DJ & Reagan's Monster Bash!

First off the kids had a fantastic birthday party! They had so much fun playing with their friends and it was great seeing everyone! I would like to thank Stefani over at Starlight Starbright Creations for the Decorations & Monster Mouths and My friend Joy for the Goodie Bags!

We had PB&J for the kids and Deli Sandwiches for the Parents and the usual other things! I found Goldfish S'mores at the store and those were a big hit with the kids! I also made Funfetti Cupcakes & Red Velvet Cupcakes for dessert and let everyone put the frosting and other toppings on them!

The kids received a lot of cool presents and a lot of gift cards! They could not stop saying thank you, which was very sweet!

Are you ready for the Photo Overload?!?

{all of the food!!}
 {All of the kids had a blast playing on the kids new swing set!}
 {Mr. DJ and his silly mouth!}
 {From what I understand, Reagan fell of her horse while eating a chip and ran into the kitchen looking for me. She was startled and I think the chip might have scratched her throat and it scared her. So she ran into the bathroom and threw up and then passed out on the couch for a good hour.. Hey, its her party and she can cry pass out if she wants to!}
 {Some of the party guests :) }
 {Stefani and Drew! She did all of the decorations for me!}

 {Had to wake Reagan up so she could open her presents... At first she wanted nothing to do with them, but then realized what they were.. lol}

Downy UNSTOPABLE Review!

Last night I got a "Blogger Exclusive" Full Size Downy UNSTOPABLES Laundry Scent Booster from Vocalpoint! I am a member there and this is the first offer/review I get to do with them! I get to share with you an Exclusive Peek of Downy's New Product since it has only hit select stores! I also got a pair of cute comfy socks with it!

I just pulled my clothes out of the dryer after using this in the wash and oh my goodness... My clothes smell absolutely amazing and fresh! I love the fresh scent and its also not over empowering. My kids even love the fresh scent. I have been catching them sniffing their clothes :) It makes me want to rewash all of my other clothes so they smell fresh like this too!

What is it you might ask?!?

Downy UNstopables is a new laundry scent booster! The dissolving scent beads go in before you start the wash - so more scent infuses into your clothes, sheets and towels - and the freshness lasts for more than 30 days.*{in storage.}

{don't mind the horrible background, just focus on that amazing product!}

How it works!

Downy UNSTOPABLES goes directly into the washer drum to infuse a fresh, unstoppable scent. It can be used with or without your fabric softener and it is safe for all colors, fabrics and loads!

-- Shake a little or a lot into the cap
-- Toss into drum of HE or Regular washer before you start the wash
-- Drop in any machine-washable clothes, towels and other fabrics
-- Enjoy lasting fresh scent

** Do not put in your liquid dispenser or dryer.

I love Vocalpoint and you should too!!! So make sure you go sign up at Vocalpoint and start getting the rewards! They will be having another exclusive Downy UNSTOPABLES sample offer coming soon!!! Plus they have a lot of other great product reviews!

Go... Hurry! What are you waiting for?!?
