For HER Eyes Only - Week 4 - No. 30

Recently, the new Royals like Kate and Pippa have made pantyhose hot again.  Not the kind you are thinking of, the thick and matte support hose but the sheer, nude and buttery.  In America, we have been turning our noses up at pantyhose for years but over in Europe they love them.  I've never before thought of pantyhose to be sexy but it also turns out that men love them!  They love them in the way that they are reminded of their school teachers who used to wear them, don't kid yourself those ladies were the first to arouse our men.  Men think about secretaries, school teachers and prom dates when they see pantyhose, long legs with a shiny finish...it's a turn on for them.

For HIS Eyes Only - Week 5 - No. 97

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a relationship is to just make each other orgasm.  Fortunately, in this day and age with all the toys and online shops and adult stores in towns that's easier than ever.  When hubby came home from work on Friday he had a gift wrapped box just for me. We share a bank account so I knew he'd been to some sort of adult store but what he bought was a mystery and had me intrigued.  Again, the thoughts of what are we going to do, what did he buy for me ran through my head.

When I saw this sweater in Old Navy, I really wanted it!  C is for Chevalley after all but I wasn't going to pay $35 for it so I waited and like all things in life (for the most part), it went on sale and I snagged it up!  I like this look.  It's easy, it's kind of preppy and I can still look put together but comfortable at the same time!

It has recently come to my attention that there is an absolutely idiotic woman out there in the world named Amy Glass.  She has come to light in the last day or so because of this horrible writing piece.  Apparently this isn't her first idiotic post like this one I just found about how women only have kids to not be lonely.  I came across this horrible writer through my friend Stephanie over at The Mom in Black who has retaliated in a similar manner to what I'm about to.  Are there really stupid women like this in the world?

First, let's get this straight.  I'm a woman, I'm a feminist but in the most liberal manner probable.  I support all women, except when they attack first with vicious words like Amy Glass did.  Second, I'm a mother.  I've been a working mother for the first year of my oldest daughters life and now I am a SAHM with both of my girls for the last year and a half or more. Third, I am a blogger.  Amy Glass has offended me on ALL three of these levels.  Is that even possible?

At it's core, this seduction is about attention.  Complete and total focus on your partner's sensual satisfaction.  It also involves an awesome skin treatment so it's kind of like going to the spa, what woman wouldn't love that?  Most of us have the ingredients right in our home so it's free...even better!

Marilyn Monroe coined the phrase "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", Elizabeth Taylor made "White Diamonds" famous, let's be honest, as long as women have been around and diamonds have been known of women and diamonds have had a special relationship.  To date the most beautiful diamonds I've ever received are apart of my engagement ring and wedding band.  I've rocked the CZ's for years, I just couldn't even joke up the money for "real" diamonds.  Sure I'd wear them everyday but that's a lot of coin for some small earrings!

As a mother to three busy kids, staying active isn't just a good idea, it's mandatory. That's why my motto, look good - feel great, is a way of life that's especially relevant to Fit Family Lifestyles Month!  However, for many of us, staying fit and active is easier at home than on the road.  So, I complied a few of my personal ways that I stay healthy while vacationing with my family and I hope these tips and tricks will help you even when you're away from home too!

For HER Eyes Only - Week 3 - No. 11

Who didn't love the Disney movie Bambi as a kid? I sure did.  I think that movie really portrayed the innocence of youth and children.  So when I saw this shirt at Old Navy I just had to have it...plus Hannah loves saying "deer, deer" and pointing at my shirt.

Recently I've been OBSESSED with jewelry and watches so when I spoke with ELGIN Watches and they wanted to send me and my husband a watch to review I was super excited!  Keep reading inside to see my review of the watches (video and all!!)

MOMMY WEAR WEEKLY

I can be honest and say that when I was pregnant I felt like I lost my sense of style.  Even since becoming a mother I'm not 100% back to where I used to be.  But recently I feel like I'm inching back to that place.  I'm trying to maintain my own personal style but still keeping it "mommy friendly" and age appropriate.

The other night hubby and I went out on a little date and I thought this was a great outfit.  It had been raining and cold all week and I finally caught a half way decent day.  I love the combination of the sequin tank with the more cozy cardigan.  Dressy but casual and effortless.  The hot pink heels add in just enough of a pop!

It's kind of a running joke that people without children literally have NO IDEA what it's like to be a parent. Sure, there is the amazing, magical part about loving another human more than you ever thought possible. But there's also the part where you both flop on the couch after getting your baby to bed and have no energy to do anything but look at one another and try to remember which of you actually fed the dog that night. Like it or not, having a baby will change your marriage in drastic ways.

