Most of my knowledge of pop culture and hollywood comes from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I record him and watch the next day while the boys sleep. This past week he had Jessica Alba on and she talked about a tv show she is in, mother hood, and a company she started- The Honest Company.  She talked about when she became a mom she wanted to give the 'cleanest' life to her daughter. It started her on a journey to create diapers, wipes, cleaners and so on that are chemical free. They are plant based and economical. This i had to see for myself if it truly was economical, so i went to the website to check it out. Love at first sight!  There are loads of products they have created for your family to use from diapers to laundry detergents and even a 4-in-1 crib and stroller. I saw the free trial link and i picked out the diaper sample and the essential sample. This is what i got last friday!  The diaper sample is 7 diapers with designs you get to choose and 10 w

Each friday Opa watches Eleanor our niece and Shepherds 'buddy'.  Since we live with Opa at this time Shepherd gets to hang with them. He gets so excited and happy when she is here. It is a special day for them both! Her name was the first real big word he 'said' and it was so cute. Yesterday was a bit warmer so we went out to the sandbox Opa made over the summer.

Today kimmel and i made the trek to IKEA to get my kitchen sink! It's a pretty big deal! We drove out there before christmas only to be told that they 'over sold' that particular sink and didn't have any more in stock.  They told us to check on line and come back. Since we couldn't order it on line, i kept checking and yesterday they had 3 in stock. Today 14! Found the kitchen area and asked a nice lady to help me acquire this sink! 5 mins later we were paid in full and heading back out the maze to pick up my sink!! Its a smaller apron sink or farm house sink. Perfect for our new lil kitchen! I am super excited and a great way to start the year! After the crazy month we just had this was a sigh of relief to get into the garage! This last month should have been called the roller coaster month. With every step we took forward there was something that would knock us down. Then it would get resolved and we would take a step forward in the process. All this was ha
