grandma doesn’t listen

have you ever had a grandparent give your kid a horrible gift or ine you can’t stand. tell them to check out http://www.grandkidsgiftguide.com  for some great ideas. don’t forget to check out the parent bloggers for there blog blast on grandma needs a gift consultant.

my kids grandmother is not a good gift giver at all. i don’t want to complain, because i guess it’s the thought that counts.  it’s always stuff from the thrift store or the dollar store. it just gets old after a while, used stained clothes, and cheap stuff from the dollar store that breaks in 5 minutes or is on the recall list. at one point and still sometimes is. she would buy one of my kids a gift and not the others. that upset me a lot. you don’t spoil one grandchild without doing the same for others. now i could understand birthdays, but it’s for no reason at all. now the grandparents have been very good giving gift cards or money. so my children can get something they need or it gets put away for a college fund.  when a gift dliema arises now i just return it to the sender or store. or in my case i hide it until it becomes equal between all the grandchildren.i don’t think that a gift should be bought without consulting the parents first.  go check out the gift guide and get them right gift.

review: dropps laundry pacs

 

i was sent some sample packs of dropps liquid laundry packs to review. i have to say they worked great for as many stains my kids put in there clothes, it got them out.   dropps is the greener way to go. there motto is conservation, convienance, results. thats exactly what it does!

no more big plastic bottles to lug around. they come in little packs, saving water, plastic and cardboard. plus it takes fewer trucks to ship, saving fuel( whicj is a big deal being gas is so darn exspensive)                dropps are enzyme fre, npe free, phosphate free, bio-degradable. plus they are also safe for septic tanks.

they have two different packs to choose from  fresh scent and scent + dye free.   they both work great, but i prefer the dye free and thats only because my kids have very sensitive skin. (excema)  i would recommend this product to everyone.

*moms this is perfect for you. i know what it’s like to a baby in one hand, a load of laundry in the other, plus a two pound bottle of detergent to carry to a laundry mat. here’s your answer dropps . so much more convienant

cute mom moment

know i know i have posted this before, but i am doing it again. 5 minutes for mom wants me to share a cute story or photo to try and win a gator flash drive.

now this is not a story about me so much, but it is a cute story and a mommy moment too.

sorry the pic is so bad it was taken through glass.  this is grandma hope, she is a 35 year old gorilla from the N.C. zoo in asheboro.

when we went to visit the zoo. the gorillas got up close and personnal with us, exspecially my kids. grandma hope had her baby taken away, and is very fond of children in the zoo. my two girls were playing through the glass with her. she kept giving me awkward looks and nudging toward my stroller. i thought maybe she knew that i had my 3 month old son in there. i took him out and grandma hope opened her legs put some straw together and made a nest for my son. it was the cutest mommy moment ever. it was fascinating how even gorillas have the same intuitions and feelings towards babys that we humans have.
