This is just a test post to see if I can find a replacement linky service. The place I use currently is going to start charging. :(

Monday's Music Moves Me
So, this weeks theme is "Songs from your favorite group, and who they are" sooo...
My favorite band is Pearl Jam... Loooooove them!
Here is my original favorite. This is the song that got me hooked.
Here was my next favorite song by Pearl Jam,
And, since I shared my current favorite a few weeks ago, here is another that is my close second current favorite:
So there it is! A few of my favorites from Pearl Jam!
What does your week look like?
So what are my wonderful readers doing this week?
This week I have a bazillion things to post.
I have to work (at my actual job).
And I have a few doctor appointments for my husband and kids.
With having six kids we sure do go to a lot of doctors appointments! The last couple of weeks I spent getting them all into the optometrist (I hope I spelled that right) to get their eyes checked. Now it is more check ups and a couple sick visits this week.
How do you keep your schedule organized? What do you use?
I rely on my phone, but I have found that my phone can be unreliable at times (and easy to mess up times and dates!) but I never remember to physically write appointments down.

Sickies....
Ugh...sorry for the slooooooow posting lately. This Mama Bird is sick, and so are a few of the nestlings. :(
We have caught a virus (that is all the doctor told us). Not very fun. On top of the yucky virus I also get to have the joy of passing a kidney stone. Yep, fun. So, I am going to resume posting as soon as we are feeling a bit better.
How have all my wonderful readers been?

Headphonies Review!
Ever been listening to music on your MP3 player or phone and wished you had a way to listen to music other than headphones, ear buds, or your phone's tinny speakers? Well, Headphonies are the answer!
These cute little figures wear the headphones for you and put out good quality sound for everyone to hear!
On a walk or jog and want to let your kiddo listen to? Headphonies!
Want to share a great song with a friend? Headphonies!
Just plain tired of having ear buds in your ears....that's right, Headphonies!
I received Koko to review
The kids LOVED Koko!
My husband loved the sound Koko produced. We tested the sound from little Koko against my laptops sound, and my husband said he definitely thought Koko sounded better!
Headphonies are pretty simple to use. Charge them up using the in box USB, a red light will appear. Once the red light is green you are good to go!
I also used Koko with my cell phone (see above picture). The sound was good, but the speaker got a lot of feedback/interference (I get hundreds of emails per day, so the interference was there a lot). I didn't have any problems with Headphonies and my laptop, so I am sure it was just a cell phone thing.
There are a LOT of awesome designs for Headphonies, go check them out and see for yourself!
Want to win a Headphonie? Check out Headphonies' Facebook page for more information (ends Jan 28, 2011)!

Wednesday Weigh-In Week 4!
I have some exciting news since last week! Yay!
So I mentioned that I was getting an exciting product to review... well it arrived and I have started it!
Today is my fifth day on the Las Vegas HCG diet!
Days 1-3 of the diet are really fun...you eat all the fatty, greasy, unhealthy food you can while taking 6 drops of HCG 6 times a day. I started on Saturday so I really enjoyed my weekend of eating whatever I wanted.
Day 4-up to 60 (depending on how much weight you want to lose, and how long you can go) you eat a very low calorie diet and take 6 drops of the HCG 6 times a day.
While on the diet you need to drink a LOT of water. Thankfully, I have become very fond of water. I chug down 4-5 16.9 ounce bottles of water a day plus a couple cups of tea.
So far, I LOVE this diet!
You may remember what I weighed last week...but if not, I weighed 227.5lbs.
Here is what I weigh TODAY!
I would say that is 220lbs! (Maybe 220.5, I dunno, lol). Either way, I lost 7 lbs and I am LOVING it!
I can't wait to find out what I weigh tomorrow! If you want to know too, follow my facebook page, I post updates daily!
So how did you do this week? Have you tried anything new?

Lots to Say Baby Review and Giveaway!
In 2007, after another sleepness night, Lots To Say Baby creator Erin Wilson thought it would be nice if her 3 month old son would say something, anything, to her. She chuckled about the thought of him saying "Hi", then thought about how neat it would be on a pacifier.
Now Lots To Say Baby is giving babies everywhere the chance to make their parent's laugh. Lots To Say Baby has pacifiers saying almost anything you could want your baby (or baby's pacifier) to say!
Here are some of my personal favorites:
Here is the pacifier we received:
Now that is EXACTLY what I want to tell everyone when Annabelle finally drifts off to sleep!
Here she is with the pacifier
These are some fun pacifiers!
Lots to Say Baby pacifiers are a fun way to sooth your little one, and an easy way to send a little message (like Do Not Disturb!). Hmm, they should make a "wash hands before touching" pacifier too!
Lots to Say Baby pacifiers are BPA free, and PVC and Phthalate free. The pacifiers are also dishwasher safe!
Giveaway!
Lots to Say Baby has offered TWO Six in the Nest readers each two pacifiers!
1 Two Pack Pacifiers - Snooze Button Pink & Hi White
1 Two Pack Pacifiers - Hi Red & Volume Control Blue

Accent Studios Review and Giveaway!!*Closed*
Vinyl wall decals are a great way to add some life to your walls without having to make permanent changes to them. I love the simplicity of wall decals, rub them on, remove the transfer paper and then you have a gorgeous new wall!
There are so many designs at Accent Studios, I am sure you could find a great design for any room!
Here are some of my favorite designs,
Accent Studios has a great site, my favorite feature on the site is the ability to see a preview of the decal in the colors you select, right as you select them! This was very helpful as I browsed through the designs!
Vinyl decals aren't only for walls either! You can use them on many surfaces! I used mine on the window pane of my door!
My Welcome decal went on very easily, and I think it looks great on the glass!
You can put the vinyl decals on any clean, smooth surface!
Okay, so I am sure you want one of these neat decals, right? Well.... there is a great offer for you, but first, check out this video! I promise, it isn't long, and it is really helpful!

Posh Pads Review and Giveaway! CLOSED
If you have ever breastfed your baby you probably know about let down, and what happens to "the other side" when baby is eating. Yes, that's right, there is some leakage. So, in order to stay dry (and not have an embarrassing situation) breast pads are a must!
I had been using disposable nursing pads since Annabelle's birth, but I wanted a more eco-friendly option (plus disposables get expensive!). Posh Pads are a fun way to help save the Earth (and your money!) and have a pretty little secret as well!
The owners of Posh Pads, Robyn and Jessica, found that the two nursing pad options they had while nursing were disposables (white, and boring), or washables (also white, and boring). There was a problem, mothers were being left out of the stylish department! Robyn and Jessica set out to change this, thus creating Posh Pads!
Posh Pads are made from organic bamboo. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial and wicks away moisture, both very important features in a nursing pad!
I received the Wild Leopard Mama pads.
Here is what they look like when they come:
The nursing pads were much larger than I thought they would be, but I suppose that is a good thing because they can help keep me dryer longer. The Posh Pads were easy to care for, and they absorb well. I only noticed them damp in the mornings, which is pretty good. I was able to wear them for about 12 hours at a time, so they would be able to keep you dry through a long day at work.
I really like the organic feature, as well as the fact that bamboo is sustainable. It is also fun knowing you have a little secret style going on!
Giveaway!
Posh Pads has offered one Six in the Nest reader a pair of Posh Pads!
