Maclaren Kid Tester! Part 1

I was so excited when I found out I had been chosen to be a "Maclaren" kid tester! I knew Ava would be thrilled to test out the Maclaren Junior quest activity centre. I also received Maclaren's beginning travel kit for my baby daughter Londyn.

After receiving the activity centre, I told my three year old daughter, Ava, that I had a surprise for her. As soon as we opened up the box, she started jumping up and down with excitement! "A stroller," she said. "Just like Mommy's!" She immediately ran downstairs, grabbed her favorite dolly, put her in the stroller and started pushing her around! I started taking the other items out of the box, which in addition to the Quest umbrella stroller, included a nightime travel cot with carrying case, a daytime rocker, and a matching travel bag. They were packaged very nicely, and it took me no more than ten minutes to assemble everything! Once Ava saw the rest of her surprises, she was even more excited! She grabbed her dolly out of the stroller and put her in the brand new cot. She said the cot is her favorite, but she couldn't stop pushing the stroller around! She was so happy with everything! Ava is a very fast, energetic little girl, and a little rough at times. All of the products have held up great and will obviously last a long time!

Beginning travel kit: I loved the little box the travel kit came in! The only problem I ran into was that one of the bottles had leaked while being shipped, which caused the other bottles to be a little sticky. Unfortunately, I won't have as much product to test with the bottle that leaked. The beginning travel kit came with cocooning massage oil for baby, comforting room mist for baby, absorbing dusting powder for baby, calming bath milk for baby, protecting nappy change balm, celebration natural wax candle, as well as soap! I love the smell of each of the products which are "all natural" and "organic." which is very important to me! I know Londyn will feel and smell wonderful and relaxed after we are able to test all of these products. Thank you Maclaren; I am so excited!

Csn Stores Review!

I was so excited when CSN stores contacted me to do another review! There are so many things to choose from that I had a hard time selecting just one! I decided to pick something out for my little daughter Londyn. I chose the Fisher-Price Melodies and Lights Deluxe Gym. Fisher-Price has a great reputation, so I knew I was in good hands! The playmat came with six toys; a soft hanging monkey, a soft toucan with jingle, an elephant with soft ears, a spinner with beads, a parrot with a paddle spinner, and a frog character mirror. The mat also comes with two satin butterflies that fly above the baby while colored lights pulsate on and off and music plays! The music plays at 3 different modes, so you can change the settings to play the way that you like it best. Londyn is a little young to enjoy the toys right now, but she loved all the lights, the flashing colors and the fun music. The toys are all unique and have fun features with bright colors! I love the option that the mat can be used as a "tummy time" as well. The toys also link to the bottom of the mat where there is a large crinkle peek-a-boo leaf with a shiny underside, sun ray ribbons, and a soft tiger tail. The mat was extremely easy and quick to put together, as well as take down to store. Even though Londyn is three months old, she really enjoys this mat. It will be exciting to see her progress through all the different features of the mat in the future. I know we will get lots of play out of this, as my three old daughter Ava also loved the mat. She kept saying that it was hers and not her sister Londyn's! She wanted to continually crawl under the mat like a baby and play, so I guess I chose a fun toy for both girls! Thank you CSN for another great opportunity!

Girls Photoshoot!

My friend Heather took these adorable pictures of the girls a couple weeks after Londyn was born! I love them! I am just now getting around to posting them! Been quite the adjustment for me! I'm sure it's nothing compared to having three, but I'm getting used to it! I love these girls more than anything else in the world! I am so greatful for them and they couldn't be more different so far.... Check out her blog she does a great job and has wonderful prices! http://www.heathertelfordsphotoblog.blogspot.com/

Another Csn Stores Review!

I am so excited that I have been asked to do another review for CSN stores! My husband and I are going to be moving into our first home within the next month or two. We have been looking at each barstool on the CSN website. Because there is such a great selection and variety, we haven't even been able to decide on which one yet! With 200+ stores, CSN stores is your one stop shop for all your needs. With the holidays coming, why not avoid the crowds, the hassle, and get excellent merchandise and prices as well? You won't be disappointed!

Happy Halloween!

She's Here!!

Londyn Pugmire

Born: 9/27/2010 at 3:32 pm

weighed: 7lb 6oz and was 19 1/2 inches long!

My computer was being fixed or I would have posted pictures alot sooner! My due date was actually the 19th of September! I was so surprised I actually had to be induced apparently she was not ready to come out! and I was a day early with Ava. Everything went really well. I loved not having to experience alot of contractions this time! I only had to push one time and she popped out! The doctor barely made it there! Thank goodness! I am really enjoying time off of work and being able to hang out with this little angel. She is so good! Except that she has her days and nights mixed up! So we get to spend alot of one on one time all night long :) and I am super tired! Ava has had quite the adjustment! Some days she loves her and wants to kiss her all day long and help take care of her and other days she says "No baby Londyn!" "I don't like her!" I can only imagine what she is going through, getting all the attention to having to share it with a newborn and hardly any from me right now! I love being a mommy to two little girls it is so rewarding! I'm so greatful I get to experience this and have been blessed with two healthy girls!

This is the only decent one I could get of Ava and Londyn and she's being a goofball!
