Sarcasm and Sass Mom

Today my baby turned 9. Where has the time gone? I swear last week he just came home from the hospital, all little and wrinkly and orange, and now he is a real little man. For Landon's birthday we had a tie dye party with a photobooth. We had a lot of friends and family come over and had a little bbq. We had chips and dip, a fruit platter with dip, baked beans, chicken, pasta salad and hot dogs. The food was delicious and everyone loved a new dip recipe i tried, that i'll be sharing at the end. The kids spent a lot of time playing outside, and digging "for treasure" in the dirt in my yard, lol. Landon had a cool tie dye cake, yellow cake with cookies and cream filling. It was sooooo good! Landon got some awesome presents, his favorites of which were his bike and his new TMNT sweatshirt. The thing the kids all liked best (besides the cake) was the photobooth. I did the first one last year at my graduation BBQ, and it was a huge hit. This year i bo...

The awesome product i am reviewing today is the IPhone holder SiliGuy. SiliGuy is made of top quality silicon, flexibly & securely fitting numerous devices and has the ability to be use almost anywhere.Easy-flex arms and legs puts control of position in your hands. You can bend the arms and legs to fit any phone, not just an Iphone. The hanging "head" allows you to hang the phone in your car, on a towel rack in the bathroom, on your machine at the gym, on your bike or motorcycle, on the charger for your phone, or use it leaning against something to keep your phone upright.   This little product is cute and innovative.

It does say IPhone in the name of the product, but it fits my smaller Samsung with ease, and it fit my friends Iphone slim perfectly as well, even with the big o...

In light of the recent video that has come to light showing ex-ravens player Ray Rice knocking then fiance, current wife Janay Palmer unconscious in a elevator, i have seen a lot of people asking "why did she still marry him?" and "why do woman stay with men that beat them?" I'd like to take a moment to offer some insight, as a survivor of domestic violence myself. The day i was married, sept 2nd of 2005, 8 months pregnant and so naive, is the day my ex-husband first hit me. One of my male family members had said something incredibly rude to him, which caused us to argue after the wedding and reception. I made the "mistake" of defending that while my uncle was wrong, he said what he said because he loved me. I didn't even see it coming when he backhanded me. I locked myself in the bathroom, holding my stomach, thinking of my son, and sobbing. But he apologized...he was stressed, hurt by what had been said to him, and so sorry. He worked hard ...
