Our Adventure Called Life

Happy New Years Eve Everyone!!!! Today I'm going to review an ice cube tray I got recently! It's a silicone ice cube tray! Now we've used it for regular ice and it worked. We've tried ice with fruit and it was a HIT! The Ice Cubes come out so easily and it makes me very happy. It also makes it incredibly convenient with a toddler and 11 month old in the house! What else does it work for?! We've been using it to count! Emarosa has been putting her blueberries in it to count. So far we've gotten to 5 blueberries. With her delays, I've been concerned with her learning in general. We take anything and everything we can use to count with and put them individually into the ice cube tray. The awesome part is, this ice cube tray comes with a lid which makes freezing very nice. We can stack anything on top of them and water doesn't spill everywhere. The silicone ice cube trays by TigexPro retail at $8.90. They are worth every single penny and can

As an insomnia sufferer, sleep is usually almost nonexistent. I'm very lucky if I get 2 hours of good sleep on a normal night. I toss, turn, throw Jon off of me, go back to cuddling, end up sideways, just to try to get comfortable enough to sleep. Last night, that ALL CHANGED!!!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WPWZ99 This product has SAVED my sleep life! It's a Venuscare sleep silk mask. It blocks out all light, applies just enough pressure to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. Normally, I don't like products covering my eyes while I'm sleeping, but I put this to the test; as it claims to not smudge your make-up. That is probably the only thing that they claimed that wasn't true! I slept over 6 uninterrupted hours of deep deep sleep and I loved it. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone. The silk mask is extremely soft, durable, and doesn't make me feel suffocated when I am wearing it. I felt secure and comfortable. The strap is adjustable so m

A little thing about us, we're big on saving money when we can; and we like to do things the natural way (example: We Cloth Diaper). We have two snakes and two bearded dragons. With that, the cost of rats for the snakes and crickets for our dragons can become costly, so we've decided to go ahead and attempt to breed the crickets!!! I'm actually pretty excited about it. I've learned so far that they can eat Baby Rice Cereal, which oddly enough I have an abundance of it. They can also eat fruits and vegetables, which we buy a lot of anyways, so that will help our waste costs go down. So far, I have a tote filled with tubes, egg cartons, their food, and more. I also have about 200 crickets that are in there. I need to get some top soil in there so they can hatch and lay their eggs. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to set up our tote or anything else, feel free to comment below! ~Until Next Time

I've been battling depression for as long as I can remember. I have always been that easily picked on kid because I was "too nice," "too weird," and just overall felt a sense of hatred from my fellow peers even from an early age. I was extremely nice to anyone and everyone because I was taught from a young age that you get what you put out into the world; and I still see that even in today's society. I'm not going to go into an extremely in depth blog post about my triggers for depression or what has caused my depression because quite frankly, it's an entire book, not a blog post. But today, I got out of bed. Maybe just to get my kids fed, cleaned up, and relaxing because they're sick; but I also got myself to the couch. As I am sick too. But I did get out of bed. Small victories, my friends, small victories. For those of you who are battling depression, please remember to celebrate even the small victories like changing your clothes, br

I suck at holding myself accountable for the everyday tasks that need to get done; like exercise, laundry, dishes, etc. BUT that stops today. I'm going to start holding myself accountable for everything that needs to be done in my life. Yes, this blog post is going to be short, but I promise as the next few weeks happen, I will be posting more and more. I'm hoping posting to the blog will help me hold myself accountable for all things that I need to do. There are no excuses, but I have been suffering from my depression severely; to the point where getting out of bed every day is a chore. I'm done feeling like this. I need to exercise to increase some happy endorphins and I need to laundry more because I'm sure my 3 year old is tired of running around in just pajamas all day (though that does make it easier when it is bed time). I have some great products coming to me for review, so I need to get my life together! ~Until Next Time
