Top of the List Tuesday- Tummy Fix

Ok, to be honest, it isn't like me to spend much money on "beauty" products. I happened to be buying some bottles and formula on target.com, and I wondered over to the beauty products. As I was browsing, I stumbled upon this product

I read the reviews and couldn't believe the great things people were saying about it so I bought some! :D 

I can honestly say, it works! It supposed to give the tummy and hip area elasticity. You know that joyful "mush" your tummy turns into after having kids?  My stomach is honestly tighter (no not skinnier! Lol) it doesn't make you flatter or thinner... But it does give your skin that smooth feeling it used to have! I use it at least twice a day and let it completely dry before dressing. 

Have you tried this or similar products? How did you like it?
 

Miss me?

Ok, guys! I know you probably thought I dropped off the face of the planet.... But I'm back!!! I have to admit, I have had a hard time stretching my time with 3 little ones running around. If I'm not doing something for/with the kids, I am cleaning, cooking or making flags. I stay up until the wee hours of the morning and wake up early everyday... Ok maybe not too early but considering I only sleep, on average, 6 hours a night...it's early.

I guess being the coolest mom on the planet takes up quite a bit of time too. We have annual passes to dinosaur world. It is just a few miles away, so sometimes we just go pick up lunch somewhere and eat with the dinosaurs. You may think that's a waste of time, but my boys think its awesome! 

 

I have to admit, I am getting a little stressed and maybe even a little burned out. I guess spending the entire day out in the sun with my family yesterday spoiled me and now I don't want to work! Ha! 

Today was super productive though! I completely spring cleaned the boys room and rearranged. It smells so good and now all three boys can sleep in one room. My husband and I have shared our room with at least one child for the last 4 1/2 years! As soon as the Coopster gets in his crib, we will finally have peace and quiet! 

It is quickly approaching 1:00 am though, and I am lying on the couch with Reid asleep beside of me. Are tomorrow's flags painted? Nope. I guess I will be waking up even earlier to paint my flags. Sigh. It is totally worth it! I love when Reid falls asleep on me!

When do I have time to make flags??  I work when the kids are asleep at night, watching tv, napping... Just whenever I can, really. 

Ok, enough rambling. But you asked how I get time to do crafts with all three boys... So there you have it!
