Reprising my role as an Oompah Loompah from my 4th grade production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I mean, how do you not use this audio with this filter? It’s like “the trending” is calling to me… Now I want some chocolate. Happy Filter Friday! This week I’m watching The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem on @netflix Great show. Have you seen it? I’ll fight you for @michaelaloni if you have… Like hair pulling, slapsgiving fight you. 📍For more funny filter Friday nonesense, follow @themintchipmama @beautyqueenofjerusalemofficial 🍫🍫🍫 . . . . #wonkavision #willywonka #willywonkaandthechocolatefactory #willywonkaedit #willywonkaparty #chocolate #chocolatefactory #chocolatelovers #genewilder #yougetnothing #yougetnothingyoulosegooddaysir #fizzyliftingdrink #filterfriday #friday #fridayvibes #filterfun #oompaloompa #loompaland #ohheymamas #mommymoment #motherhoodunited #momentsinmotherhood #mommystatus #balancingMotherhood #mommylife #motherhood #funnymoms #momsquad #bossMom #bloggerMom
In honor of last Saturday’s National Cheesecake Day… from my partners at SheKnows. https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2602595/gifts-for-golden-girls-fans/
What do you think? This year’s Velveeta martini or last year’s Mac & cheese ice cream? https://www.foodandwine.com/news/velveeta-martini-blt-restaurants-goldbelly
I 🤎 Cacao Toothpaste! I mean… what? When I saw chocolate mint toothpaste existed I needed to try it ASAP. I mean - once you know this exists, how could you not? What I found was so so cool. The flavor is perfect and the sparking effect is real. But I didn’t expect it to be so much fun to use! I like to start by rubbing it around my teeth so I look scary 😂 and then start brushing. Then I like to make faces at myself in the mirror like a old witch on Halloween. Then when my toothbrush tells me I’m done, I spit it out, rinse, and voila! Clean, sparkling teeth with just a hint of a reminder the toothpaste tasted DELICIOUS! TMI? Oh come on, we all make funny faces at ourselves in the mirror. Besides amusing myself, this toothpaste actually has amazing natural benefits! Check them out… 🤎 Cacao is filled with alllll kinds of goodness including natural chemicals that fight periodontal disease, limits oral bacteria, and neutralizes microorganisms (causing bad breath). Plus it fights cavities, plaque and tooth decay! Crazy, right? Plus cacao has an abundance of minerals beneficial to heart health. So what’s it made of? The sweetness comes from Xylitol (from Birch trees) which also clears the mouth of the bacteria that can cause bad breath and cavities. Bentonite clay absorb toxins, polishes the teeth, and gives the toothpaste its smooth fudge like consistency. Even better - the packaging is mostly biodegradable and easy to use for all ages! www.cacaotoothpaste.com 📍For more breaking chocolate news, follow @themintchipmama 🍫 🤎 🦷 . . . . #ilovecacao #cacaotoothpaste #ilovechocolate #chocolatetoothpaste #chocolatemint #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthy #healthybeauty #healthybeautytips #chocolatelover #chocolatelovers #sustainability #sustainablebeauty #beauty #brushyourteeth #brushyourteethkids #cacao #cacaobenefits #smilemore #momlife #imakefunnyfaces #toothbrush #xylitol #bentonite #bentoniteclay #naturaltoothpaste #oralhealth #oralhealthcare #hearthealth
My friend turned me on to this - yes Studios’ Beauty Queen of Jerusalem - and it’s great. It criss crosses back and forth between 50 years of family history. Part 2 just dropped on Netflix. Check it out!
Every day in the pool = hanging up wet towels and wet bathing suits EVERY DAY. TIMES FIVE PEOPLE. I need more chairs. ITS LIKE PLAYING CHICKEN WITH THE RAIN. I quite fancy myself an outsourcer of this to my children but no matter what - it falls on the floor. Then it’s dirty. Then I have to pretend I don’t see the dirt the next day when I’m shoving it in the bag… …as I’m yelling to get out the door. Or is that just me…? 😬 How often do you wash bathing suits & towels if they’re just going to use them again tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow… Dude, mom life is hard. 📍For more complaining follow @themintchipmama 🏊♀️🏊🏼🏊♂️ . . . . #summer #poollife #summerlife #momlife #momlifebelike #swimming #summerdays #pooldays #wet #longislandmom #hereonlongisland #nylongisland #mediamamabear #momwins #honestmama #parentingwithconfidence #motherhoodlife #momblogger #realmomlife #honestmomconfessions #mymamahood #motherhoodintheraw #raisingmytribe #ohheymamas #mommymoment #motherhoodunited #momentsinmotherhood #mommystatus #balancingMotherhood #mommylife

