Amanda Love's to Save

Good day?

2011-08-26T16:00:00.022-05:00

No phone call from the teacher today. She left early today I was told so the sub was in there at nap time. I asked her how he did she said he did cry but she talked to him and got him to lay down she told him he didn't have to take a nap just sit there quietly while the other kids slept. She said after a few minutes he was out. Monday he will go everyday since this was the first week they only went every other day. I am worried bettween him crying at nap time and the complications with the pregnancy I don't know how to handle the stress.

Not off to a good start

2011-08-24T17:46:00.030-05:00

2nd day of prek and I'm already getting a call from the teacher. The regular teacher wasn't there Monday but she was today and while I wasn't told Monday but my son doesn't want to take a nap at school. She called me at 1:30 I was already about out the door to head there since they get out at 2:00. By the time I got there and walked to the class poor kid had cried himself to sleep. Teacher informed me that she can't deal with him if he is gonna cry. I tell her that he isn't used to going to sleep anywhere but his house because we never go anywhere and he is with me or his dad he has never been to a sitter. Not her problem this I know but I tried to pled his case.

School Time

2011-08-22T21:03:00.052-05:00

So my 4 yr old started prek today! I think I forgot to mention that my 2 older kids went back to school already. Thankfully they can ride the bus which picks them up right from our house! They go to differnet schools but ride the same bus. My oldest catches another bus at the elementary school that takes him to his school. Even though the prek is in the same school building they will not let them ride the bus until they get in kindergarten. That means I have to take him and pick him up but prek doesn't start until 8am and the older kids atart at 7:30am. He will get out at 2pm bigger kids get out at 3pm. This upsets my middle child since I'm going to be at the school but can't take her and pick her up. I don't like that she is upset but I really don't want to sit out in the car for 30 minutes in the morning and an hour in the afternoon with my 4 yr jumpin around like a caged animal. I did wait on her this afternoon cause I felt bad. That wasn't a good idea. I could feel contractions and I was hurting real bad. Made it home took the meds the doctor gave me to stop the contractions, drank 2 cups of water and laid down for an hour that seemed to help.

29 weeks pregnant

2011-08-18T20:41:00.018-05:00

I am now 29 weeks pregnant and trying to hang in there! I'm in more pain then not. I can barely stand even a breif walk to the restroom is painful. I have talked to the midwife and told her from now on I only want to see her because she is the only one that listens to me and I feel comfortable with her. She said that is fine and just tell the front desk everytime when I make my appointments I want her. She checked my cervix today by hand and said my water bag was hanging out to far!! I have already put myself on bedrest pretty much since it hurts to walk anyways. She said that's good do it as much as I can. She sent me to the hospital for a non stress test just to check for contractions. They hooked me up for 30 minutes only had 1 small contraction in that time so they sent me home. My 4 yr old starts preschool soon and I am the only one who can take him, not sure how this is going to work out. I just hope and pray the baby will be ok. I'm praying to keep her in at least until I'm 34 weeks I have had 2 at that gestation and while not ideal I know she has a better chance the longer she stays inside my belly.

Land O'Frost Wrap Kits Review

2011-08-14T12:12:00.003-05:00

Land O'Frost has came out with these tasty wrap kits. I was given the opportunity to try the Oven Roasted Turkey & Pepper Jack and Black Forest Ham & Swiss. Each kit contains 25 slices of Land O’Frost lunchmeat, five slices of cheese and five tortillas. Everything you need for a basic wrap in one package so convenient. Best thing is they a quick, easy and taste great! With 3 kids and another on the way I'm all about quick and easy! You can add anything you want to personalize your wrap. In my family we all have different taste. My husband added tomatoes and avocado to his. My daughter switched cheese because she likes Turkey but didn't care for the pepper jack so she used the swiss she also put ranch and lettuce on hers. I added lettuce and bacon to mine and popped it in the microwave for a lil bit to melt the cheese yummm. Both my sons just ate theirs plain. I did cut my toddlers wrap into the pinwheel shapes because it's cute and easier for him to eat.

These wraps came in handy durring all this hot weather we been having. I love not having to use the stove in hot weather. With school getting ready to start back I know these wraps will be on my shopping list for school lunch and after school snacks. Oh yeah I have a new helper in the kitchen. Thanks Land O'Frost!

