There are some real benefits to having your baby photographed by a professional. This is a time to be remembered and cherished forever! Besides babies only stay babies for a short time and they are so darn cute!

The Smith family has been blessed to have discovered “Life of the Party SD” for this very special time in our lives. Leah Steiger, is much more than a photographer; she is a friend with a treasured talent and generous spirit.

Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa Sampler and #Giveaway #TootsieRollHotCocoa



Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa Sample

As America’s favorite chewy chocolate candy, the Tootsie Roll has remained unchanged since it was first introduced in New York City in 1896. Now, there’s another way to enjoy the perfectly chocolaty tastes from the entire Tootsie Roll candy line which include Junior mints, Charleston Chew, and Sugar Babies. Two Rivers has created a new line of creamy hot cocoas based on those iconic candy flavors in single serve cups so you can enjoy each of them, one hot and delicious cup at a time.

Do you say Hot Cocoa or Hot Chocolate? Anyway you say it; this warm beverage is just what you need on a cold bleak day. Oma does not drink hot chocolate a lot; however every now and then that childhood longing arises. Therefore Oma was thrilled when Two Rivers Coffee sent a 40 pack of these Tootsie Roll Hot Chocolate K-Cups Samples to review.

Tootsie Roll Hot Cocoa Sample
Oma does not have a K-Cup brewing machine. However you do not need one for these. Oma just poured the contents in a cup, added hot water, and stirred. 

I love the fact that these are all single servings and thereby will have a great shelf life! They were all tasty, but the Junior Mint flavor was my favorite! As I added the hot water, the aroma of mint took me back to the movies! 

Each single serving is 70 calories.

Tip: This cocoa pack is NOT COMPATIBLE with Keurig 2.0 machines.

MeasuPro OX100 Instant Read Pulse Oximeter Review #MeasuProProducts



MeasuPro OX100 Instant Read Pulse Oximeter


The MeasuPro OX100 Pulse Oximeter is designed to accurately provide vital information about your blood oxygen saturation levels and pulse rate through a simple, fast, and pain free process. It combines accuracy, durability, and convenience in one neat product and has an integrated SPO2 probe. This smart precision oximeter can be used to detect underlying illnesses such as cardiac insufficiency, respiratory diseases, asthma, or even heart failure.

The MeasuPro OX100 Pulse Oximeter uses two optical sensors: red light and infrared. The device can be used for anesthesiology and to diagnose sleeping disorders such as apnea. It is also suitable for athletes doing sports such as running, mountaineering, skiing, and aviation.

Oma really likes how the MeasuPro OX100 Pulse Oximeter’ large size and bright digits make measurements easily visible. It is crafted of high quality material with a really fast response time read-out. The Oximeter features a five-second auto shutoff function and the device will automatically power off after inactivity. It also has a low battery level indicator. I am definitely not a medical professional, but this device is very easy to use. It comes with a soft carrying case, a lanyard, the product manual, and two AAA batteries; everything you need to get started!

Big Boy Time at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park



Oma and Mom spent the day at Auntie Sierra's bridal shower.  That left Reef and his Dad time for some fun Father and Son time.

They spent the afternoon at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park!  The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, known as the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800 acre zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in San Diego County. 

For this special occasion Reef and his Dad dressed alike including  their 'Valley Center Skate Spot' T-Shirt!


Recent studies have suggested that children whose fathers are actively involved with them from birth are more likely to be emotionally secure, confident in exploring their surroundings, have better social connections with peers as they grow older, are less likely to get in trouble at home and at school, and are less likely to use drugs and alcohol. Children with fathers who are nurturing, involved, and playful also turn out to have higher IQs and better linguistic and cognitive capacities. (source)
