Hey there friends and followers! I am taking a much needed mommy break and snacking on some yummy yogurt covered raisins, and drinking a big glass of water while I post a little blupdate... that's my new word for blog update. :)

You've probably noticed some changes to the blog- I'm trying to make it a little more interactive by offering new things like product reviews and hosting contests and giveaways. If you're here because you're interested in participating in a giveaway, or you have a product you'd like me to review and rave about to my readers, click on the PR tab. As friends and sponsors contact me, I'll be offering contests and giveaways right here on the main page of this blog. I'll review and do giveaways for just about anything that will be helpful for moms- from beauty products to baby products. So, be sure to check back daily to see if I'm hosting any new contests!

I'll still keep you updated on how we're doing as a family. Balian is growing, growing, growing and will head to the Dr. for his three month check up on Thursday. I'll let you know how that goes. Yes- I have a ton of pictures that I need to get on here, and I also realize that I have not even shared how Balian's first Christmas went! I'll try to do the family update a little bit later on, if we have a successful time getting B down for the night.

Thanks for sticking with us. Great things are coming, so tell your mommy friends & everyone can get in on the action! More later!
