Things I LOVE This Month: June/July 2010

Ok....you can totally call me a slacker for smacking the months together! However, please have mercy on me, as Summer is CRAZYYYYYYYYY! So here are my key finds for this start of Summer!

*Did you ever wonder how to de-lump your behind? You know that hot sexy foccacia bread look that the blessing of uber amounts of cellulite gives you? Well my sister told me she saw this product on the Today show, and used it for a few weeks. She said that this "de-lump your azzzzz" cream worked wonders. So of course I gave it a whirl. I must say my arse looks less foccacia like! Don't worry I will not provide before and after pics, wouldn't want you to lose your lunch now!
St. Ives Cellulite Shield Advanced Body Moisturizer 18 fl oz (532 ml)
GO AHEAD AND RUB IT IN! YOUR BUTT WILL THANK YOU LATER!!!!!!!!


*My sister also gave me heads up on this next product that she saw on the same Today show episode! This just reminds me of Summer. I love love love Summer scents! It is perfect for putting ontop of my the de-lump azzzzzzzzzzzz cream!

*I have searched high and low for a good sippy cup. I got pulled into the Nuby's since it was the hip happening one when Ry was little, but they leak everywhere! (and not just little drips--gushes!). On a whim I tried MUNCHKIN TRAINING CUPS! They are AMAZING and I will never use another brand!
Munchkin Mighty Grip Trainer Cup 2-Pack, 8 oz, Colors Vary
*I was reading a blog about bento box lunches and began to get inspired. I have since tried one out with Rylan, who noticeable ate more, and tried a few new things! In my search for things that make variety available, I purchased the Sassy Baby Mealtime On the Go Feeding Set!
Sassy Baby Mealtime On the Go Feeding Set, "Colors May Vary"
This is great! Not only can I use it for baby food items, I could also use it for my preschooler! It grows WITH the kid.

*This is an oldie but goodie! I fell in love with this item back in the day when Rylan was a toddler, and since traveling alot in the past few months, re-fell in love with it!

Summer Infant Tiny Diner Placemat

A must for any parent out there that has a child in a high chair, and eating finger foods! Perfect gift!

*After many weekends of searching for an affordable and reliable wooden swing set that would grow with the kids, we found CREATIVE PLAY THINGS! Not only did we get $500 off, they also through a ton of stuff in for free! Had free set up and delivery! AND....... my kids love it!
*After all of my party planning I have to give props to a few websites that helped me either design a theme, or give me great deals and service:

(I USED THEIR PRINTABLE INVITES AND THANK YOU'S! AND USED A LOT OF THEIR IDEAS)

(QUITE POSSIBLE THE BEST DOLLAR STORE EVER PLACED ON THIS EARTH! FANTASTIC FOR FAVORS AND PINATA FILLERS!)

(AWESOME PARTY SUPPLIES, FAVORS, AND SUCH AT A CHEAP PRICE AND A MIGHTY AMOUNT)

(CHEAP PINATA'S THAT FIT THEME FOR MUCH LESS THEN OTHER PLACES!)

A NOTE OF A WEBSITE I WASN'T HAPPY WITH: BIRTHDAY EXPRESS--a glitch in the system ordered more of what I didn't need and less of what I did. It was irritating!!!!!!!!

*I received so many compliments on this product! It was a lifesaver in the pool on vacation, and helped keep the baby safe from rays!

Swimways Baby Spring Float with Canopy a must have for a swimming mini one!

*Something we certainly needed with a fast crawling baby! KIDDIE GUARD RETRACTABLE GATE. Sort of a pain to set up, and get used to, but easy on the eyes when you want the gate to be missing and open! I also love how the mesh style has a give to it, and that the baby can't smash into hard plastic!
*MINI NILLA WAFERS has saved the day to many times when having two hungry kids. Perfect size for a 1 yr old, and holds the big yumminess of the bigger size cookie for the 4 year old.

*Every Summer I always find myself returning to CRYSTAL LIGHT! Great, refreshing taste, without the big guilt of other sugar filled summer drinks!
Crystal Light On The Go Raspberry Ice, 16, 3.5-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 5)



*Lastly, a product I was NOT FOND OF and wish I could return:
3-Gallon Beverage Dispenser with Cooling Cylinder
Looks cute and practical! Especially for two June HOT weather parties! However it barely kept the lemonade cold! I had to put ice in it and water it down eventhough it clearly states you shouldn't have to! Don't waste your money!
