***Remember that I generally just price match at Walmart as much as I can rather than go to all the stores separately! I LOVE being able to do that. You can also pricematch at Target, but I find it easier to pricematch at Walmart.

On Monday, I told you about funny named baby products that I love. I included a picture of my baby in his "Mamaroo". Well, I realized that many of you don't know what a "Bumbo" is so I thought I would show you some pictures of my baby in his:


My little (or not so little) guy, as big as he is is actually still not quite 5 months old, and he is NOT sitting on his own yet. The "Bumbo" is a seat that helps non sitters sit up so you can do things like feed them! SWEET!

Hey there-

Did you know Downy is giving away 2 million samples of new Downy UNSTOPABLES?! Well, they are, so head over to their Facebook page, like them then click on the Unstopables link on the left side them fill out their firm to request yiour sample.

I was just thinking about the products I use on a regular basis for my baby and it struck me how funny the names all are: a "binky", a "Blabla", a "Bumbo" and of course my "Mamaroo".
It just strikes me as funny...what other funny baby product names am I missing here?

Right now you can request a coupon for a free cup of Dannon Oikos yogurt. Just go here to request your coupon. (It will be emailed to you I believe)

I know I have mentioned before how much I love Carmex. And I am so happy to be a member of the Carmex Blog Squad because it means I get to try out and giveaway a lot of different Carmex products!

Most recently I was sent a Carmex Picnic Pack to try out that includes:

• 1 Carmex Lime twist lip balm
• 1 Carmex Vanilla twist lip balm
• 1 Carmex blanket (that folds up nicely and has an easy carry handle-perfect for all the kids sports games!)
• 1 Carmex Moisture Plus® clear satin gloss finish

What did we think?

Well, I am a Vanilla girl, so I was very excited to try the vanilla lip balm...I liked it, but was surprised to find that I liked the Lime even better!! And the satin finish moisture plus is fantastic as well. But the added bonus to it all is the blanket! It is fantastic!! It has a soft side to sit on and the other side is like a tarp that won't get all wet on damp grass. Check it out:

And I LOVE that the blanket folds up nice and neat to make it easy to bring along wherever (see picture at top for what it looks like folded up). We keep my blanket in the back of my van for all the sports practices and games we go to-it has been a lifesaver!!

What could you win?

You can win the same Carmex Picnic Pack I received (children not included-just the 2 carmex lip products and the blanket!)  :) :

Have you noticed the posts have been a bit sparse lately? Have you wondered what was going on? I wish I could give you a responsible answer like that I have been doing lots of great charity work in a third world country, or that I have been working on a big project that will blow you all away...but the truth is that a giant mouse has taken over my life, or more accurately, my brain!
My husband and I use pretty much all his vacation time to go see our families in Utah because we love them and miss them and want to see them. Also, when we visit them, it is not too expensive because they feed and shelter us while we are there. What this means though is that we have not taken a real family vacation really ever. You know the kind of vaca I mean-the kind where we pick a destination and I act like a grown up and start finding the best deals to make it happen. The kind where we plan and pick out a perfect place and make it a dream vacation that all 7 of our family members will enjoy, and were we do not rely on the kindness of our families to support us while there...

Can I back up a bit and tell you something about me...I am a Disney FREAK! We went to Disneyland often when I was growing up and I loved it. I had never been to Disney World though. When my husband chose a destination to take me for our honeymoon, I was delighted to hear we were going to Orlando, assuming it meant we were going to DW. He had no intentions of going there, but when he realized my excitement over Disney, he arranged to have one of the days at DW. I chose the park (Magic Kingdom as it was most like Disneyland). We went for a day and I loved it.

That was my only time at DW.

In April of 2008 I wrote a bucket list of what I want to do before I die. Number 25 was travel a lot, and number 42 was Go to Disney World with my whole family. This is a two part goal-I want to take my family I live with (me, Wes, the kids), and I would also like to have my whole family (mom, dad, sibs, their spouses and kids...) go someday.

This May was my 10th anniversary. Wes was working so we had a small celebration at home watching a movie while the kids slept. Wes wanted to do something big. So he is doing it, a few months later...

My birthday is coming up, and for my birthday, Wes took the week off and we are taking our 5 kids to DISNEY WORLD!! Since I found out and the planning commenced, I have thought of nothing but Disney...somehow we managed to get the kids started in school and in fall sports, but all I want to do is read about the WORLD and plan out the events of the trip...I may be obsessed, or addicted to Disney...I am not sure, but I am for sure excited and wanted to share with all of you my excitement!

Have you been to Disney World? Tell me something about it-your best tips or maybe your favorite ride? What are the MUST SEE shows and the MUST RIDE rides for a family there for the first time? Share your Disney fun with me and help my excitement build!! I promise I will blog still and eventually I will fold all that laundry over there...
