Potty training, Halloween, and Simple Pleasures Giveaway Winner!

So I realise that I haven't been on much in the last few days. I have a lot on my plate right now. Not to mention the technical difficulties with my internet.  Anyway, starting this morning I have been really pushing my toddler for potty training. We've tried in the past, but it was just kinda if she wanted to. Now I'm really focused on it. I know she's ready. She tells me everytime she goes potty in her diaper, and she seems really interested in her potty chair. So last night I got a bag of treats for her. The bag is full of candy, and other treats. My friend who potty trained her 4 children suggested that I find something to encourage my daughter. Anyway, so I sat her down this morning and we had a little chat about her potty chair, her potty pants (pull-ups), and the bag of treats she gets to pick from if she does go potty. She seemed to understand. Which made me super excited. About 20 minutes later, she said "Mommy, I gotta potty". So I showed her how to take her "potty pants off" and sit on the "potty chair". And SHAZAAM! I was so happy, we both were jumping up and down in excitement. She picked a green sucker from the "treat bag", and there you go! So far she has only had an accident once, but that's because we were outside and she was a little too distracted by toys. AWESOME!! So far, so good. Day 1 down.

I suppose you all want to know who won the Simple Pleasures Giveaway that ended yesterday. Well... (drumroll please)...

Its Bridget Gilligan!

Congratulations, Bridget! I hope you enjoy your prize pack!!!
Next on the agenda, I have been trying to come up with costume ideas for my daughter for Halloween. The only one I could come up with is pebbles from the flinstones. She has the red hair, and she's the right age for it. But in my area, bambam and pebbles have been done a lot. So any of you have any suggestions? Send me a twitter @MoreSmoresMama or just leave a comment! That would be really awesome! Thanks!

Well, I hope everyone is having a lovely day, and I hope you all are having fun!
Until next time,

Simple Pleasures Pamper Yourself Giftpack Review + Giveaway from Devi Handcrafted!

September is Pamper Yourself on More Smores, as part of that I am reviewing and doing a giveaway for a giftpack from Devi Handcrafted!!!! Gotta love the simple pleasures in life!

So unbelievably excited! I recieved my giftpack from Devi Handcrafted today!! Even before now, I have absolutely loved this shop, and it's products! Handmade Jewelry, Accessories, and Soaps! So when I finally got the giftpack, I was beside myself! I couldn't wait to open it up, and see the goodies inside! 

The first thing I pulled out was the headband. I love headbands, but my head must be oddly shaped because I can never get the stretchy ones to fit and stay on. So it was love at first sight with this Flower Cabochon & Brass Filigree headband! Gorgeous! 

The second thing I pulled out was the earrings. Blue Glass Faceted Upcycled Dangle Earrings. I don't know about you, but I am in LOVE with any earrings that dangle. And these are no exception! They are soo much fun, I felt like going out dancing when I put them on. And I could wear them just about any where, from going to the grocery store, to work, to dinner or where ever! Fun, and SASSY!

The last (but definitely not least), was the Rasberry Lime Goat's Milk Soap. And who doesn't love soap? But this stuff is awesome, Rasberry scent on one side, and Lime on the other. Mixed together it smells DEVIne (haha... had to throw that in there)!!!

All in all, I was expecting some great stuff from Devi Handcrafted, and they DEVInitly (hahaha did it again) delivered!!!
