I am sure I am not the only one who lives with a snorer. My dear husband has snored as long as I have known him, and recently I had to kick him out of our room because the walls began to rattle lol!

He is an allergy sufferer, and I think this time of the year makes the snoring worse. I have spent many nights tossing and turning, listening to the myriad of sounds he makes.

You know how it goes….you start out with a friendly lil tap on the shoulder and the snoring stops for a few seconds (long enough to get yourself comfortable), and then you start to hear the subtle zzzz coming back. As it gets louder, you try another tactic…give the covers a yank, to shake him around a bit. LOL! It works for approximately 60 seconds and then you are back to square one. Then I make the concerted effort to politely ask him to roll over, but first you have to get him to understand what you are saying! After he rolls over, it all stops for about 5 minutes, and then it begins all over again but much louder than before. So, for 45 minutes I am laying in bed trying to devise a tactical plan,when I finally smack my husband and tell him to move! He then proceeds to tell me “Hon, I don’t know what you’re talking about…I was awake the whole time!” Here we are arguing in the dark whether or not he was awake or not…LOL!

Anyway I ran across an article…maybe it will help some poor soul out there who lives with a snorer.

9 Ways to Help You Stop Snoring

Ever have to make a quick jaunt to the store? Ever find yourself without a place to put wet clothes or just need an extra bag to put things in? I recently ran across a great product called Flip & Tumble. They are reusable bags that go from ball to bag in seconds!

Flip & Tumble is great for carrying the few items you may need from the store or even makes a great bag for the beach or trips to the gym! One of my kids had wet clothes and I just got out my handy Flip & Tumble bag unrolled it and tossed the wet clothes in there! They are about the size of a tennis ball when not in use so I keep mine in my glove compartment.

To my surprise the process of going from ball to bag and back is incredibly easy! I had no trouble getting the bag back to a ball and vice versa.

The bag is constructed of lightweight nylon ripstop, 12×14x5, has a padded shoulder strap, and can hold a whopping 25lbs! The bag comes in 5 stylish colors and sells for only $12! Not too shabby!

So load em up on your next grocery trip and have a ball with Flip & Tumble!

So I’ve got company coming and it seems that there aren’t enough hours in my day. Getting housework done with two toddlers is definitely a chore! So I have the laundry to finish, the bedding to set up and wash, the bathrooms to clean, vacuuming, dusting, picking up to do and cook meals and entertain toddlers. So what do you think? Do you think I can get it all done by tomorrow morning? UGH! I think I will be manning the helm till midnight. Hi Ho Hi Ho…off to work I go. Wonder if I wiggle my nose, all the stuff will do itself?

Wouldn’t it be great not to have to put your purse on the floor or hang it on the back of a chair? I know when I go out to restaurants I either have to hang my purse on the back of my chair where it can easily be stolen or put it on the less than clean floor somewhere by my feet crowding my leg room.

Well now there is a place to hang your purse away from the dirty floor and where you can keep an eye on it…a place to hang your purse in style!

ChicClip is a compact, lightweight (less than 3 oz), silver purse hook that wraps around itself. Its very easy to use, unfold it rotate it and place it on the table. The ChicClip can hold purses up to 9lbs! There are many stylish colors to choose from and come packed in a very stylish compact discreet pouch. I know I won’t be leaving home without mine! This would make a great gift for anyone and even a great stocking stuffer!

If you would like to get a ChicClip, Stylagio is offering DoubleBugs readers a special discount! If you enter the promo code DOUBLEBUGS20 at checkout you will get 20% off (no minimum purchase necessary). Also, there is Free Shipping on all orders to the US and Canada!

Yesterday it was an unusually cool day for Summer! We have a black driveway so I decided to bust out the sidewalk chalk with the boys and do a little artistic creation. As the creative juices starting flowing I decided to draw a road on the driveway and got out the boys little bobby cars. Alexander caught on right away and was driving his car on the road LOL. He had a blast and it is a great idea! They loved the idea of drawing on the ground and then took turns running in circles stepping on all the new artwork on the ground. We weren’t sure what that was about but they were laughing and having fun, so it was a big hit. If boredom has taken over, then this might be an idea to help get out of the funk. It helps lil ones explore their creativity and gives them something new to try. Be creative, draw a town with a road, Spell their name, do the alphabet, draw things for them to identify, or just make spots for them to jump on. The possibilities are endless.! It gets the family fresh air and most important time together!

I recently came across a product that helps with the dreaded hair washing at bath time! So, tonight at bath, I came armed with a new trick up my sleeve and its called the LilRinser! Hair washing is no longer a chore!

Most toddlers or children don’t like to have water poured over there heads! I know my two always try to escape the water pitcher and they stand up and try to climb out of the tub! We wind up with half the pitcher of water on the floor instead!

So recently we tried the LilRinser and it worked like a charm! In fact both the boys made a game out of it and wanted my husband to keep dumping water on their heads! The LilRinser doesn’t allow water or soap to get in your child’s eyes or ears so washing hair isn’t a fight to the finish! You should check it out if bath time comes to a screeching halt when it comes time to wash hair! No more tears and you get to keep your sanity!! Well maybe LOL!

So here I am at the boys nap time again! I am busy looking at all my stuff to do, and the list has begun to exhaust me. For all the Moms out there, you know that your job is never done. If you think you have the laundry finished, you can blink and another load will reproduce itself! Thankfully, today I have dinner going in the crockpot and well, the laundry is sorted but isn’t looking very inviting LOL!

Ive decided that I need to organize this place! I feel like it is already somewhat organized, with the exception of the toolboxes…and yes, people I use the tools in the house….women can fix things too! My husband likes to tease me by saying “not bad for a girl!” I am never one to just sit and look at something for very long without taking action. The internet is a great place for information!

So, I need to figure out how to organize things! I hate clutter in the house. I think I have the boys’ playroom pretty organized except when they dump everything. Then it looks like Toys R Us barfed in the place, but that’s just part of their growth and development. We are working on picking up after ourselves, but for them, after they pick it up, its wayyyy more fun to dump it again. That will come with time I suppose. Id rather see them enjoying their things.

So now I am in search of things to organize my life more. I will get back to you all and let you know what I find! If you don’t see me, I am lost in a pile of stuff..I may need to be rescued! LOL
