Bone Thugs n Harmony Clothing

Are you a fan of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony? The rappers Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, and Flesh-N-Bone are a group from Ohio. Despite their many break ups and reuniting they still produce awesome lyrics together.

Recently Layzie Bone has launched his own clothing collection at Layziegear.com 

The collection consists of hats, shirts, accessories, and jewelry.

I received as a gift a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony hat that my oldest son has claimed for himself. 

The hat is adjustable in the back to custom fit to your head.

If you are a fan of their music then go check out their site and get some memorabilia for yourself.

"I'm peepin' Krayzie's 'Wanted' poster in the saloon,
So I assume it'll be trouble round here pretty soon.
Glanced across the room I seen this youngster gettin' ready to fight
But if he mess up tonight I think that Krayzie just might take his life.
So I approached him and I paused.
"Look man, I really don't wanna brawl, but won't you chill before them laws,
Come messin' up this master plan,
Since he already rowdy I'm just asked the man (dang).
You want some work well partner put in your bid
And by the way now what's your name, they call me Layzie the Kid." - Ghetto Cowboy 2013

Tea Time with Mama!

I am from the south and we love our ice sweet tea! Never and I mean never in my life did I think I would ever be a hot tea drinker. It wasn't going to happen- snub my nose in the air and purse my lips shut keep it away from me. Yuck! Then I started to get a cold and my husband convinced me to let him make me a cup of hot tea to soothe my throat and open up my nose. I agreed and with my heels dug into the ground ready to run the other way I took a sip of chamomile tea with honey and sugar. It was like a cloud that slowly and warmly surrounded my body from head to toe. AMAZING! I fell in love and we stocked up on all kinds of different teas. Now as a new tea drinker I was boiling water in a pot on the stove and pouring it into my mug over the sink so the water didn't splash anywhere else. It was a hassle and took up so much time! Especially if I got busy and couldn't get to it in time all of my water would be gone and with an infant who has her own schedule it was not working out for the tea. Thanks to Chefs Limited for sending me this gift of their Chefs Limited Tea Kettle I can now have my tea all day everyday. Purchase yours here - Amazon #Chefslimitedteakettle

The handle is special so you can just pick it up and the whistle is not loud or annoying and helps with that therapeutic feeling during tea time. I can easily pour it into my mug with one hand!

Now I just need to focus on organizing my tea to make it easier to choose one. With the day I have had out and about with pediatrician appt, shots, cats at the vet, Christmas shopping, and homeschool meetings I need Peppermint Tea with a tiny drop of honey.

The kids are napping so I will relax and read "Love That Boy.".

Enjoy the holidays and feel free to leave your favorite tea and book in the comments!

Laser Christmas Lights

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
I am so ecstatic for this season as it is my favorite. There is nothing like snow on the ground, hot cocoa in your hand, family surrounding you, a Christmas tree, lights on the house, and lastly our elf on the shelf, Jose. We are getting there to complete the list. We do not have any snow yet; despite having cold weather it is not cold enough for snow. Without snow and needing the weather to be colder we are waiting for hot cocoa at that time. For now we do have our Christmas tree. lights outside, and Jose the elf.

This is our Wondershop 6ft prelit tree from Target. Of course decorated by my wonderful 8 and 9 yr old boys while my 1 month old daughter watched from her swing. I had the tree on blinking lights so that is why it only looks like 1 part is lit up. #tistheseason #Wondershop Buy yours here- Target

 The lights on our house came as a gift from Baima Club. It is Blue/Green lights and has a 25 foot reach. They really set the mood as they make the grass, house, trees, and sky twinkle! The ones I have do not blink or change, but you can turn it so it can sit at a different angle as needed. Another thing I love about the lights is you can see them in the windows of your house on the inside. As I sit typing this from my living room I can see the lights in the kitchen window and it just puts a smile on my face. It took less than 2 minutes to put it together and stake it in the ground outside. #laserchristmaslights  Buy yours here- Amazon

Our family Elf on the Shelf is Jose. He generally comes the day after Thanksgiving and delivers a fill in the blank letter to carry back to Santa on what they did good this year and what they want for Christmas. To prevent the kids from going overboard he leaves 2 to 4 blanks for things they want. So far he has reminded us to hang the lights which I have not done yet..laziness and glad I didn't since we received the laser Christmas lights. Then he stole some of our cake mix and hid in the closet with a letter asking my 8 yr old what he wanted for a Birthday cake. #elfontheshelf #Josetheelf Adopt your elf here- Amazon

I hope you enjoy your holidays and would love to see any of your holiday pictures. Share them here on my facebook page - Mander Rocha
 

Decorating the Belly Cast

I know it's a late posting of how we decorated the belly cast. Unfortunately with the pregnancy complications and the early birth of our daughter we did not get it fully decorated in time. I am very very grateful for Brushes with Karma for taking her time to help us decorate the belly cast and fixing my many artistic mistakes. Ignore the background as we were remodeling and adding a walk in closet to our home, but here is a picture of me holding the cast ready to start decorating.

We had to sand it down so the paint would go on smoothly.

Once we had it sanded down we then began painting the chest area gray to match my daughters nursery of gray and pink. Kat with Brushes with Karma came to my home and did the painting for me. We used the same gray and pink as we did on our walls in the nursery to make sure it was an exact match.

After the gray dried we then cut circles from construction paper and traced them onto the gray.

We then took white paint and traced the circles then filled them in.

Once that was dry Kat painted my daughters name and date of birth onto the belly. Then with a hot glue gun she added the ribbons and stone to the middle. Once all of that was complete and dry we then took my daughters feet and printed them onto the cast.

Now that the casting is complete we can hang them in her nursery with her newborn pictures taken by Dani Feltmeyer!
