Bright Beginnings Formula

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have two kids and one was formula fed 100%!  I was young and just went with the flow.  I also paid big bucks for one of the national brands that was referred to me at the hospital.  That is all fine and dandy because 18 years ago, there was not a lot of competition in the formula market like there is today.

The baby formula industry is regulated by the FDA so the only real difference between the national brands and store brands is marketing.  The name brands spend money on advertising and marketing plans that, we, as parents pay for when purchasing one of these brands.  The store brands, however, meet the same FDA guidelines as the name brands and they do not spend millions marketing their product so they do not  need to inflate the cost of their product to pay for the advertising.  Sounds great to me with the way the economy has been in the last year.

You can check out   Bright Beginnings on Facebook   and if you like what you see you can buy on diapers.com!  How easy is that?  Have your babies formula shipped to your door and that is one less thing that you have to worry about as a parent!  Now if we could just get rid of the other million things that we worry about.

Day 3

Just so you all know, I am going crazy here!  Cabin fever has officially set in!  Today is day 3 with the kids home from school.  Now granted, the Knight and the Moody Teen have both been out of the house on their own but the Diva and I have been together since MONDAY!  Needless to say, we are getting on each others nerves just a little.

The beautiful sunshine is very deceiving because it is bitterly cold out there so leaving the house with my annoying sweet girl is not an option.  I hate to wish my life away but I so wish that spring would spring tomorrow.  Although, at this point if everything melted that quickly we would quickly be under water with a whole new set of problems to deal with!  Oh the humanity of it all!

The good news is that we still have power so the Moody Teen has a computer and internet access and the Diva has Playhouse Disney but they both periodically let me know that they are bored because they have nothing to do!  What is a mother to do?  This mom is tempted to bundle up and venture out for a while!  Wonder if I could make it to Common Grounds (my fav coffee shop) without freezing to death on the way?  I am sure that a Snickers Latte would make everything better!  Well, at least for a while!

Speaking of Common Grounds, here is a pic from my Instagram Project 360!  The name of the coffee pretty much sum up what I think of my kids right now how I feel!

Hope you are all safe and warm on this lovely Thursday!

The BIG One!

Well, all they hype ended up being not so bad for us.  We ended up with 2.5 inches of sleet here in cornfield central.  Don't get me wrong, I still would not want to be out on the roads so I am staying put until crews get a handle on the clean up!  Better to be safe than sorry!

I did venture out to take some pictures and almost ended up on my rear end so I cannot imagine trying to drive in it.  I did get some good pictures especially today since the sun is shining!  So I will leave you with one of my favs!  This is the only way I want to see any ice in the near future!
