Attachments include a brush, lint brush and a extension attachment for those hard to reach places like underneath my couch.  I also love how portable this was when I was cleaning my SUV.  Isabella gets really antsy when I’m at the car was so this was perfect for vacuuming the car at home.  The Dyson Handheld DC31 is stamped with Approval by Baby-Momma!

I will pay millions to get out of this contract and have the iphone with another company. I actually had Verizon for years prior to me getting married (the biz pays for our phones) and NEVER eva eva had a problem with the service.  And if something would ever happen with my phone, I could go to any Verizon store and buy or replace my old phone.  At&t makes you find a branch and travel all over the world! (not really but they don’t make it easy…had to do it twice! grrr!)

Anyhow…check out my video with Guest Host, My husband “aka” Baby-Daddy of the iphone 4g.  Great features, amazing guality and it’s honestly a mini mac in your hand.  Love it!

When researching, I was looking for a rail that was going to be easy and great for me to pack in a bag for our weekends down the shore during the summer.  THESE ARE AWESOME!  For easier packing and handling these bumpers are cut in half so you can just place them in a round or square duffel bag.

Magic Bumpers works best when placed directly on top of the mattress with all other bedding (fitted sheet or mattress cover) should go over the bumper. This will minimize any movement of the bumper.  Magic Bumpers can also be used for Infant Co-Sleeping (L-Shape or U-Shape) or as a Bed Divider.  Magic Bumpers have been a success in helping our transition to a “big girl bed” and are Stamped with Approval by Baby & Momma!

We then try to think of what I have changed that could have caused this blistering?  The only thing I have switched/changed in her routine were her diapers.  We started to use White Cloud Training pants.  After having the feeling these were the Issue, I stopped using them.  We have thankfully not been back to the doctors about this concern for about 3 weeks. But, I am appalled by what I am hearing from other moms having the same issue as me with Pampers Dry Max.  Although, I’ve never used these diapers I am wondering if both companies are using something in these diapers to cause this rash.  If you take a look at these  two facebook pages, Pampers bring back OLD CRUISER/SWADDLERS AND Boycott New Pampers, there are a TON of complaints.  So many I truly feel there should be a recall!!!!   I am shocked at some of the responses I am hearing that moms have heard from P&G after complaining.

I am also wondering if any other moms are having this problem with White Cloud diapers.  We use Target Brand Diapers for regular use but when I started to Potty train I was using Pull-ups. We were going through them so fast, I then switched to Whitle Cloud because of the cost.  I really feel these diapers were what was causing the blister like rash and even told my Pediatrician the same.  The pictures on this facebook page are EXACTLY what Isabella’s rashes looked like.  When describing them to people and our Pediatrician, we said they were like open blisters that formed overnight.  I don’t want this to happen to any more babies and we need to find a way to fix this issue.  Our poor children should not being going through such pain and after weeks of going to our Pediatrician and them giving us the run around telling us that Isabella’s AWEFUL rash is eczema, I have come across these facebook pages and articles about Pampers Dry Max Diapers causing what moms are calling “Chemical Burns”.   We need to figure this out.  Please let me know or comment below if anyone else if having this concern too.  I really don’t know what to do but with this many complaints and issues of the same occurrence, something needs to be done!

I really don’t know how to start this post without sounding hypocritical but do any other moms think these outfits are a little to revealing for this age?  The reason why I sound hypocritical is because we wore outfits like this when cheering in the NFL. I now understand why my family and other families of my former teammates freaked out when our calendars were revealed or saw what we wore on the field.

I am going to be honest, I was NOT modest at all!!! I didn’t care what other people thought and how I was perceived. I still don’t now.  I know who I am as a person and that’s all that mattered to me.  If people thought different, they obviously didn’t know me.  BUT It’s a complete different ball game now that I’m a mom.  I think a lot different with everything! I don’t want Isabella to dress like that and will not let it happen when she lives under my roof. All of my stuff will be in a locked box until she is 25!   I regret nothing and experienced a ton….. 24 young professional living in a big city and was a adult.

The big questions here is where do you stop and draw the line with your kids.  I really have no idea and have not reached that point yet.  I say now I would never let my daughter wear this outfit but then 8 years from now (i’m guessing these girls are around the age of 10 :/) when she’s involved in dance, how do you tell the instructor, or whoever decided on these outfits,  that your daughter will not be preforming in this routine because of the outfits. Assuming, they are not all this revealing.

All my Cheerleader buddies who either have a background in dance or experienced this with me please comment and let me know your thoughts. Having a background in dance I would love to know if this is normal. Is this what I should expect if Isabella is going to get involved in dance?  Also, if your a mom and experiencing this.  I want to know!!!  I am seriously torn here. Everyone has their own opinions and this post could get very controversial but I am interested in hearing others thoughts on this.  For those of you who knew me before becoming a mom, you know how much fun I liked to have and most would think I would care less about my daughter wearing something like this but that’s not the case.  I want Isabella to be respected and get attention for her accomplishments and brain, not her beauty and for what she’s wearing.

**Note: These girls are fantastic dancers. I wish I had half the dancing skills they do! AMAZING!

Healthy Self Esteem will help children handle conflicts easier and resist negative pressure.  How do we teach our children to be their own person and not a follower.  How do we inspire our children to have this confidence with everything we are surrounded by in the 21st century?  Dove’s Real Beauty Campaign features real women, not models, advertising Dove’s firming cream.
