Check out Kidecals Labels!

Having a kiddo means lots of stuff to keep track of and organize, places to go and plenty of opportunities for your kiddos items to get lost. This is realty! So I was looking for a fun product to help me keep track of my kiddos stuff thats durable, wont damage my items and look good. 

I heard about Kidecals and they are perfect for my needs! Have you heard of them?

They have personalized Kids Name Labels which are a must now a days and even more so now that my kiddo will be starting school this Fall. They are super durable, dishwasher safe, washing machine AND dryer safe, and they don't damage surfaces. Love it!

They have Waterproof Labels that will even be great at the beach, fun Mustache Stickers that are even chalkboard stickers! I don't know about you but I love the mustache craze going on right now.

Best part of the chalkboard labels are that you can keep reusing them and just write on them again and again for situations like a potluck, party, arts and crafts area and more!

They have Daycare Labels, personalized clothing labels, Camp Labels and more to fit all your kids needs. And with a growing boy I am sure to have plenty of fun opportunities to use them,which is funny since the creator of theses Kidecals is a mom of boys!

Have you checked out The San Antonio Symphony?

I don't know about you but my son is musical! He hears a beat and he wants to dance. He watches people playing instruments and off he goes to try to find things to mimic the music. I love it! I want to grow his love for music and help it thrive so when I heard about the San Antonio Symphony's Family Series I was intrigued. 

Have you been to a concert lately? 

I haven't and a lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't think my kiddo would sit through it. But now I feel that hes ready for this! This is a family oriented show and even has a fun before activity you can do for free called The Instrument Petting Zoo! 

The Instrument Petting Zoo is free and starts an hour before the family concert series. Its a special opportunity for children of all ages to try out and play a variety of instruments. How fun is that? Maybe your kiddo will find there calling?


Don't have any weekend plans? There is a show this weekend called Columbus and his Musical Voyages  May 19th at 2:30 pm. There will be an Instrument petting zoo so make sure you head out there for the fun!


Cant make it this weekend? Keep up to date with whats going on on Facebook or Twitter!  Hope to see you out there sharing our love for Music!

This past week has been a pretty good one besides the storm. We spent a lot of time outdoors and had fun! We chased and got chased around by a lizard. I posted 3 photos of the lizard hiding in a rose bush and a lot of people wrote to me that they couldn't find it! I felt so bad! So I am going to share where the lizard was in all 3 photos. If you haven't seen the pictures and don't want to know yet where the lizard was then dont read ahead past where I marked it! You can find all 3 pictures here not yet marked.

Garnier B.B Cream Review

Have you ever tried BB Cream? I recently got a chance to try it out Thanks to Bzz and Its working miracles with my skin!

Disclosure: I am a Bzz member and as such i receive Free products to tests and review.  All opinions are my own. Your experience with them may vary from mine. 

I have a major pain when it comes to my skin. I have eczema  My face is almost always red and bumpy and it looks like pimples on my cheek bones but its not.  I went through a lot of ways to cover it up that included bad makeup choices. As I grew up though I ended up just quitting on trying to cover it up and instead working on relieving the redness through many products. I have to be honest and say that I dont hardly ever way makeup now as a mom. So I had to make myself try real hard to do this. But Im glad I tired BB cream. It helps cover it up and makes my skin feel good. 

It was a new product to me and I have to get out there and start checking out new products like these to help my with my skins appearance. Have you tried BB cream? What did you think?

Starbox Review

I got the opportunity to try out my very own StarBox this past week. Have you tried it? It was fun! 

Disclosure: I was given this Starbox Free to review. All opinions/thoughts are my own and are in no way influenced. Your experience with this product may vary from mine. 

The first thought I had when I saw the box was how cute! It looked like a present. I opened it up and there was 4 products inside. I had never tried anything from the Starlooks brand so I was curious. 

The way the Starbox works is that every month in a cute box you will receive 3-4 FULL SIZE products to check out. The Starbox costs $15 a month and you end up saving major money with it because if you purchased the items in the Starbox separately the difference is noticeable. If you like the items then you can buy more of that product or different colors to compliment it with. 

I think its fun! Each month you get new/different products and I think its a good way to change up your look and try new things. You never know and you might like something you would have never tried. Plus if you check out there Lookbooks site they have tips on how to use there makeup and you can always check out there Youtube page for fun videos on how to's and more.

