New start?

I decided to delete all my earlier post except the reviews.  The other posts just seemed like they did not fit.  So I'm starting over.  :)

I'm a 21 year old mother that loves beauty products and crafts. I'm not really great but I make polymer clay jewelry and I'm trying to sew. I'm really into t-shirt reconstruction and I'm interested in learning how to knit. I am currently unemployed so I will not be able to post the newest beauty products at the moment.
I've worked in fast food for the last 2 years and just got tired of it. I went to an open interview for JoAnn's and I am really hoping I get the job. It would absolutely be the most amazing job ever, definitely since I'm trying to go back to school to become a medical assistant.
My daughter is 5 months old today! Her name is Abby and she is my life :)
I also have the greatest boyfriend ever! Even if he is X-Box obsessed..well actually Call of Duty is his obsession.

I will also try to update at least once a week.

Felix Fire Truck by Manhattan Toy (ebeanstalk)

I received a baby toy from ebeanstalk.com for review. The toy that was sent was a lot more than I expected and Abby loved it. We received Felix Fire Truck which lights up and clicks when rolled, and vibrates when the water hose is pulled. Every time Abby tries to play with this toy she chews on poor Felix.  After a while Abby did finally stop chewing and let me show her how to make it click and vibrate. I don't think she is quite old enough for this toy, just yet anyways. This toy is intended for 6 months+ and she is only 4 months (almost 5) but I'm guessing if I give her a few more weeks she will be moving the truck to hear the click and lights with out my help.  Ebeanstalk has a wide variety of learning toys. Also I am quite impressed with their selection of unique toys like the Tizoo! Which I am planning on buying soon! :)

Over all Abby really enjoyed this toy and I have now found a perfect website for toys for my daughter and also for future gifts.

* I did receive this toy for review, so no I did not buy it but I promise this is a honest review. If you have any questions comment or email me. Also I had lost the pictures of the first day she got the toy so I did have to take new ones so that is why the date is the same as the date of blog posting.

ebeanstalk.com review

Ebeanstalk Review

Ebeanstalk.com is a website that offers developmental toys for kids based in Connecticut. At first I thought the toys would be blocks and books but once I actually looked at the website I was pleasantly surprised, they had tons of fun toys that were both educational AND fun. My favorite part is the instruction card that comes with each toy. The card gives graduated play ideas, skills developed by playing with toys,and target age for the toy.
Ebeanstalk is very easy to navigate, with categories including
toys by age, boy or girl, and by the different types of toys. The only problem that I could find with this website is that the slide show might run slow on a slower internet connection. It showed fine on my computer but if you have dial-up it may take a while to load. Oh and shipping is free for orders $65 and over, which is very easy to spend with all the great toys. I definitely recommend this site. :)

So check it out.

Delish Beads

Delish Beads
website etsy

The shop is based in Seattle, she sells resin beads,decoden supplies,acrylic beads, and plastic cabochons. I think all of her stuff is super cute. She also sells Swarovski Crystal rhinestones, which I guess is part of the decoden supplies category.
I ordered off her website because I have never ordered off of Etsy so I used PayPal which I thought I knew how to use but I get confused really easily and I thought I didnt fill out the form correctly. The owner of Delish Beads was super nice and helped me with my questions I had. They also have FREE shipping everywhere in the world which is pretty sweet. I ended up buying only 2 things which I wish I had a little bit more cash on hand so I could have bought some of the super cute cupcake cabochons. I bought 2 3mm Swarovski Crystal Components Rhinestones - Crystal - 50 piece set, I spent 7.99 which I know sounds a bit much..but it ended up being cheaper since I did not have to pay shipping :)
Anyways it took 8 days to get to me from the day I purchased which really isn't that bad since I do live in Georgia.

In all I will definitely purchase from this store and also I recommend this store to anyone that is into cute decorative stuff..plus free shipping is always awesome :)
