Yesterday during my daily read of the handful of blogs that keep me entertained. I came across this Evenflo X Sport Convertible Stroller. Innocent as the ad may seem, I scrolled down to read the comments but then the Frequently Bought Together section is what caught my eye........are there parents out there on to something I don't know about???? you be the judge.

Pretty Feet?
Whew that was a long break, good thing I didn't ask you to hold your breathe until I came back. I wouldn't have anyone reading the filters in my mind. Let's get back to business here and fill you in on a piece of the day in the current life of a Mom and Her Girl.
A few weeks back just after my move was complete and boxes were still in the un-packing stages my sister in-law opened her new endeavor, LUV Pedicures. It could not come at a better time because my feet needed to be un-thawed from the hellish winter we have endured here in Michigan, not to mention I needed down time to re-group my thoughts on my new life. Then once I started to think about it I couldn't wait to get busy again because damn I have been through alot of shit the last three years! But the pedi and mani was awesome and if you ever get the chance to treat yourself to something nice I recommend going to LUV not just because we are family, but because it is a classie operation and your feet enjoy an array of techno-color lights while they soak, the feet will thank you for it trust me, and the price is reasonable.
One thing your feet won't thank you for is walking for six hours in cute open toed sandals with a wedge heal to show off the overexposed in south beach color!!
Since I have Mondays off and the weather is turning warmer we ventured out of our new condo to take in the sun, and the 75mph winds. The plan was to go to the zoo, have a picnic lunch, take in the smell of 100 plus animals feces and go home. I had called my brother wondering if him and my nephew would like to join us and he had his own plan to take in the Ford Truck plant tour. Together we devised our plans to take in both activities with kids in tow. The day went great my nephew got his fill of real live trucks being assembled and my girl got to see a couple turtles, the back side of a polar bear and take a walk through a mud puddle in her new sandals!
On the way home I decided to remove the sandals or should I say shackles of hell to unleash the pain that developed under my second from big toe, not just on one foot but both feet. I was afraid to look or touch for fear that my toes would break off of the pure thought of it. By the time I had pulled into my garage the only thing left to walk on were the heals of my feet. Have you ever tried to remove a tired toddler from their car-seat on the heals of your feet? let me tell ya it is like wrestling a small hungry bangle tiger out of a tree while standing on a three legged step stool. I eventually unloaded the car and got into the house safely and was able to soak my feet. Two days later I am still in pain and the blisters look like two eye balls on the bottom of my feet.
Let this be a lesson to all you ladies out there who are anxious to show off those toes, if your Overexposed in South Beach make sure it is bare foot, or at least sensible shoes!

New Zip Code
We are here, we are here, we are here!! The photos I am about to show you were the morning before the big move in, the place has changed considerably with furniture, photos, clothes, and food. It has been just over a week since we have been here and each night feels cozier than the night before. Morgan had two melt downs earlier this week demanding to go home and that she no longer wanted to be at the condo. No matter how I tried to explain to her we live at the condo now she needed more. It wasn't until I took her to the old house that has been gutted and left for dead with more than a few SD belongings(left behind by him not me), that she decided it was best to live at the condo that had furniture and wasn't as messy as the house she once lived in and there were toys and a big girl bed. We continue to settle in and get used to the new sounds a different place makes and the fact that we have neighbors on the other side of the wall and not 5 acres away it is becoming home and I love it. A few more refreshing changes, the grocery store is two miles away, a gallon of milk is at the corner, the tap water doesn't taste like sulfur, and the heat............the heat is natural gas and does not require a fill every two weeks along with a scraping my lower gut and wallet!
