Diet Weight Check & Cottonelle Final: Can’t Leave Home Without It #LetsTalkBums

September 24, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Have you noticed there is quite a bit of humor going on with the LetsTalkBums campaign? The commercials on TV and the commercials on the internet and the sound bites on the blogs???

Well of course there is. Watch this, this is the last of the three videos I’m going to share with you:

We here at MomStart are working with Triberr and Cottonelle on a sponsored campaign talking about bums and in our house you can’t even say the word bums without giggling a little. Our opinions are our own and I’m wanting to get a little personal about why I can’t leave home without my bum wipes!

I’m on a diet!

Now you may think that doesn’t mean anything. Lots of people are on a diet, well I’m on a colon cleanse diet. And If I thought Cottonelle wipes were my friend before, they are really my friend now. I’m eating lots of fiber and taking these colon cleanse pills and let’s just say I’m sometimes unexpectedly in a rush to make it to the bathroom.

But Cottonelle makes my somewhat unexpectedly feisty bum settle down quickly with a soothing wipe.

When I first checked in on my diet, I was 155 and my measurements were

41.5

Now this week the scale says 153 meaning I lost two pounds last week. I haven’t made as much progress as I was hoping to make, however, I didn’t exercise at all. I was just hoping to lose it all with the colon cleanse. I need to realize there is no magic way to lose weight.

This week’s measurements are:

Hmmm, so not much weight loss but I did lose two inches off my waist and half of an inch off my hips. I’ll take that for sure. I’m going to continue using the colon cleanse diet and see if I can lose another two pounds this week and I would love to lose another two inches off my waist and off my hips. And since I’m staying on my diet you can rest assured Cottonelle Bum Wipes will be in my purse and on me at all times.

The Importance of Always Being a Role Model

May 17, 2011 by Momstart 3 Comments

I’m constantly reminded that sponge one and sponge two are ALWAYS watching me. Zoe and Miles absorb everything I do, they absorb everything that everyone does, even their piers which isn’t always such a good thing. Some of my habits are not exactly what I want my children doing so I have to concentrate on being a good role model that they can look up too.

My grandmother was always giving to others. If you gave her a gift more than likely she would find someone that needed it rather than keep it herself. She did Meals on Wheels all the time and showed me the true meaning of giving. It’s because of her that I try to give as much as I can as well. I use my blog as a tool to give to our community, and it helps to teach Miles and Zoe to give too. They see me giving and hopefully they will learn to have a giving heart their entire lives too. I think I’m making some progress because on day Zoe told me, “Mommy, I when I grow up, I want to be a princess blogger”. So she’s got part of it down.

But more than just the giving, I really want to show them how to be strong, independent kind adults. The Milk Mustache Campaign on Facebook understands that moms are central in determining the type of people our children turn out to be as adults. They learn to make nutritious eating decisions, how to treat their friends, and how to make many other complicated decisions just by watching us. The National Milk Mustache Got Milk campaign is now providing the resources and encouragement to help moms stay the course, Be A Role Model. The new interactive Milk Mustache Facebook page features a customizable ePostcard app that allows you to send a personal greeting to someone you know, and a really cute video with some of my bloggy friends. You’ll also find a many great recipes that include milk, so go check it out.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of the National Milk Mustache got milk? Campaign and received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
