Terry Treetop "Where is my home?" Book Review.

We are definitely big fans of the terry treetop series in this house. My daughter Avery LOVES them!



This one is just as well written and easy to follow for young ones as the last few we have read by this author.



This one explores the curious nature of a child, and how something as being curious about a beautiful butterfly can lead them astray to where they find themselves lost.


In this story, you follow terry treetop on an adventure "Finding his way home." He meets a ton of interesting creatures along the way, trying new foods "Thanks to being lost at lunch time." Each and every friend he meets along the way is kind and caring,

finally he comes across a friend who tells him how to get home .... But what it really takes is his favorite all time love "CLIMBING TREES" to truly find his way home.

Once he makes it home he sees again the beautiful butterfly that had led him on his lost adventure. But decides this time, to stay home.

Really is a cute story for kids. My 7 year old thought it was adorable. Her favorite parts where when terry tried different foods and realized they were not for him.

We are big fans of terry treetop, I am pretty sure we always will be.

A strange dream

A dream type diary entry ....... I would like to look this up on dream moods later to see what it means. If it means anything.

The Dream

 

I’m in a room … surrounded by people. We are drinking, Something sweet, and pink. Was delicious. Next thing I know there is a lady who makes another drink, I go to down it like the first one. But this one was different. Pungent. Like a shot of soy sauce. Wasn’t as tasty. I asked her what she put in it … she said something, I think she said papaya, I don’t know. But it seemed legit in the dream. It might not have been papaya, but it was something that started with a p.

Bradly cooper is standing next to me … he is not there with me, but I am getting to know him through someone else. “I say “Balls! I think I dropped something, but I am no longer sure. It has been awhile since I have been awake.

He copies what I say … there is laughter. It is a friendly environment. But I do not really know anyone.

Im skyping …. I don’t know the person. He is asking, do you like golf? I explain I am a  mini golf girl … because I suck at golf. Always lose my balls. “Maybe that’s where I said balls, I dropped something then.”

Either way ….. I am in a middle of an empty room, people are ALL AROUND WATCHING. I can not see them, but I know they are there. I know they are watching. There Is a faceless man …. He is in the next room dancing with a girl. I know this man, but yet I don’t.  I am dancing alone. I FEEL MY ANGER GROW … he is ruining it.

In the dream … he is supposed to be my dance partner. I do not understand why he is dancing with her when he knows he should be with me.

I’m in the center of the room … spinning in circles. Faster and faster. I can feel myself getting dizzy, I know I am about to take a tumble. Just as I begin to fall, I feel his hand. He twirls towards me. There is a lovely dance. Swung in the air in twirls. The dance itself feels like love. He tilts me over for a kiss, I hear the words of the song. “I will always love you.”

“When I woke, this song was bugging the shit out of me, I knew it, but can not place it. TURNS OUT it was Miley cyrus WRECKING BALL.”

Either way …. I am suddenly outside, the rain is pouring, I am placing a child in a car, his or her mother … saying goodbye.

Lightning, I look up… I am surrounded by lightning. I grab the hand of this man and lead him to safety, to watch the storm pass.

 

Next thing I know, I am walking into the bathroom, there is nick. He has a tissue to his face. He has cut his face shaving. He removes the tissue to see if the bleeding has stopped. There is a huge strip of flesh missing from his face. Its gushing blood. I tell him … LEAVE IT THERE, Do not take it off. Its going to take awhile to heal. But he would be fine.

 

Then I woke. Nick woke me up to tell me he was off to work. SUCH A STRANGE DREAM.

2 Hyaluronic Acid Review

If you know my blog or have happened across it once or twice, then you know how big of a fan I am of vitamin C serums, What I didn't know, is how much more I could love them when combining them with a hyaluronic acid serum.




First off ... I am a sucker for packaging, and this stuff comes in the cutest little bottle!



