Gro Egg!!!

Gro Egg!!!


     I was so upset that I lost my digital gro egg color changing thermometer!!! This is so useful when helping determine the perfect temperature for your baby/child's room or any room in your home. Gro egg allows your baby to sleep well without tossing and waking up to kick the covers off. This also helps us parents get a little more sleep at night. Changing its colors from blue to red automatically, each color helps to create a safe sleeping environment for your little one/ones!!


Blue:Too cold (under 61 degrees F)

Yellow: Recommended temperature by the company (61-67 degrees F)

Orange: Warm (68-75 degrees F) My preferred temperature 

Red: Too Warm (over 75 degrees F)


I purchased mine from Buy Buy Baby for an average price of $24.99. This product is easy enough to travel with!!! I love it!! #EverythingMrsPennLoves #MrsPennLoves #Products #TheGroCompany

My #WCW is someone who has accomplished so much and has worked so hard for everything that she has. I remember the times we use to sleep in the library while you were burning the midnight oil. Earning not one but two degrees. Being a single mother you did such an amazing job, and set so many memorable examples. You will always be my #1 #WCW forever!!!

Someone else loves pink!!

 @KimKardashian must have read my mind when talking about Pink!! Doesn't she look fab in a #Dior dress that she tailored into a two piece outfit with #ManoloHeels and her favorite jewels by #LorraineSchwartz #Werk #Werk #Werk Pink is my favorite color!!!

Pink Pink Pink!!!

    If you wear acrylic tips like myself (because my nails never grow) it's imperative that you give your nail beds a break!! So I am rocking CNDC Shellac Power Polish, Cake Pop (is the color). I pair this up with O.P.I Mod About You on my feet!! It matches up perfectly!!! I am happily rocking my natural nails and I'm digging it! I don't have to worry about any painful breaks!!! I can just get a manicure and roll!!Let me see how long this last!! :)

Don't you throw that away!!!

     Using things more than once  is my cup of tea!! I hate throwing things away that I really love!! This Blooming Bath Flower is comfortable and great to wash your infants in!! I recommend to use this the proper way from 1-12 months of age depending on the weight and stability of your child.

   My baby is intrigued with my shower!! He loves to look at the glass fogging up and splashing around!! He actually likes the shower more than the bath tub! Since my shower is big enough for two or more, my son has space to splash around (if your shower is smaller it still works too). Therefore, I bring my blooming bath into the shower, let the water run (safe temperature only) and slightly turn the shower head to protect your baby from the pressure!! Then we rub rub a dub dub!! I was so happy to reuse my blooming bath in a whole new way!! Can we say that this product grows with your child too??? Hope you purchase this!! It's awesome!!!

Note: We will be retailers of the blooming baths March 8 for our grand opening!! EverythingMrsPennLoves.com

Someone doesn't feel we'll!!!

My baby hasn't been feeling well and today he recueved his shots!!!💉💉💉😩😩😩 Sorry for the delay, but I'm a mommy 1st!! He's rested, so now back to our program!!!                                         Before our doctors visits, I always give my babies a little Tylenol if we're not going for a check up.  Giving a little ibuprofen or Tylenol helps minimize the fever (or sometimes they don't get a fever at all) so that they won't be so irritable!!!  Note: I am not a doctor!!! This is just what I do!! Please contact your doctor before administering anything (I contacted mine, however, it's different strokes for different folks. What works for my kids may not work for yours)

Happy Birthday Baby Girl.....

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!   Can't believe it's been 13 years since she's been gone! Before I fell in love with Beyoncé, Aaliyah had my heart. I would tape and hang her pictures on my bedroom walls and always try to buy the darkest pair of shades (my locs) to be like her. She captivated every genera of music, and through her vocals you were able to move and jam. When I played her music through my sony portable cd player (back in the day ish) I was happy to carry her around every where I went. I still remember after her death, I received her AALIYAH album for Christmas, and I cried like a baby. Baby Girl you were one a million, and there will never be another like you xoxo....Mrs.Penn 

My Favorite song was "I'm down" off the Age Ain't Nothing But A Number album and "Never Giving Up" which was a bonus track off the actual cd..#realfansknowwassup

Note**Gotta find my childhood room photos to show my Aaliyah posters on my wall!! I'm on a mission!!   #Aaliyah #RIP #BabyGirl #Nevergivinup #ImDown #Everyonesbitingherstyle #shediditfirst #dancer #singer #naturalbeauty #mrspennfavoritepics&picks #BabyGirl #everythingmrspennloves

King James!!!

     I was almost in tears reading the open letter that "King James" wrote for his mother. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying this because he's "LeBron James". Shooot, I had the same feeling when Derrick Rose spoke about his mother a little while ago. Having two boys of my own, I hope to be everything in them that these men speak of about their mothers. Whether your a single mother or not, the nurturing feeling needs to always be in-house for your child/children. It is important that they always feel how much you love them no matter what's going on around them. No matter what happens in my life, I find no greater joy than being a mom to two beautiful boys that keep me laughing and smiling everyday. They fuel my energy to be a better person. Not to mention, i'm slightly obsessed with them, just kidding (no i'm not)!!

  See below the open letter to Gloria James from her son LeBron. You can also read the article on www.today.com.


