my new fav shopping site!

So I was looking for a few things that I wanted to buy to help me in my greening quest. I was kinda shopping around to find the best deal because I hate to spend money, but I felt like this was a good investment. At the time I was looking for some stainless steel water bottles and sippy cups. Found most of what I was looking for. Well, this site kept coming up, and they kept having the best deals. Well I come to find out that this site has just about every brand you can think of that is considered chemical free, toxin free yadda yadda. Of course I am sure there are some things that slip thru, so you gotta do your research. But I have some friends that suggested this or that and I was tired of looking at one site for this and another site for that. And if I wanted to buy anything having to pay for shipping from both sites. So this was perfect, one stop shop for all my personal, household, baby, cleaning stuff. EVEN better, shipping is always 5.95 no matter how much you buy, and if you spend over $100 its free! Unless you want super fast shipping. but i got my stuff in less than a week, so bleh on the fast, expensive one.



OK OK, so it's called http://www.luckyvitamin.com/ i was just so freakin super excited i found this site. You can order in bulk for even cheaper and everything is already cheaper than everywhere else by alot. So if you are looking for something check out this site and type it in the search.

Everytime someone tells me to go to mother natures or some other health food or green store, i check here and it's usually there and cheaper! I almost bought a bunch of stuff from several different places and probably would have paid double! Seriously! I don't get anything for telling you this, that is just how excited I am about it!

I got some organic/chemical free shampoo, lotion, cleaning products, loofas, water bottles, organic apricots(inexpesive too!) and natural toothpaste and hand soap. I already feel better and I can tell my little changes lately have helped. I have been losing more weight without working out.

Oh another thing... this site will tell you everything about each product. Ingredients, uses, and reviews. Check it out seriously!

March is almost over?!

Ok, so I have found it tough this month to do much. We have been sick for over two weeks and I think we are all finally starting to feel better. Ayva has a tooth almost ready to pop thru. I just hope it decides to come sooner than later, those darn teeth take forever! Now I just hope she doesn't continue to bite and pull when I am nursing her. It's not so bad without the teeth. Ok, it is, but WITH TEETH? i don't think so darling. i'll be the one goin on a nursing strike then! By the way, Ayva is 6 months old TODAY! Wow it goes by sooo fast.

Been glad to have warmer weather. FUNNY tho, as I say that, it's snowing out. AND there is like 6 inches of snow. Where did that come from. Hey, it was just like 80 all last week?! Crazy Colorado weather. We desperately needed the moisture tho. I just hope all those seeds Tyler and I planted don't get too cold

Here are some pics I have taken of the kids over the last month!

So, Ayva decided she needed more. She was sick of starin at the ceiling, the floor or whatever was put in front of her. She also seen everyone else around her with the ability to walk and move about. So, she has decided to get those arms and legs moving and so far she has done well. No, she is not walking. DUH, but she is tryin awfully hard to crawl. about 3 weeks ago she started rolling alot better and at the same time was like OH!! i can do more! wow! and started doing what is called a leap frog move and the crab. She also does the rockin back and forth on knees. Mostly she just moves backwards which is kinda funny cuz she gets stuck. I think she will be alot more mobile soon.

About 1 month ago we also decided to start giving her a few solids. So far she gobbles up just about everything we have givin her. Started with peas, green beans, carrots, squash ,apples and small bites of random other things. Already a better eater than her older brother! I also just started giving her a sippy to drink from, or uhhum....play with. But hey, it gives me a few minutes to eat!

On March 13th, we took the kids to see Thomas and the Train live in Colorado Springs. He really enjoyed it, and so did Ayva. We hardly ever get to take him anywhere like this so it was a good time. No good pics of this, but here are a couple i took.

Today was our makeup day. After having incredibly gorgeous almost summer like weather, we got blasted with snow. These pics were taken at like 5pm. it's almost 11pm and still snowing. so you get the picture. It had just barely started snowing when we took these. Tyler was soo excited about the snow and begged to go out. I tried to to talk him out of it. He said he wanted his gloves and shoes so he could go out. Ayva was awake and I didn't want to take her out too since Matt was at work. So i bundled him up and let him play. I watched out the sunroom and screen door and he had a blast. I remember the days when the cold didn't bother me much and I would stay out till i couldn't feel my feet or hands anymore. Even as I watched the snow go up his pants and in his gloves he just kept on playing. I just can't believe he wanted to play out by himself, and it was like the happiest I had seen him in a couple days! I am ok with the snow for now. Just bring me back the warmth soon, just leave some snow for at least 1 more day for my Tyler to play in.

Back to February

Since I have not posted in almost 2 months.... my bad, sorry HERE we go. some new pics of course are in order.... but here is a look at some of the things and happenings in our life.

February consisted of alot of the same. I had my birthday, I went to Tylers Valentines party at his preschool and we made lots of cookies!

We also took over Matt's parents house for a few hours while they were on vacation to have a BBQ with some of Matt's friends from work and our friends outside work. It was a good time, except I think someone was a little to fond of sharing things... and we have been battling sickness every since. Here is one cute pic of Tyler and Sarah, his friend for almost 2 years now.

A few other pics of the kiddos included in the happenings of February

Tyler was pretending to be daddy going to work. wearing his shoes and some other random things. It was cute.

We also just bought some cubes for storage for the kids room. Makes it seem a little more organized and it's something that will grow with them.
