Planting Trees for Earth Day...

This morning when I woke Chucky for school, he told me that he had some notes in his backpack.
I checked his backpack and sure enough 2 notes! Why doesn't he give them to me when he gets home from school? I DON'T KNOW, but wish I did.

His school sent home a note stating the activities they are doing for Earth Day...
1. Walk to school. Meet at the CNS building and walk to school with faculty.
2. Turn lights off from 12:30 to 2:30.
3. Extra Recess time from 2:00 to 2:15.
4. Recycle Paper, we will be using little to no paper today and our notes are all on recycled paper.
5. Please do what you can at home, turn off lights, turn of game boxes and computers for 1 hour.

Okay great, they are trying to do some good for Mother Earth!

So I tried to do my lil' part, I left all of the lights off in the house this morning and Chucky turned them all back on!
This is our conversation about the note from school...

Mom, I HAVE to walk to school!

No, Chucky you don't "have" to walk to school. Do you think that it is good for our environment for all of us to jump in our cars and drive our kids down so you can walk a block to school? I think it would be worse for our environment then you just riding the bus.

I am going to be the only one in my class that isn't walking to school, THANKS MOM!!

I guarantee you that you won't be the only one not walking to school.

YES, YES I will and I will never forgive you!!

Okay, Chucky I think your being a little over dramatic about walking a block to school.

So needless to say I had my fingers crossed that the kid that's in Chucky's class would ride the bus this morning- lucky for me he did!!

Yeah, I said that his school was doing some good!

The Earth Day note was on recycled paper, but the other note was not!

Chucky's bus ended up dropping them off a block from the school so all of the kids could walk to school.

Chucky did more than eat and shower in the dark, walk a block to school and bring home 1 note on recycled paper, he planted a cherry tree!!





Didn't it turn our great!!

TicklerTags Review and Giveaway....

**CLOSED**
As mom's we have so much going on that we sometimes forget things{some more than others}.  I know that it has rubbed off onto my son.
 I'll tell him, "Don't forget to hand in your homework!" Chucky says, "Okay!" When he comes home, it's still in his backpack. I ask him, "Chucky, why didn't you hand in your homework?" Chucky replies, "I forgot." So if you have this problem with the kids in your life, than you need TicklerTags.

TicklerTags are easy-to-use backpack reminder tags for your children's,
-After school atheletics and activities
-Doctor and dentist appointments
-Early release school days
-Joint-custody arrangements                                                 
-Fluctuating daycare arrangements
-Words of encouragement

“There has got to be a better way...”



After a day or two into her daughter's kindergarten debut, it became very apparent to TicklerTag developer, Nicole Budleski, the weekly schedule was a bit more stressful and complicated than she had anticipated. Mondays were violin lessons, which meant she picked up her daughter from school. Tuesdays were swim lessons, therefore her husband chauffeured that day. Wednesday afternoons were sometimes spent with Grandpa, which meant she would get picked up and shouldn't ride the bus. You get the picture.


In an effort to be organized yet manageable for her daughter, a simple system of interchangeable Activity and Transportation backpack tags were developed. Designed to accommodate readers and non-readers alike, the simple and iconic images used within the design of these cards proved to be a local hit. As Nicole shared her idea with friends, family and educators, the decision to share this product with other busy families seemed like something everyone could benefit from.

Until your children are old enough to have their own cell phones, TicklerTags are a simple solution to a complex day!

I received 5 TicklerTags, Grandma is picking you up today, Mom is picking you up today, You can do it, Good luck today, I love you with all my heart, and a blue carabiner to attach them to Chucky's backpack. Let me tell you they couldn't have come at a better time! Chucky was starting his CORE testing and so I hooked the Good luck today, and the I love you with all my heart TicklerTags to the carabiner and then to his backpack, he was more than happy to have them on there. Usually it's a fight to put a note of any sort on his backpack. If they don't have a tag that you need, don't worry- they have customized tags, which you can place a picture of your child and the activity in which you would like. I think that is a great way to let your children feel special about their activities and be more likely to use them!{not that-that will be a problem}




On this day I had him put all of them on his backpack to show that it doesn't matter if all 5 are on there at once, that they are going to fit perfectly and there is still room for more. So whether your child is just gettingpicked up after school, has an activity or needs to ride the bus, they will know it by just looking at their backpack!


Now for some VERY Exciting News, Nicloe has generously offered to give one lucky Ma21cuteboy reader their own TicklerTags!!
The winner will get (5) five standard TicklerTags and a carabiner in choice of color!

Mother's Day Celebration and Review With Coupon....

I wanted all of this to go so smoothe. Well in my life, I have come to expect that things don't always work out the way that we want them to. So without further ramblings from me let's get this party started!!

I want to share with all of you some great Reviews and Giveaway's for Mother's Day and thus became my Mother's Day Celebration!


My first is a Review from Footzyrolls. They are designed for women by women!


Jenifer and Sarah Caplan never thought bruised feet and uncomfortable high heels would help them to become designers.



Like so many women out there, Jenifer and Sarah strut in stilettos with heels of all sizes just because it is the latest “must have shoe,” but in reality, they don’t make it very far before feeling the pain. After years of angry boyfriends yelling at them for their early departures from all kinds of events (weddings, concerts, birthday parties and big sporting events) because their feet just can’t take it anymore, they knew a drastic change needed to be made. It is here where Footzyrolls, the rollable shoe, is born.

Since receiving Footzyrolls in the mail, I have been wearing them in the mail everyday since.

I was sent a black pair, and when I received them in the mail I thought to myself they have really cute pakaging! They were rolled nicley into a round container with a small bag to carry my Footzyrolls and a bigger bag to put my heels into. They also have a picture on the back of the roll to tell you how to use them!





I took them out of the pakaging, they are really cute, they have a cute little bow on the top and small piece of padding inside. I placed them on my feet and they were really comfy, as if wearing socks. I walked around the house in them for awhile and I almost forgot that I was wearing them.


I wore them to my son's Science Fair night and found that they were really comfortable to wear outside. The only draw back that I found while wearing them is watching out for larger rocks. The Footzyrolls have a textured bottom, but should not be worn like a rubberized sole of a tennis shoe.

Who are Footzyrolls for?
 Mom's, Sister's, Best Girlfriends, Grandmother's, Brides, Brides Maids, Corporate Women, Girls, any women or girl who loves to wear her cute shoes with a very substantial heel, but can't wear them all day, while chasing after their kids, dancing, working, or just hanging out.

These would be the perfect gift for Mother's Day, Brides, Brides Maids, Birthday's or just because!
I am going to get my sister and my mom a pair for Mother's Day.

Jenifer the owner of Footzyrolls has offered my readers a discount Buy 2 get 1 Free! Use coupon code Mother!


*I was not compensated for this review, I was provided a product to facilitate my review. These opinions are my own and others' may differ.* Thank you Jenifer for the opprotunity to review Footzyrolls.
