PXSupply.com the best place for military Gear and Equipment

I have a Brother in Law who is in the Army and before I met my husband, I had dated several military men. I thought it would be cute to have some army Pt shirts to wear. I had always gotten my previous military clothing on post but I can only get on post with military personal and since my BIL and SIL are stationed in Germany that is hard to do right now.

A few weeks ago I discovered PXSupply.com. A great site that carries all types or military gear and equipment. Phil and I each decided to get a GENUINE ARMY ISSUE PT T-SHIRT.



I have owned these shirts before and they are great. Supper comfy to work out in or wear to bed. Plus they last a long time. I had my last shirt for over 4 years.

I was really impressed with all the options PXSupply.com had and I look forward to shopping with them in the future.


Check them out you won't be disappointed.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT...YES ITS TRUE

After losing a baby in October... We are excited to announce we are Pregnant.

I am 11 weeks today and Due September 7th!



We found out right before New years and then had an ultrasound at 7 weeks. They were unable to get the trans-vaginal to work so they measured from on top of my tummy and the baby had a great heartbeat of 136 but was measuring 1 week behind. I know exactly when we conceived so even though the doctor wasn't worried I was.

I was given another ultrasound at 8 weeks. At this ultrasound everything went great, The baby measured 8 weeks on the dot and had a heartbeat of 174. We were very hopeful but didn't want to say anything till we made it past the time of the loss of our last baby.


Yesterday I went to the doctor and we had a scare when he could not get a heartbeat on the Doppler. We were very upset and worried but were sent for an Emergency ultrasound where they found baby was just hiding. Baby is doing great. He/she had a heartbeat of 189 and was measuring again right on the dot (10 weeks 6 days). Baby slept most of the ultrasound but did wake up long enough to give us a wave with its hand.


I have been very tired and nauseous. My cravings include fruit, pizza and lately I can't get enough Lemonade.

I will be finding out if it is a boy or girl but Phil wants to be surprised. So in an attempt to keep it a surprise to Phil I won't be telling!

The TravelRest Pillow....Must have for any flight

This past week we went to Arizona. A 4 hour flight is not fun or comfortable. I decided it would be best to try and sleep on the flight and went looking for a nice travel pillow. I found a great new travel pillow that I ordered.


The TravelRest Pillow is the best pillow on the market in my opinion.

After trying it out on my flight there and back I had to share about it with you.

With its patented ergonomic shape, the TravelRest pillow attaches to any seat back, nestling against the head and neck to provide support and comfort in flight or on the road. Even without a seat back, TravelRest's versatile design provides excellent support - simply sling the tether cord over your head and shoulder...and relax.

I just put it over my shoulder and flipped sides as needed. It was more comfortable that any other travel pillow I have tried and I was able to sleep and land rested.


Some things I love about it.

It blows up in 3-4 breaths and deflates easily.

deflated it is very small and can fit on your luggage handle or in your purse.

It is made of a comfortable material and they even offer a cover for additional comfort.

It adjusts so it works no matter how tall or short you are and even kids can use it.

It also works great for car rides.


I will never travel without one again.

I'm Back

We went to Arizona for the week and had a blast. I have always wanted to move there but hadn't been there in about 10 years so we decided to check it out and meet with a realtor to look at houses. We learned a lot about the area and now are familiar with the streets, schools and such. Our realtor is now familiar what we are looking for and it should be pretty easy to find a nice house to purchase when we get there.

After spending the week there we are 200 percent sure it is where we want to live. At this point we are just waiting on Phil to get a job out there and then we are out of here.

I also had the opportunity to meet with a blogger friend of mine who lives there and who I have been chatting with for a while now. We had a great time with her at dinner and she was so helpful in giving advice and answering questions we had. She also brought along some sunscreen and a blacklight flashlight for us.

For those of you who don't know, Scorpions glow under blacklight and I have been nervous about seeing/ getting stung by one. This way I can check for them and put my mind at ease. Thank You Jen <3. I hope you all had a great week!

