Yes to carrots

Loving this product right now. All natural, paraben free, sulfate free, petroleum free and cruelty free:) Being natural has never been so easy.

Garden State

Yes that is a picture of a HUGE zucchini. That's what happens when you are away for the weekend and you are unable to tend to your garden. That's right mommy and daddy went out of town this weekend for the first time ever!!! 2 nights to ourselves children free. It was lovely! We had our very good friends wedding to attend in Seattle and at the time I figured Kingsley would almost be 7 months so it wouldn't be that hard leaving him. Wrong! The night before I was a wreck crying as I rocked him to sleep the fear of flying was giving me great anxiety. And as the morning approached us leaving I had to wake him up to nurse one last time before I left. Boarding the plane was not much better all I could do was pray. Then we landed and I was like a whole new women excited to be alone with my husband was an understatement. Adventuring a new city together, being able to take showers without children, blowing out my hair and putting make up on in the same day was amazing. Remembering why I chose Alex as my life long partner was the best part about our whole trip. We are the "A" Team and we are good together. I love my husband always, but through the chaos that the day brings with children you often overlook those great qualities that made you fall in love with that person. Our 3 day vaca went by fast and the hardest part about coming home was having to throw away all the breast milk I pumped and was trying to save. Of coarse while we were gone I had forgotten my camera so I didn't get to take pictures of how beautiful everything was including the party at the farm and the elegant wedding at the Four Seasons. Looks like we will have to go back soon to visit and take pictures:)

Patriotism at its best

Every year we go down to Main St. to enjoy the 4th of July parade and every year it gets more fun for the kids. Screaming as the fire trucks drive by and clapping for the soldiers. Holidays just seem to be more fun when children are involved.

Making the NATURAL change

OK so I have a love hate relationship with deodorant I like not being sweaty & stinky, but I hate the fact that I'm putting chemicals on my underarms everyday knowing that what is inside this product is very dangerous and toxic for my body! So I decided to do a little research and found this homemade recipe for deodorant which I've been using for a week now and loving it. I have tried natural antiperspirant's before but none ever really worked for me and after awhile it can get pricy buying and trying others. And the best thing about this recipe is it's pretty much made with stuff thats in your house.

• 2-3 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil ( organic and cold pressed from Whole Foods)
• 1/8 cup Baking Soda
• 1/8 cup of Arrowroot powder or cornstarch can also work

I keep mine refrigerated so its hard or you can keep it at room temp and it will be more like a paste.

6 months

Alright I cant believe you are half way to a year old already. I'm getting kinda weepy just thinking about the fact that I only have a couple more months left before you are walking and not just in my arms all the time. TEAR! OK pull it together. You still are the most easy going baby ever I swear you never cry its crazy. Even when you fell off the couch the other day. (yeah sorry I had to discipline your brother and you decided to throw yourself off the couch.) You still are teething like crazy, but no teeth yet. You are a great sleeper and your in your crib. That was hard for me, but you did not want to co-sleep anymore. You usually go to bed around 7:30 and sleep to 3 nurse and then go back down until 7:30 am. You have not been to the doctor since you were born, but I weigh and measure you at home. You are 19 lbs and 28 inches and wearing 12-18 months. You are long and thinner then Hudson was. You don't like being left in a room alone you want to be where the action is at all times. You laugh at your brother for no reason, you just love him it is the sweetest thing, but I can already see there will be some fighting over toys in the future you want to play with all of his toys and scream when he takes them away from you! God has blessed us with such amazing boys and you are a true angel. We love you!

Little Farmers

Our garden is growing and I must say it is so rewarding. When I was a child my dad always had a big garden growing in our backyard and I could have cared less about it, but now I feel so appreciative for it. Hudson loves our garden and enjoys watering it everyday. And now we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. It really is so nice just going in our backyard and picking our lettuce for our salad or some fresh basil for our pasta and best of all its FREE.

Happy Sunday
