Am I the only one?

I am 30 years old, have had 3 babies, all of which I have nursed {in fact I am STILL nursing Mini Cooper}, and am still wearing the same bras from when I was oh 25. When I turned 25 I stopped buying things for myself and started buying things for babies. I actually put bras on my Christmas list, and received money to buy them, but ended up spending the cash at the Gymboree clearance sale {baby clothes are much cuter then bras}.

So, when I heard about the Playtex Bra Makeover, I was instantly sold. Playtex is giving away 10 bra makeovers! You can go to Playtex Bra Makeover and nominate yourself or a friend. If chosen, the winner will be flown to New York to receive a Bra Makeover with style expert Alison Deyette. Deyette is a fashion and trend lifestyle expert who has been featured on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker and TLC's Ten Years Younger, as well as in print publications including Good Housekeeping, The Washington Post, and O Magazine. Apply for your chance to win a Playtex Bra Makeover today. The last day to apply is Friday, May 21st, 2010.

You cant win if you dont enter! Good Luck!!!

By posting this information, I am entered into a contest to win a free bra from Playtex. I did not receive any compensation for this post and thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

What Was in the Basket: For Mini Cooper

It was Mini Cooper's first Easter. I love dressing babies up in the beautiful Easter sets out there. This year, Mini and Mustang coordinated. I do wish I had gotten a picture together :( Here Mini is with her basket. You will notice a few 'extras' in there. My mom {AKA GrandBunny} added things to each of the kids' baskets. I really appreciated this and the kids loved the fun little things she found to make the day extra special.



From this bunny {me}, Mini received 4 empty plastic eggs to explore, which she really enjoyed,


2 plastic spoons to eat with, she missed the with part, a couple jars of baby food-including carrots



And a Tag Jr Orchestra ABC book. It works with a Tag Jr reading system, which we dont own. I got the book FREE by signing up for a learning track here. I noticed it says that the offer expires 3/1/10 or while supplies last, but it's still up on the system and lets you sign up for the book. Worth a try!

Total cost of this basket: 3.00, the spoons were 2/1.00 at the Dollar Tree, and the baby food was 50 cents a jar. The plastic eggs were from my stash. We also 'reuse' our baskets each year. I have the kids put them out like they would put out their stocking. They each had one except Charger. It keeps us from having tons of baskets laying around the house, and saves me money each Easter.

I hope you found a couple ideas for your kiddos! We are still enjoying these gifts, especially the books which will soon be added to the household library. God Bless!

Very Cool Freebie!

I signed up for a fun site called Homeschool Freebies Each day they have an E-Book that you can download for your personal use-for free! I thought today's freebie was super cool. It is called Everyday Number Stories, geared for 2-5th grades. It is a math book from 1915 and I really enjoy the way it is layed out. I think even Mustang (who is 4) will be able to do the first few pages. Check it out, it is only for one day.
