Boba Giveaway

I know its been a while since I have made a post. I just cant seem to think of anything interesting to say. Usually my posts are simply about products that I have found and are being given away in a contest. My new obsession is this fabulous Boba carrier. Im thinking that Stryder needs one of these for his birthday. They are doing a giveaway for one of these. Here is the link...

Teether Giveaway

Hi all!

Its been a while. I need to make this blog more of a priority. I read so many other blogs and they are fabulous about sharing the events of the family's. I as of lately have only been using my blog for selfish reasons- to gain more entries into giveaways.For now that will have to do. I came across this blog on facebook and I had to share.

Princess Poopy Pants

Potty Training sucks. I'm calling it training as opposed to potty learning like I was at first because Karlynn knows how to potty. She was using the potty like a champ except for poops before Stryder was born. Now, I cant get her to use it to save my life. She doesn't care. Yesterday she pooped while napping (which happens frequently) and that is fine. It was huge so we thought she was done. We are now going pull-up free during the day at home because I really want her peeing on the potty again at least. So she is running around bare booty with her dress up on and she comes into the family room and says she needs to potty. This while I'm feeding Stryder so I ask Wynter to take her. She sits there until I'm done with Stryder and I go in to check on her. She is picking at her hands. I ask her, "Whats all over your hands?" She says,"poo poo." I ask her how she got the poo poop on her hands and she says, "From my butt." Then I find poop on the seat; poop on the toilet paper roll; and poop on the floor. The she grabs my legs and gets poop all over my pants. Oh and poop on the dress up.

When will this child decide that she wants to poop on the potty? Preschool starts on Sept. 8th. I have to pay my first month tuition by the end of July. Kris does not want me to pay it if she is not going to be able to go. I'm hoping that I can get her 90% potty trained and send her to school anyway. Wynter just barely made it to school with her potty training and she was younger than Karlynn. Then again, Wynter didn't regress due to a sibling being born.

So, if you have any tips or tricks please let me know. I'm desperate at this point. I feel we have tried everything.

The Weight Loss Begins

I went to the gym today. It kicked my butt. Clearly a 7 week postpartum body is not meant to jump into step and sculpt full force for an hour. I feel like jello but it feels wonderful. I loved being pregnant. I loved my body and I loved eating what every I felt like. Now that it's all over, I am so uncomfortable in this hanging flab of a stomach. I hope that I can get this weight off sooner than later. My mom butt is in full effect and I really would prefer to have a Dancing with the Stars body. I think I will print out all their pictures and stick them all over my fridge and the junk food. My friend use to do this in HS. That way when I go to grab the cookies, I have to first look at Edita's body. Maybe it will make me think twice. Baby steps right?

So, now the process must begin. I can not eat the cookies or the giant Costco cupcake with the serving size of 1/4 a cupcake (BTW, I ate the whole cupcake this afternoon). I need to hop on board the weight loss train. I think I will buy a scale on Friday. I have never been a fan of them but I will never know if I'm making progress if I don't buy one. I also need to stock pile the house with healthy food. I will set myself up for success.
