The Busy Mom

Well, It's been a busy few months. I have started a new baby business and my son just turned two.

Like every other mom, i'm cleaning, cooking  , playing and reading to my son on a daily basis. And I have lots and lots of sewing to do , why? well that's what my business is. I sell baby products that I make myself. Heres the link : https://www.etsy.com/shop/designerbabyshop I love sewing and I love being a Mommy. My son is just now calling me Mom and my heart get bigger every time I hear his little voice say, " Mom". There is no job like being a mother. We are testing from the day we pee on that little stick we bought from the local store. Yes, being a mom has its challenges and its many many rewards. I must say this is the most challenging position I have ever been in my life. I LOVE IT !!! I love being my lil mans Mommy.  With all that said , I'm gonna keep it short :-) Like I said Im busy busy busy <3

Painting with your toddler

Crayola Kids Paint

My son loves to paint. I love his paintings too. I already have one framed on my wall , one on my fridge and a booklet with a few paintings waiting to be framed. Painting is great for your Toddlers motor skills and lots of fun!

I found Crayola washable kids paint in my local Supermarket. I believe it was around Ten dollars.

It washes off so easy, I used a wet towel and the paint washed right off my son.  I gave him a paint brush but he had more fun painting with his hands.

Jolie Ravioli

Jolie Ravioli

Nutrition Facts / Jolie Ravioli

I love Jolie Ravioli's for kids. Toddlers need iron in their diet that is one of the main reasons Dr.'s recommend Cheerio's.  Great news! Jolie Ravioli's have 50% iron in them which is more than Cheerio's. I cook these with carrots, add a little tomatoes sauce  and Dinner is served.My son loves them . I purchased this in My local supermarket in the frozen section.  The price is awesome ! Under $5.00 cant beat that price.

The Cannabis Queen of Beverly Hills

Cheryl Shuman likes to be called "the Martha Stewart of marijuana."

After all, Martha Stewart used her namesake to create a home-building media empire, becoming the first female self-made billionaire in the United States, at least on paper. And Shuman, a California entrepreneur, hopes to do the same ... only with cannabis.

Play kids

Go to this link to get Play Play kids -

https://playkidsapp.com/trial/us/subscribe/

I Love this application. My son laughs and learns so much with Play kids.

I upload the application to my phone, click the app and he holds it in his little hands .
Very easy for my son to move things around with his fingers.

You have the choice to unlock certain games, books and videos. ( They charge)

I feel there is enough to the app that is free for him to play with.

Your child can learn about the sounds of animals as he clicks on each animal. He can play music with keys, learn numbers, colors and much much more...
