Missing in Bloggy World....That is me for the next couple of days. Sorry If I have not been around to your blog or posting for that matter. Lew is off and we have been enjoying time with him.
There will be tons of pictures and stories to tell when we get back. Thanks.
Also. If you were not able to comment on the this giveaway hopefully you will be able to do it now. Not sure what was going on. I think it was one of the videos that I had up that was causing issues. So the video that originally would not play is now playing.
Thanks! Have a great Wednesday!

It's Time to Boogie !
Recently I was given the opportunity to review Boogie Wipes. I have to admit I had never heard of them tell I checked out Natalie's review on them.
I knew that I wanted to try them because Will has had a banner year for colds and such. So if I could find something that would not make his poor little nose red, I would definitely use it.
Guess what? It worked!
They smell good. Major Plus!
Will is not running from me to wipe his boogies anymore. Major Major Plus!
They are soft and get the job done. Major Major Major Plus!
This is a little tidbit about Boogie Wipes which you can not only find on their website but at Target and Toys R' Us just to name a few.
"Boogie Wipes are made with saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented. Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue."
To demonstrate how Boogie Wipes work I enlisted my niece Lilly who suffers with allergies year round. When I showed it to my sister she fell totally in love with it! Lilly also loved it so much she asked if we could make a video about it. Yes. She is a little diva and loves to ham it up. Enjoy!

tantrums . .meltdowns . .is this week over yet ?
I have been pretty non existent in the blogging world this week do to the fact that my totally amazing and wonderful toddler has turned into a tantrum throwing, head banging, throwing machine cranky pants.
I am seriously tired. I am getting wake up calls at 5:30am. I don't drink coffee. So I am screwed in that department. No one is making ME breakfast! No one is warming up milk for me to enjoy. Nope.
By the time 10am hits I feel like I have been up 24 hours straight! I can't take it.
Every little thing lately has been setting Will off. If he doesn't get his drink right away he screams it. Not in a mean way. But I guess he is thinking I am hard of hearing or something, I mean hold your horses kid, I am one mom!
Today he ran one of his Tonka trucks into the back of my ankle and that mother hurt! I put him up in his room because frankly timeout does not work. This kid gets up no matter what. When I went to get him after 2 minutes, he just looked at me and new he had done wrong. I told him to say sorry and he actually did it.
I don't know about you but he was a complete and utter prince up until a couple of weeks ago when these tantrums started bursting out of know where. I mean I really hope this does not last until he turns 3 in JANUARY! I can't take it.
Then when he was napping today, which is my only saving grace, I was looking at pictures of my mom. I realized that all the pictures I have are of her with my oldest sister's kids. I just got totally choked up and started balling, like serious crocodile tears people! I wish she were here to help guide me and give me "motherly" advice. I guess I am totally jealous that my sister's kids got to experience their grandma and have pictures to remember her by. All Will will have is pictures of his cousins with his grandma.
Kinda sucks.
Thank goodness Lew is off next week for a long over due vacation because I need some major backup.
I seriously hope that today is a better day filled with rainbows and unicorns...a girl can hope right?!

Potty Training Anybody ? ?
We or shall I say I am getting ready to start potty training Will. Lew works so many hours that really this milestone will fall on me most of the time.
I need help. I need help from all my bloggy friends out there.
Will has gone on the potty 3 times so we have been a bit inconsistent.
But now it is time to get down to business.
What methods did you use? Did it just happen? How long did it take you? Did you use pull ups or underwear?
Any advice you can give will be SO HELPFUL!
Thanks!

Picture Post...i know how creative !
First I wanted to say how proud I am of my sweet bubsy. He has been binky free for over a month now! He is looking more and more like a little guy these days rather than my baby. {{tears}} So sad!
Fun at the park...we had free rain that day as it was so hot!
Will was running away from the "tractor" that was mowing the fields...mama...alfie!
Deep in thought or contemplating if this is the right place to poop.
Will's version of swinging...
Playing in the dirt..what boy doesn't love that?
More swingin'...
What happens when you are running down a hill wearing crocs...
It has been so hot hear so we have either been inside soaking up the AC or Will has been swimming in his pool.
Next week Lew is taking a week off so we are going to do a couple day trips to a few places around here, including the beach! So excited for that. Will loves the beach!
I know this is a bit random. But I have a feeling summer blogging will be a bit random and scattered. We have to enjoy it while we can. Well...off to go and teach pilates and train a couple of clients. Have a great day!

Yellow Butterfly . . .
Today we saw you. You danced around us with flurry in the bright, sunny afternoon of June.
You landed on the most sweetest of rose bushes and let Will get a glimpse of you. You flapped your wings oh so fast. Will pronounced you his "fly fly".
Because you are a wonderful grandmother you decided it was time to play a little chase. You flew around with such grace as Will chased you. You stayed close. That's how I knew it was you. Will had the belly giggles as you let him follow you around. Never once did you leave our sight. You always touch your grand babies so.
Then you landed back on the rose bushes with ease. Will and I were inches away from touching your golden wings when you flew above us and almost floated.
Maybe to say you were watching over us.
Maybe you were telling Will what a fun time you had playing with him.
Maybe its because you are the world's greatest grandma.
Maybe its because you are the best mom a girl could ever have.
I miss you everyday. Thanks for telling me its okay.
