Dizzy Mommy Chronicles, has somewhat taken a back burner to my everyday life. A lot has been going on, and I cannot discuss it much in detail on my sites. However, hopefully within the next month or so things will get back to normal. Well some what normal, and I plan on hitting things up in force. My goals for 2012 have changed a bit some. I will be focusing Dizzy Mommy Chronicles, on weight loss and healthy eating. I have struggled with my weight for a very long time, and I am very proud of the fact that I have stayed at the same weight since November! Although my weight it way high, I have not gained a pound with all the stress life has thrown at me. I need to get in better health for my daughter. My goals are to drop at least 50 pounds by her birthday, which will put me at the weight I was when I had her. Her birthday is in August so I think I can do this. I will just have to bust out the weights and get moving. Even if I do a lot of my working out sitting down, I know it … [Read more...]
Facebook Giveaways
I miss being able to enter giveaways! Only a month or so longer and I should be back to do my normal, everyday things. I hope anyways, however, I have been entering some facebook giveaways. They have several great ones going on right now. How about a $1000 dollar Easter basket! I know my daughter would love that. I also have one for Super 8, this one you would win $500 and 3 night stay to any Super 8, another one I would love to win, and let's not forget the ipads. I would love to win any of the three above, however, I secretly would love to win the Super 8 one. How many awesome facebook giveaways have you entered? I know many friends have great luck on the facebook ones, so I have my fingers crossed and hoping they sent me some luck. … [Read more...]
Where Is Spring?
So I thought spring was just around the corner, when all of a sudden we started getting snow, and ice! I was hoping to come back to Michigan and show my daughter what a real winter looked like. Haha Winter had a different idea, because Michigan had a very odd winter, hardly no snow, and really cold temps. I don't mind cold temps as long as there is some snow too. I went and bought my daughter some snow pants, and she didn't even need them. She has wore them a few times. Thankfully they will still fit her next year so when we get some snow down South she will be warm! Hopefully this time next month we will be on our way back South. I am going to miss all my family up here in Michigan, but I am ready for my life to somewhat go back to normal. I have to figure out what to do next with my life. Things have been to nuts, and I cannot even go into details on my sites, that is how crazy life has been. This whole moving thing was both good and bad, bad because it has cost me a lot of … [Read more...]

Local Stores
One thing I will miss when I go back to Tennessee, is having so many stores at my finger tips. I am literally within 5 miles from stores such as Kmart, Target, Meijers, JC Penneys, Goodwill, and so much more. In order for me to shop at most of the stores around me now, I would have to make that blah trip to Memphis! If you know me you know that I dislike Memphis, it scares me. I know I have to get use to it sooner than later. One thing I have noticed though about one certain store is they like to mark items one price, go through cross them out and up the price. I have noticed this on several items. For instance some shoes I bought my daughter, they came in a box marked 16.99. I guess the store didn't feel $16.99 was a good price and the upped the price to $20. I took 2 pairs of shows to the front with me, I was waiting for them to ring up the $20, then I was going to throw a fit because they were marked $16.99. Luckily for e, and them they were on mark down so I got them for $10. … [Read more...]
Michigan Gets Hit With Snow
I think this is the most snow we have had so far this year at one given time. The ground is covered and it is still coming down pretty hard. I hope it all melts soon, I really had snow. I mean it is pretty too look at, but I don't like having it for long. I guess I got spoiled with Tennessee winters. Oh how I miss Tennessee... However, I do have to say the blizzard look of the snow falling is pretty. The kids all were pretty excited because they didn't have school. My daughter will not be happy when she wakes up and finds she still has school work. One great thing about home-schooling. When days like this occur she wishes she did go to public school. Next year we will be trying something a bit different. We will be doing public school but online, so we still will be homeschooling. She will just have an actual teacher she can goto if she needs help with anything. We are getting into algebra and it is yuck. How is the weather were you are today? … [Read more...]
Husband
Author: Joseph Sandoval I never sleep as well if my husband is out of town. He is on a plane right now to Kentucky. I have always heard that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and it is so true! Even after seven years of marriage, as soon as he is gone I start to miss him. When he is here, he drives me crazy stealing the covers in bed and snoring! But when he is gone I can't sleep because he isn't next to me! I don't know what I would do if he had to go out of town for more than one night at a time. One night is enough for me to miss him and be excited for him to be home. I am a total sap, I even went to satellitetvlouisvilleky.net to find out what would be on TV where he is. I thought if we couldn't be together at least we could watch the same show or movie and talk about it on the phone! I know, I know, I am a hopeless romantic! … [Read more...]
Strep Throat
With the weather being so wacky, the kids are all getting sick. We go from 40/50 degrees down to -9 pretty much over night. My daughter slowly got a sore throat, and a lite cough. While my nieces got sore throats, fevers, and pains in their stomachs. I am not sure why my daughter has not got strep but both my nieces currently have it. Do you know how to tell if your child has strep throat, or just a common cold? Strep throat usually gives you certain symptoms. The main being of course a sore throat. My nieces have been fussing for the past few days of sore throats, followed with a temperature, I knew pretty much right away it was strep. You cannot tell a child has strep just by looking at their throat, in my experience with strep, it is usually a sore throat followed by a fever. My nieces have been running a fever off and on for the past 4 days. If strep throat is left untreated they can also develop a nasty ear infection. With the weather changing so much, the kids are bound … [Read more...]

Headed Back South
Things didn't work the way they were supposed to up here in Michigan, I am going to miss my family more than anything, however, we must go back to Tennessee... I am sad and happy all in one, these last 7 months have been something else. My daughter has had the time of her life with her cousins, and my mom and I are not talking. Which is a good thing, I really needed my mom back in my life, and so did my daughter. Hopefully within the next few months we will be back in Tennessee. Until we are back home, I am somewhat stuck and cannot enter giveaways or do the reviews I am wanting to do. The reason being not sure on where to have the packages sent. Once we get back to Tennessee, I will be getting some candles made and sold. I am going to try and get some more beeswax before we head out, so that I have it, I cannot beat the price I can get it for up here. I wish there was a way to get it and have it sent to me, without it costing a ton. The more it cost the more I have to sell the … [Read more...]
