Living with Adult Dyslexia

Living and Blogging with Adult Dyslexia

So I have a small little secret.  Though I’m sure those of you who read me regularly probably won’t be surprised by this announcement.  I am dyslexic. There I said.  I haven’t mentioned it on the site before. I didn’t want any of you to think I was using it as an excuse for my [...]

Playing with Pinypon

pinypon

A couple of weeks ago we were sent a set from Pinypon to review. In 2009 FAMOSA redesign and relaunch the Pinypon brand of mix and match dolls.  With homes, cars, boats, apartments, a mall and even a hotel there is some much to encourage “pretend” play.   These mix and match dolls insure that they’ll  never [...]

For the past few months Monica Lindstrom has been covering the Jodi Arias trial for HLN and a number of  local Phoenix networks.  I always have a million questions for her, but it just so happens that she’s a BFF so I can ask her anytime.  Many of you aren’t as lucky as I am so I [...]

Fashion, Teacher Appreciation and Educating Kids

Beads for learning

I am a jewelry minimalist. I always have my ring on and when I head out I’ll throw on 1 or 2 other items.  A necklace, bracelet or another ring.  I am a strong believer of less is more. Last Thursday the Stefanie from Ooph.com introduced me to The Leakey Collection and now I am in love! [...]

Happy Mama, happy kids! Silk Latte is making that happen #TasteSilk

Silk Latte

It is no secret that I am not a morning person. I spend the morning rushing around barking orders, begging and pleading for everyone to get ready. Once I’ve loaded everyone up in the car I beg for silence. I hate talking or evening listening to anyone in the morning. Just a little silence please? [...]

How to clean your disgustingly dirty carseat.

I swear to you Ellie’s baby stuff was never as dirty as Zach’s.  I don’t know if it’s because she was the first and I was just better at cleaning up after her or if it’s because Zach’s a gross boy. As I was putting Zach in his carseat the other day I nearly died [...]

Perfect Portions helping me be a better Mom! #QuakerEpicAdventures

  I’ll be the first to admit that I could get up earlier in the mornings, and I could probably be a bit more organized. Let’s face it, that just not going to happen. My mornings have always been crazed and timed to the very last second. Kids didn’t change that. I need a quick, easy, and healthy breakfast [...]

So my next pick for Mother’s Day is  the new beats pill from Beats by Dr. Dre I have secretly been wanting a cool pair of Beats by Dr. Dre.  I just haven’t had the nerve to go in and buy something that cool for myself.  I don’t know if I’m cool enough. Then I got an email from [...]

Hey Dads, let’s talk about Mother’s Day!

I’ve  said it before and I’ll say it again, a vacuum cleaner is not a gift.  It is a household appliance.  You buy it because your family needs a vacuum cleaner!  DUH! Through out today I’m going to share a few of my favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas. Let’s start with one of my favorite [...]

You still have time to stop and smell the flowers in Carlsbad

IMG_7530

Actually the Ranunculus, which are the beautiful flowers you see bloom on in this Carlsbad field, don’t have a smell.  The means, no bees! They pollinate using the ocean breeze.  How cool is that? Last week Ellie class had a field trip up to the Carlsbad Flower Fields and it was beautiful! You’re not to late!  The [...]

You can now try it before you buy (Lots Of) it with Goodies Co.

Recently Goodies Co. asked if they could sponsor a post here on Rock On Mommies.  Just like all the other companies that have had sponsored posts on Rock On Mommies I did a little research before saying yes.  When I first read that they were another box of the month company I rolled my eyes, but [...]

Finally, stylish kids clothing! You know you wanna Peek…

I have never been a huge fan of kids clothing.  With Ellie I was constantly on the look out for clothing that didn’t have princesses, unicorns, and other characters on her clothing.   With Zach it’s been even harder.  So many clothing companies will make a cute polo or t-shirt and then stick some uninspired [...]
