Easter 2013....#WordlessWednesday

I love Easter.  I love the reason we celebrate, I love the bright colors, and I love taking pictures of my kids in their new clothes.  It makes me smile.  Hope you all had a lovely Easter too.

Wordless Wednesday....High Style

Don't all 5 year olds play Jewels (Zen version) and wear beatsbydre and accessorize with packing bubbles.  Just mine?  Oh okay.....

I'm thinking she's ready for the runway....That hair is everywhere.  When the seasons change around here our dry hair struggles.  Good thing she is so fashionable!

Two Tips for Killer Abs

Do more of this

And less of this

Just sayin....
Shape Magazine has some great tips for this in their March 2013 edition.  You know because we are all trying to get ready for swimsuit season.  I personally love LeanMoms.Com.  But seriously there is no secret; eat less and more healthy and add some cardio and crunches and you will be amazed at the results!

Firmoo Glasses Review

When Firmoo contacted me about trying out a pair of their glasses I was thrilled.  Although I don't wear glasses my husband does and he is always in need of a new pair.  So we went to their site and picked out a great pair for him to try out.
He has been wearing them for about 10 days and he LOVES them.  They fit well, the prescription is correct, and they look great on him.  Well see for yourself.

The glasses shipped quickly and safely.  They came with a hard and soft carrying case, a cleaning rag, and mini tools for fixing loose screws or parts.  I loved that because I just thought the tools were really cute!  
My husband says the only thing he doesn't love is sometimes after wearing the glasses all day they are a little difficult to clean all the oils off.  But with a little elbow grease they do come clean.
I personally think they are very flattering and love how they look.  Of course I am a little biased ;)

Firmoo has a large variety of prescription, non-prescription, and sunglasses to choose from.  They also have an awesome First Pair Free program see the details of that here.  Also be sure to follow them on Facebook for all their specials and updated information.

I was not compensated for this post.  We were provided with one pair of glasses to review.  The opinions are my own.

Title Boxing Club GNO...Photo Story Friday

My fabulous friend Emily hosted an awesome Girls Night Out.  Although she didn't call it that. I am because it involved Girls (aka female bloggers), it was night time, and it was not at my house (YAY for not having to host or clean).  It was so much fun because it involved two of my very favorite things (ya that's a song) working out and FOOD!
We got to check out the newest boxing gym here in the Salt Lake Valley and let me just tell you I am over the top impressed with this place!!  It is called Title Boxing Club you can check them out on Facebook.  They post specials and motivation all the time and the boxing class schedule is on there too.  (You will definitely see me there at several classes) Ok so now for the pictures.

Those are 100 pound bags and they are awesome.  They have 60 of them (that's a lot by the way).  We did a one hour power-hour workout using the bags and body-weight exercises my shins were sweating people that's how intense this workout was!  The rumor is you can burn up to 1000 calories during one of these classes depending on how much you push yourself.  Did I mention if you want to try out a power hour class the first hit (class) is free?  

Check out all these hot momma's!  We all have our "fierce" faces on here.  Jill and I are hiding in the back trying to hide our big noses!

Our amazing instructor, Maryguenn Vellinga!  She was so great and helpful and not mean at all.  Thanks Emily for letting me steal pictures from Flickr.

I put those gloves on and I pretty much felt like I was going to knock something out.  I LOVED it. Did I already say that?  Thanks again to Emily for the photo.

This is in the entrance and I thought it looked pretty cool.

I want those arms so a boxing I will go....

Thanks again to Emily for hosting an awesome event and to Michael Alger (owner of Title Boxing Club in Cottonwood Heights) for welcoming us crazy ladies!!

I am linking up with Lolli for PhotoStory Friday over here.

I was not compensated for this post.  We were able to participate in the class for free and I will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a free year membership; however all opinions are my own.

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it.  If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial.  I have pee stains on more than one mattress.  I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot.  It's a gift I know. I digress.

Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know?  Another mom had pee stains too.  So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you.

All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle.  I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair.  It worked great.

You will need:
3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide
1 drop dish soap
Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer.  You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longer effective due to the active nature of these ingredients.  I didn't test that out I used all the mixture. (twice)
Here is my mattress before

I know totally nasty.  And this is my guest room bed so I was horrified when my child destroyed it.  I tried my carpet cleaner and it totally made it worse AHHH!  There were also a few stains on my awesome mattress that I paid a small fortune for.  It totally worked on that one too hooray!  It also worked on my pillows.  But I realized I could just throw those in the washer.  I'm lazy.....
Here is the after.  

It's kind of magic and I seriously LOVE that.  I do know the power of hydrogen peroxide I have used it at work as a nurse to get blood stains out of my scrubs, so I wasn't surprised to see it would also remove urine.  Yay for cheap cleaning products!  I am thinking it will work on any bodily fluid stain (I'm not trying to be gross).  Blood, sweat, urine.  I did the treatment twice.  It dried really fast and it also pulled out the odor. Now I am oh so happy.
Hope you are as happy about this as I am!
