When my first child was born I wrote down every breath that child took! Seriously, her baby book is so full; crammed full of, well EVERYTHING!! Selena’s baby book is filled out cover to cover! First poop to first movie. First haircut to tooth. Tons of photographs! Her first piece of artwork to every ticket stub for every movie! Not to mention clothes, candles and well, this huge book fills a huge canvas tote. Fast forward to the third kid…. yeah…. well Zachary’s book has a cartoon, his birth announcement and a recipe for Quiche. This book is nearly empty. BAD MOM!! BAD MOM!! I finally realized I was not even doing a fair job updating 3 baby books so I stopped completely and started what we call The Family Book. It started at 1983. Every January 1st I start a new Family Book even to this day. Over the years my definition of a Family Book has changed a LOT! But it has always sat in the middle of the table and updated at night during dinner. When the kids were little we went around the table and asked what was the best part of your day. Was there anything bad…

The Hominize Designer Soft Baby Bib with crumb catcher is a wonderful addition to have when you have a wild, crazy, fun-loving, adventurous eater like my one-year-old on your hands!!! Whew!!! My little girl is one MESSY eater. She enjoys finger painting with ketchup or yogurt…instead of eating it, and why put food in your mouth when it’s more fun to throw it? So when she finally does decide something is good enough to taste, usually only a small portion of it actually makes it into her mouth while the rest decorates any outfit that she is wearing at the time.   While on a mini vacation, I decided to try out my new Hominize Soft Baby Bib with Crumb Catcher to see if it would possibly save an outfit or two from almost complete destruction. I am pleased to say it did!!! Well…for the 5 minutes my sweet munchkin decided to wear it at least! After that, it actually made a wonderful breakfast table toy! She happily played with it for at least another 5 whole minutes and I actually got to eat a warm meal!! I love the fact that this bib is SUPER SOFT and SUPER FLEXIBLE and…

So, didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas? Might I suggest heading over to Novica? Seriously, my loyal followers often hear me going ga-ga over the beautiful pieces over at Novica. You should see my wish list!! HOLY MOLY it just goes on and on!! I check the site often because they are always adding new items. I m really excited that now I can even look on Amazon!! I really can’t help it; I am thoroughly and completely infatuated with Novica; they make it their mission to GIVE BACK! I love that!! To date Novica has sent over $60 MILLION dollars back to artisans around the world. Novica gives artisans around the world fair prices, no binding contracts, and the freedom to make a success of their craft by building a sustainable business. What that means to me? It means I can feel good about purchasing products from Novica. HUGE bonus is the quality and workmanship is amazing. I have NEVER been disappointed in a single item I’ve purchased. E-V-E-R!!

Check this out! This is the GJT®GT900 Slim Car Dash Cam. This dash cam comes with an HDMI cable that allowed playback on your TV. You can also play back the videos on your camera, computer or upload it via the USB cable or the mini flash card itself.  The GJT®GT900 is super easy to use. Set up is easy as well. I added the date, time as easily as setting up any camera or other electronics. I didn’t even have to open the manual. For me that’s a major selling point. I’m a push the buttons till it works kinda girl. (Yes, insert a BIG wide grin here!) This dash cam requires a micro mini flash card that is not included with the camera. I picked up a 32 GB one and it holds plenty of clear, bright video.  Check it out, here are a couple of days of my commute. Trust me this is not my normal commute!!! Did everyone in Southern California take from December 20th till December 31st off?!?! Where is everyone!?!? Also, sorry about the shadow of my Hula Girl. But, she is stuck but good on my dash!! The camera has a 3.0 Inch LCD Display…
