Been a while

 Hello hello! Hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while huh? So many new things have happened. Covid for one *sighs* anyway I'm going to try to post on here more but lifes been real busy. Well get into that later for now I wanted to tell you about a friend of mine. She's a struggling single mom of 5. 3 of those sweethearts are her nieces and nephew. She's been raising the since they were born. Well this year her has a tough one. Her father has recently been diagnosed with calciphylaxsis and lost his finger. He's already had other health issue such as chf,kidney failure,diabetes,leg amputee etc. He was needing a kidney transplant but there denied him because he now needs a heat transplant as well and they said he wouldn't make the surgery so there's nothing they can do except continue his dialysis which caused the calciphylaxsis (can you say overwhelming?) So I want to make her holiday a little brighter by helping out with a few gifts for the kids and he

DIY Lip Balm with my 3 year old

Image
A few weeks ago I saw a Crayola create your own shimmering lip balm kit at Walmart. I thought that would be something my daughter would love to do. Yesterday she found it and insisted on opening it. She was super excited and wanted to make her own lip gloss. She calls it lip gloss cause it's easier and more relevant.  This kit is for 6+ and m daughter is 3 but she's pretty mature for her age and either way i was helping her. After reading the instructions we got onto creating her first lip gloss. If you've read any of my blogs you'd know that my daughter is obsessed with color pink and anything sparkly. So naturally when I asked her what color/flavor she wanted to use for her first lip gloss she chose the cheery cherry flavor which is a nice hot pink color. The kit includes some shimmering liquid which she used very liberally lol. What I loved about this kit is that the little lip balm containers are like little balls. I like the round dome shapes. Too

Teething Advice

Hello all I decided to make a post about the tips and tricks I do to console my baby bear. I already made a post about my  teething 7 month old  but I wanted to elaborate. 1. Massaging gums. Like I've said before I like doing these as natural as possible especially for my babies. I also like saving money. So I like freezing wash cloths and using them to massage my baby's gums or letting them chew on. We all have washcloths right? 2. Gnawing on knuckles! Yes this free and natural teether is perfect for our little munchers. I let my son chew on my knuckles for a few minutes. He bites pretty hard so I don't do it for long but he enjoys it. Wash your hands before of course and after. Keep them germs away! 3.Teething feeders! They look like pacifiers but they're not. They're super cool cause they allow your baby to enjoy fresh fruit and veggies without them choking and the plastic nipple part massages the gum. How they work is you place a pi

Teething 7 month old

My beautiful 7 month old angel baby is teething. My babies teeth early. Off and on since 3 or 4 months old. It's such an awful time watching them suffer. All the tears in their eyes...ugh. Well with my daughter I was learning how to deal with it. I was 23 and she was my first baby. I just took my mom's advice which was to give pain medicine (acetaminophen if they're under 6 months ibuprofen after that). And what the doctor recommended, which was frozen teethers. But that wasn't working well for her. When your child is teething they're not themselves. They cry until they're sobbing and inconsolable sometimes. They get runny noses sometimes they get stuffy. It's even possible when their teeth cut (term for when their teeth come through) they can become swollen or bleed a little. It's all normal. You may see them shake their head from side to side, get a mild fever, put their finger in their ears scratching which they may cut themselves accidenta

French Toast

I'm a very simple gal. I like making sandwiches for picnics,walks to the park with my babies and just staying home cooking. Sure I like getting all dressed up and going out to the movies or shopping. Maybe a concert here or there. But generally speaking I enjoy the simple things in life. Like writing I love writing! Writing has always been for me. Music. Another great therapy. Listening to some great music that I thoroughly enjoy and that's resonates with me. Baking and cooking are also really great. I like trying new things. New foods, new recipes broadening my horizons one step at a time. It may sound silly but slowly that adds flavor to your life. So today I made some french toast. I love french toast! Ever since having my son 7 months ago and having some a the hospital i'm in love. It was my first real meal since they gave me dinner very later after I had him I just had whatever he hospital had left. But the breakfast for the next day I got to choose. Now I've

Technology

Technology is so amazing. Like it's really amazing. We can do so much with it it's so useful and helpful. Think about it. Like every day we use it whether it be Internet or our phones. Our Tv's are even cooler. Like we can use them as computer screens, make calls with them.  And it's only going to get better. Which seems so crazy cause like what else will we be able to do? We got 3D printers and smart cars. I means cars that literally drive themselves are happening. So why am I talking about this? Well yesterday evening my family and I were able to speak and meet family via video. We haven't been able to see because they live in Nicaragua. We hope to some day go and visit but it's difficult because of money, fear of flight (mostly just by me) and now with all the Civil war going on it wouldn't be the greatest time. But hopefully soon peace will ascend. God heals all. It was just a great experience to know that we could meet extended family or those we
