Convenience is also very welcome in our busy summertime routines. As we finish the last few weeks of baseball, it seems we are rushing out the door as soon as the kids get home from school. Dinner has to be fast and easy on those nights!
I was shopping in Walmart the other day, and noticed that Tombstone has new limited edition pizzas like Bratwurst and Diablo.
I picked some up because they were a very good price and looked great. I thought they would be perfect for days we are rushing off to practice or when we are just hanging out at home enjoying some fun in the sun.
This weekend we had a fun day at home for very little effort or money. The kids had a blast drawing on the driveway with inexpensive sidewalk chalk, running through the sprinkler, playing with some inexpensive water squirters and we all enjoyed a dinner of Tombstone Bratwurst pizza and homemade strawberry limeade.
The pizza was a huge hit, delicious and cheesy and the Bratwurst that complemented it perfectly. The fresh sliced strawberries made our ice-cold, limeade extra special and we ended the night with a movie.
We spent very little but our memories and enjoyment of the day were priceless. Follow Tombstone on Facebook and Twitter. Please share your ideas for having fun without spending a lot of money this summer. I would love to hear your ideas.
Mommy Ramblings was so pleased to be invited to a Sprint Sound Session Event in NYC a few weeks ago. The Event was held in Manhattan at the elegant Lambs Club which is right in Times Square.
Once inside we were greeted greeted by representatives of Mom Central who directed us to the event room and outdoor patio where we were introduced to reps from Sprint and HTC while enjoying delicious appetizers and drinks.
The conversation was bright, welcoming, and informative focusing on the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition phone. The HTC representative demonstrated the fabulous features of the limited edition phone. He explained that the phone has dual frontal stereo speakers with built-in amplifiers and exclusive Harman Kardon AE-S headphones with extended bass response. The phone features Clari-Fi which is a revolutionary Harman technology that restores all types of compressed digital music and “rebuilds” what was lost in compression. Clari-Fi gives new life to compressed media files. Music simply sounds better!
The HTC One M8 gives you the ability to take truly stunning portrait photography and pictures with unique, fun and creative special effects. In a smartphone first, HTC’s Duo Camera features a dual lens that captures depth of field information and provides an entirely new set of editing tools. After taking a photo, the UFocus capability uses the depth information collected by the dual lens camera to give you professional-looking portraits. Great for bloggers who are always taking pictures!
We then had a wonderful lunch followed by the Sprint and HTC representatives introducing their partnerships and exciting products available through Sprint, including Spotify, and the Harman Kardon sound package. The event ended with a performance by Jermaine Paul, season 2 winner of The Voice. Jermaine performed 3 songs which were awesome and ended with a photo and signing session. It was a very well put together event.
Sprint Sound Sessions is a premium package of music and privileges for Sprint customers and includes:
Sprint Sound Sessions is the ultimate choice for customers who want a more complete and active music experience. If music is something you take seriously then you will want Sprint for you wireless provider. There are even discounted Spotify plans for Sprint Framily Plan members beginning with a 6 month free premium membership and then paying only $5-$8 a month depending on family size.
We take our music very seriously so we are really impressed with this phone. The phone also included a set of Harman/Kardon ear buds at a value of $149 complete with volume, play/pause buttons, we just love these! The styling of the phone is super sharp with its black finish accented with champagne gold. Just by looking at the phone you know it’s special! We love all the features but the sound quality is one of the best! Truly a dream come true for music lovers!

Closer To Nature Bottles Feature:
Revolutionary nipple developed with breastfeeding experts and moms to mimic the breast’s natural flex, stretch and movement, closer to nature bottles makes feeding time easier for mom and baby. The soft silicone nipple feels like skin, and gently elongates and flexes during feeding to mimic natural breastfeeding action.
The compact shape of Closer to Nature bottles allows baby to feed in a natural position and to be closer to mom or dad. The easy hold bottle can be held in 3 ways–cradled comfortably in the hand, gripped in the same way as a traditional wide neck bottle, or held from the base.
The slow flow nipple with a super sensitive valve eliminates excessive air flow, so little ones ingest more milk and less air.
Closer to Nature bottles and nipples are easy to clean and fill. They are microwave and dishwasher safe, yet light and easy to hold. The easy hold bottle is marked in millimetres and ounces and has a hygiene seal cap to keep germs out and drips in.

breast.
She is for the collector and these dolls go up in value as their limited editions sell out quickly. Master Piece Doll Collectors adore these vinyl kids. I can totally see why after I opened her. She is absolutely stunning! She looks so real and the way she is jointed let’s you pose her in so many ways.
Many collectors redress the dolls and display them throughout their home. I have seen gorgeous displays of the dolls dressed in Christmas dresses or Easter. The dolls are made so it’s easy to find children’s clothing to fit them well. Miss Cutie Patootie wears a size 4T and a size 7 shoe. I plan to post a video of her soon that I will add but here are some pics you may enjoy, that is, if you like dolls. If you don’t, you might want to jump to another post.
