was so determined to climb this rock wall..

Up Up Up Up.....
Higher, Higher, Higher......

Almost there, I can see the horizon.....



Look Mommy!! I told you I could do it!
Yes You Can you determined little boy!
