I'm Ashamed to Admit It...

But I have never had Ben and Jerry's Ice cream before. That was until today.

Laurie over at Double Bugs is having a contest to win some free ice cream, and I knew I had to enter.

I decided I would video tape my first bite of Ben and Jerry's. You can see the whole video of me talking about it on my site, Sweet 'n' Sassy Girls.

My 2 year old decided she was a fan too.

Summer Time and Your Kid's Skin

Summertime comes and kids go outside. That's just how it works. But are your kids protected from the sun?

Did you know that you get the majority of your sun exposure in the first 18 years of your life? So a sunburn you got as a kid might show up as cancer 30 years down the road. A burn is not the only result of the sun either. Those are just the UVB rays. The UVA rays are the ones that damage your skin, but stay hidden for years. This is what causes the aging. The wrinkles and sun spots an even cancer.

So what are your worries about your kid's skin care in the summer? Come fill out a brief survey from Skin MD Natural and you can be entered into a drawing to win 2 free bottles of Skin MD Natural. Just be sure to tell them that Trisha from Sweet 'n' Sassy Girls sent you to be entered into the drawing.

If you want to read more about the survey and why it is taking place, be sure to stop by my blog, Sweet 'n' Sassy Girls!

Flipper Toothbrush Holder

My son received this adorable Retriever Flipper from the My Flipper USA My Puppy Collection . You may be wondering, What is a flipper ? A flipper holds your toothbrush and will allow your toothbrush to dry quicker and keeps it from getting contaminated . The holder has 2 strong suction cups on the back, it sticks to mirrors, tiles, etc. The patented snap-closed mechanism is really easy to use. When I opened the package I was unsure if it would really stay on our mirror especially after being used a couple of times....well it did !
