We've been sick with the stomach flu since Saturday night. Rachel first, then Jason, now me and I assume Ethan will follow suit very soon.
We're praying we're all well by Saturday because some of our friends from our church are getting married Saturday night and we'd really like to make it to the wedding. Thankfully it only lasts (at the most) 24 hours and none of us have overlapped and been sick together, which helps in keeping the house running.

For better news... check out the new changing table we got! I'm very excited about it and can't wait to start using it. This is the 1st changing table we've bought, so its rather thrilling. Its a corner unit and saves on a lot of space, which we're always looking to do in our not-so-big house. I loved all the shelving space AND it comes with wicker baskets to put on the two bottom long shelves.

This is awesome! It's so much easier to change diapers when the baby (or toddler) is in front of you, not sideways, you know? This is brilliant! Where is it from?

I was thinking the same thing! We've always used our bed or the couch, because we can't stand having to stand from the side. This was at Walmart for $120.00 but we saw it at Target and I think Babies R Us as well. We like Walmart for online only products because they'll ship it to your store for free and you just go pick it up! Saved us about $20 bucks.

I'm not sure if you'd be interested in this, but we're also not fans of high chairs. They're very bulky and I can't stand having to constantly wash the fabric and clean all the millions of different parts. We usually feed our babies in bouncy seats until they can fully sit on their own and then we use up to the table boosters. The problem with those is, they take up an adult chair as well. I recently found restaurant style, stackable highchairs at Target!! The best part is, they're only $38 bucks! You can also buy covers for those if you're concerned your baby still needs some padding. I want to say the covers are like $9.00
Anyway... I'll find pictures and post about it soon. :)
This comment was way too long...

We do, thanks Gina! Ethan is the only one who hasn't had it yet, so please pray he stays well.
I'll show you the table in person when we get together next. :)

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 sure to l

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.