I am honored to participate in a project that is trying to help single mothers who are struggling to make a living and raise their kids, because that perfectly describes my mother when I was growing up. You think LeBron James is a champion? Gloria James is a champion too. She’s my champion.
My mother really struggled. She had me, her only child, when she was just 16 years old. She was on her own, so we lived in her mom’s great big house in Akron, Ohio. But on Christmas Day when I was 3 years old, my grandmother suddenly died of a heart attack, and everything changed. With my mom being so young and lacking any support and the skills and education necessary to get ahead, it was really hard for us.
We lost the house. We moved around from place to place—a dozen times in three years. It was scary. It was catch as catch can, scraping to get by. My mom worked anywhere and everywhere, trying to make ends meet. But through all of that, I knew one thing for sure: I had my mother to blanket me and to give me security. She was my mother, my father, my everything. She put me first. I knew that no matter what happened, nothing and nobody was more important to her than I was. I went without a lot of things, but never for one second did I feel unimportant or unloved.
Finally, when I was 9 years old, my mother made a supreme sacrifice. She decided that while she was figuring out how to get on her feet, I needed some stability in my life. I needed to stay in one place and experience the support and security that she had felt growing up in a big family. So she sent me to live with my pee-wee football team coach, “Big Frankie” Walker, and his family. She later said to me, “It was hard, but I knew it was not about me. It was about you. I had to put you first.”
I stayed with the Walkers for a year, and what a gift that was! I was in the same school all year, slept in the same bed all year, played on the same football team all year, and Big Frankie put me on my first basketball team. I saw my mom every weekend.
When my mother was able to rent a two-bedroom apartment with the help of a government-assistance program, I moved back in with her. We stayed together until I finished high school. The rest is history.
People always say I am devoted to my mother. That’s true, but only because for every minute of my life, she has been devoted to me. My mother taught me what devotion truly means. I have tried to pass along her example by helping kids who are growing up in single-parent homes through the LeBron James Family Foundation and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
After the Heat won the 2012 NBA Championship, the team was invited to the White House. Speaking about me, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, President Barack Obama said, “For all the young men out there who are looking up to them all the time, for them to see somebody who cares about their kids and is there for them day in and day out, that’s a good message to send. It’s a positive message to send, and we’re very proud of them for that. ”
The truth is that everything I’ve learned about being a parent to my boys—9-year-old LeBron Jr. and 6-year-old Bryce—I learned from my mother. Everything I know about being loving and caring, and sacrificing and showing up and being present in my children’s lives—I learned all of that from her example.
Gloria James was a working single mother who struggled and got the job done.
And for that, I say, “I love you, Mom. Thank you.”

Illustrated People!!

Came across these tops from @illustratedpeople for Summer 2014!!! I love the one with color!! #MrsPennFavPics&Picks #EverythingMrsPennLoves #CropTopwithHighWaist #Fashion @illustratedpeople 

Make up Monday!!

   Today's post will be about something new that I love!!! While I was on vacation I decided to try three new items by Simple Care!! The Exfoilating Facial Wipes, The Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, and the Eye Make-Up Remover Pads!! So over a period of five days, I've used these items and here's my review!!

The Exfoilating Facial Wipes- I actually like the concept of this! I like to be able to use a product on the go without a mess!! Usually when I travel no matter how safe I secure my items, something gets smudged around!! This product in particular need a little extra moisture to the wipes and it would have been perfect. I'm all about feeling the product and no matter what I did, it just felt like there was no solution on the cloths. Meaning I felt no lather or anything even when I added water, however, I'm going to charge that to the game because their other products that I tried were amazing!! 

 The Replenshing Rich Moisturizer is amazing!!! I love it!!! I was in Cabo laying out on the beach for a nice golden tan. When I got back to my room, my nose was a little red and irritated. I washed my face and applied the R&R moisturizer to and it gave me such a calm and soothing feel to my sensitive areas. I like this moisturizer because it isn't heavy, it's nice and light, and it hydrates your skin with added vitamims!! This moisturizer gets 5 stars from me!!!

The Eye Make-Up Remover Pads has to be my favorite item from the simple care brand. These pads are the perfect fit for your eye sockets (see bottom right) opposed to other remover products the wipes are excessively larger then they need to be. These simple EMR wipes have the perfect balance of size and moisture!!! Not to mention I don't have to use 3 pads for one eye!! Another 5 stars from Mrs.Penn!! 

I bought my products from my favorite store..... Wait for it..........TARGET!!! For an average price of 

Exfoliating Wipes- $4.99
R&R Moisturizer-$9.99
EMR Pads- $5.29

Go and add a little simplicity to your life with the Simple Care!! Xoxo 

Note: Different products work for different people. This is a review of the things that I like and what worked for me!

Mrs.Bell!!!


I get smitten by this woman every time!!! She is soooo talented and awesomely amazing!! Her beauty just captivates you!! @jurneebell wore #aliceandolivia #fashion #style #WCM #beautyandbrains #GoldenGlobes2014 #MrsPennFavoritePicks&Pics #EverythingMrsPennLoves

Make up Mondays!!!

 Even though Monday is almost over on my time zone (PST) I'm finally able to relax from my meetings and give you guys the beauty tip that you've been waiting for!!!

   So, I absolutely love to be a golden girl!! Gold pallets are my "Go To"!! My all time favorite look is..

"All That Glitters" by M.A.C I use that for my lid, and for my crease I use 
"Mulch"- which is not pictured but it's my all time fav!!

If you need a quick dinner look, or a quick party look this is the one. You can exaggerate the eye by applying more "All That Glitters" on the lid. I recommend this combination on skin tones that are around my complexion and darker. This will flush out your complexion if you are extremely light :). You can try all colors listed with a "Mulch" or "corduroy" crease depending on your tone.

I hope you like it!!! These eye shadows can be purchased from all M.A.C locations for an average price of $15.00 per shadow!

From left to right my fav golds are...

1. Honey Lust
2.All That Glitters
3. Amber Lights
4. WoodWinked

Are you ready????

The wait is almost over!!! Today at 12pm PST the purchase date for The Many Adventures of Donald, My Face,will be released!!! #staytuned #ready
