So I’ve used VistaPrint before. I’ve ordered business cards, return address labels, and stationary and loved all of it. They have a huge selection of products; everything you could need for your small business. Their products all match and coordinate so you can order business cards that match your stationary, stamps, pamphlets, and even your website. I have ordered business cards and return address label for my sister who is starting a clothing line. They had great templates for me to choose from. Recently, I found that VistaPrint offers a variety of postcards. There are so many to choose from. I found a postcard that is perfect or my brother. He is moving this week and the postcards would be great to let everyone know his new address. I found another one that is great for my friend. She is getting married this fall and they offer beautiful save the date card at a great price. You can even upload your own image so your postcards can match anything you need it to. VistaPrint has great customer service. I recently called about an order I placed and I was quickly helped with my problem. Their site is really easy to navigate with all the options clearly listed on the left and step by step instructions to guide you in your order.
What do you need for breastfeeding? Besides your breasts, here’s my list:
- the Boppy ( I also have a Breast Friend which actually has better support, stays in place better, and is easier while you are learning to breastfeed, if you are having trouble with positioning the baby, get the Breast Friend)
- nursing bras (I love the “sleep” bras, I wear them ’round the clock, I hated the underwire ones even though I used to wear underwires before breastfeeding)
- a nursing cover like the Hooter Hiders (or you can just let it all hang out in public, whatever)
- a pump, especially is you plan on working or are set on never giving the baby formula (if you plan to never leave your baby for more than 2 hours, you can skip this step)
Looking to make some extra money? Me too. I used to work as a teacher, but after I had kids, I made the decision to stay home and be a full time stay at home mom. It’s great and all, but the pay is well…nothing. I tried to offer to pay my mortgage with dirty diapers, but the bank found that somehow unappealing. What to do? I’ve recently turned to bloggging to make some extra money. I found SocialSpark to be the perfect fit for my blog. They pay you to blog about different companies. You just write a blog about one of their advertizers, and they pay you. This entry is a paid blog from SocialSpark. Their site offers ways to connect to other bloggers too. They have message boards so I can stay connected and updated with other bloggers like myself, like stay at home mom bloggers. SocialSpark is a different kind of blog network. WIth some of the others, the blog opportunities get taken quickly and you can miss out. But with SocialSpark, you can put yourself on a waiting to take a blog, so even if you miss it, you still have a chance to get it later. SocialSpark also lets you contact the advertisers directly, so you can send them messages or even request opportunities. I signed up and made my profile. Get started today at SocialSpark.

I saw ‘Sex and the City’ in the theatres this weekend. I went with my sisters, which was great fun. The movie was great. Exactly what you’d expect from SATC. Each character is on a different path, one with a boyfriend, one getting married, one expecting a baby, and the other in the trenches of married life, with kid, husband, and job wearing her down. There’s something in it for everyone. I literally, laughed, cried and cheered my way through the movie and left feeling satisfied that my friends; Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, were right where they should be.

My 2 year old loves tool toys. We have several tool sets and a huge toy tool bench. His favorite these days is the hammer. Hammers of any size and shape will keep his attention for long periods of time. He will hit anything that resembles a nail, screw, or bolt, or even pretend that anything is a nail. I purchased a cheap plastic croquet set from the toy store which has 2 mallets. He calls them his John Henry hammers. (John Henry is a tall tale about a man who built railroads.) He even sings the John Henry song as he hits the nails and build the railroad. Boys are so funny.
I bought this thing today for my baby called a Taggie. It is a blanket with little ribbons attached all around. It follows the theory that babies love the little tags on everything, so why not make a blanket covered in them. The only thing is that I paid $20 for this stupid thing. It is about a dollar worth of supplies, figure in time to make it and ship it, and there is still huge profit to be made. I know that I could make one, but since I’ve never done it, it might take me a while, and the time involved when you have 2 babies makes it not worth it. Whoever invented this thing, then decided to sell it to chump moms like me is a genius. Props to you, Taggie inventor!!
It’s been 5 1/2 weeks and I am soo ready for the cast to come off. It stinks, especially now that it is summer and HOT! I am sick of sleeping with my 2 year old. I wake up with an elbow to the eye more than I can stand. We have one more week to go until our next doctor visit. We are supposed to get the cast off then, but they could decide when we get there to wait 2 more weeks. Some tips for sanity sake: We used an eyebrow brush to scratch inside the cast. It’s not sharp, so it won’t puncture the skin (the nurses said to be sure of that) but it scrapes the dead skin off really well. I also might try an old toothbrush. I use menstrual pads to pad the cast and absorb wetness. It has really been great at keeping him comfortable and rash free. One more week, here’s hoping!

Men are such babies when they are sick. My husband was recently sick with some standard stomach bug/food illness. Vomiting, stomach cramps, etc.; the usual. Yes, I’ll admit it was probably not pleasant. However, he made such an ordeal of it. He refused to do anything with the kids, even hold them, because he said he was too weak. I have been that sick and stayed home alone with both kids, so give me a break. THe worst part though, he moans. Whenever he is sick he wants me to totally baby him. Uh, I have two actual babies, I don’t need a full grown one. The moaning got so bad that I took the kids and left him at home to fend for himself. Hmm, a day at home, alone, no kids, no spouse; I think I need a sick day.
