Our Independence Day {WW #38 + Linky}

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Although Thursday was 4th of July, the fireworks got rescheduled to Sunday. They are held here in Jackson at Daughtry Park and are amazing!
First we tried to get SweetPea to go down the big inflatable slide with her daddy, but she wanted no part of that. Then we took her over to the jumpy house and this is as far as she would go in. So my in-laws basically donated $5 to the city of Jackson. haha. Anyways, then the girls got their faces painted and hair done. SweetPea did so good especially while getting her hair done because she had a lollipop to keep her occupied!

Face Painting for Toddlers

We all got a little bored waiting for the fireworks to start once they took the other activities away. They they started them 10 minutes late. But they were big and beautiful. It started to rain early so we got to leave early before the traffic got too crazy.

All in all, I'd say we had a fun day! How did you celebrate your fourth?

Working Out In Style #EllieAmbassador

I am sharing this review as part of being an Ellie Ambassador. I received the outfit for free to review, but all opinions are my own.

Ellie.com Review

I have seen Ellie Active Wear around the web and I always LOVED their stuff but I honestly never thought that I could look good wearing such snug work out clothes. So when I was offered the opportunity to review an outfit as an Ellie Ambassador, I jumped at the opportunity. As you might know, I have been on a weightloss journey so I won't have the blood pressure issues that I had during my first pregnancy when we decide to try for baby number two.

Ellie.com Review

Ellie makes me feel sexy while I'm working out. My friend even said how cute I looked. I love how breathable the material is. Ellie activewear is comfortable and stylish, what every working out mama needs. Ellie is an activewear brand designed for women that is both high quality and reasonably priced. The way it works is members answer a simple style quiz about their fashion and lifestyle preferences, and Ellie’s stylists will send a once-a-month customized case of workout gear. Members can join the FitFashionista club and choose two pieces per month for just $49.95.

My issue with the top is that it was dry clean only. Who has time for that with their work out clothes? I washed the top and let it air dry and that seemed to work just fine. I didn't read the instructions properly before I washed the pants and they are unraveling, my bad. I love my outfit either way and am exited that I received this opportunity.

Housewife Bootcamp: Scrubbbing Out Those Super Dirty Stains

I received free product and coupons to share this review/giveaway as part of being a Purex Insider. All opinions are my own.

I love taking my daughter to the lake. But keeping stains out of her clothes has been an up and down battle this year. She has decided that she loves to play in the sand and while it makes for adorable pictures, I don't want her clothes to get ruined.









Did you know that Borax can also be used to make your own Homemade Laundry Detergent? You can also use it to make Homemade Gak for the kiddos! Check out other uses!
