Wordless Wednesday-Dont Cry Over Spilled Milk


His older brother's cup was on the edge of the table! He couldn't resist it. I, being the weird mom that I am had to take a picture of it. It reminds me of the saying , Don't cry over spilled milk. Sometimes you cant let the little things get to you.

Everyday Minerals- Eyeshadow Product Review



So you can understand my review better let me first tell you a little more about myself. I am addicted to eyeshadow! Its way cheaper than shoes and purses. I am a mom of three under five so my time is very limited. Even though my days are crazy busy I still like to feel good about the way I look. I believe a little bit of makeup can go a long way. Even if you only have a few minutes you can but a little on and look and feel great! All of us moms love looking and feeling great especially when it only takes a few minutes.

A little about Everyday Minerals ......

1) Being healthy. That means taking care of my skin by using all-natural


products that are actually good for it! That's why Carina started this mineral

makeup company.

2) Saving money. I am not going to pay 25-40 bucks on foundation. Period.

Our products are ridiculously inexpensive. That's also why Carina started this

mineral makeup company. Women shouldn¹t have to pay a premium for

looking stunning.

3) Thinking globally in everyday actions. As a woman and mother with

a daughter, women’s issues are very important to me. At Everyday

Minerals, we believe that women’s issues are the moral battleground of

this century. As such, we recently launched our Everyday Forward

mission, in which all proceeds from a designated product go to a

selected woman’s charity, such as Kiva.org, Womenforwomen.org,

Care.org, and Globalliving.org . One day every woman in the world will

be given the love, dignity, and appreciation they deserve to fulfill

their gifts and dreams.

4) No Animal Testing Promise

Everyday Minerals sent me four eye shadows to try out (Smokey Pink, Lip Lock, Hot Chocolate, and in the Garden).

I already love that it is a mineral eyeshadow. I love stuff that you can wear that wont harm your skin. This product did not cause any breakouts! It was very easy to use. It stayed on all day. I'm talking chasing three kids around the house, cleaning, errand running, cooking, ALL DAY! The colors are very light and neutral. Nice for working moms, going on errands,and dinner with the hubby. I would like to see a few more bold colors! I love subtle pretty popping colors but ever now and then I want to go bold. This product really exceeded my expectations! I think I'm going to have to try the foundation. Everyday minerals I love your eyeshadow and I love what your about.


(I did not get paid to say any of these things. I did receive free product to review. This did not change my opinion of the products. The words written are my honest opinion of the products/site. I only give honest reviews.)

I love baby kisses! He still needs to learn to keep his mouth closed when he kisses. It is too damn cute though. These are the kind of pictures that are good to have out when you are having one of those days. It will make you smile and forget most your worries.

I want I want I want I want

Having three little kids I hear the phrase I want a lot. Mom I want. But, mom I just want. Please mom I want. Sometimes there is an added whine with it. Or the added puppy dog look. Mom wants too but she never gets to tell anybody about it. As a mom I know that wants are wants and that needs come first. Then when there is a little extra for wants it usually goes to the kiddies. It makes you feel good to give them something a little extra every now and then, and its totally OK to sacrifice your wants for theirs. Well virtual world, I know you get it so I can tell you my wants without feeling bad. 

Mommy wants

I want to be able to catch all those important memories of the kids,family,and friends. My camera just wont record long enough. I want to make those memories last forever!


My three little ones can make a mess. Our vacuum is more than a few years old. You have to go over and over and over it again to get it to suck anything up. It takes forever to vacuum. I am a mom of three, I don't have time to waste.





I have had three kids back to back (ages 4,3,1). My weight has gone up and down. After the last one I have worked my butt off to get rid of all the extra baby weight. Yea medium shirts and size 7 jeans!!!!We aren't having any more kids so the weight will stay off. I am tired of wearing my old baggy clothes. It doesn't make you feel or look good to wear clothes that don't fit.  This want may just move to the need section soon.


Mom wants, mom wants, mom wants! Its OK that these probably wont happen, but its OK to dream right?

I'm an Auntie

I'm An auntie!!!! It has a lot of mixed feelings that go with it. The situation is really complicated and not really my business to tell. So, not a lot I can really say about it. Babies are gifts from God. I love babies! I am really hoping that no matter how complicated the situation is I can still be apart of the babies life. She is so precious. The feeling of holding her and know that she is my niece was really awsome!

Welcome to the world Melannnie. I already love you and am really hoping to stay apart of your life.

Wordless Wednesday


I look like such a goof ball. I was trying to take a picture of us together with my cell phone. He just wanted to chill with mama and the fake bug. He wasn't going to help try and get a cute picture. Regardless, I love this picture it caught a cute moment!
