Snug & Tug Swaddle
This is how my wonderfull mother put it together lol!!

http://www.mypreciouskid.com/

Wonderfully Planned out a well executed website!

Okie dokie ladies I received one of the best darn things I could ever imagine. Little bit of history here. Exavier was born with severe hypoglycemia, acid reflux and they claimed he could be deaf. He was NICU forever! I never got the gift of initial bonding with him as he had to stay under warming lights. So every since hes been home I dont put him down (bad mommy) well now that he is getting bigger and of course my 8 other little cherubs have been WAY patient. All he does is cry cry cry cry and cry some more. I have tried EVERYTHING! And he wont sleep without being on mommy's chest. BUT..... I have found my savior! The SNUG AND TUG SWADDLER from My Precious Kid is a life saver. Exavier now will stay cuddled and relax and he also has been sleeping on his own Praise God and this special blankie. Kay has truly come up with a gem here. Not only is this blanket absolutely beautifull for a boy or a girl it has been through hell this week. As we all know I have 4 under 4. This blankie has been snagged more than you could even imagine. They are even fighting over it. But it has made it through. Ickys and yuckies of a stomach bug (GROSS) washed 4 times been dragged through the mud (literally) washed 2 more times and made it through a toddler boy brawl! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! It still looks brand new, does not stretch out easily and the velcro stays perfect even after 6 washes. Can you guys tell I love this blanket! I plan on ordering two more just because I want them on hand! They are roomie, soft and very durable! Kay I definately give you 5 Booty Shakes !!!!!! Customer service is a 10 as well of the wonderfull and easy to read directions!! Ladies go visit Kay and check out her personalized pacifiers are to die for lol. I personally love the mute button one! Go go run hurry check her out!

Wacky Wednesdays With A WAHM

2008-04-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

Ok so here at the Hip Hop Mama Shop I have been looking and looking for a UNIQUE WAHM! Not to offend anyone but I was looking for a certain type of woman for this Wacky Wednesday. And low and behold she was right under my nose! I have known Christie for a couple of months now and I have to tell you she is VERY VERY creative. I am intrigued yet afraid to read her books. Her website www.christiesilvers.com is so packed full of information about Christie, after reading it you would think she was your best friend! So I have asked Christie to share with us, in public lol so she couldnt say no...... and she still said HELL NO, how rude lol but she decided to grace us anyway! Read below for her personal biography and please please check out her site www.christiesilvers.com You will be enticed................................

The Hip Hop Mama Shop gives Christie Silvers 5 BOOTY SHAKES!!!

******DISCLAIMER****** My Junior "Board Members "were not included in this review

I am a wife, mother, and writer. I have been married to my husband, Tim, for 14 years and we have three lovely (yet spoiled) daughters. Tim and I married at the age of seventeen and have stuck together through thick and thin.

On the writing side of things, I currently have over 180 published articles, one humorous parenting book, and two paranormal romance novels for your reading pleasures. I am currently writing two more paranormal romance novels with four more waiting in the background begging to know when their turn will be. Yes, my books speak to me! How else would someone have so many stories to tell? LOL!

My first book was Toddler Logic: 50 Things That Your Toddler Wants You to Know. I wrote it in the spring of 2007 while I was watching my youngest daughter play at my feet. I was pulled toward that theme by the memories of my daughters as toddlers. What better time in a child's life than toddlerhood? They have so much fun, energy, excitement for life.

After that book was completed it was time for me to jump into the genre that had been a passion in my life for as long as I can remember being able to read. I've always been fascinated with the paranormal; particularly with vampires and werewolves. I've always devoured any and all books that I could get my hands on when they have vampires and werewolves in them. I watched horror movies from a very early age, and while all other children were having nightmares, I was begging for more.

So it was no wonder that my first book was a paranormal romance novel centered around the love between a vampire and his werewolf female. That's when A Midnight Infatuation was born. But it didn't end there! I recently released book two, A Birth at Dawn, about the same two characters. Their life is so interesting that I couldn't stop with just one book, or even two, so I am currently writing book three in the Alex & Fiona series titled A Twilight Abduction. Be on the look out for its release around October 2008.

As you can see, my life revolves around two things...my family and my writing! I am grateful for every day that I get to spend with both.

If you are interested in learning more about me or my books, feel free to stop by my website and blog.

Sand Castle Blessings

2008-04-11T19:53:00.000-07:00

It was the perfect day. The sun was shining, the sky was a vibrant blue, the clouds were pillows of cotton and the breeze was light and cool. God’s creatures were enjoying the day and so I decided, my three year old son and I must too!

