I made the move from Blogger to WordPress.  So far so good. I still have a 404 code on my old page but WordPress says that it can take up to 24 hours for it to load. We shall see!!!!

So here I am….

This week I am doing baby quotes. Munchkin is 6 weeks today!!!!

Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.

A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.

Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Babies are such a nice way to start people.

A baby is born with a need to be loved — and never outgrows it.

When you have a baby, love is automatic, when you get married, love is earned.
Marie Osmond

The kind of man who thinks that helping with the dishes is beneath him will also think that helping with the baby is beneath him, and then he certainly is not going to be a very successful father.

I took Princess to school and even dressed her in clothes that were pretty cool. I was hoping that the kids would not be outside to play for the hottest part of the day.

Well, when I get there I am telling her teacher how hot it is. She responded with “it must be the heat” I think well no shit! I am sure I have a stunned look on my face. She then says to me

“oh, you don’t know?”

What the…. Is this a trick question???

Princess tossed up het snack at school today. Yes, she puked. I got NO phone call on either phone. Not the home. Not the cell. So I try to figure out what the cause could be.

They ate a snack and then went out and played. I’m sure that’s the cause. I know my daughter. She has done this type of thing before.

Shouldn’t I have at least got a phone call? I would have never known if I met her in the middle somewhere and just signed her out. Perhaps it’s because she is at a private school? Maybe they knew it was from her running around after she ate? I’m not to sure.

On top of all the fuss, I left her one and only lunch box at school!!!! Total bummer but we can get it tomorrow or she can use her brothers.

Welcome to Works For Me Wednesday hosted by We Are That Family. I love sharing in this as well as looking at what everyone else shares. I think it is great.

This week I am sharing what I do for a nursing bra at night and while I am around the house. I have tried the sports bras at Motherhood and it does NOT work for me. This is a bit easier and it gives a bit of support as well as holds those oh so wonderful nursing pads.

I buy a 3 Pack of Strappy Sports Bras! Simple as that. Notice I said strappy. I would not consider myself the biggest busted person that I know but I do not lack in that area. They offer enough support for lounging around the house and keep everything from moving to much. I would NOT go running wearing these, walking sure. It works for around the house. They are comfortable and totally budget friendly! 3 are under $10!!!!

So that is what works for me!!!!!

I have tried lots of disposable diapers with the 3 kids. This is my personal review and opinion.

Luvs

I tried Luvs with Princess and Prince and they both broke out in a horrid diaper rash. Princess loved them because they had Blue on them. They are super cute and they worked great but for us they cause diaper rash.

Huggies
Just did not work for the first two as newborns so I left it at that. This time around I have tried the Pure & Natural diapers. I really like these. They are VERY soft and do the job. They actually feel like just a cloth diaper. They are great. I have noticed that their sizing is a bit different then the other brands I have had around the house. They seem to run smaller. So I have had to move the Munchkin into a size 1 in this brand before needing to do so in others.

Huggies also has worked very well for Prince when he has an upset tummy. His upset tummy issues usually bring on a crazy rash and I have used Huggies Supreme and it cleared up. They would keep him drier by pulling the wetness away from him. I also used my Lanolin Wipes and it cleared right up. I am not sure which worked or if they worked combined.

Pampers

They do a great job! Hold a lot of mess and keep the kiddos dry. This is the diaper I will usually buy if I have a coupon. I really have no complaints. They work at night rather well. The Cruisers are great too! I really like them over all.

Also Pampers Swaddlers which go from Newborn size to size 2 I believe have this little line in them when they are wet. I never noticed it before with the other kiddos but I noticed this time!!!

Parents Choice

They do not have a website. They are Wal-Mart brand diapers. I love them!!! They remind be a lot of Pampers Baby Dry. They are no frills. Just a diaper. They have only leaked as the kids get older. By older, I mean OVER 2!!!

Mom to Mom

I like these diapers. They work. I had no issues but they are stiff. Also, in the middle where there is a crease is REALLY stiff. The crease stays there it really doesn’t go away and form to the body as other diapers do. It doesn’t seem to comfortable.

Overall for me I buy Parents Choice unless I have a coupon for a name brand. I love how basic they are. They work and most of all they save money!!!

Welcome to Works For Me Wednesday!

This week I am going to tell you how I make it a bit easier for the kiddos to hold their corn cobs.

Instead of the traditional corn cob holders:

For some reason these ALWAYS fall out for the kids. Especially when I use fresh corn. I needed to find something that worked for born kids and was a tad bit safer than the sharp ends of those. Since I have a lot of chop sticks I got a bright idea:

I used chop sticks I got from take out sushi, not my good ones. I shove them in as far as I can get them so they are sturdy and the kids are good to go!

I have no worry about the other holders coming out and them poking themselves and getting hurt!!!

This year since Princess was starting school I wanted to get her some dresses. The dresses I found were all under $5 and in great shape. I did find one that I need to take in on the sides, it was $3 with a kite on it! She loves kites!!

I will say that I do cheat a bit. I go to children’s resale shops to look for their clothes. I do have to take in one of the dresses but I will show that one later. So here are the 2 that I like.

This one was $5 exactly!!!

This was a boutique dress and I LOVE the buttons on the back:

Here is the 2nd one and it was $4.89!!! This one is SOOO cute!!!

Here is some detail of the bottom of the dress:

I got a few other things but these are my fav!!!!!

Happy thrifting!!!!

I bet you are wondering WHY I would want to show you a picture of my bathroom sink….

Well that is how I have been giving Munchkin a bath. No problem so far. None. She loved it. She was very happy and calm.

The problem with that sink is SD does a lot of stuff for his reef tank in that bathroom. So not only am I really not sure what goes in that sink it really smells of garlic and other fish food. YUCK!!!

Even though it gets cleaning the chemicals and stuff stick in my head so we decided to get an infant tub.

She hates it!!!

I am not sure if it is because she is not ALL the way in the water like she is in the sink, but she screamed the ENTIRE time.

This is exactly what Princess and Prince did. Therefore, their baths were not as often.

She was so relaxed and calm after her baths it made for a great routine for all the kids. Tonight’s bath will be done with out that net thing in there in hopes that she likes that better.