Second, with all things, I notice smell first. Right off the bat I noticed this brand had a smell stronger than ANY, I have ever tried. and I have tried a ton of brands. "I will say, that I have never not liked a brand." However I am also saying that this brand stands alone as my go to. Okay, back to smell. I had 3 people including me in this house smell this stuff and I got three different answers. I guess it all depends on the nose. My husband "Who works in aviation" Thinks it smells like electrical fire. My daughter "14" Thinks it smells like baby dolls .... I have to admit that I will go with my daughter on this one. Grab a new baby "Not the new ones where they make everything smell powder fresh, but the OLD TIME DOLLS we used to play with." Smells like a plastic of sorts. Not bad though.

Next is the consistency of the acid serum. It is like Defibrillator gel (the gel they put under the stickers before attaching wires to your heart.) Or for you pervs out there like me ... "Pink, the lube for her." Not jelly like KY ... but not thin enough as oil. OKAY, I GOT IT ... Think Aloe in the squeeze bottle!

The consistency kind of threw me. I wasn't sure how that was going to feel on my face, but I gave it a go anyway. LOVE IT, feels like nothing. At first you get this burst of cool gel on your face that dissolves into nothing. If it wasn't for the fact that I have their Vitamin c serum to go on top, I would have left my face as is and not added anything. My skin felt so fresh.

Their vitamin C serum also has a stronger scent than most ... SMELLS like sweet bubbles. I actually really love the smell of it. It goes on like water and dries rather quickly.

Now ... why do I like these together?

I had a bad reaction to a face cleaner "Some cheap dollar store brand." My skin was dry and flakey. I was using Vitamin E oil to moisturize ... but even that wasn't helping. I literally had dry patches all over my face. I was kind of embarrassed to be seen.

I used this stuff ... I admit it took about 3 days for me to see a change. But those flaky patches went rather fast. AFTER WEEKS of trying to moisturize them away. This stuff just took them away like they were nothing. My face had been feeling dry ..... even vitamin e oil did not make my face feel unstiff. This stuff ... even before the vitamin c serum felt so moisturized. So nice and refreshed. I didn't feel I needed the vitamin c. However I used it anyway, because vitamin c serums have been keeping my pimple days down to a minimum. Not really willing to go back to those days.

All in all .. this stuff is amazing! I absolutely love it. I use it and will continue to!

The Amazing Miracle Cleanse Review.

Being a lady ... this is quite embarrassing. HOWEVER, for those out there who might be suffering from, constipation, bloating or gas and have not found a product that will work for you. I am here to tell you about one that does 100 % of what it says that it will.



This has also helped with weight loss for those who were interested in knowing if that part on the label held true.



It is a 15 days cleanse. You take two capsules for 15 days. I am here to say ... SAVE SOME MONEY. Only take 1 pill for 15 days. It is so strong, you only need one pill. Then you will have 15 more for a second cleanse a few months later.

Day one ... I was bloated, embarrassingly gassy and hopeful it would work, so I popped the pill. Nothing that night. I went to sleep, thinking ... I will need a few days worth to get things going. NOPE .... the very next morning. I was good to go. "No need to go into gross details." But it worked. It cleans the pipes. if you know what I mean.

I did not get cramps, or any stomach pain .... but I was regular. Which for me was new ... sometimes I would go 4 to 8 days without going at all.

I noticed my stomach flatten a bit "So did my husband, who now makes jokes that I didn't need to lose weight ... I was just full of s***. Sigh ... MEN! They can be so embarrassing.

I did lose weight .... a total of 11 pounds in 15 days. So, it does work for that.

SOME THINGS I LEARNED NOT TO DO WITH THESE .......

Do not enjoy salsa and chips, and do not enjoy oreos and milk. That was a no no. Instant bathroom issues. I would suggest eating healthy. Not too much fruit. and drink LOTS of water. When I did start to feel crampy, a glass of water did the trick to help.

all in all, I am not gassy. I do no feel bloated and I am regular, which is good for health. So these get a thumbs up big time. NOT TO MENTION the 11 pound weight loss is pretty awesome too.

