See What I Mean!

Domo Toaster

Fredflare.com

See what I mean, everything is super cute.  Domo is a Japanese cartoon that our family has loved for years, and recently he has become popular for many.  My boys would go crazy for this toaster.  Oh Santa please bring me one for christmas.

Ballerina Clock

OMG!!! I love anything from Fredflare.com, its super duper Kawaii and Kitschy.  Sometimes if your lucky you can find a few items at Target and Homegoods Stores.  I'm on the wait list for this clock, I think I must have it for my kitchen.  Her cute little legs dance around the clock as the time changes.  At night I drink from a Fred Carafe that is a little Babushka girl (spelling is probably totally wrong).  No joke if I could have everything on this website in my home I would feel very lucky.  Love ya Fred !

Arthurs Amazing

Arthur The Miniature Horse

Oh my sweet baby boy, he just turned 2 on May 1st 2013.  This little boy is the most amazing little miniature horse with a beautiful horse soul.  He is a city slicker cruising around the city, golf course, walking with dogs and strollers, he loves chickens and goats.  Arthur is awesome and full of personality.  I have taught him how to lay down, and he rolls around like a dog while I rub his belly.  He picks up all the buckets and throws them into his buddy Cosmo's stall everyday.  I think his next trick should be picking stuff up.  I have been riding since I was nine and horses are a true blessing in my life.  If you can't afford a full sized horse, miniature horses can offer you just as much joy .

Butterfly Ohhhhh Butterfly

Anise Swallowtail

That's my hand, and that is one of my newborn babies!  Another crazy obsession is hand raising butterflies.  Well its really hand raising caterpillars and eggs till they become butterflies.  My dear friend opened this crazy obsession to me last year, making this my second year as a butterfly mom.  It takes mother nature about 100 eggs to create one amazing butterfly that you see fluttering around.  I go into nature to find the eggs and caterpillars, but only search for native butterflies and only ones that local flowers can support.  Its amazing after all the weeks of love and care to see them fly off, giving back to nature feels awesome.  We take so much from nature and enjoy its beauty daily that I feel anytime we can help lessen our impact is a good thing. 

  I put this baby on my pink Dahlias to sun bathe before it flew off to create more babies

I have had Anise Swallowtails born about every two days for the past few weeks.  Obsession, told you this gemini is quirky.  I love this pic because these two were born the same morning.  On the left is the boy and right is the girl.  The boy is huge, I just love when they are big and strong.  I give them as much fresh food as possible when they are caterpillars, in hopes that they will all be big like him.  Mother nature is funny and you just never know when they will decide to go into their chrysalis.  The little girl on the right laid a clear egg while I was holding her, that was the first time a girl has done that. 

First Bulu Box Has Arrived

Its been a second since my last post, kids are out of school and that makes for some very busy days.  I'm super excited about Bulu and will be trying another box after this intro box.  I'm trying to lose weight and get healthy now that I just turned 35.

  

Bulu is celebrating its first year so I earned extra points with this box, lets hope one day I can get free boxes.  What if I could have my own subscription box company, omg that would be amazing.  It would be a mix of Kawaii and a pet store in one box, lol. 

Little snapshot of the presentation and all the information included.  I love the information card that tells you about each sample because if you journal your sample experiences, and then login to your account and do a quick survey you get more reward points to put towards purchases.

BioVi Probiotic

$28.50/30 day supply

I was super excited about this sample, but they only put two pill samples in it.  With this product I'm not sure you can notice much of an effect with such a small sample.  This product supports healthy bacteria, protects stomach and helps you absorb food better and increasing your metabolism.  I will report back if I see an awesome change in two pills :)

BlueCetin

$39.99/30 count

I totally could have used this a few days earlier when I celebrated my brithday, lol.  This product is a natural hangover protection to lessen the impact of the alcohol.  I don't drink that often so I will give this away and let you know if it works.  

Eat Green Tea

$19.99/30 day supply

I'm excited about this product because I already love to drink many types of teas, especially the ones in the triangle tea bags, so cute.  1 tablespoon of this product increases your antioxidant intake by nearly 10,000%.  Green tea can help clear your system and revamp your diet.  I emailed the company and they replied very quickly.  I needed to know if caffeine sensitive people could take this.  They replied that I should try a small dosage at first, and that it is digested differently than drinking a cup of tea or soda.  

Flapjacked Protien pancake Mix

&17.99/17 servings

Flapjacked is a energizing breakfast with 17g of protein, full of natural ingredients like quinoa, whole oats and whey protein.  I'm more of a breakfast bar or protein shake kinda girl, but I'm willing to give these a try.  This is awesome for kids, especially with real maple syrup.  

Shapeology Burn Blend

$39.99/60 capsules (sale)

Burn blend is a liquid pill that delivers the effects quickly, increasing your metabolism to help you lose weight.  I would love to try this product but it is not for people sensitive to caffeine.  I will give to a friend and let you know how it works.  I like that this came with 14 capsules, gives you a week to see if you feel a difference in your body.