The StarBox I received had these items:

• Lash Boost Mascara base $15
• Tender gloss lipstick $11
• Mineralized powder $19
• Mint SPF Lip Balm $5

Just in one item you already got more than you would have paid for the whole box! Thats an awesome deal if I do say. I tried the mineralized powder and I can see it working good over a base. I wish I could try a skin tone instead of the one I tried which was translucent. I still liked it though, It left my skin feeling good. The mascara base is perfect since Im kinda a major mascara lover. The tender gloss lipstick is a nice shade, its goes on smoothly and is great with my complexion. My sister loved it too! The Lip balm smells so good! It feels good on your lips too!

Major plus! The items are marked cruelty Free and that makes me happy.

Have you tried StarBox? How did you like it? Or did you purchase items separately? I hope to get to try some more and build a good makeup collection.

Our weekend fun seeing The Imagination Movers at SeaWorld San Antonio!

Last weekend we woke up bright and early, hardly slept really from excitement for what the day would hold, because we were going to see The Imagination Movers at Seaworld! You see we are a Major Mover loving Family! We have been watching the show forever, know all the songs and even the dance moves. We sadly had never been able to travel to a nearby city to catch a show but when we heard that the Imagination movers where coming to Seaworld San Antonio we knew it was finally our chance to see them LIVE! The Imagination Movers were there for Seaworlds Just for Kids concert series. 

When we got to Seaworld it was rainy, more like heavy drizzle and super cloudy. Umbrellas were everywhere! But we were not going to let rain clouds get in our way of Happiness though, because we knew they were playing at Nautilus Amphitheater which is a covered theater in Seaworld so rain or shine we were there. We were not alone either. In the crowd you could spot a bunch of Imagination Mover t-shirts on kiddos and that got us even more excited. 

Once we got out wrist bands we checked out the entertainment in the area. They had a Meet Franklin booth where my kiddo took a picture with one of our favorite turtles. They had a Dance Party area and more. We grabbed a quick bite before the show and then we were ready! 

Here is my munchkin having fun at the Dance Party! 

The adults who were entertainers and leading the fun were super friendly and energetic. They were definitely not shy and knew just how to get the kids involved and in the mood to party. This was great to have so that your kiddo doesn't get bored and tired of waiting until the show starts. 

Once they opened the gates to the Amphitheater they had tables with Imagination Movers merchandise for sale. It was a dream come true... They had red blinky goggles like Mover Scotts wobble goggles , Cowboy hats like Mover Smittys, red caps like Mover Daves, light up sticks that resembled Mover Richs scribble sticks, t-shirts, posters and more fun!

We picked a seat near the middle where the stage is set up since it extends out in the middle for closer interaction with the audience (which we were hoping for).  Once the Movers came out on stage they were amazing! They had everyone in the audience singing along and dancing. 

They were very interactive! They kept walking through out the audience and reaching out to the kiddos (like mine who excitedly touched there hands) as they walked by and even ran by. They even signed a couple peoples items. I noticed them take turns and sign a childs hat. How awesome is that? They made that childs day for sure!

My Munchkin was so happy with the show that I will admit he cried when they left the stage and I told him it was done. I promised him we would see it again since luckily they were doing TWO shows this day (Lucky us) and he settled down. We went off to get wristbands for the 2nd show and took a snack break. 

This time we got a closer seat in the theater. Looking around the Audience there were many people with 2 wristbands which to me tells me that the Imagination Movers have very loyal fans in San Antonio who had to see there show twice! 

My friend Takeisha snapped up this picture of my munchkin with Mover Dave.

They played a bunch of fan favorites including one of my favorite songs "Shakable You", they sang a song for all us Mothers in the audience (many with crushes on them), "Mother In You". And they even sang A One direction song "What makes you Beautiful". They brought along Kyle and he was a great bonus to the team since he is an Excellent drummer! Him and Rich had major drummer fun, so much that broken drum sticks were involved (that were quickly snatched up by audience members). Rich even gave a set of drum sticks to an audience member who seemed beyond happy to get them. 

The day was awesome at Seaworld even cloudy as it was, my munchkins feet hurt from all the dancing and fun but it was worth it and The Imagination Movers are even more awesome in person than we ever could imagine! Now any time my son is watching them on Tv he can brag that he saw them LIVE too! The memories will live on in all the awesome pictures we got that day. And as for the Just for Kids Concert series... I think Seaworld needs to change the name to Just for Kids and Kids at Heart concert series because the kid in me was super happy. 

Did you see the Imagination Movers concert at Seaworld or did you catch another concert there? Or have you ever seen a Movers concert in your area? How much fun was it?