TheraRelief Review.

After a long restless night of no sleep ... greeted with the agony of a stiff pain filled neck *due* to sleeping wrong during the few moments I found to rest. I was BEYOND happy to find this stuff sitting in my mail box today.



Lets start with the basics of what I noticed first.




SMELL! I always, ALWAYS notice smell first. It says that it is odor less, however this stuff smells a lot like crayons. Or silly putty. Play-doh maybe.  It is not over powering, and its not terrible. But it does in fact have an odor. "I didn't mind it." It's not a scent that makes you recoil. BESIDES....When you hear what I have to say next. You will not care about the smell.

Does it massage away pain? I am going to say yes. I was literally complaining about my neck 7 minutes prior to using this stuff on my neck. "Grant you, it wasn't the pain where if you moved your neck to one side it felt like it was breaking - More of a dull ache." But pain none the less.

Massaged the stuff in ... neck is fine. Noticing pain in my elbows due to the fact that I do not hold the dumbbell correctly when exercising. Going to try it on that ... and tell you if I think it will work for all pain.

YES! -- I realize you can not see the time lapse, but I am going to say that I can bend my elbow. No pain ... rubbed it on my shoulder and side of neck as well ... It feels fine.

I am noticing that it doesn't last LONG .... it says once a day. But my neck started hurting again so I applied a little more.

The thera relief has the consistency of pudding ... literally feel like I was dipping my fingers in pudding. Feels like regular lotion when applying it. No mask like feeling afterwards. "Like with some creams you can feel a thick layer. not with this stuff."

I did use this on an old knee injury from my track days .... This stuff works better on my knee than icy hot or those heating pads. So I think I will continue to get it for bad knee days alone. "Smells so much better than icy hot." And BONUS my cat doesn't try to attack me when she smells this stuff. Other creams , I become a victim of rage.

I like this stuff. Specially for my knee. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Garcinia Cambogia Review.

I do not think that I will ever blog a negative thing about the garcinia cambogia pills.

ONE: I always feel so energetic when I take them. It boosts my mood.
TWO: I do see a change in my weight when I take them as suggested.
THREE: Because really FOR ME, there isn't anything negative to say.

It is not secret that I am constantly looking for that magic pill to help me get back to where I want to be. Before the steroids, before the kids, before they brought back twinkies!

There is no magic pill.

It really does come down to diet and exercise. So I will not lie and say that these are magic and you will lose a ton of weight. Because that is not what these do.

What the do, DO ... is help you control your hunger. Honestly before taking these, I would eat and eat and eat, Even if I was full. Because I am a food lover and food tastes good. But these, they do not allow you to do it. IF YOU IGNORE the message that is being sent to your body ... you will regret it. I ate a couple of oreo's after knowing that I wasn't hungry ... because I wanted dessert. HUGE MISTAKE. I felt bloated and icky for a few hours after.  SO DO NOT IGNORE the full feelings just because you want to taste something.

These are great at teaching you how to read your bodies hunger signs. They make it impossible to over eat. IN TURN help you lose weight. These are a stepping stone, its really up to you to allow it to help you.

STRESSED to the MAX

I have never in my recent life, felt as stressed as I feel right now. "I am sure there have been times that equal or even surpass the stress levels of today, but today ... I can only look back so far."

Okay ... so its no surprise to moms out there who might be reading this, But SUMMER, Brings MESS! and that mess from three kids who have seem to neglected to gain the ability to pick up after themselves .... is a constant mess.

I am one of those people who have to do things in a certain order, or I freak out.  "My list."

Clean the house

Get all the stuff for the garage sale ready and clean

Finish the laundry so I can go through it, that way I can bag some for the "Donate box at food lion"

call around and get quotes from plumbers so we can tie in to the sewer company

Call the water company to see if we can arrange some payment deal because a 200 dollar tap fee on top of the money we have to spend tying in, is too much at the moment, ESPECIALLY with back to school.

