So recently I was picked to host a party about on of my favorite spreads. Drum roll please........Nutella.
It was alot of fun to have other moms share with me all the things they do with the Nutella (get your mind out of the gutter.I mean recipes). For example..
Chocolate-Hazelnut Panini with Strawberries
Cut pound cake* into 1/2" thick slices. Spread one side of all of the slices with Nutella. Add thinly-sliced fresh strawberries to half of the slices. Cover with the remaining slices to form a sandwich.
Spray a panini pan with butter-flavored cooking spray and preheat the pan. Add the pound cake sandwiches to the heated pan, and grill for approximately two minutes, or until you have nice grill lines on the pound cake and the Nutella begins to soften.
So good!
It was fun! Everyone walked away with a sample, mug and nutella spreader!
Thanks girls!

FLIP OFF FRIDAY
Ok so I realize I have not been blogging the way I used to, and this is because my life is just crazy at the moment(oh who am i kidding my life is crazy 24/7). But I have to make time for FLIP OFF FRIDAY as I have alot of flips offs (and it helps me to vent) so here goes.....
5. big flip off to the makers of huggie diapers for all the blowouts my son has been having in the last couple days. so I change my sons diaper ever 2-3 hours at the most during the day (as I can imaging how gross it must be to sit in pee) and then hopefully at night since he sleeps through the night we should make it through. BUT NO..he has woken up every night with a leak. So flip of Huggies.
4. big flip off to stupid people in the stores. When I am on a mission at the store I need to get in and out. Yesterday at Trader Joes I was on a real mission because I had both kids and just wanted to get in and get out. But no...some man and I swear at one point I thought someone with a camera was going to jump out and say i was being filmed. This man was just always in my way. Now Traders was packed regardless but mister get the **** out of my way. Don't just stop in the middle of the already small isles and read direction on how to steam vegetables or stop and read them to your wife. So flip off to stupid people.
3. Big flip off to Christmas. I am so sick and tired of this holiday. It is my least favorite holiday. I really feel this holiday is not what it should be. I thought it was about family and friends and spending time together. not spending money that most people don't have on crap that will either be re gifted of thrown in the closet and never seen again except when your vacuuming up tiny pieces of a crappy toy. So flip off Christmas.
2. a big flip off to all the people that get christmas parties. What about the stay at home moms who work 24/7 and never get a lunch, two 15 minute breaks, a bonus, a raise, a vacation or a sick day. And now we don't even get a christmas party!!!!! I vote that all stay at home mommies band together for our own christmas party. (A little late now but worth working on for next year).
Drum roll please
1. a BIG FLIP OFF to people that lie to your face. That say they aren't doing something when you ask, say they won't say something or do something and do it. Shame on me for allowing you but shame on you for doing it more. I hope when you realize that doing things like that will come back and haunt you. I hope you feel like shit!
AHHH that feels better. Try it...You'll like it!
Welcome to my world!

HELLO PEEPS! Long time no post!
Hello Peep,
It has been a very long time since I have posted on this blog.
My life has been CRAZY!
But a couple weeks ago someone mentioned to me how she loved my Flip Off Fridays. So I thought what the hell lets start it up again. So here goes....
1.A big flip off to myself first for not doing the white laundry and my daughter today had to go to school with mismatched colored socks (she did wear boots so you could not see them).
2.Flip off to my hair that since I cut 10 inches off is very angry at me and won't do what I tell it too.
3. To Christmas Shopping.... My family(especially you sister in laws) are the hardest to shop for.
4. To my gym bill that keeps coming in...but I don't return the visit because I am just to busy and lets be honest LAZY!
5. Another flip off to me today for forgetting my daughters treat (pretzel sticks) for her class project! I did end up taking them to her (before you start calling me a bad mom).
What are your flip offs for the week!

