Mommy Daughter Date- High Tea at the Botanical Garden

We arrived at the beautiful botanical garden in Illinois on a nice sunny day. We were dressed in our new pretty dresses and were excited about our "high tea" date.

We soon poured our tea and added some sugar cubes and waited for our friends. We ate some little desserts and got a little goofy with the photo booth.

We also made some fun tissue paper flowers and then had to strike another pose for the camera.

After that we went and toured the greenhouse and outside area. It was beautiful!!! The many different plants and flowers were stunning.

Dear Selah,

I hope you find this letter one day when you are older and remember the fun day we had. The tea cups were white with gold and red in them, you didn't like your tea very much and you added 3 sugar cubes. I will remember your adorable star dress you wore and your cute pigtails and of course your fashion glasses. I know you were adorable and the truth is I felt pretty as well with my new hair cut and cause you loved my dress. This date was sponsored by the girl scouts and it is such an honor to go do these things with you! I love our dates!!!

xoxoxox Love, Mom

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