Win your own WANTABLE box!!  Will you chose the beauty box filled with makeup goodies, the accessory box which could host a new watch or earrings or will you be daring and go for the intimates box with Valentine's Day approaching?

GIVEAWAY!!!  WIN ONE OF THREE COPIES!!

Since starting my journey with my husband through Laura Corn's New York Times Best-Selling book "101 Nights Of Great Sex" a lot of you have taken interest!  Some have even mentioned that they want the book...I mean who wouldn't?  Now that we are three weeks into this amazing book of sealed seduction pages we can't imagine not having it!

For HER Eyes Only - Week 2 - No. 83

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got on marriage was to appreciate the small things.  Simple tasks like making the bed every day show your respect for where you sleep and make it more inviting to crawl into than a messy bed.  I think those little tasks are the most important in intimacy as well.  You never know how holding his/her hand can still cause little butterflies and make them fall in love all over.

I am SO happy to be doing this review!  One of the reasons I do reviews is not only to bring my readers some pretty cool stuff but to also share the newest ventures out there!  I was thrilled with my friend Amber from ABC's to ACT's contacted me and told me she was creating this product!  We've all heard of "subscription boxes" but they are usually related to food or beauty, rarely towards our children and their growing minds.  Amber and her husband have created the newest (and best in my opinion) educational subscription box for toddlers...introducing BOOKWORM BUNDLE!!

For HIS Eyes Only - Week 2 - Panty P.I.

Women are obsessed with lingerie!  Men don't always notice how much time we put into picking out these undergarments just so you can take them off.  Every woman has her preference in panties.  Whether it be cotton, lace or silk.  Even the cut comes into play from bikini to thongs and boy shorts, companies like Victoria Secret have made MILLIONS off our obsession with underwear.

I'm OBSESSED with Wantable!  It might be a little more pricey than my Ipsy subscription service but I've always gotten boxes that were full of great products and sometimes worth more than the cost of the service!  Wantable is a monthly subscription service for $36/month or you can purchase just one box at $40.  Check out my review inside!

I know that I say it over and over again but I'm literally amazed each day as Hannah's vocabulary grows.  It seemed like yesterday we were teaching her numbers and now it's not just numbers she knows.  She knows sign language, animal names and noises, colors and so much more!  My little baby girl is really growing into this incredibly brilliant toddler.  I truly believe that her growth has to do with all these interactive things I am doing with her.  I'm looking for little ways to incorporate learning into her everyday.

For HER Eyes Only - Week 1 - No. 3 Shake & Bake

We've all heard the saying "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach", this is tried and true knowledge.  However, men are also extremely visual animals and no matter how crappy we feel about our bodies they love every inch of us.  They tend to love our bodies than we do and even more when we are naked or nearly naked.  In this seduction I got to play off of not only David's "appetite" for food but also for ME!  My secret ingredient was an apron...yes, an apron!

We've all seen the Sex in the City "Carrie" necklaces before.  But why does no one remember that these have been around for YEARS before Sarah Jessica Parker made them popular.  I mean I had one in middle school!  I'm not so much a fan of the full name necklaces anymore but I do love a good monogram.  I was actually searching around to buy one for myself when the folks over at www.GetNameNecklace.com contacted me and offered to send me one...Merry Christmas to me!

For HIS Eyes Only - Week One - Take The Dare

My husband and I met in July of 2010 and our relationship has been one heck of a roller coaster since we met.  We welcomed our first daughter July of 2011, married September 2011 and welcomed our second daughter in October of 2012.  In between all of those life events have been two moves, two job changes and countless other life events.

Before we found out we were expecting our first daughter we were at it like rabbits!  I mean constantly!  If we weren't watching football or eating at Chipotle we were in the bedroom.  I'd say we were a five time a day kind of couple, lust definitely ruled our relationship in the beginning.  However, when we found out about our upcoming bundle of joy our sex life took an abrupt stop due to complications.  I suffered from Placenta Previa which when it is discovered you get put on an immediate sex halt for 6-8 weeks.  This didn't include the many complications I had with my pregnancies that just took all the sex out of our lives.  In between the births of our daughters we did engage in sex again but it just wasn't the same.  Contributing factors of PPD (Post-Partum Depression) did not help the cause after their births.  It was like my pregnancies had just taken all the wind out of my sails.  That "spark" I needed to get myself going just wasn't there.