I was given the Oven Roasted Turkey & Pepper Jack and Black Forest Ham & Swiss wrap kits by Land O'Frost free of charge to review. All opinions are my own.

update pregnancy 28 weeks

2011-08-11T15:01:00.000-05:00

Went back to doctor office the midwife wasn't there so seen a different doctor. He ask why I was there I told him of the contractions and last weeks visit and that I was told to come back today. He said he still didn't understand why I was there and he needed to go read my chart. 30 mins later he came back and asked why I haven't done the glucose test yet I said I did that last week! He said let me go see 10 mins later he says ok you passed that. He said I see they checked your cervix last week that looks good perfect size right where it should be. I said well the midwife said it was short he said no it looks good. Then he measured my belly and said I was measuring big. I asked what that means and he said just something we need to keep an eye on. He said I don't see any problems with anything so just come back in 2 weeks. This is why I want to see just 1 person so I don't have 5 different people telling me 5 different things! It's so frustrating!

Pregnancy 28 weeks

2011-08-04T14:52:00.001-05:00

Went to doctors office done my gluclose test and passed yay! Told the midwife I was still have pain so she did the ultrasound on my cervix and said it looked short. I ask what that ment just said they like it to be longer. My blood pressure was kind of high she said. So she sent me home with a jug to do a 24 hr urine test to see if there was protien in mine. She sent me to OB department at hospital to get monitored for contractions. They only hooked me up for 30 mins no contractions in that time frame. She told me to come back in 1 week.

Pregnancy update 27 weeks

2011-07-31T04:00:00.001-05:00

Well the past week has been so uncomfortable!! I made a trip to the ER last week to see what was going on but all that has done is make me worry. I was having some contractions but the nurse thought I might be dehydrated so I was sent home and told to aim for 64 ozs of non-decaffeinated drinks a day. I am trying to do this and I have been living in the bathroom lol! I am have pain on and off but mostly just uncomfortable. I have called my doctor's office and told them but they want me to just try to take it easy which I am and they will see me Aug. 4th. This is my 4th baby and I have never made it to 40 weeks my first was 6 weeks early and spent 2 months in NICU. Thank God he is healthy today but I do NOT want another baby to go through that! My 2nd baby was 3 weeks early but she was born healthy, and my 3rd baby was between 4-6 weeks early the doctor's argued over how early they thought he was because he weighed almost 6lbs he had to stay a few extra days in the hospital because his oxygen level was low. So I have never had any problems this early and it is really stressing me which I know can make matters worse. I just want the doctor to understand and take my concerns seriously. I would feel better if they check my cervix to make sure I haven't dilated maybe that would ease my mind somewhat.

2011-07-18T12:49:00.010-05:00

My son love's animals! He would enjoy going to the zoo everyday if we could. When I got the opportunity to review a cd about animals I knew he would be excited. This cd is about endangered animals and it's a great fun way to get started talking about how we can help endangered animals. Extinction for extinction is one of the songs on the cd and it's a good motto. I think the the only thing cuter would have been to have videos for the songs.

DIY Wannabe

2011-07-15T05:30:00.004-05:00

As if I didn't have enough on my plate I took on making over the ugly half bath in my bedroom! I thought it would be easy I mean I watch all those HGTV shows and I have the internet so smooth sailing right? WRONG! To start let me tell you the top half of the walls were wallpapered but seeing how I've seen wallpaper removed on tv I still thought it would be easy. So off to the store to get wallpaper remover spray. Come home get straight to work. some wallpaper comes off along with the top layer of drywall!! So I thought I won't use the spray I will just rip it off yeah right! That left me with the fuzzy backing now I'm lost cause I can only get this mess off when I wet it but doing that again more drywall coming off! I read online that if you take off the top layer of drywall all you need to do is mud it, sand it and prime it and then you're good to go. It's just so much more added work. I will let you know how that turns out. Who knew such a small bathroom would be this big of a headache!

Another update

2011-07-07T05:12:00.000-05:00

Hey everyone! I been feeling alot better. Except I can't ever sleep! Had another doctor visit today everything seems good. She said they might give me another ultrasound at my next visit just to get a peek to make sure everything looks like it should. She said they can check my cervix to make sure it is the size it is suppossed to be. She said sometimes they can tell by looking at it if women might go into labor early. Sounds like something I want to do just so I can relax a little about it. Problem is I don't which doctor I will see next time and if they agree with her that I need an ultrasound.

