The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth ~ Review

Since first finding out I was expecting our third baby, I have heard more times than I can count, "I can't believe you are starting over".  My "Baby" turned six in October, and I almost feel like I am preggers for the first time all over again with so much time between them. This pregnancy has not been like either one of my other two, and I was looking for some up to date reading material for a refresher course. Basically, I was in desperate need of advice and tips. Thank goodness I received The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth to review!


The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth is just jammed pack full of advice and helpful tidbits about what you are going through as a pregnant soon to be mommy. This book includes forty-three chapters. One chapter for each week of your pregnancy, and a couple extra with information for after your baby is born.

Each chapter has a simple to follow outline. The first part which is divided into 3 sections always starting with information about you and your baby. The first section includes information about "Your Baby's Size". This has honestly been one of my favorite little sections that I look forward to checking out each week. Right now at week 15 my baby should be about 4 to 4 1/2 inches or about the size of a bocci ball.

Enter for your chance to WIN a Hearts For Hearts Girls 14" Doll!!!

Hearts For Hearts Girls Review

Hearts For Hearts Girls sent me their adorable 14" doll, Zelia from Brazil for reviewing purposes. After receiving the doll and learning more about the company and their mission.... I have fell in Love! 

What girl doesn't love a doll with a unique story behind her? That is just what the Hearts For Hearts Girls dolls have. They offer dolls from Brazil, the United States and other continents as well. Each doll has a story that gives insight into their own unique culture and causes.

Hearts For Hearts Girls has a mission statement, "We invite all girls to become agents of change- to improve the lives of girls in their communities, across their country, and around the world. We promise to deliver meaningful products and experiences and to tell all girls, "You can help!"  What an encouraging and thought provoking way to grab young girls' hearts, and keep them thinking of ways to better their world.


The 14" Zelia doll whose outfit is authentic to her specific culture in Brazil also includes a comb, girl sized friendship bracelet, and a mini book. Zelia's arms and legs are able to posed, and she has life like big cinnamon brown eyes. The included mini book story is about what Zelia's life is like, and how she has found ways to help her parents on their coffee farm in Brazil. She has a desire to save the rain forests, and her family gets behind her by planting rain forest trees on their farm. They have incorporated a wonderful cause within Zelia's personal story. Loved it!

Fun Times at Disney Live! ~ Review

I was given the coolest opportunity to go see Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales on Sunday with free tickets in exchange for a review. I hadn't ever taken my son to see a live performance before, and was interested to see how entertained he would stay. Should never have worried, it was captivating for both the parents and children for the very beginning to the final scene! 

The live performance began with our Disney Favorites Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy beginning to read the fairy tale Snow White. Each of the actors did an excellent job portraying their character with  elaborate movements, and effects. As I would have expected the 7 Dwarfs stole the scenes with their crazy antics and funny comments. My only issue with this part of the performance was that the lightning flashes, and thundering crashing mixed with the other loud sounds during the scene with the evil queen really seemed to disturb my 3 year old nephew, but he quickly recovered and enjoyed the rest of the tale.
