New Addiction

By -


I was online ordering my nursing cover tonight and found a website that I absolutely fell in love with! I love the name too -- Tutus and Turtles -- how cute is that?! The hair clips and beanie toys are so precious too. Some of the toys reminded me of little projects my friend Erin created for her baby Peyton. So, I decided she could totally start an online store and sell them... in all her spare time.

I admit we're going to be a bit more green - granola - all natural - what have you - with this child. Poor thing. We're just fed up with all the recalled bottles, pacifiers, toys, etc... There was a day when I would have said this would be over doing it, but this stuff is getting just plain dangerous. We promise we won't be freakishly all natural, but we're going to make more of an effort from here on out. We were way more "all natural" with Rachel and we've noticed only good things come from it.

I was noticing you can get organic fabrics on the nursing covers, but to me, that seemed a bit over the edge. Unless we're going to dress our kids in all organic fabrics and use organic blankets and bedsheets, what's the point?

Anyway, just wanted to share my new find with you all.

I don't buy organic fabrics usually - except I did for Jenna's crib sheets (which, haha, we don't even use). I think it's more important for the babies and the older the kids get, the more okay it is to be less strict.
Good for you guys though! It's a hard transition at first, but from one granola mommy to another - I think you'll be pleased with the results. The only downside is the cost - organic everything is more expensive, it seems.

Yeah, we've noticed that since getting married. We've tried eating (not necessarily organic) but definitely healthier and you do pay for it. But its worth it.
With our babies, we're just trying to be more "organic" with the products we use.

Ah, Stef - thanks for the encouraging word. Sweet!
Those little Owl Beanies are pretty cute!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
