Proactiv® Acne Solution-I highly recommend it!
Luckily as a child and teenager I never had to deal with the battle of acne. It wasn't until after I had my daughter that I developed acne. I immediately went to a dermatologist and ever since then I use the Proactiv® Acne Solution every morning and every night.
My family, friends and I all highly recommend this product. It is so easy to use and my skin has never looked better. I know you all have seen a ton of commercials on this but I promise you it is legit and REALLY works!!!
I love their face mask and use it weekly, and my husband even does the mask with me too. Their repairing lotion is great to use at night or during the day. So if you have acne issue or looking for a way to improve your skin then definitely give this product a try!

Stop, Breathe & Enjoy the World Around You!
My husband usually puts my daughter to bed but tonight I decided to and I must say it was so fun and sad at the same time. She is now in a "big girl" bed and I LOVE it, so does she. Her room is yellow and all the bright colors and butterflies and toddler decorations make her room so cozy!
We were lying in her bed joking around and laughing. I could not believe how much she has grown. I was singing songs with her and cuddling, it was so much fun. And then of course through the laughter came the tears. No not from my daughter but from me. I could not believe this little girl is mine. I could not believe that 26 months ago she was in my belly and now singing songs with me.
I cherish those moments when nothing else matters, when it is her and I laughing and enjoying one another. She is amazing and those last 26 months flashed before my eyes. Here my baby girl, now a toddler, was in a big girl bed, talking away and giggling at the silly things we were saying. It is these moments in life that we need to stop and focus on. Forget work, forget your bills, forget the drama of the world and sit back every day for at least 30 minutes and take it all in. Stop breathe and enjoy the world around you!

Donate and Make a Difference
It is funny how contagious generosity can be. I am a true believer of Karma and lately the smallest gestures make a huge difference. Whether it is a smile to a stranger or holding the door open for the elder, doing something good makes you feel good and whether you see it or not you in turn will receive something good!
Every year at this time I noticed that the request for donations come in. Not sure why or if there is a reason but they always seem to. I get my pile of donation requests filled with return labels, and notepads with my name on them and the ones with nickels and start to donate.
I know some people are not financially able to donate and that is fine, but for the majority of us please find a cause you believe in and give back. The feeling is rewarding in it's own way! I do not donate expecting something good in return, that defeats the whole purpose, but I give back because the cause I donate to has a special meaning to me or a loved one or just because I believe in the cause. So if you can make a difference and even it is just $5.00 every penny counts.
If you do not want to donate through the mail then get involved in a local community walk to raise money for a cause you believe in. There are a ton of local walks that I like to try to participate in and I make it fun by getting a group together to walk and in return we are giving back to our community.
Below are some of my favorite organizations to donate to.

Outgrowing Nap Time=More Vino for Mommy
These last two weeks my daughter has given me so much trouble while trying to put her down for a nap. It is exhausting. She is 26 months and I work while she sleeps so if she does not nap, I do not work and that means late night hours for me to try to play catch up.
The problem is she sits in her crib, and sings on top of her lungs. It would not be so bad if she read or played with her toys...nope she shouts and sings songs and calls for me until I give up and get her. Then she gets clumsy-like me-when she is over tired. I just do not get why she fights it...I promise I will not put up a fight if someone told me to take a nap!
I have a whole new perception on stay at home mom's since I typically am one-100% respect. I am exhausted by dinner and if I do not squeeze in a 20 minute nap I will not make it past 8:05 pm! I don't know how you mother's of multiples do it!
So I may have to stock the wine fridge to help me get through this little stage of life...hey why not don't they say a glass or maybe two are good to have a day!

Did you know...The Average Couple Fights 312 Times a Year!
I have been with my husband long enough to know about the things I love about him and the things I do not love about him. But for some reason we still have our arguments. I am sure we all have our lists of things that bug us and I am sure my husband has his too. So when I came across this article I laughed out loud and thought you may enjoy it too!
"Couples argue 312 times a year (mostly on Thursday at 8pm for ten minutes)"
My favorite thing they mentioned was out of the TOP TEN things couples argue about the number one thing women nag their significant other over is....Stubble in the Sink! Boy were they right...maybe the mirror should not be over the sink!
Happy Reading Ladies :)
