Emma & Prince sent me there monthly subscription box to review.

First, when I went to get the box from our mail box I honestly could smell the wax melts and it smelt so good.

I’ve tried most of the stuff except for the teething necklace because I don’t have a teething baby anymore.

I loved the mask, it left my face feeling so fresh and clean. I’m so glad that it came with more than 1 as well.

The make up remover wipes are some of the best wipes I’ve tried as well. They smell so good and so smooth on my skin.

I can honestly say I’d recommend this box to my friends, everything that came in definitely pampered me.

I have a couple of monthly favorites, very random. Some food, beauty and essentials etc.

First, is something I need everyday being a mom to two toddlers is COFFEE!! haha 🙂

Recently bought this one called WIDE AWAKE COFFEE CO. In the flavor Donut Shop Blend. It’s so good, perfect for first thing in the morning, not too strong just perfect for those busier days.

Next, I got these chips for my kids because they looked like a healthier option for them. Since, I hate that feeling when were eating chips and don’t give them to them because they’re not good for them. They may not be totally “good” for them but they’re definitely a better option than buying Cheetos for them and I gotta say taste almost exactly like cheetos. They also have a bunch of different flavors and styles of chip. 🙂

Then, I discovered these actually a couple of months ago, I don’t use them every time I wash because they’re a bit pricier. So I like to treasure them as much as possible. But, I do use them for those dirtier loads that my kids leave every once in a while. Every time I use these to wash our clothes, the clothes comes out ten times fresher and cleaner.

Now, to beauty products. I’ve been loving this setting spray by NYX. I have oily skin, so I love that when I am all done putting on my makeup or even after a couple of hours of wearing my makeup I can spray this on and it’ll leave my makeup matte and not shiny at all.

I’ve been loving this BB Creme by Maybelline this month. It’s so light, and easy to wear.  I put it on for those days where I need some makeup but don’t want a lot. It feels so light on the skin and looks great.

Next, I love these bows for my daughter by Little Poppy Co. They’re so adorable these are Mays Monthly Bows but they have a ton of different bows on their site and come out with new cute ones every month. They’re exactly how I love bows for her. Her hair is really silky and straight so some bows don’t stay too long on her hair but these do. They recently added a grip on each bow so that they hold in their hair and it has helped a lot!

They have a monthly subscription of $11.99, and get 3 super cute bows every month!

Last but not least, my husband bought this pen to help improve our handwriting and also because I want to try to do Calligraphy. We have been really enjoying it. It changes the way of how you write it’s so smooth and easy to write with. Just a placing the pen on your paper, no pressure at all and you write the nicest, easiest you can write. Can’t wait to practice more with it.

There you have it My May Favorites for 2017 🙂

This Post is not sponsored at all. These are my honest, true opinion. Hope you enjoyed!

So this week I have been trying to start my mornings at 7:00am so that I can make my husband breakfast or lunch.

7:00am-Snoozed

Today, I actually woke up around 7:20am to this outside our door. 🙂

First, I’ll give them a cup of milk to hold them off while I make breakfast and, then I’ll turn on the laptop. My husband does pest control and sometimes he has his stops printed out at home. While he’s getting ready for work I try to print them out for him. While I was printing his paperwork, I started on breakfast. Today I made one of Noah’s favorites, Potatoes with Eggs or like he says “Pantayos”. Lol

Lydia finished all her fruit first and struggled to finish her potatoes with eggs, and Noah was opposite he finished his potatoes first and struggled to finish his fruit. Its funny how that is, they always eat opposite. Lydia would rather have fruits or veggies than meat or in this case potatoes with eggs and Noah would have anything over fruit and veggies. Hahaha

As they were finishing up daddy had to leave for work.

