Good thing this kid is getting pants for Christmas! He’s outgrown all his pants and insisted on going to the store with me in his shorts. Sometimes they hike up a bit when he sits lol.

Keeping Up With M.O.M. is giving away one of these VERY cool ROCKBOARD SCOOTERS to one lucky reader (up to $200 value). Enter below to win an awesome Christmas gift for your kid or teen this year. Winner will choose from two different sizes, the Original (ages 8+, holds up to 200 lbs and costs $199.99), or the Mini (ages 5+, holds up to 90 lbs and costs $159.99).
My daughter received her mini scooter a couple weeks ago. I was a little unsure if she would be able to get the balance down quickly since she doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet, but she picked it up really fast and had a lot of fun on it. All the cousins want to take a turn on it when they come to visit, too. Maddie is not wearing a helmet in this video btw, because she does not own a working bicycle and we haven’t purchased one yet. Rockboard encourages everyone to wear helmets and the proper safety gear while riding a Rockboard Scooter.
Riding the ROCKBOARD is simple. You rock back and forth on the footboard, and it propels you forward using a mechanism similar to a bike chain. You can also switch modes and use it as a traditional scooter as well! It reaches up to 10 mph and is a lot of fun for all ages. The ROCKBOARD comes pretty much assembled and it easily folds down so you can carry it with you wherever you need to go.
HOW TO ENTER:
- Comment on this blog post saying which ROCKBOARD size you would want and who you want to win it for by Midnight, November 29th 2011. (REQUIRED for extra entries to count)
- Post about this giveaway on your Facebook Status then leave a comment letting me know (1 extra entry)
- Tweet about this giveaway on Twitter then leave a comment with the link (1 extra entry – allowed once per day w/separate comment for each time)
- Giveaway open to U.S. Only (sorry!). Must be 18+ to enter. Winner will be notified by email after deadline. Winner has 48 hours to respond or new winner will be chosen.
(Didn’t win? You can purchase a ROCKBOARD SCOOTER online at Target.com, ToysRus.com, or Amazon.com. For more information and to find local retailers click here)

The other night I was laying on the couch not feeling too hot and I heard Maddie’s lil 3y/o cousin, Kingston say, “Maddie put pee on my shirt.” I remember thinking, “WHAT is that kid talking about? Maddie would never do that.” However, I didn’t care to get up off the couch to check his facts. Later I saw him walking around with a black “P” written on his shirt in marker. I realized what he meant by “Maddie put pee on my shirt” and asked Maddie why she did that and she said, “He said he wanted to be a princess. P is for princess.” … Oh of course how silly of me. Perfect logic, once again…

Well people, I have been taking Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic for a little under 2 weeks now and I don’t actually know if it’s possible but I honestly felt like I was already more regular after just 3 days of taking it. So I can pretty much say that I have noticed a difference in my digestive system. When I started using it I noticed that on the back of the foil containers it had the days of the week on it to help you remember which days you have taken it, which is really helpful because I take my prenatal vitamin at the same time and it helps me keep track of that as well. The size of the pill is also the exact same size and shape of my prenatal and is a pleasant size to have to take. I don’t remember if some prenatal vitamins are large or not, it’s been so long since I have had to take them, but these pills a narrow and not hard to take at all. I normally have kind of a problem with taking pills and gagging, but these are just fine. If you think you would benefit from taking a probiotic give Member’s Mark a try. You can purchase a 3 month supply at Sam’s Club for $28.88. Not too shabby

A couple weeks ago I was at my friends house learning about essential oils and what not and she had this hand scanner that could tell you how your body was out of balance. It was pretty cool actually. Then the report tells you what will help get you back in balance, basically. Anyway the product it said would fix my most out of balance area was a probiotic. I didn’t really know what that was. After I found out what it did for a person then it made perfect sense as to why I needed it. I haven’t really had many issues before recently with bowels and such, but since I have been pregnant….let’s just say I have the opposite of “morning sickness”. So I just received a supply of Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic, which is sold at Sam’s Club, and I am going to try that for a couple weeks and see how it helps me. Member’s Mark 4X Probiotic says it helps maintain a healthy digestive system. So I will let you know how it works

Rob and I started walking about 2 weeks ago now. The first night there was a cop that kept driving up and down the street watching us. The second night the cop pulled over and asked us if we’d seen a girl that had just been dropped off near where we were walking. I thought about pretending to be the girl and making the cop think Rob had stolen me and just see what would happen next, but decided against it. I guess we looked suspicious to the cop lol. I took a picture of our shadows and turns out we do look kind of suspicious…
Anyway, we started out walking down to the Maverik gas station and buying 44 oz. big gulps and then walking back home. Really effective, I know. The weight of the drink does tone your arms a little though, cuz the ice is so cold so you have to keep switching hands and those suckers are a little heavy lol. The distance was a total of 2.4 miles. Well now we walk a 5K every night and tonight we passed the gas station and didn’t even stop. Whoa! Crazy.
