I asked myself this question several times this past month. And it's probably in the same way most moms think of failing. Am I juggling enough? I complain to other moms of all the running I have to do, plus kid activities and personal ventures. However, to really stop and think, I don't have anything on my plate. My evening are typically pretty low key, filled with homework, chores and dinner.Chroniclesofacrazymomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122731212111877655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96151063997362250.post-5614261623798404442017-02-09T11:43:00.002-08:002017-02-09T11:51:13.178-08:00FB LOVE is BACK!!!

Bath Bombs
This review is my personal opinion of the products I tested for the stated company. I was not paid or compensated for this review.
First I want to tell you a little about this company and their products. Bam Bath Co. is a Colorado based company, which means it's local for me! It is ran by a young lady, who decided she needed to help her growing family with some sort of income.

I, like most of my readers, am a very busy mom. We are constantly on the go with school, practice, shopping, etc.. With being busy, comes quick snacks and eating on the go. As much as I would love to sit here and tell you that I make sure my kids don't get sugary snacks and junk food, I would be struck by lighting at the very thought of putting those words as truth.

School is out, kids are home and my hair is falling out in clumps.......ok not soooo much clumps, but you get the drift.

I know, I know....I'm crazy what else can I say :)

Case in point: I watch Martha Stewart holiday specials. I then attempt to recreate things that Martha makes on her show. This is not a good idea for me.
