Easton's 6th Birthday: A Bowling Party

We had such a fun time celebrating Easton on Friday night!  
He picked to have a Bowling Party this year!  
As much as I missed all the party prep and fun at our house, 
the party was so much fun and everyone had a great time!  
Pizza & Cupcakes & Bowling make for a Happy Birthday Boy!

When I asked him Friday morning while we were eating donuts "what's your favorite part about a birthday?" his response was "doing something fun and being with all of our family!"
That's my boy!  










     







Happy Birthday Easton! We love you Buddy!

This is Six: Easton Garrett Farrar

Where oh where has the time gone?
The one that made us parents just 6 short years ago is S I X years old!

It has been such a joy to be a mother to this little fella.  
I said it before, and I'll say it again, if I could have a house full just like him, I would.

He's a thinker.  He's deep.  He's very literal.  He's smart.  He's tender.  He's responsible.  He's silly.  
He's an athlete.  He's handsome.  He's a lover.  He's a fantastic big brother.

I cannot wait to see what this year holds for him.

Easton Garrett, you make all our dreams as parents come true.
We LOVE you so very much!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

DIY Carpet Freshener:: Young Living Essential Oils

Who wants fresh smelling carpet?!?!?

Who has animals?  OR children?  Or Both?

Then YOU need this chemical free carpet freshener!

3 Ingredients!  That's all!

Pour 1 cup of Baking Soda into a glass or metal bowl
Add 5 drops of Thieves (Orange or Citrus Fresh is good too)
Add 10 drops of Purification
Wisk Together
Place in a Jar and let sit 30 minutes
Punch holes into the jar lid to make your 'shaker'
Get to shakin'! {aka shake it on your carpet or rugs}
Let sit another 20-30 minutes then vacume

This did 2 large area rugs, 1 closet & 2 bedrooms and I have about half the jar left.  Just place a lid on the jar with no holes and it'll keep until the next time you vacuum (unless you're like me and don't do it too often...Shhhh).

Mizuno Glove Steaming at Dicks Sporting Goods

It's no secret that we are a Baseball Family.  So when I was contacted by Mizuno to pick out a new baseball glove for Easton and have it steamed at Dicks Sporting Goods I was all in!

We picked out the Mizuno Prospect GPP1075Y1RY Youth Utility Glove.  It's royal blue with cream trim and stitching.  A very attractive glove.  It has a "Parashock palm pad and Butter Soft lining to reduce shock to minimize 'sting'".  





This week is Free Glove Steaming Week when you purchase any Mizuno Baseball or Softball glove at Dicks Sporting Goods.  

We took our new glove to Dicks Sporting Goods and got it steamed.  Steaming softens the leather quickly, making your glove GAME-READY in minutes!  Literally, it took 10 minutes.  

"The best way to break in a glove is the combination of heat and pressure. Most major leaguers put their gloves in the microwave, getting that heat element, or run over the glove with their car to get pressure. Both of these can take weeks versus minutes using the Mizuno Glove Steamer. The Glove Steamer is a safe and effective way to break in a new glove."




The Dick's Associate pounded the glove a few times with a leather mallet and rubbed some Mizuno Magical Soft Conditioner into the palm of the glove and placed it in the steamer for 1-3 minutes.  After it was steamed he pounded it a few more times and let Easton try it out.  He was able to 'chomp' the glove with ease.  He applied another coat of Magical Soft Conditioner and placed it in the steamer for a second time.  Then the glove was ready to go!  They sent us home with a sample of some Strong Oil to keep our new glove Game- Ready.  



Thank You Mizuno and Dicks Sporting Goods for getting Easton's baseball glove Game-Ready.

I received this Baseball Glove  from Mizuno for free 
in exchange for my honest thoughts on Mizuno Glove Steaming at Dicks Sporting Goods.