We drove off to the community lake. My son and I were alone walking the lake shore for only a few minutes when we came upon the most intricately built sand castle country I had ever seen. There were many small sand castles along roads that traveled through tall sand bridges. A mote was carved into the sand with water from the lake flowing through it. Over the mote a tree bark draw bridge led to a large sand castle on a sand island all its own. There were duck feather flags proudly displayed from sand castle turrets whose feathers gently swayed in the breeze. This sand castle country was so inspiring, I could almost see the prince and princess kissing in the castle window, the town’s people hurrying through the streets and knights riding on horse back across the bridges.

Oh, how I wished I had brought a camera! Surely my photograph of this sand castle country would win the annual "Life in Our County" photo contest this year! I considered going home to retrieve my camera, but I knew my young son would not understand our sudden departure and be very distressed at having to leave so soon. So, we continued walking along the lake. My son chattered excitedly about butterflies and caterpillars and I planned to return later in the day to take a photograph of the sand castle country. I thought about angles and lighting and how this photo would be an unspoken tribute to life in our county.

A short while later, a woman with a boy just a few years older than my son joined us at the lakeside. The young boy ran to play with my son and I began chatting with the woman. We both kept an eye on the children.

I watched as the children played along the lakeside. Little by little their play brought them closer and closer to the sand castle country. I thought, just wait until the boy and his Grandmother see the sand castle country! Then, all of a sudden, the boy spotted the sand castle country and jumped upon it stamping every last bit of it into mere grains of sand on the beach. Duck feathers and tree bark began floating away in the lake, now just debris. The boys Grandmother took no notice of this atrocity at all!

My mouth opened to scream my dismay at this callous offense, but no sooner did I open my mouth, I closed it again and bit my tongue. Why should this young boy or his Grandmother see that sand castle country as a work of art just because I did? How could that young boy possibly know he just destroyed my winning photo dream?

The children continued playing, the Grandmother continued talking and I was thinking, how like life itself that sand castle country was. One minute it had a life of its own and the next it was crushed under a heavy weight. Just like my winning photo dream had just been. Then I returned to the conversation at hand and to keeping an eye on the children playing and enjoying the beautiful day. Soon the sand castle country was forgotten.

A couple of hours later, while driving home from the lake, I thought of the sand castle country once more and how it had been destroyed along with my prize winning photo dream. Then I realized, it wasn’t a sand castle country or a prize winning photo that really mattered at all. What really mattered was a young boy instantly befriended my son. If he had not done so, my son who is an only child, would have spent yet another day without a playmate. Beside me walked a woman who instantly befriended me. If she had not done so, my day would have been a little emptier then it had turned out to be.

God taught me a lesson that day. For every disappointment that life lays at our feet, in return it gives us two blessings. We just have to open our eyes and our hearts to find them.

I Dont Care (contributed by Jenn Rogers MUIB Founder)

2008-04-05T20:55:00.000-07:00

Who you once were.How much money you have or don't have.What sins and regrets you may carry within your heart from the past or present.What hardships you have endured so far in this life.What others may think of you...What I do care about is this:For you, my friend, to realize your own worth. To know you are worthy of the dreams and desires you keep tucked away within your heart and soul. I do care, that for once in your life, you find within you the courage and strength to realize your own great potential, that you stop making excuses for why your dreams, desires, wishes and wants are not important.From one friend to another, from one sister to another, I want to gently remind you of a few things you may have forgotten along the way....You are beautiful.You have many gifts, and it is up to you to use them.You are perfect as you are, imperfections and all.You have a light shining within you, and the power to use it for your own greater good.You have been your own worst enemy for way to long.Embrace yourself, love yourself, and know that whatever your own personal dreams, desires and goals you may have in this life, that you do have everything within you to make that your own reality.The excuses you come up with, the reasons why you can't are merely symptoms of your fear. If I never do another thing to inspire you or motivate you, I want YOU to fi nd your passion and your purpose, and start today in becoming the woman you have always been destined to be. You have a purpose my friend. You can and you will do this....why? Because I was once like you, and I decided once and for all to do everything I can to be the woman God intended me to be. We get one life, one chance...do not waste it on fear, regret or self-loathing. ....Stop hiding in the shadows, stand up, stand out and SHINE....It IS YOUR TIME to shine, my friend. This has been going on long enough. You can do this, and if you need a helping hand, a friend, encouragement, you can always count on me.
Whatcha waiting for?
