Johnson & Johnson and Baby Shower ideas

I love Johnson's Baby products. Nothing smells as good as a baby washed in their Lavender Bedtime Bath and slathered down in the Pink baby Lotion. It's THE SMELL of babies. The Baby Oil,nothing beats it for cradle cap.
I always get Johnson's Baby products for every baby shower. Sometimes I put it in a diaper bag and sometimes in a little lined wicker basket that the new mom can use in the baby's room. It's always a much appreciated gift, as these bottles lasts for months.
Did you know Johnson's has been around since 1890? Me neither!

(See my model? I think he should be the new face of Johnson & Johnson, he's a big fan of their stuff!)

Sharing

I thought I'd share The Husband's birthday present with you.
Us being good friends and all...plus I like showing off my handsome boy.
I lovvve Etsy. I love that it supports crafty people and usually stay at home moms. Just doing what they love to do. And you can't find a more personalized gift than you can find on Etsy. These people are crazy crafty.
The man is the hardest person in the world to buy for. But I knew he'd love this more than anything when I came across it.
These are wood blocks. All I did was send her a bunch of pictures, told her I wanted black & white. I let her pick which photos to use & what ever else she thought would be cute. (because I'm indecisive like that)
I couldn't believe how great they looked when they came in. Beautiful. And it's recycled art. Can't get much better than that.
If you want to take a look at what else she does, which is ALOT her etsy address is:

***This was not a compensated post. Mandy over at her Etsy shop has NO idea who I am,
I'm sure she just knows me as the mother of the most cutest boy she's ever done photo blocks for ***

Don't Bungee Jump Naked

The newest grandson

He looks just like my daughter, except he has black hair like his daddy.
He's a chubby little cutie pie.
As much as I love my grandbabys. 4 is enough right now. 4 under 4 is alot of $$. I've always said being a granparent is more expensive than being a parent!

THE GOOD STUFF

I have found it. As far as chapped lips go anyway.
My lips always feel dry, even in the summer. I have a purse full of chap sticks, all different kinds. costing from .99 to 10.00. I'm a sucker for anything that says it will work. But nothing has so far. I get somewhere between rubbing a candle on your lips to feeling like you've been sucking on a pork chop all day.
Neosporin now has a Lip Health line of products. A daily hydration therapy with sunscreen. Their claim is to restore visibly healthier lips in just 3 days! AND an overnight renewal therapy, you put on at night for 3 nights.
My thoughts when I received it was just another thing that will not work.
I've been using it for about 5 days now and honest I'll never use anything else. It really does do what it says on the package. The first day was heavenly. I couldn't believe it was really working.
Now my daughter who is a real chap stick junkie (even more than me)she really does have a bad moment if she can't find her chap stick, is a convert. She loves the stuff too.
If you have a problem with chapped lips, consider it solved.
*It's so good I saved the empty package so I'll be sure to get the right stuff when I run out. That's when you know it's good*

Wanna Hear Something Hilarious?

I'm not the kind of foster / parent who knows every SW or sucks up to the director. In general, a dfacs* "rat". You know, kinda lika a mall rat. I'm not into the whole politic thing that some foster / parents are.
I take care of the kids and you (the sw) does what you're supposed to do (in theory)
All of you know I do my fair share of gripping around here.
This week we had a foster Asso* meeting. When they did nominations for the offices, I was nominated for president! HA. I actually laughed out loud. But when the voting was done, I wasn't laughing anymore. They actually voted ME in as president. The thought never crossed my mind, I'd actually get a nomination, let alone win.
What do I do now? Maybe I can do something to make things a little easier for the foster parents. But what?

Why on earth would they vote for ME?
