Spontaneous Family Trips Needed! #FamilyTime #VisitingWithFamily

Posted on October 4, 2016 by MsMingo

Sometimes you need to have spontaneous trips to visit your family or just to get away. We did that exact thing last weekend. My first intention for the weekend was to really catch up on everything that I needed to do around the house and get things caught up here on my blog. Even though I still have not managed to catch up I am glad that we did take the little trip so that we could spend some time with my sister, dad, grandma, niece, and step mom Denise.

Posted on October 3, 2016 by MsMingo

My family has always been big on family time and majority of that family consists of playing some sort of game whether its playing cards, a board game, or a video game. This will be one of many games that I feature for my holiday gift guide.  This game is not one of the games we would typically play but it seemed like a lot of fun so we wanted to try it out. I love that its not like your typical dart game. It helps with hand eye coordination.  Continue reading →

Sometimes You Just Need To Let It Out! #Memories #Happenings

Posted on September 26, 2016 by MsMingo

Its hard to believe that my mom has been gone for the past 12 years. I miss her so much and it never seems to get better. I am happy to have Denise around since I am able to ask her motherly questions. She definitely doesn’t replace my mom but its hard when I hear my daughter say where and who is your mother.  September 20th is always a rough day for me. Sometimes I feel like I am re living that day all over again. Many times I just wish I could hold her hand again and hear her voice.

carebearsline-01Sometimes the best gifts are ones that you will use daily. I know for my daughter that is definitely the case. She loves getting new sippy cups, plates, bowls and silverware of her own. Lately she has been watching the new Care Bears & Cousins series on Netflix and this mealtime set just fits perfectly. I used to watch Care Bears when I was younger I love how old shows keep being renewed so that the next generation gets to experience it as well. This kit is very cute and definitely a set that we would recommend to everyone.

Posted on September 17, 2016 by MsMingo

First off I would like to say that I am not currently expecting but I do prefer products that is safe for if you were pregnant. My husband and I are planning on trying to have another little one in the next year or two.  We really want to give Chelsea a sibling. I really feel that using products that is safe is the best way to go.  I know that I definitely have baby fever seeing all of Chelsea’s new little cousins, my friends and other family member’s little ones.

Expecting moms are often dismayed to find their skin isn’t quite as glowing as they might have envisioned.   Instead, acne – which they may not even have experienced in youth – can suddenly pop up as a result of all that hormonal flux.    Science has given us several ingredients that effectively prevent and treat acne, but many of them – like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide — aren’t considered safe during pregnancy.