Bulu Box is only $10 a month and you can cancel anytime.  I'm excited to see what next month has in store before I decide to keep or cancel my subscription.  Its nice to get an assortment of new health product that is out there, going to the store with kids and trying to absorb all that is on the shelves is sometimes impossible.  My brain is usually fried when I get near a store or mall. 

Summer Has Begun

Summer time has begun for the Moore family, and we are excited to spend lots of time outside being active.  My baby has graduated and will be moving onto first grade.  Its been an interesting year, but we are so excited about having a fun summer and a great year at school starting in July.  We are within walking distance of our school, and its been awesome taking my boys to school each day.  Next year I plan on spending lots of time in the classroom, I think I have to get another shot, EEEKKK.  Really that is funny considering I have tattoos and getting a shot is more nerve racking. 

Good job Frankie, you rock little man

Just because they are so

stinkin cute :)

Seriously Chilandia is the best place to live

how can you not love the marble eyes

Mr. Toro & Mrs. Coco

Weird side bar; my kids both human and fur have the same amount of letters in their names (first & middle) not planned, must be their true perfection shining through.  Will get into their nicknames later :)

Deformed Green Thumb

I'm completely obsessed with orchids, they are my green babies.  I must have many at all times scattered around my home.  I like to think I have a green thumb, not sure if its a dark experienced green or a light learning green, but I'm working on it everyday.  So for you ladies that have a somewhat deformed green thumb, meaning your green babies turn brown and very sad, you have to try this new obsession.  Geez I really have a lot of obsessions, will just blame that on the gemini within. 

Here in sunny San Diego we have lots of interesting stores, but one of my favorites to visit is Pigment

http://www.shoppigment.com/

I love to visit this, though my wallet shrinks by the time I leave.  Home of the amazing Plant Lab where you can build glass terrariums from your own glass vases or ones they sell.  Its perfect for deformed green thumbs or thumbs just turning from brown to green because they are SUCCULENTS, and these little dudes don't need much love, in fact the more you ignore them the happier they are.  Tillandsia which you may know as air plants are even easier.  

Tah Dah

So stinking cute, a tiny little desert in a glass bowl, omg I love it.

Pigment has the most amazing colors of sand, glass, dried flowers and so much more.  The Plant Lab is all set up for you to create till your thumbs are sore.  With a little water dropper (medicine dropper) you can feed your green babies once a week and watch your terrarium grow, oh I just love the little green fingers climbing out of the glass.

My First Box Has Arrived

Ok ladies my first box has arrived and the subscription stork was super fast to deliver.  Julep Maven is a monthly subscription box for nail polish and hand care products.  This cute box is Free, yup it was Free.  Once you visit their website you take a short quiz about your style, which I don't think I have any.  But according to Julep Classic With A Twist is me, and the twist I totally see but classic I'm not so sure.  Is a sleeve of tattoos classic, well not really but it is a twist no doubt.  None the less any box you get will be a treat. 

If you are an Etsy lover and seller like me, then you know packaging and presentation is as much fun as the actual item. So peek a boo at this cute little pink and black surprise.

Classic With A Twist

This is the first box as a new member, it is Free.

All boxes after this are $19.99 with free shipping.

You get lots of other benefits as well, its a awesome service to keep your 

hands looking like you stay away from housekeeping, chores,

gardening, etc.

 Get started with a small nail file

and

polish remover pad

3 oz. Glycolic Hand Scrub

I'm super excited to try this because

it gets great reviews at julep.com

Julep Nail Color

Zora

Julep Nail Color

Myrtle

I'm super excited to try these products and I will let you know how fab they are.  This was the free intro box and with a subscription to the monthly box for $19.99 you will receive three full sized products.  In this free box the hand scrub was worth $18.40, and the polishes both retail for $11.20 each.  Without the nail file and polish remover the box retails for $40.80, what an awesome present.  I look forward to each box being as awesome.  Now I won't look like I have played with horses, gardened, mopped and scrubbed tubs.  I might look classic with a twist, super twist.

My Newest Obsession

Right now I have just discovered, a few years to late that Monthly Subscription Boxes are the new rave.  I'm going to blame it on my age and that being home with two little boys has taken me out of the loop a bit.  It turns out that for a monthly fee you can get a present in the mail every month, who does not like snail mail joy.  So I have subscribed to more than one of course, and I'm going to share them all with you.

Days in the life of a California Mom

The days of my life is really full of fun being a stay at home mom, taking care of my three boys (one being my hubby), two little chihuahuas, one miniature horse, butterflies, orchids, friends and much more.  First you must excuse my terrible grammar and spelling, its a gift of mine.  My ramblings you can blame on the gemini that resides within.  Really I can be described as quirky and interested in many different things, sometimes to many at a time.  I hope you enjoy my blog that may seem like you have fallen down the white rabbit hole at times, but you will have fun exploring with me as I jump from one fun thing to the next.
