Nourish Baby Organics

I have heard about this body wash and shampoo and it has always interested me since its BPA free, all organic, good for body AND hair and the smells sound great. I have little ones and heck I’m always up for new fun smelly things =) So today I decided I was finally  going to order myself, well the baby, a bottle of this good stuff! Call me crazy but I’m rather excited for this smelly good stuff to arrive in the mail! I’ll let you know how we like it!

Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop

In 2008 we were given a little daughter that was born with Spina Bifida. She has had to overcome alot in her little life so far but is thriving and doing well. I know how important it is to be able to get the right care for your child so I thought this was a great opportunity to help out!

Join Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop and help to raise $5,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. Hershey has partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network for over 20 years. Participating in this Blog Hop was something that I just had to do.

I got my first basket from Barb @ElementarySpirits and now I’m passing this virtual Easter basket on to all of you in hopes that you to will feel the urge to make a difference!

Color Me Mine!

We had a “Color Me Mine” day! I had this all set up in my head that we would do these certain plates in only the colors that would match the kitchen so I can hang them. blah blah. Once we got in there and the girls saw all the colors and options I decided to lets them loose on the little plates sitting in front of them. Will they match the house, no, are they exactly how I planned, no, did the handprints they did on them turn out just so, no, BUT they are painted just as their little minds intended them to be and that’s cute! I’ve been working on letting the girls just do things freely (at the appropriate time of course) without me stopping the mess, cleaning things constantly, etc. It’s been hard but fun at the same time,kids clean up and so does just about everything else =) Here are some pics of our day, we had a good time!

Hannahs new “cheese face”

This is SO MY MOM!



Paint Job

Today started out like any other Saturday. Lounged around, watched some TV, chatted on the phone, girls running around in between watching their saturday morning cartoons. Then I got the brilliant idea of doing a makeover on Zoe & Hannahs room, I never really liked it anyway. Its been a thrown together mess for a while now. So thats what we did. I went on the computer for a bit looking up different stores getting some ideas. Thought I would do something with monkeys cause Zoe has always loved them until she informed me “Mom I’m totally done with monkeys, I like owls!” Alrighty then, the little 3 year old has her mind made up, owls it is. We found a  cute quilt at Target and then I decide lets PAINT! So off to Home Depot we go to get YELLOW paint! We hit up some furniture stores too along the way and ended up getting white girly “bumble beds” (Thats what Zoe calls bunk beds haha) Well, their walls are yellow and oh so pretty now! So what started out to be a chill relaxing day turned out to be a very busy messy day afterall, isn’t that how it always goes, gotta LOVE it!!

So here I am…

Well,this marks my first entry in my blog!! Today was a usual day. Got up, got the kids fed, dressed, and school started while i did my usual bed making, laundry, dishes etc. Seems like everyday is the same with a little twist here or there, a little excitement inserted randomly and little girlies running everywhere! Well I basically just wanted to post a little something just so I could delete the “hello world” post that automatically goes up haha. Im still new to this whole blogging deal but I’m sure I’ll catch on quickly and soon be hooked!
