Shining Stars Pups For Graduates For All Ages! Giveaway!
If students haven’t graduated already, they will be graduating soon. To celebrate the achievement of graduating, I wanted to host a giveaway! I planned on hosting this giveaway sooner, but things have been kind of hectic during the last week of pregnancy and then during the first weeks of welcoming a newborn into the household. I apologize, but better late than never right? I feel like such a deadbeat blogger!
RUSS Shining Stars Autograph Graduation Puppies have been released just in time for the graduation season! Each Shining Stars Autograph Graduation Puppy comes with a matching autograph pen and ‘Congratulations’ embroidered on its body. Made of canvas, graduates can collect congratulatory signatures from family and friends! In addition, every Shining Stars Friend comes with the opportunity to register and name your star with the International Star Registry. Shining Stars Autograph Graduation Puppies are perfect for graduates of all ages!
For a chance to win a Shining Stars® Autograph Graduation Puppy: Leave a comment telling me who you would give your Shining Stars Autograph Graduation Puppy to and when they are graduating or when they did graduate. There will be 6 winners! Winners will be chosen May 18th 2008 7PM CST so that I can get the pups out ASAP!

Ocean Spray Cranergy Energy Juice
After having Jayden, I came home to Ocean Spray’s new Cranergy energy juice. Talk about right on time. I hardly got ANY sleep in the hospital. I was a new mom, and I NEEDED an energy boost. The doctor of course told me to get plenty of rest. No cleaning, no laundry, no shopping. Well, the first day home I sipped on Cranergy, did a load of laundry, did some organizing, and went shopping for baby stuff later that night. I’m the type of person that will get depressed if I lay around, so I HAD to break doctor’s orders.
Cranergy helps restore natural energy in the body and contains 50% less calories than leading energy drinks. Cranergy contains vitamin b which support healthy energy production, vitamin c which helps boost the immune system, cranberry juice and green tea extract which both contain high levels of antioxidants that help the body fight free radicals and stay healthy, and offer a natural source of caffeine.
Cranergy comes in Cranberry Lift and Raspberry Cranberry Lift flavors. I was able to try Cranberry Lift and found it to be delicious. I can’t stand the taste of regular cranberry juice, so I love the fact that Cranergy isn’t as strong as regular cranberry juices.
Thanks to Ocean Spray, I will be picking up both flavors during our next grocery visit!

Going To Relax…
Today we are hitting the road so that Jayden can meet family. We’re going to use this week to relax. Nothing much has been going on. Greg’s done with school for the summer. I’m getting over the Baby Blues and I’m enjoying our little man 
.
I had the best Mother’s Day ever! Greg proposed with a ring! It’s official now

What do you do when the city keeps refusing to take your trash? They claim the can is too heavy. Wimps…

For Instant Hipness, Just Add PeaceLoveMom Tees
Here I am at 36 weeks pregnant doing a little “nesting”. While nesting and patiently waiting Jayden’s arrival, I happen to be wearing the Lucky Mom Cantaloupe Soft Tee from PeaceLoveMom. I’m also holding up Jayden’s PeaceLoveBaby Tee! I couldn’t wait until the day that I got to see him wearing it. Little did I know he would show up 2 weeks later! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was staring at my belly wondering when he was going to come out and poof here he is today 9 days old already! I’m already having those I don’t want him to grow up mommy moments. I was actually having them while pregnant too. Now that I’m not pregnant anymore, I kinda miss it.
Here is my little Doughboy sporting his Peace Love Baby Tee! The pacifier was inserted in order for him to cooperate. I kinda woke him up, but it was time for him to nurse anyway. He was a pretty good boy, dontcha think?
The Lucky Mom Cantaloupe Soft Tee is now one of my favorite tees to wear. As you can see I couldn’t wait until after delivery to wear it. I wore it while pregnant. You can probably guess that I packed it in my overnight bag to wear out of the hospital. If that wasn’t your guess, just know that I left the hospital a proud mom wearing the Lucky Mom Cantaloupe Soft Tee!
PeaceLoveMom defines Motherhood in hip attire. I love the fact that their line of clothing for mom and baby is designed with bright colors and the vintage look that I love. Just because you’re a mother doesn’t mean you have to replace your wardrobe full of frumpiness. Baby doesn’t have to suffer either. He/she can look just as haute as you.
Consider giving the gift of PeaceLoveMom apparel and accessories for Mother’s Day! Order today to ensure that your gift arrives by Mother’s Day.

Back In Action
Alrighty, I think Greg and I pretty much have our life back on schedule. We really didn’t get thrown off much. We were in the hospital from April 26th - April 28th and during that stay we hardly got any sleep due to the nurses checking in every 5 minutes. They had to constantly check my vitals, Jayden’s vitals, push on my stomach, poke me, remove things, give us forms, etc. The one thing that drove me nuts was the chart that they kept referring to, they recommended that I charted diaper changes and feedings. Hello I just gave birth, I am miserably tired, I don’t have time for homework. I know when I nursed and changed my baby, I don’t need to write it down.
The staff at the hospital was great. I know it’s standard procedure to bug the mother’s to death so even though I’m complaining, I understand the importance of what they do. Labor went really well. I’ll be writing about it, but for now you can read Greg’s point of view as it was happening. *tear*
I uploaded pictures of Jayden to flickr. One day next week we’re going to get some outdoor shots with him.
In honor of me becoming a mommy, Greg and I are throwing a Mother’s Day giveaway. Everyone is invited to enter!
Well I must go now. I have a few more posts to write, they will appear underneath this one. They include giveaways! I still have to get new themes up for Sophistishe & Mommy Daddy Blog. In due time. If you are new here and would like to stay current with Sophistishe, subscribe to my feed.
