Cutest dog ever!

Ok, so I am behind the times, I have never joined Pinterest until today. My girlfriends at school keep talking about this site and with a little downtime in my work schedule, I decided to visit.

What I have found is disturbing. I am a major advocate for NOT dressing up your animals, however, once I saw this, I changed my mind. Attention to pet owners everywhere, unless you can produce such a specimen of animal cuteness, leave the pet clothes at the store. The following picture may in fact be the only exception.

Ice Cream and weightloss?

So, yesterday I was contacted from an associate of a professional partner of mine. They would like help promoting their product through women and mom blogs. The product is a mix that you mix with crushed ice and freeze. It is ice cream for weight loss. Seriously. Who wants to stop feeling guilty for eating ice cream.
I never thought this day would come? Ice cream, 150 calories, high in fiber and protein. I am going to be receiving the samples in the next week. I will let you know how my taste test goes.


I have a feeling in the future, they will want blogger's to review and use as an affiliate marketer. If you think you might want to be an affiliate or review this product, I will forward your information along. You can contact me at momsnmemos@gmail.com.

Lesson # 2: It is the little things that Matter.

As a church goer, I have my own struggles with what kind of mother and woman I should be. Where do I fit in? I think that most of us go through similar issues, and I don't know that  I have an answer yet.
However, I was thinking of the lessons that the holidays have taught me. So lesson number 2 is as follows.

Despite the fact that I am not crafty, I do not have play dates, I work full time and go to school at night. I enjoy hanging with my husband more than girls night out. This can, at times, lead to a lonely existence as a mother.

As I started into the holiday season, I started to wonder how I can  be aware and help those around me. As I am not the mother that will make pre-made cookie jars, or wrap a ribbon around a candle with a holiday poem, but I am someone who cares about others. I do want to help and assist anywhere I can.

Lesson #2 Make consistent and deliberate attempts.

I learned that the effort of saying hello, smiling to someone new, letting others know I am there for them, stopping by to say hi, this is enough. As long as my intent is pure, my acts are deliberate and I consistently try, I can influence the lives of those around me for the better, even without a red ribbon and poem attached to the candle.

As I write this down, I want you all to know, how much I love and care for you. How much I appreciate your words. Merry Christmas!