Viva Huntingtington Beach
On our way back from a fun but long business and pleasure trip to Las Vegas.
We have attended this trade show for baby and children’s product since we opened our business a couple years ago. It is a lot of fun to see all the great new product that people have created and then also great to see the old favorite brands that have come up with new stuff also.
You would be so surprised at the things people invent. I saw a so many things that were great and then things that just made me wonder why I would ever have any use for that.
My husband is driving as I write this and he said the best product he saw at the show was this amazing baby/toddler nail file (stay posted for pictures) it is a electric nail file for your baby so you no longer have to mess around with nail clippers which I personally hate.
The worst product we agreed is this bottle bid that you put on your bottle to replace the bib you would put on your child. It was ugly and so cheaply made. I give them props for developing a product but this was just not the right fit for our store.
Some other favorites of ours were a stroller lock, smencils, piggy paint, a pillow/blanket my daughter loved and the list goes on. Hopefully we can work together with the brands to maybe offer some great giveaways in the future.
Ok enough about that. I will blog about the fact that we took our kids and how fun that was. Including my lil mans first blow out.

Flip Off Friday
Flip off Friday Again!
So a big flip off to the traffic light by my house that thinks its funny to allow only two cars to turn on the green arrow in the morning before turning red. This makes me late to take my daughter to school everyday.
Big flip off to the lady at the girl scout table at back to school night that made a comment to her husband about how I was not supposed to bring my kids to back to school night. Excuse me lady but my husband and I both want to support my daughter so we both showed up and we did not have a sitter to watch them. I would rather bring them then not show up and support her. So F you!!! I know you also and you kids are horrible I can tell why you did not bring yours.
Big flip off to my hairbrush. I noticed this morning that it is full of hair! So for any moms that don't know this but at about the 3-4 mth mark after having your baby you will start to lose hair like it is not joke. Well today marks my three months! F U!
and a big, big flip off to this heat!
Welcome to my world!

My littlest peanut!
My little guy is going to be three months old on Sunday and this past weekend we took him in for his 3 mth pictures. As I am framing and putting them up this morning I am thinking about how much things have changed in three months.
He has grown by leaps and bounds and is no longer my lil guy but my big strong guy now.
He is so interactive now versus just laying there like a bump
on a log.
His personality is amazing...Can you tell from this photo!
He looks more and more like my husband. Which is great as my daughter looks nothing like either of us and I think if we would have had another child like that my husband would have started to wonder!!!
With all that being said this only means that time is going so fast. I mean people are starting to christmas shop. The store have already started putting our christmas supplies. We have not even passed Halloween!
I wish I could say that I was going to treasure the time more now that I am realizing how fast it goes but i would be lying.
With three kids, a husband, a house and two growing businesses my time is valuable and accounted for every second. My calendar is full from now till the beginning of next year. Wish I could be one of those people that live day by day. And just go with the flow. Maybe someday when my kids are off taking care of their own families and my husband and I are living (not vacationing) somewhere tropical!
Maybe I should pencil that into my calender for somewhere in 2030!

Flip Off Friday
Flip off Friday again!
1. The first flip off this week is to myself. Why you ask because this week I did the unthinkable....I locked my new baby in the car!!!!!!!!! So before you throw stone and call child protective services on me , let me explain.
I was getting out of the car and I reached back and opened the back door to go around and get my son out. I hit the lock button on my door and walked to take my son out. Well my daughter who was in the passenger front seat jumped out and came running around the car into the street with a car coming. When I saw this my first reaction was to grab her so when I went for her I hit the door, which closed with my keys on the seat. OMG!!!!!! So I started hysterically crying and lucky my neighbors all helped including a passerby-er that has kids that go to the same school as my daughter stopped and helped. We got him out and he was fine (a little sweaty). Slept the whole time. In total i think he was in there for less then 10 minutes. But is was the longest time ever for me. I beat myself up about it all night till friends started telling me that this has happened to them many times. Now i feel like less of a bad mom.
2. The amount of hours in a day. I drop my daughter off at about 8am on the dot and I am home by 8:10 the latest. By the time I have a light breakfast, shower and read emails it is 12pm and my daughter is out at 1:50. Why can't the school day be longer.
3. The parents at my daughters school who think it is ok to block you in your parking spot. I make it a point to leave to pick up my daughter by 1:30 so that I am there right when she gets out. Which means that I can always get a parking spot. if you show up after 1:40 forget getting a spot that is not around the corner. So parents who decide to arrive at 1:49 when the kids get out pull up and double park. Then they decide they can chit chat with each other while I am stock in the spot. Next time I will think about hitting your car.
That is my Friday Flip off. What are yours?
