Clifford...

Almost a month ago our little man had to have surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. I was worried about him, mostly worried about after the surgery how bad his pain would be. I knew he was in good hands before he went back for the surgery, the two nurses both came in a joked with him. They kept him upbeat and happy, and then the doctor prayed over him before they took him back. He was so relaxed and happy when they took him back that he did not cry at all. I knew God was in control and would see him through it.

After surgery I went back to the recovery area and what did I find? Clifford the Big Red Doctor! The nurse had too much time on his hands, and decided he would dress up Clifford. It was great because till this day, Chan still loves how Clifford is dressed and will not offer to remove the doctor attire.

He did so well after surgery that you would have never known anything had happened. The doctor told us we would have to stay overnight, but that wasn't the case. He did so well he let us go home that afternoon, and Chan actually got upset with the fact we would not let him eat "real" food. I am so happy things went well for him. Most of all I am glad that we no longer have a snoring little boy, so he is able to sleep better and breathe through his nose like he should.

This picture was taken just a few hours after surgery, as you can see him and dad enjoyed some drawing time. ;o)

Supernatural: The Anime Series DVD/ Blu-Ray

"In order for the creators of the show to develop a new animated world, some characters had to go through a makeover to fit the feel of the new environments."

If I could makeover myself in order to explore new situations, I believe I would go back in time. In time to the early 1900's, I would want to go back to when my grandmother grew up and even my father in the early 1940's. Just so I could experience those times, growing up on a farm. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on a farm, but it still wasn't the same as when they grew up. My father worked outside the home to take care of us, the difference is that my grandfather did not.

Everything my grandmother and grandfather did was farm, they raised 10 children on this farm. The kids walked over a mile to school, and when they where not in school they where home farming. My father the baby of the 10 did not even see a colored t.v. until he was almost 10 years old. Even when he met my mother they still used an out house. Today I can hear my old son say "Mom what's an out house." I feel that I lived a simple life growing up, and still do. However I know back then they faced more challenges than we do today, even though we think times are hard now, but it was the real simple life.

DaGeDar Review

What? How do you even pronounce that? DaGeDar (DAH-geh-DAAR). That was the comment from my oldest son when the package arrived in the mail.





Both boys waited as I opened the box to see what was inside. The boys wanted to dig right in and play.


Lets just say they were a hit! The kids played with them and I know this will be at the top of all the boys Christmas list this year. One of the things I found that was great as a mom, was that non of the DaGeDar items required batteries. When I am looking for a toy now days, I watch for non battery operated items most of the time. Also, the balls are great for trading, they can meet up with friends and trade them like cards.
































It was great to see all the boys taking turns to see who could get their ball to land just right in the bowl.




Disclosure: I did receive DaGeDar balls, track & accessories from Mom Select. The opinions in this post are my own, and I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post. I was asked by the parents of the other attending boys to not take pictures, which I will always gladly do. :)

Blue Bunny Ice Cream Review & Giveaway! (Ends 8/5)

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Did you know the month of July is National Ice Cream Month? I didn’t, of course I am so busy now days if I was told that I am sure it went in one ear and out the other. ;0)

I was recently given the opportunity to review a few new products from Blue Bunny, and they couldn’t have come at a better time. Our little man, who turns three tomorrow just had surgery last week to remove his tonsils and adenoids. We all know what that meant for him, loads of ice cream, Jell-O, and anything soft I could get down him.

We were sent the Champ! Mini Swirls Vanilla Ice Cream Cones, Mini Variety Ice Cream Sandwiches, and the Champ! Mini Swirls Birthday Party Ice Cream Cones. These are the perfect size for our little man, as they fit just right in his hands. I think they will come in great for the perfect treat for his little friends at Daycare too.

I do have to say that when I am on the ice cream isle at the store, I do not really have a certain brand that I get, but I had really never purchased or ate Blue Bunny Ice Cream. Now that we have tried these, we have fallen in love with them and we will be buying Blue Bunny Ice Cream.

WIN! One lucky Cin’s Out Numbered and Loving It reader will receive Bunny Bucks, a coupon for purchase of one Blue Bunny packaged ice cream or frozen novelty! To enter tell me a Blue bunny product you'd love to get your hands on this summer season.

Supernatural: The Anime Series DVD/ Blu-Ray

"The creators of Supernatural were able to construct an animated world in which there were no boundaries. This new look into Supernatural brings new perspective to the show. From adding color, intensity and action to scenes, to vivid images of horrifying demons, the medium does not disappoint."

As life unfolds before us, way too often take things for granted. It wasn’t until almost two months ago that something major happened to me. What happened shook my core; it made me really look at life in a new prospective. I think often people go about life way to fast; they don’t take a moment to stop and smell the roses until it’s too late. Or until something happens that makes them wake up and see things in a new light.

If my life was developed into a story, I would want it to be told on film. Yes, animation is very cool, as it has no boundaries. In an animation there is always room to come up with new ideas and even new characters. With my life it’s real and that is how I would want it shown on film.
