From Sleepless To Sleep Bliss #ZzzQuilNight

This post brought to you by ZzzQuil. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love to sleep. Seriously, who doesn't? Unfortunetly sleep has become something that I seem to day dream about more than I actually do. Okay okay, that is probably a bit of a stretch but is sure feels that way.  There are many mornings that turn into blurry days that I feel and probably look like a zombie! 

My sleep habits aren't the best. For starters I stay up way to late. I am a total worrier/over thinker and night time is when my thoughts seem to get the best of me. I have been known to lie down at night and think about everything from a list of chores and errands I need to run or simply going over the same scenerio over and over again in my head.   My brain starts to feel like a computer with hundreds and hundreds of different tabs open at the exact same time. Can you relate? I simply can not relax enough at night to get the proper amount of sleep to get me through the next day. It seemed like a never ending vicious cycle. 

I had previously seen ZzzQuil before but had never considered buying it because I have tried over the counter sleep aids before and I woke up the next morning feeling like I had one too many glasses of wine the night before. Yuck. When I received the ZzzQuil to sample I learned that the active ingredient diphenhydramine HCI helps you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed so I knew I had made the right choice when I decided to finally give it a try.

I am happy to share with you all that ZzzQuil kept true to their promise and not only did I fall asleep easily...I stayed asleep all night and woke up feeling very un-zombie-ish! I know zombies are making a come back but I would rather watch them on tv than look like one! Sorry ya'll! 

If you have never seen ZzzQuil before here are a few things you might like to know:

*ZzzQuil is brought to you by Vicks NyQuil (ZzzQuil is for occasional sleeplessness no cold needed)

*ZzzQuil is the only over-the-counter sleep aid that comes in both liquid and LiquiCap form. (I sampled the liquid and it was surprisingly easy to swallow. It didn't have the typical syrup flavor you might expect.)

*Lastly, ZzzQuil is intended for adults and children 12 years of age and older. As always use only according to the package.

Come back and share your ZzzQuil sleep experience with me if you decide to give it a try.

Got Milk? #BfastBlitz Sweepstakes thru 2/17 plus a GIVEAWAY

My kiddos are so very lucky to attend an amazing school. The parents and staff really work together to make it the best possible experience for each and every student. Although we are full of ideas it is a sad reality that at times the budget just doesn't allow us to do everything we want to do for our sweet children. An example of this being that Little Diva and the rest of the Kindergarten classes had to do away with their pumpkin patch field trip this year because there was no money in the budget to fuel the bus. It is so very sad but we as parents can really do our part even from home...

Snacking gone wrong!

I enjoy snacking just as much as the next guy and I admit that when I see a little stand while shopping that I will usually grab a little something to nibble on as I walk around. Well, the last time we were spending too much money at one of my fave places- (not the one that rhymes with Shmarget it's the one that rhymes with Shmostco ;) Little Diva asked to have a sample of some cheese and a little cracker. I said sure why not...seems healthy enough, right? Ugh...major mom fail! For the record Little Diva has never ever had any sort of reaction or allergy from any type of food or drink. On with the story...she ate the sample and loved it. We got home about an hour later and I noticed a weird rash on the side of her face that looked like teeny tiny little welts. I instantly started going down the list of things she could have gotten into or put on her skin. Nothing. By now he rash had spread to her neck and arm and I was getting scared! I was racking my brain and finally she said "Mom all I did today was go to the store with you!" *Light Bulb* the cheese! 

Now now now..before anyone gives me the worst mom of the year award keep in mind we were told to keep her away from any soft cheese in the future as it was indeed a food allergy related rash. 

So scary.

I hope you can learn from my major mistake.

Be careful when snacking.

Have you ever had an allergic reaction scare with your kiddo?

My FAVORITE gift this Christmas...

This year my Hubby finally got me something I have been wanting for a very long time! 

Now I just need to gather some yummy recipes and get to work! If you have a favorite shoot me a comment... :)

I have never been a huge cook or baker (I'm more of a reservation gal) so I hope this bad boy (or maybe it's a girl..hmmm) doesn't turn into a pretty kitchen decoration! 

What was your favorite gift this year...something you gave or received?

Why I love the weeks following Christmas...

Now, don't get me wrong- I adore Christmas. Well, all holidays really. But, I really truly love the weeks following Christmas. Sure the house is usually in shambles. The trash cans are overflowing, and I have bags under my eyes the size of Texas. 

BUT

It is so worth it when I get to spend endless days with my babies putting together the new toys they spent months wishing for and playing silly board games late into the night because they are on winter break! I am not only a blessed Mommy...I am a happy Mommy. 

Besides, without days like those Ya'll wouldn't get to see pictures like these...

Enjoying a night of Fibber.

I happily lost. 

Jealous of my awesome glasses? Gonna have to get your own!

Your kids will thank you for it :)