8:00AM

 

After finishing up our breakfast I’ll clean up the kitchen and wash our dishes that got dirty. While I’m cleaning up, I’ll either watch a YouTube video or some music and today it was music. This was my choice. 🙂

 

 

 

8:30AM

Time to head to the bedroom and make our bed. I’ve got to make the bed most days, I’ve always grown up with that habit. My mom would say if your bed is made it helps make the room look clean and, its true. Now, if I don’t make our bed I’m so uncomfortable for that day because our room looks dirty.

9:00AM

 

On a good day when the kids are entertained and today they seemed pretty entertained in the toy room. I like to listen to a devotional and read along with it.

Today it was about “What is our Hope in Life? “ A lot of us are distraught and want to be hopeless because of how this world is or because of how you are. So we grow Hopeless but, Our only Hope comes because the power of sin has been broken. Christ came to rescue us. He’s the one that has broken sins power. He’s what give us Hope in Life. We have hope because of what Christ did for us. Trust him as he speaks to you.

10:00AM

While I was finishing up, both Noah and Lydia came to my room and wanted attention. So, while I was finishing I gave them some water and told them to wait a little bit. Once, I finished I went into the toy room and saw this and this is just a picture of a small piece of the room.

So I put some of there favorite Disney music on, and put them to clean obviously I helped them. Haha

11:00AM

After an hour we finally organized and cleaned there toy room. Even put some toys into a donation pile. Woohoo! Lets see how long it’ll last. 🙂

Next, there bedroom to make there beds and put some clothes to hang and clean up a little bit.

12:10AM

Now to get them dressed and start on some lunch.

While I made lunch, Noah wanted to play with his play-doh. So I set up this Mickey Mouse matt on our table and let them make what they want while I made lunch.

Today I made them some ABC soup, so while that finished cooking I did some braids on Lydia’s hair after, they then started to get a little bit inpatient so I put a small ice cub in each of there bowls so that it would cool down faster.

Noah has never been a big fan of any sort of soup so it took him a little bit longer than Lydia but, Lydia loved it.

So that was my busy morning, some mornings it goes by smoothly and some are harder than others, But love every second of it.

Now, time to prepare dinner for when daddy gets home…

Thank you for taking the time to read my day 🙂

• Does A Cow Say BOO?

  Written by Judy Hindley Illustrated By Brita Granstrom

  We love reading this book because, it starts off by asking if each animal says Boo, and ends with the kids saying BOO! They love making each animal sound that is in the book and point to which one says which noise.

  Oliver Finds His Way

  Written By Phyllis Root & Illustrated by Christopher Denise

  

This book seems to keep my kids really quiet when we read it to them. Its about a little bear who gets lost trying to catch a leaf and ROARS to find his way back home.  The pictures in the book are so nice they’re always focused on the pictures and love to interact as well when the I Roar as I read it to them.

Just In Case You Ever Wonder

By Max Lucado Illustrated by Toni Goffe

This book definitely has to be one of my favorites to read to them, they don’t pay that much attention because its more of a heart felt book. But, everything it says is so touching. It says how special they are; how you’ll always be there for them; and most importantly how special they are to God. Its a book that I’ll always like to keep and pass on to someone very special.

Bedtime Prayers

By Bonnie Rickner Jensen & Illustrated by Julie Sawyer Phillips

This book is the perfect book to read right before bed, its very short and sweet. Each page is a different prayer for little ones and the pictures are so sweet. My son will even sometimes repeat after me when I read it to them.

God Gave Us You

By Lisa Tawn Bergren & Art by Laura J. Bryant

This book is so cute, the momma polar bear tucks the baby polar bear in and explains how happy herself and the poppa were to have him. A wonderful bedtime story to read to your little ones. My babies love it, and I try to also explain that they were once babies and mommy and daddy were so excited when God gave them to us. Definitely a favorite!

There they are my top 5 favorite books to read to my little ones, highly recommended. Most nights I love starting off with some fun/silly books and ending with some calm and sweet books. I think all of these are perfect for that. Hope you enjoy 🙂