Johnson's Naturals Baby Line

Between bringing reusable bags to the grocery store and purchasing items with fewer, simpler ingredients, as Moms, we find ourselves looking for ways to be a little bit greener in our everyday lives. Now, Johnson's Brand, a trusted brand many of us grew up on, has made it even easier to incorporate natural products into our children's daily routine.


Johnson's new Natural product line provides a unique combination of 98% naturally derived ingredients, designed to cleanse, hydrate and nourish our baby's skin. With the first-ever naturally derived No More Tears Formula – plus with no parabens, dyes, or essential oils - Johnson's Natural foaming baby wash, shampoo and lotion prove gentle enough for newborns and "big kids" alike. And, with the 60% post-consumer recycled packaging, the products not only naturally work to nurture your child's skin, but also help protect the environment.

I was sent the
Johnson’s Natural Baby Lotion
Johnson’s Natural HEAD-TO-TOE Foaming Baby Wash
Johnson’s Natural Baby Shampoo

My Thoughts

As we all know baby skin is very sensitive and as a mom I think going Natural is super important. I wouldn't want my child to have any unnatural chemical or ingredient on his/her skin. I wouldn't want to encourage allergies or have to deal with rashes caused by unnatural ingredients.


I love the Shampoo. I was able to use it on my friends son and his skin was left feeling very soft and the product gave no odor at all. He just looked clean and his hair and skin felt so soft.

I would recommend Johnson's Naturals line to parents and expectant mothers.

Visit Johnson's Website Here to learn more about their new naturals line, receive coupons and view a series of videos that offer tips on how to affordably incorporate natural living into everyday family life.



“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Johnson’s Natural and received a product sample to facilitate my review, and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

I know many people need gluten-free foods so when I had the opportunity to sample Udi's gluten-free Products I wanted to share my experience with you.

LADY AND THE TRAMP DIAMOND EDITION available February 7, 2012

One of my favorite movies as a child was Lady and the Tramp so I was really excited to learn that LADY AND THE TRAMP DIAMOND EDITION would be available on February 7, 2012.


Synopsis: A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named Lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects. Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and the affection of her human family.


Share this timeless Disney Classic with your family as Walt Disney’s beloved classic, Lady and the Tramp, finally releases from the Disney Vault for the first time ever on Blu-ray. This heartwarming tale now charms a new generation of families and fans with its exquisite animation and unforgettable songs in one of the greatest love stories of all time. Featuring high definition sound and immersive bonus features your family can enjoy together, Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition is a must own addition to your Disney collection.


I was sent a copy to review. I couldn't wait to show it to Shane. He loved Lady and watching her adventure. He also really enjoyed all the songs. He has asked to watch the movie every night since we received it. I really enjoyed watching it with him as it brought back memories of my childhood.

Check out these clips from the movie and Make sure you run out and get a copy. It is one of those movies you must have in your collection.

Space Bag High Capacity Storage Tote Review and Giveaway


The Space Bag High Capacity Storage Tote is available in two sizes



The Jumbo Tote holds up to two bedding sets, four pillows, and 12 sweaters or jackets.

TheUnder Bed Tote holds up to one bedding set, two pillows, and five to seven sweaters or jackets.


Here are some of the ways you can put the Tote to use in your home:

· Gather up the plush toys and stuffed animals your child no longer plays with on a regular basis and place them in the Tote. Once compressed, these soft playthings will take up a fraction of the size they usually do piled up in the corner of the room.

· Save space in your linen closet by placing guest bedding and extra pillows in the Tote. When overnight guests arrive, simplyunzip the bag and fresh linens will be ready to use.

· Puffy winter jackets, ski attire and bulky sweaters have no place in the closet during warmer months. Place these items in the Tote and store it in the garage or attic. The airtight seal and canvas cover will protect items inside from dust, mildew, odors and pests during storage.

· The Tote can also be used as a hand-me-down helper. Place outgrown children’s clothing in the bag and seal it for future use. Jot down the size, gender and season of the clothing on a piece of paper and store it in the Tote’s see-through window for easy identification later.


I love the new Storage Totes. I was sent a Jumbo to review and it is going to come in so handy when we move. It will be perfect to help protect my comforter, sheet set and pillows during our move.