Pregnancy update

2011-06-22T11:56:00.001-05:00

Went to the doctor today because I been having cramp feeling in my belly. He doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. I hope he is right! I have never carried to full term with any of my kids so I get really worried when I have alot of pain. Thankfully my children are healthy. I had my 2 boys both come 6 weeks early and my daughter was 3 weeks early. I thought I might be in the high risk category due to this but the doctors haven't said that. I go to a clinic where there are 4 different doctors and they take turns seeing me. I guess it has it's pros and cons but I like it better seeing the same doctor and knowing who will be delivering my baby. I live in a small area and don't want to travel to far for doctor visits on count of having my babies early so I feel limited with my choices.

Pregnancy Update

2011-06-09T16:12:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone, got to get an ultrasound today to see what I'm having! It's a GIRL! Now I will have 2 boys and 2 girls! I do feel blessed but alot has been weighing on my mind! My youngest as of now is almost 4 and not have been planning on getting pregnant again I gave away his baby bed and playpen. So we be starting over from scratch. I already been looking at things and they aren't cheap! Not that things were cheap when my other kids were babies but as you know the more kids you have the less money you have lol. My 4 year old will be going to preschool this year so I will have 3 kids to buy school stuff for and so on. They say if the Lord brings you to it he will get you through it so I'm trying to stay on the bright side of things!

Review: Barbie A Fashion Fairytale DVD

2010-09-16T14:10:00.004-05:00

I was recently given the opportunity to review Barbie A Fashion Fairytale dvd with my daughter. Barbie was a favorite of mine when I was a little girl I had tons of them. I am so excited that my daughter also enjoys Barbie. Barbie is something I can relate to her with. Since school has started things around here have been busy so it's been hard to get some down time. This dvd gave us the chance to sit down and hang out together and have some fun. This movie stars Barie as herself. Barbie is feeling down after getting fired and thinking everyone is against her so she goes to Pairs to visit her aunt. When she gets there she learns her Aunt's design house is closing down! Barbie wants to help her Aunt save the design house so she helps design a whole new line of clothing. Along the way she discovers magical Flairies that help her. I don't want to post to much info as to ruin it for you lol. In my opinion this dvd is about doing what's right. I think all girls will love this movie and it has some teaching moments to maybe help girls leatn to overcome some situations. Like how when Barbie got fired and thought Ken broke up with her she didn't sit around feeling sorry for herself. Barbie a Fashion Fairytale is now out at stores if you're interested in buying it for your princess!

Don't Drink Junk, Drink WAT-AAH! Review of Wat-aah

2010-06-03T15:17:00.006-05:00

I told my kids a few weeks ago that we would no longer be buying sodas to keep in the house. That were not happy to say the least! I got the usual moans and groans and the first few days were tough I admit but I'm doing this to help them and myself to be healthier! We tend to drink alot of junk! Sugary juices, sodas, and more.
WAT-AAH! is pure just one ingredient WAT-AAH! it's a purified water that was founded in 2008 by Rose Cameron, and her son Jack. She wanted to know why it was that children refused to drink water. And better yet, what could be done to change that.
Their mission: To reverse the dependency on sugary drinks among America's children and to make the WAT-AAH! Boy the symbol of healthy hydration and to fight against the greatest threat of our children's lives--Obesity.
"The soda bubble is bust. Kids know it, their moms know it, but so do the soda manufacturers," says WAT-AAH!'s CEO and founder Rose Cameron. "That's why they have launched an overwhelming number of so-called 'healthy alternatives,' such as juice based drinks or enhanced water beverages. But the truth is that these 'healthy alternatives' often have as much (and sometimes more) sugar than the sodas they are meant to replace." Cameron continues, "water is the true alternative to soda, but up until now kids have found it boring and preachy. Not anymore. WAT-AAH!, 100% sugar free, ultra pure water, convinces kids that drinking water is far from boring!"

