I Heart Being a Mom!

Featured Mom

Read Candice's story in her own words:

I am really not sure what to write. I am 26 years old. I am a mother of three. I got pregnant my senior year of high school. It was a struggle but I now have a very bright and beautiful 8 year old daughter, Madison. I met my (now) husband Jeremy when she was three. Now long after being together, we had a son named Jacob, who is now four. We got married in April 2009, got pregnant in July and had our 3 month old son Logan just days before our one year wedding anniversary.

I love being a mom. Some days are stressful but there is nothing like going to bed and hearing your kids breathing. There's nothing like waking up to their voices and their smiles. While a lot of 26 year olds are partying and doing some "high school" stuff, I love being home with my family. We enjoy movie nights at home and just doing our thing in the house. My family is my life. To sum this all up, I have the most special job in the world. I have the privledge of staying home and raising my wonderful children. I've watched their every steps and have seen their many accomplishments. I couldn't be more proud of all I have.

Bobble Contest

We have a winner of the Bobble Contest! Congrats to Christine K. for her original use for the Bobble.

Read Christine's creative use for the Bobble: I actually wasn't planning on entering this contest seeing as I have never won anything in my life -- not even a church raffle sale or a game of bowling -- but what happened to me today totally changed my mind.

I was coming home from some errands, and was on the thru-way, when suddenly a light on my dashboard came on and started beeping at me. Now, I am one of those mechanically inept gals -- I know NOTHING whatsoever about anything even remotely related to an automobile. It's pretty sad considering my fiance is an automechanic and my future in- laws are all 'car people'... Makes one worry about what there is to talk about at the family reunion... But I digress.

So, there I was, a good half an hour from home, with this angry little red light going crazy on my dash. I immediately pulled off the nearest exit and phoned my fiance. As it turns out, apparently the coolant 'tank' (or whatever you call it) needs to be routinely topped off. Who would have guessed?And OF COURSE my car has to take some 'special' coolant that can't be mixed with the regular kind, or apparently the automotive apocolypse will occur. However, do you know what it CAN be mixed with? PURIFIED, FILTERED WATER!

You can imagine my absolute joy when my (highly amused) fiance told me I could use my BOBBLE to put water into my coolant thingy so I could get my car over to the dealership and buy the (overpriced!) exact coolant I needed! I had just purchased Bobbles for the whole family earlier this week and had not one, but TWO Bobbles with my in the car! Can you say 'score'?

Now, you don't want to know how smug I was when I able to 'fix' my own car (okay, so it was only for about thirty miles, but still!) and what a thrill I got from 'popping' my hood and using my BOBBLE to squirt purified water into my coolant. It was pretty sad how cool I thought I was, actually. Especially when it took me ten minutes to get the cap back on the tank... But that's another story...

SO, that was my great adventure with my Bobble, and I just felt the need to share it with the lovely ladies at 'I Heart Being a Mom'... Not only are Bobbles pretty, chic, environmentally friendly, reasonably priced, made of recycled water bottles, cost efficient, completely ergonomic and in six great colours with REPLACABLE FILTERS... They can also be a must have tool for roadside assistance! Thank you Bobble for making my day and giving me something to brag about... You made a fan for life!

PS. I also want to add how AMAZING it is that the Bobble somehow manages to get rid of that gross 'tap water' taste... Magic!
