The Honest Company

-
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 wipes. These diapers are eco friendly, gentle, safe and good for sensitive skin. I used cloth diapers with Shepherd and have started with Asher but his lil bottom seems to stay irritated so i have purchased some pampers to see if it was the diapers and it cleared up a bit. So i really was interested in how these worked to be better for the environment. 


I used all seven over the weekend at different times to see the absorbency. They work really great! The fit was perfect for my lil man and his bottom didn't get red! The price is just $4 more than the pampers that i get and you get fun prints and peace of mind. Totally worth it. 


The other sample i picked was the Essentials bundle, cleaning products. Containing hand soap, face lotion, repairing lotion, shampoo and laundry detergent. They all have the same smell, very light and clean. Haven't used the laundry detergent yet but am going to try that with the cloth diapers and see if that helps. Used the shampoo all weekend and liked it and hope to get that and the conditioner. Lotions worked great as well. 

Excited to see how these things will fit into our family! If you are looking for chemical free eco friendly stuff check it out! The Honest Company

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