WAT-AAH! is available in four varieties:

Zarbee's Children's Cough Syrup Review

2010-04-15T15:15:00.004-05:00

I had the opportunity to try Zarbee's Children's Cough Syrup. This a safe all natural cough syrup that is Pediatrician developed. I wanted to try this because my toddler had a bad cough for a week and now you can't really find any over the counter meds that are recommended for children under 6 years old. Well Zarbee's is recommended for children 12 months and older! I had taken my toddler to the doctor and was told just wait it out a week or two and he will be over it. I can understand not prescribing anything but when your child is up all night coughing so bad he can't get any sleep which keeps you from getting sleep you just feel like you have to do something! I'm not going to lie my toddler hates to take medicine! I mean he fights me every step of the way! This time was no different except it worked! I mean after I finnaly got him to swallow it the coughing stopped! We actually got some sleep! And I felt good about giving it to him. I am going to let my doctor know about Zarbee's Cough Syrup so the next time a parent comes in with a child that is up all night with a bad cough maybe she will recommend Zarbees. I also gave Zarbee's to my older son when he said his throat was scratchy, as Zarbees also soothes sore throats. While he didn't say it was the best tasting stuff he did say it worked and made his throat feel better!

I was sent a sample of Zarbee's Cough Syrup to review in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not paid for the review.

As a mom of a toddler I have a hard time getting him to stay still long enough for me to brush his teeth the way I should. I have been worrying about it alot. What is a mom to do though? Well I may have found a great little helper! It's called Evora Kids and it's a small chewable tablet aimed at 3-10 year olds that helps support tooth health. It's also 100% natural so that means NO artificial sweeteners,colors or flavors. EvoraKids includes Oragenics patent pending ProBiora3 technology, which has been specifically formulated for children to help maintain healthy teeth, their biggest oral care problem. Basically EvoraKids reaches where toothbrushes and floss can’t, into the crevices on the chewing surfaces of teeth. It comes in Wild Very Cherry Berry flavor. Which my toddler said was mmm tasty!

EvoraKids.com
The team from EvoraKids has also let me pick one reader via random.org to win one box of EvoraKids Oral Care Tablets to try!!!

Ragu Recipe for a Good Start

2010-03-10T13:12:00.003-06:00

As Moms, we all have our own recipes for giving our kids the best possible childhood and a great start in life. Whether those ingredients include encouraging our kids to try their hardest or promoting their imagination and creativity, our hope is that our children will grow up to be happy and well-adjusted adults. Family time is an undoubtedly important part of that recipe, and making sure the family sits together at the dinner table at least once a week is a great, but challenging way to fit it in.

Ragú offers moms hundreds of nutritious, convenient, delicious and affordable meal ideas- perfect for busy families on the go. From making sure the kids get their veggies (Ragú® red sauces contain more than a full serving of veggies in every half cup of sauce) to skip-a-step recipes like No Boiling Lasagna and No Frying Chicken Parmesan, Ragú® understands your hectic lifestyle and desire to feed your family quality meals at a great value.

Now, Ragú® is teaming up with actress and mom Molly Ringwald to promote the Recipe for a Good Start asking moms to share their recipes for a good start for a chance to win a $5,000 college scholarship. By visiting www.recipeforagoodstart.com, you’ll have a chance to submit your recipe for a good start in life and your original Ragú® recipe that has the family running to the dinner table! Three first prize winners will be awarded a family trip to New York City where they will compete in a nationally televised Ragú® Recipe Challenge for the chance to win the ultimate prize of a $5,000 college scholarship.

Disclosure: I was entered for a chance to win a Ragú® family package in exchange for this post. No monetary exchange took place.

Healthier General Mills Cereal!

2010-01-20T12:17:00.005-06:00

General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain. As a mom of 3 kids this is great news to me!

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets.
Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today.
More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures. Now I don't feel so bad about not having time to cook a full course breakfast every morning!
Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

This information was given to me from General Mills through Myblogspark they also sent me coupons so my family could try the cereal for FREE!

Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals.

Thanks to Myblogspark & General Mills for providing me with FREE cereal to help our family come together at the breakfast table every morning.

Five For Fighting New CD "Slice"

2009-10-08T14:52:00.004-05:00

Five for Fight is back and have a new cd coming out October 12th!
Fall is a great time to update your personal playlist and the new Five For Fighting album should definitely grab a spot on your list.
Singer/songwriter John Ondrasik has spent the past decade writing deeply personal songs that include social messages, invoke the human spirit and make an emotional connection. Five For Fighting’s breakthrough came in 2001 with the Grammy Nominated song “Superman”, from the Platinum certified “America Town”. On the 2004 release, “The Battle For Everything”, the song “100 Years” followed in the footsteps of “Superman” as yet another inspiring reflective song. I loved both these songs so when One2One Network offered me the chance to review the new cd I jumped with joy! While I enjoyed every song on the track my fav is "Chances". Here is a list of all the songs on the album:
1. Slice
2. Note To The Unknown Soldier
3. Tuesday
4. Chances
5. This Dance
6. Above The Timberline
7. Transfer
8. Hope
9. Story Of Your Life
10. Love Can't Change The Weather
11. Augie Nieto