Finish editing so I can publish

Figure out how to get britt back and forth to marching band practice.

There is a lot more to that list ... but this is just to show a point.

First thing, I did not get all the laundry done. I barely got my own laundry done. I am literally bumming around in sleep pants because my time is so limited.

Cleaning - WAS going well, and then my AC broke in 95 degree weather :( bringing my motivation to an absolute HALT!
"I got it done decently so, as in ... enough to feel okay with getting the stuff from upstairs that we planned on putting out at the garage sale."

I realize that a garage sale should be easy! Got some stuff? Put a tag on it, set it out and see if people want to buy the junk you no longer care about. BULL! A lot more complicated than that. Or maybe I just made it more complicated than it had to be. I just know that I was freaking the fuck out about it.
Not to mention I am shy ...
So when car after car and people after people flooded in, I literally got Closter phobic.

That was finally over ... Didn't reach goal on it, but didn't really care. Made a few extra bucks by selling what we would have eventually just donated or thrown away later.

Then comes getting the AC fixed .. called Monday when it broke, guy said sometime Friday, Friday afternoon came, NO GUY, NO CALL ... so I called and he was like OH YEAH, I FORGOT. you forgot? REALLY?? WTF ..... but I was like okay, well, I will forget to give you good marks when I call the warranty company you were hired through and get you taken off the list of contractors they work with, seeing how you are incompetent at being professional.
OKAY ... I didn't say that ... but I thought it. and I would have reported him.
I said it was fine  ... he came late that evening. It got fixed ... and I forgot how aggravated I was about it all because finally I had cool air.

Then comes PLUMBERS! ... My freaking world FIRST BITCH! I do not think that it is fair for a county to lay sewer lines in a residential area ... THEN FORCE them to tie in. I was perfectly happy with my septic tank! SECOND BITCH, now, not only will I have a water bill but it will be doubled thanks to sewer. OH, and there is a separate fee if you water your grass.

So my husband talked to the guy from trinity plumbing. Quoted nick at 950. WITH the permit. We didn't like it. still quite high for us. WE DON'T HAVEA  LOT OF MONEY. as anyone who isn't rich with more than one kid can tell you. CALLED AROUND and was not willing to pay the 1500 we were quoted. I was so fed up looking , I just went with tony. WHO this morning says, I am sorry ... I looked at the wrong house when I quoted you that 50. Yours is actually farther away so it will be an extra 2 hundred plus 50 for the permit .... ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? I do not have that! I don't. School starts in less than 21 days ... I still have to get clothes, backpacks, pens, paper, lunch boxes. ETC. I can't afford this shit. NOT TO MENTION that Christmas is just around the corner!

AND ON TOP OF PAYING THEM TO TIE IN .... I have an automatic 200 tap fee added onto my water bill.
I COULD FUCKING CRY!

Spoke to the water company ... they are somewhat willing to work with me on it. They will let me pay it in installments, but if I do not do it on their exact dates ... water gets shut off, and will not be turned back on, until all fees are met. PLUS A RECONNECT FEE.

basically ... I am paying 1500 anyway :(

Nick is having a bitch of a time at work ... so leaving work to take britt to marching band is a hassle, one in which he can get in trouble for and who knows. EVENTUALLY FIRED FOR ... We don't have a second car so I can't do it. ARRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH! "

I would sit down and edit ... but right now I am so frustrated ... I wouldn't see the many mistakes that are no doubt there.

I just wish the world would stop for a moment ...I need things to slow down. CALM DOWN, and for fucking once in my life  START FALLING INTO PLACE in a good way.

I'm so worn the hell out .....................

So that's me, I sure am hoping that who ever came across this is having a better time. If not, feel free to bitch and complain to me about it. I'll grab some ice cream and we can have a pity party!
