I have never really been a huge fan of board games.

I know, I know, this admission probably makes me sound like the worst mother ever.

But, whatever.

I didn’t like them when I was younger. And I don’t like them now.

The kids cheat and fight. Dumb Dad cheats and trash talks. It’s hard to find something that the four year old AND the ten year old can enjoy. And they take FOREVER to end. Unless I cheat too. And,while I’m not above that, I find it an exercise in excess creativity I don’t really have.

Maybe it’s just the type of board games we’ve been playing?!

Recently Blue Orange Games sent us Spot it.

It is a symbol matching game that for some reason my kids, my husband, and I all love to play!

You can’t cheat. There’s nothing to fight over. And it’s appropriate for every member of our family, from the 4 year old on up (although, technically, the game is geared towards kids 7 & up, he is a pretty savvy 4 and has had no problem having a blast with us and this game).

It’s easy to play, doesn’t require a lot of set up, doesn’t take FOREVER to finish, so it’s no wonder that we love, love, love it.

It’s even perfect for road trip fun in the back seat because all you need is the cards and, um, eyes!

I went online to check out some of Blue Orange’s other gaming options and honestly, they make so many perfect titles for my Dudes.  So many of their games are active, noisy, and filled with the kind of fun my boys were made for!

I love having pretty, flawless, manicured nails. I love the personality a sassy color or fun pattern can bring to my fingertips. As a mom, I really don’t have the time or patience to sit, paint my nails, and let them dry (and forget about any pattern or design- an artist I am not).

So, to say the least, I am going absolutely crazy over my discovery of Jamberry Nails! These easy-to-apply (and remove) nail shields come in a huge variety (over 150 options) of colors and patterns. Applied by heat and pressure, Jamberry Nails require no chemicals in their application or removal. They can last up to two weeks on fingernails and four to six weeks on toenails. I love that there are no fumes, messes, or drying time involved.

Jamberry Nails are the perfect accessory to show team/school spirit, celebrate holidays, or simply to coordinate with an outfit. They are also great to mix and match since there are so many designs to choose from.

A few more of my favorites:

Birds – Gray & Yellow Horizontal Stripe – Neutral Paisley

I am excited to try Jamberry Nails on my 3 year old daughter. She is totally into getting her nails done and I’m sure she would go nuts over the Pink Butterflies design. And no drying time or mess would make my daughter and me both very happy.

{heart} It

Jamberry Nails are the perfect nail accessory to give your nails some personality and attain a flawless manicure or pedicure. With so many styles and designs to choose from, I {heart} this product big time.  They can be purchased at the Jamberry Nails site.

She {hearts} Freebies

Kristin, my Jamberry Nails independent consultant, is offering one sheet (up to three applications) of Jamberry Nails to one She {hearts} It reader. The winner gets to choose their favorite design!

Those who know us, know that we are a family on the go. From the many times we have moved (7 times in 9 years) – to the spontaneous trips we take. Even if its just a day trip – going requires a lot with 3 kids.

We recently made a trip to Atlanta – where I had a gig to photograph some baby carriers for a company. With the trip I not only had to tote boxes of baby carriers, I also had our diaper bag, hoodies (since it was chilly that day) and 30 lb two year old. It was a lot! All of it honestly would not have fit into our stroller.

The Might Max Cart was a great option. It is easy to control, light weight and can withstand the beating and weight of a couple grown men. So I knew, it would be great for us.

{heart} It

The Mighty Max Cart comes with a life time warranty.

It never Rust!

It will never have a flat tire :)

& best of all it is made in the USA. No “made in china” stamp on this item.

So if you love to garden, travel with the kids, make trips to the beach or park and really just want a great product to help from time to time with a move. The Might Max Cart is a perfect fit.

She {hearts} Freebies

Mighty Max is generously giving away one of these great carts to one of our readers.

If you’ve been a fan of She {hearts} It for a year now – you may have seen our initial reviews on Loving Naturals back in July of 2011.

Loving Naturals has been a part of our family ever since. It is a line we will use for as long as they are running! I am so glad I discovered them last year and share their info as often as I can, especially come summer time :)

You can read my original reviews on Loving Naturals at the links below:
Loving Naturals Body Wash/Lotion
Loving Naturals Bug Spray (a must for camping!)
Loving Naturals Sun Screen

We really do love them :) – I featured them three times last year!

I loved knowing as I lathered my kids up in the Sun screen, that it was safe for them. Free from harmful chemicals, yet still strong enough to protect them from to much sun.

{heart} It

If you are looking for a great sun screen, safe for your family.

Check out the Loving Naturals Line.

Loving Naturals also carries amazing Sun Screen, anti-aging creams (which I have been using, tightens up those pores beautifully!), body washes, lotions, chap sticks and much more. It is a great shop to save in your book marks and share with your friends. We will never go back to store Sun Screen. Loving Naturals is it for our family :)

She {hearts} Freebies

I recently stumbled upon a fabulous blog, written by Trina Holden, called All That Is Good.  She’s really a breath of fresh air, and she has written an excellent eBook called Real {Fast} Food.  This eBook is full of great tips and tricks on how to incorporate healthy whole foods into your diet, without spending all day in the kitchen.  She shares her family recipes as well, several of which we have tried and enjoyed.

I’ve got my list of things I want to try posted in my kitchen and I’ll continue working through it.  I’m just really thankful to have found a way to save some time and still eat the way I want to.

Watch this cute promo video made by Trina and her son for more information on Real {Fast} Food.

Real {Fast} Food is available for just $6.

Trina is offering a free copy of her eBook to 2 lucky readers!

To Enter: Check out Real {Fast} Food either at the website or by watching the promo video.  Then post your comment here with one thing you look forward to learning from the eBook.

There are often two types of music in my car at any given time: (1) “me” music and (2) “kid” music. As a mom of four little ones, the “me” music is rarely heard (unless I am driving by myself) since the “kid” music is always on!  Can anyone else relate?

Well, if this is a dilemma in your car,  keep reading because I have a CD that solves the problem! I have found “kid” music that I love and choose to listen to even when there are no kids in the car! Scripture Lullabies features beautiful, classical music, with accompanying words that are straight from Scripture.  So, not only is the music soothing and peaceful, but everyone listening to the music is learning Bible verses without even knowing it! That’s a WIN-WIN in our family :)

{heart} It

Even now, as I type this post, I can hear the music coming from their rooms. As they sleep peacefully, the words to the songs are reminding them of God’s love, God’s grace, and God’s plan. I have children who sleep peacefully through the night, who wake up in good moods, and who know the words to the songs (and therefore Scripture verses) without the effort of rote memorization!

Here’s another testimony from the Scripture Lullabies website about the influence of their music:

“This powerfully peaceful music is helping children sleep soundly, free from nightmares, while also providing some much needed peace for mom and dad.  It’s the perfect baby gift but as you listen, you’ll understand why so many adults are buying their own copy or several to give as gifts to friends and family members.  One out of every 10 “Hidden in My Heart” CDs is donated to Pregnancy Resource centers around the country, so by purchasing this CD, our customers are blessing more than just their own family.”

We also get to pick TWO lucky winners! The winners can choose to receive either a physical CD or digital download of their choice: Hidden in your Heart Vol. I or Hidden in your Heart Vol. II. (We own both and they are equally wonderful!)
To Enter: For a chance to win, leave a comment with how you’d use this CD. Would you give it as a gift to an expectant mom? Would you keep it for yourself and play it in the car for your kids (and you)? Would you play it in the living room while your kids are playing?
