When flu season comes around, i start to worry about the smell of my carpet. my kids are always sick and throw up on my carpet, or have diaper leaks. after the clean up the smell is still there, and air freshners don’t help. Carpet fresh eliminates any carpet odor problems, and keeps your house smelling fresh. i got to try out the fresh scent, and it was a lifesaver. flu season was no longer a worry for me.

i don’t get it

February 27, 2009 - brandy3 1 Comment

i keep seeing advice on other blogs about how to make yourself a bigger blogger. (i guess you could say that). it just seems like the blogosphere revolving around mothers, has become nothing but bitching.

i’m not a great blogger, i don’t get a lot of visitors and i don’t have companies overloading me with reviews. i have only been blogging a year and i started becuase i wanted to connect with other moms, and share my parenting. I started doing contest listings because i thought it would bring me traffic, and it seemed like a lot of people only cared about contests. i don’t know if thats true or not, and i’m not going to judge anyone.

i love contests and i do enter a lot, but it’s not because it’s something free, it’s usually something i need or my children can use. something i might otherwise not be ablt to afford.

anyways, i love to review products and give my 100% honest opinion. but if i never got another review to do again,it’s not the end of the world. i’m here to share my experiances with you, the reader. reviews and giveaways are just a way to give my readers more.

i don’t appreciate bloggers rejecting other bloggers when they ask for pr info. I understand a lot of people have been doing this forever andworked hard to get the reviews they do. If a blogger is contacting you to get some info on that. give them some, you don’t have to give them your pr contacts, just some friendly advice on how they can do better.

if your doing a great review, don’t rub it in. reviews of t.v’s and laptops are nice, exspensive toys etc. but don’t mention it everyday in posts.

there are a lot of great networking sites out there. i am part of a couple, but i feel like if there are companies contacting you on their own for reviews, then maybe you should let some new bloggers have a chance at the networking sites. some have stopped accepting people because they are to full.

domains? should you have to own your own domain to get companies to contact you? your more serious about it if you own your own domain. i don’t think so. i think it’s the person not the blog or domain. i will probably never own my own domain. not because i don’t want one. i can’t afford one. i’m sorry but i’m a mom with 3 kids me and hubby are both back in school. i can’t afford even a dollar for a domain.

i don’t get this, do people blog to become famous? bloggers interviewing stars, joining up with big companies, having your face plastered everywhere.

it makes you wonder if people are doing all these blogging events all the time. how much time do they actually spend with family their kids?

like i said i’m not judging anyuone and i’m not picking anyone out, these are just some of the things i see going on, and i don’t get it

andromeda’s attic stroller bag review and giveaway

February 27, 2009April 18, 2014 - brandy3 10 Comments

Andromeda’s attic stroller bags make going out so much easier. these custo designed handmade bags, snaps onto strollers. I t can hold anything, from cell phones, diapers, wallets, even sippy cups.

I love my bag. it’s perfect for my kids sippy cups, so i don’t have to dig them out of the diaper bag. i even keep a small thing of wipes in it, for boogies, or they pick up something unsanitary. i absolutely hate having to dig things out of my diaper bag.

it’s even convienant to put on a shopping cart. just drop your keys in there have your cell phone. coupons and your list, all available and handy to you. i hate having to get to the check out and dig everything out of my purse.

Andromeda’s Attic stroller bags were designed and created by a busy mom of three who needed a quick way to access her things while on the go with her kids.

the outside of the bags are made with a decorative cotton, and a super soft ultrasuede lining.

embarassing mommy moments

February 26, 2009 - brandy3

as my kids get older they get into more trouble. today at the store i was just thinking about some of them and thought it would make a good post.

my three year old jetting through the store and me having to chase after her. other people look at me like i’m crazy and i want to scream, but thats a toddler for ya.

my two yr old sitting in the airport, blurts out the word F####. yes i know i blame myself and hubby for her knowing that word.

my 14 month old falling asleep in the shopping cart and having people comment that his head is laying on the bar of the shopping cart. hey my son is 30 pounds and i can barely carry him.