The Armor Experience at the Museum of American Armor! We are HUGE fans of the Museum of American Armor. I’ve been taking my kids there regularly since moving to Long Island in 2014. As my boys got older they went from loving the huge tanks to loving all the history. Their favorite is watching the Armor Experience video. You can imagine their excitement when the @armormuseum invited us to JOIN the Experience! The boys almost fell over. We arrived, we were outfitted, we were educated on who we “were”, we were debriefed on our “mission”, and out to the tanks we went. Our military column drove through the “French countryside” (Old Bethpage Restoration) while we looked for enemies and evaded attack. Boom! Smack! Bang! Soldiers ran, things exploded, we captured the enemy, we won! Ohhhh we loved it! For a family of history buffs this was quite the experience! Check out their site for the next one!

I’ve learned taking a good picture of yourself is actually quite hard! I’m ready to up my game with a tripod from Alphabetdeal.com. Even better - it’s a ring light tripod. Even even better - it’s a RAINBOW ring light tripod. Yep. You got that right. All the colors of the rainbow right here, plus all kinds of fun lighting effects too. It’s also completely adjustable to every height and angle. Pretty cool! I can tell I look younger and taller already.

What decade do you belong in? Hello hello and happy Filter Friday! Step right up and have a go! Do you fit easily into one decade? I don’t. I’m all 80s pop all the time. Until I’m explicit 90s hip hop. Oh such a conflict such a conflict. I’m totally chunky @stevemadden slides but I’m also acid washed @zcavariccioriginal It’s such a challenge it’s such a challenge. So I did the filter twice. Because as we all know - a woman is a complex being… and now that I’m in my 40s I’ve decided I don’t have to decide. I can embrace both depending on my mood. Which is mostly thanks to @pandora 😆. What are you? Team 80s or Team 90s or Team Combination Platter? 📍For more pressing debates, follow @themintchipmama 🕹🛼👩🏻🎤 . . . . #whereibelong #whatera #whereibelongchallenge #whatdecade #80s #90s #filterfriday #filterfridays #friday #fridayvibes #filterselfie #80sfashion #80smusic #90sfashion #90shiphop #90shiphopjunkie #80spop #meshgloves #sidepony #funnymom #longislandmom #hereonlongisland #nylongisland #mediamamabear #momwins #honestmama #parentingwithconfidence #motherhoodlife #momblogger #realmomlife

Sambucol Black Elderberries are totally tubular! My love for Sambucol products grows every month as I learn more about their product line. This month I’m trying the super portable Effervescent Tablets in this great tubular case. I love that no matter where I go I can throw this compact case into my pocket or bag, drop a tablet into my water and have a quick shot of immune boosting black elderberries! Black elderberries are a unique extract rich in immune supporting flavonoids. Flavonoids are powerful, natural antioxidants that are thought to protect the body’s cells from the potential damage caused by free radicals. @sambucol products are also rich in vitamins A, B, and C, gluten free, low carb and some even have added in Zinc! To me - it’s exactly what I’m looking for to provide strong immune system support all summer for my family.* Plus, let’s be honest, this tube is super cute! *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