Did you know…
In Feb 2007 John launched a charity driven website –whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com that raises money for various charities when users view video clips provided by visitors to the site. Current views are over 3 million with approx. $300,000 donated!
John is a dedicated supporter of US Troops, performing for US Forces at Guantanamo Bay, Hawaii, Guam & Japan on USO tours. John composed songs for movies “August Rush”, “The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants”, “We Were Soldiers”, “Chicken Little” & “Everyone’s Hero". John loves sports and writing and not just songs! He wrote a regular hockey column for SportsIllustrated from 2005-2007. I think it's cool how involved he is with helping the troops.
John will be hitting the road in October with An Acoustic Evening with Five For Fighting. The songs are great on record, even better live! Definitely a show worth seeing! To find out about how to get tickets in a market near you, go to his site. Also find him on

Dollar General Ad

2009-08-02T22:32:00.002-05:00

Just wanted to say that I got the Dollar General ad today and there are some pretty good sales that can be awesome if you have the manufacter coupons. I see Dove body wash 8.45oz for $2.50, Axe shower gel $2.50 (my teen loves Axe products), Lysol Dual action wipes with bonus tub so 2 tubs for $2.50, I know there were Lysol coupons floating around for $1.00 so that would be $1.50 for 2 tubs! Also Snuggle is $2.50 for 60 ozs! I don't know if this is for all scents cause it only shows Green Burst. Also if you have the ad you can get items price matched at Walmart if you happen to have internet printed coupons since Dollar General doesn't take them Walmart usually has no problem with them. This will help out on the Axe body wash since I have a $1.50 of internet coupon I can use at Walmart to make it $1.00!!! You can copy and paste this link to see if you can print the Axe coupon as well. When you get to the site just browse the pages till you find the Axe one. They have lots of other coupons also.
Thanks to HCW for the link.

New Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant

2009-04-30T23:02:00.007-05:00

I got this free in the mail today. It's a full size sample with 50 $2.00 coupons!

This new Dove deodorant minimizes the look and feel of underarm hair over time. It makes stubble easier to deal with by reducing the prickly feeling between shaves and within weeks of regular use hair feels softer and easier to remove for a closer shave. This is something I sure can use with 3 kids I barely have time to get in the shower much less shave everytime I should lol. It has all the benefits of regular Dove with 24 hour wetness protection, helps conditions skin, and doesn't leave white marks. This is probably going to be my favorite deodorant! It comes in two fragrances Wild Rose and this one I'm reviewing Nature Fresh. You can learn more on their website http://www.dove.com/visiblysmooth

2009-03-29T00:28:00.003-05:00

I bought Soaftsoap body wash because it was buy 1 get coupon for free 1. I got the coupon for the free 1 and it gave me another coupon for another free one so I got it and it printed another coupon for a free 1 so I went and got another and it printed another coupon! The cashier and me by that point were thinking the machine was messed up so I didn't use the last one figured I'd wait until my next trip. Of course by then the kink was fixed lol and no coupon this time. But hey 4 for the price of 1 not a bad deal.

Great deal on Bolt DVD

2009-03-25T13:18:00.001-05:00

My daughter's birthday is soon and she wants the Bolt DVD and I got a $5 off MFQ that I printed off from a Disney site. I go to Walmart and they refuse to take my coupon because it's printed from the internet! So I figure I'm not going to buy the movie because $20 bucks for it is to much to me. Well later that day I'm at Walgreens of course lol trying to figure out the best way to use a $10 RR that is about to expire. I'm browsing through the aisles and nothing jumps out and then I see an in ad coupon for $3 off the Bolt DVD! I got all excited because I know Walgreens will let you stack their coupons with MFQs so that would be $8 off! Of course it's a little higher then Walmart it was $22 but I only ended up paying $7.50! I had to throw in a small filler to use the MFQ and my $10 RR so I got some plastic spoons for 0.25cts. Bolt DVD-$22.99 spoons-0.25cts + $2.27tax =$23.24 - $3 in ad coupon - $5 MFQ - $10RR= $7.51!
