Mommy Monday: Video Games

How young is too young to play video games?

Here is my troop. They weren't very successful at Rock Band, but they did get some daddy bonding time while mommy finished up making dinner. This doesn't happen often, but when it does I like to smile and laugh.

Have you noticed that boys play more video games than girls?

Thankful Thursday: Holiday Annoucements

First of all I want to say a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the better part of Laborlooks: my sister ASHLEY! I hope you have a wonderful birthday and year to come.


Wouldn't this be a cute shirt to have at your Thanksgiving dinner?
Maybe next year for my family, but what about your family?

I found this shirt on etsy.com HERE
The shop is called SiblingSpecialtees

How cute is that??
I love personalized gifts. So fabulous.

Are you getting ready to go see Breaking Dawn tomorrow at mightnight?

I will be missing the midnight showing. Husband is out of town.

You can't really spoil it for me, since I have read the books- but what are you most excited to see?

Special Guest Sunday: Boogie Wipes

I am sure you have all heard of Boogie Wipes... right?

Well, maybe not our number one follower, our mother. BUT, all you other moms have heard about them, right?

Boogie wipes are pretty awesome. Made by moms, these are amazing little things to have handy.

Now that I have a 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 year old, I never buy diaper wipes and the girls don't want to have a diaper wipe brushed all over their face in order to get them clean. These Boogies Wipes are in small packages that easily fit in a purse (now that I ditched the diaper bag!) or in the car.

Some of the other fabulous products that the Boogie Moms have put out are new saline wipes for adults- so go check it out on their FACEBOOK page. Look at their website HERE and best of all, check out their blog: The Business of Being a Mom http://www.thebusinessofbeingamom.com/

Funny Friday: After the Bath

My funny Friday is that my daughter came out to me last night after her bath thinking she was so big and grown up with her towel wrapped around her hair like mommy. I can't imagine a smile getting bigger than this one. She was so proud.

Thankful Thursday: Rock Paper Scissors

There are a lot of unpleasant chores around the house. Take for example last night. Last night we needed to get the kitchen floor mopped and the girls bathed. Sometimes bath time is hard and exhausting, but so is mopping the floor.

In order to make these tough decisions: trash or laundry? teeth brushed or feed the fish? diaper change or make lunches? make dinner or clean up dinner? etc. my husband and I have tried a lot of different tricks.

First of all we tried this little spinner game from a book we got at our baby shower some 5 years ago. It is hilarious and wonderful but I swear it is rigged. Obviously after it landed on mom 3 times in a row I threw it out of the room and we switched to good old fashion "rock, paper, scissors."

What do you do? Flip a coin? Predetermined chores? Switch back and forth? 1,2,3 not it?
