Indestructable - A Mama's Emporium Review
One think I love about Mama's Emporium is that you get something free with every order, usually it's little stuff, a detergent sample, or sample of teething oil, lanolin, or something else she knows you like- but every once in awhile you get a really nice surprise. Imagine my shock when I opened up my package to find a copy of Plip Plop Pond!
These books are wonderful, nice and sturdy- we even tried to rip it and we couldn't! These books are non-toxic, and are made for baby to chew and play with. As a bonus when they get funky- you can just toss them in the dishwasher or washing machine. How awesome is that?
I think my favorite part of the book is that there are no words, so we get to make up a new story every time we read the book, I am really looking forward to when C starts reading the stories to me I think these books are going to make for some wonderful creative play!
Right now they are on sale at Mama's Emporium so go check them out!
I received this book for free from Mama's emporium with a paid order, and I wrote this honest review because I wanted to! :)

10 Reasons My Almost 2 Year Old Might Be Freaking Out
Inspired by this post
1. The dog won't "kiss" him.
2. The dog just "kissed" him.
3. He wanted his boots not his shoes.
4. The light is off.
5. The light is on.
6. He wants to watch Gummy Bear
7. We are out of bananas
8. He wants graps
9. He wanted an apple but signed for an orange and I should have known what he meant.
10. I gave him the wrong green crayon.

Wordless Wednesday
I was just thinking about how I would love to travel more, I would love to take my husband and son on an adventure outside of the US. Here are some pictures I took while in Istanbul with my mom and brothers in 2009.

Organization Tools
One thing I tried and failed to do last year was get organized. I read all these blogs about all of these women that just seem so put together, they have their magic binders that help keep everything in balance, and life is magical. Well last year I did make myself a binder, I planned meals for two weeks,and then it sat on my shelf for the last three months of the year.
However this year I am going to try again. I pulled out my binders (I actually made two, one for budgeting and one for various things around the home) and I am getting back to work! I am going to make sure that I keep things on track this year! (Go me!) Last year when I did this I scoured the web for what I felt were some of the best and most helpful tools available for making a home management binder. Your needs are probably going to be a bit different since your family is not the same as mine. However, if you have "Get Organized" as one of your new years resolutions, you might find this helpful as well!
The very first thing I have in my binder is a one page yearly calendar. I went to the same Creative Mamma to get my calendar as I did this year. She does amazing work and you should check her out. I went with her Kawaii Mini Calendar because I think it's adorable and I like to open up my binder to something fun.
She has other options as well, such as doodle calendars and weekly planners, and other fun stuff like printable gift tags. Not only is this mamma creative, but she's talented too.
As the weeks go on, I will share more info with you on how my binder is set up and what else is in it. If you just can't wait, feel free to check out my Pinterest board Organizational Peace to find out more!

Happy New Year!

| Source Unknown |
I know things have been quiet around here lately, but I have been working "behind the scenes" to make some arrangements to improve this blog, so keep an eye out for some great new content, and a regular updating schedule! I also have some awesome reviews in the works as well! I am striving to make my 2013 my best year ever as well. The start of the year is always the busiest for me, especially this year. I have my final class before I get my degree, then we have my sons birthday on the 21st, he will be 2 this year! Time flies so fast! I have been planning his birthday for a couple of months now, so I hope it is epic! My father turns 70 in a few days, and I am still trying to figure out something amazing to do for him, any suggestions would be welcome (he lives in Texas, so he's not nearby that makes it a bit harder.)
I don't make new years resolutions, but I do have goals for the new year, I want to pull out my home management binder, and home budget binder that have been gathering dust and put them back to work. I also have a goal of feeling better about myself (I think this is going to be the hard one.)
Do you make new years resolutions? If so what is yours for 2013?
