I’ve been tagged!

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on August 31, 2007

Kristi, at kaydub, tagged me with the middle name meme.

Post these rules before you give the facts.
You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. (If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.)
When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post and then choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t’ forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here we go…

M — Mommy. I am a proud mommy of six beautiful kiddos who bring much joy (and many challenges) to my otherwise boring life!

A — Artistically Challenged. I am not the most creative person and usually need a whole lot of “help” when it comes to anything that involves using the right side of my brain!

R — Ready for Anything. With six kiddos, all ages 6 and under, I have to be ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way.

I — Italian. I am 1/4 Italian and proud of it! In fact, my dad’s grandfather traveled to America when he was 16 and his name is listed in the roster on Ellis Island. There is also a bridge in Southern Italy named after his family. I’ve seen pictures of the bridge, but how cool it would be to see that bridge, in person, some day!

E — Educator. All parents are educators, to some extent, but I have taken it all the way in that I homeschool my kiddos. I currently have two in 2nd grade, one in 1st, and one in preschool. Yes, I am a busy mommy!

Now, to tag one person for each letter of my middle name…
Melissa – Our Busy Little World
Ali – My God Given Mission Field
Diane – A Day in the Life
Sheena – Sophistishe
Linsey – Facipiers and Stinky Toes

Soft and Silky Mommy Hands

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on August 31, 2007

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingSeveral weeks ago I was sent a product sample of Skin MD Natural™ to assess. After reading all about how and why this product was formulated and other people’s testimonies, I was very eager to try this lotion on my hands. So many times throughout the day do I wash my hands, the kiddos faces, the dishes, and the walls! Soon after I received my sample bottle I began using this shielding lotion and am still amazed at the results. Let me tell you, this lotion is great for tired, hard-working, over-washed mommy hands! While creating a barrier, Skin MD Natural™ hydrates your skin, making it feel extra soft. But, the best part is that it is not heavy or greasy, goes on incredibly smooth, and leaves my hands feeling wonderfully silky!

How does it work?

Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the latest developments in skin care technology as well as the most effective natural ingredients to restore your outer layer of skin’s natural ability to protect against dangerous toxins and irritants as well as to reduce the loss of natural oils and moisture. A shielding lotion replaces the barrier that’s stripped away with the daily use of most soaps and cleansers.

If your hands are used and abused as much as mine are, I am convinced that you will love Skin MD Natural™ as much as I have! But you don’t have to take my word for it… Try it for yourself!! You can purchase Skin MD Natural™ by the 4 oz bottle, the case, or the gallon by visiting SkinMDNatural.com.
Or, you can try a FREE sample by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
