Photo: TODAY is #RareDiseaseDay! Spread the word.
#IRSF #Rettsyndrome
Today is a special day set aside to spread the word about Rare Diseases. As my readers know, I have a daughter with a Rare Disease, RettSyndrome (check out Marebear's page to learn more).  It is very important we spread the word about these rare conditions in an effort to make sure no one goes undiagnosed. 

In honor of Marion, I wanted you to know today is rare disease day! Rett syndrome is a rare disease, but it is become more known thanks to those that spread the word. The more people that know about disease like Rett syndrome, like policy-maker, researcher and health care profession the less likely people we go undiagnosed.  By spreading the word about Rett syndrome, will also help raise awareness and help to find a cure!

Moms Night Out Movie Review

As a member of Mom Select I attend a private screening of Mom's Night Out Movie in exchange for a review for the film.  However all opinions expressed her are my own.

As moms we love our kids, but that doesn't mean we do not need a night out to ourselves.  As a mom of three kids, I definitely needed a night out, so I asked one of my friends if she wanted join me for a private screening of Mom's Night Out Movie.  Of course she wanted to see it, so we heading to the movie theater.

Mom's Night Out Movie Review:

This movie is cast full of talented actors like Sean Austin and Patricia Heaton to name a few.

As the movie starts the main charter Allison, a mommy blogger of three kids, is trying to come up with a story to blog about while she tries to keeping her house clean.   As a mommy blogger and mom to three beautiful blessings myself I felt as if I was watching a story of my life.  Allison, like most moms, decided its time for a peaceful, grown-up only night out with her friends.  Allison, like most of us moms, feels overwhelmed by the chaos of life as a mom.  Allison and her friends want to go out to dinner together but they worry their husbands won't be able to take care of the kids by themselves but soon decide they must give their husbands the benefit of the doubt and leave the kids with them.  They will only be gone for three hours and what could go wrong in three hours?  EVERYTHING!


What I love most about this movie:

Mom's Night Out Movie is a fun comedy for the whole family.  There is no inappropriate language or crude scenes.  You can take your tween daughter to it and not feel uncomfortable ( that is kind of hard to do with today's movies).

My favorite quote from this movie 

Allison's husband Sean is talking about her "job" as a stay-at-home mom and says,
"Your job is...       Important.  I mean just look at them." ( looking at their children). 
This quote reminded me my "job" as a mom is important.  Every moment of everyday I am writing on the pages of my children's autobiography. Every little thing I do for them matters. They don't care what we do together they only care that we are together, but I will not be taking the baby to a tattoo parlor ( when you watch the movie, you will understand what I meant)!


This movie will have you laughing through out the whole movie.  It is full of funny and quirky one liners that you will be quoting for years to come. So call some friends and plan on getting together to see the premier of Mom's Night Out, it will be a night to remember.



Mom's Night Out Movie premieres on May 9th.

Have your kids ever come up to you with snot running down their nose into their mouth.

What are boogie wipes?


"Boogie Wipes are made with saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Extra soft and scented in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol (for extra stuffy noses), Simply Unscented and Boogieberry, Boogie Wipes are recommended by Pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue."




Our family has made the switch to Boogie wipes, and we could not be happier.  Boogie Wipes unique formula dissolves mucus leaving our faces soft and boogie free.  Regular use of the Boogie wipes have prevent dry and chapped noses at our house.   If you have a special needs child like I do, Boogie Wipes are great for wiping off drool too.

Hershey’s Spread the Possibilities Sample Share

As a member of Crowdtap I was selected to host a Hershey’s Spread the Possibilities Holiday Sampling.  

I have never used a chocolate spread before so I was not sure what to do with it.  When it arrived I just pulled out some my favorite snack items and gave it a try.   I was so excited to try all kinds of flavor combinations. 


We incorporated Hershey's spread into all of our snacking.  We gave our fruit a boost by trying Hershey's spread on strawberries and apples.  Next I mixed it with something salty; gram-crackers and pretzel.  I  also tried it on a Peanut butter, banana and Chocolate spread sandwich.  Oh yea and don't forget some chocolate spread on your my kids mini-waffles.  I added some marshmallows to the mini-waffles for a happy face!


 The sky is the limit with what my imagination wants to spread this chocolaty goodness on top!  


What do you associate Hershey brand with? 

Now do you really wish you had Hershey's Chocolate spread?  

Disclaimer:  I received a sample of Hershey's Chocolate spread from Crowdtap and Hershey's Brand.  However all opinions expressed her are my own.
