A couple weeks ago, my baby boy turned five years old. That is still blowing my mind, but I realize that by saying how fast they grow up I sound really old - so I'll just leave it at that.

To celebrate the big five, we told Big E he could have his birthday party wherever he wanted to, and that he could make up his very own invite list (you know, instead of us just inviting our friends as we've done most years). His choice was Coconuts Family Entertainment Center without hesitation. We love Coconuts, and Big E has been talking about having a birthday party there for almost a year!

Ever since becoming a mom, I have placed a high priority on green cleaning products. It's important to me that I use products that clean well, but also are non-toxic and safe for my family and the environment.

I've been using Tropical Traditions' Powdered Laundry Detergent for about a month now, and I can definitively say that this product does meets both of those requirements.

I'm super excited to introduce you to the first Blogtastic Extravaganza 2.0's "Loot for Your Little One" sponsor...

Summer time around MommyHahaville is filled with swimming in the pool, going to the beach, and trips to the water park. Its also filled with quite a bit of down time in the air conditioning. We live in Florida, and it is unbearably hot in the summer. We need fun activities to do indoors, while we are taking a break from all our fun water adventures. 

Those of you who know me, know that I am not a big hand sanitizer person. In fact, I get annoyed when people try to force my kids to use hand sanitizer when there are perfectly good sinks with soap and clean water available for hand washing. My reasoning is two fold. One - I don't think we should try to constantly eliminate all bacteria, as our bodies have immune systems for a reason. And more so number two - I hate the toxic ingredients in most hand sanitizers.

It took about 3 days of wearing my broken glasses (that were fashionably fixed up with electrical tape) to realize that I had not stumbled upon a long term solution. I needed new glasses.

It only took about 30 seconds to realize that I did not feel like forking out a couple hundred bucks for a new pair.

I recently had the opportunity to try out Tropical Traditions Antioxidant Omega 3 Greens in Berry flavor. It's a powder supplement with all kinds of good stuff in it. The ingredients they've included are designed to support nutrition, digestion, circulation and immunity.
