It is done...the photos that is!

Everyday I find a new box to open, and so the other day I finally got to the box with the cord for the camera.  The photos below are from June 10-July 26, 2010.  Within those dates we were in SC for two weeks, then we made our way to Montgomery, AL, and before we got there we stopped in Atlanta for a little break from the drive.  We spent a wonderful week in Montgomery, AL. with our friends the Snyders, who so graciously opened their doors to us while Matt moved us...poor guy! We've all come out of the this move a bit banged up. We've learned a lot about life, the people who care about us, and each other.

Never Pay for Household Cleansers Again

Never Pay for Household Cleansers Again

I am trying to make a conscience effort to used products that are healthier for my family, and at the same time more cost effective. I truly believe that the majority of cleaning products are too harsh to be using in our homes.  They negatively effect many parts of our bodies, and why not use things that can do the job without causing a diverse effect on ones health.  Often times the terms "organic" and "green" make me think the cost is going to be more, but it's not always like that.  If you don't want to make your own, or have the cash to just buy what you want, check out Fresh Market's website for coupons.

purple haze

holy cow!  i didn't realize that it has been a little over a month since i last posted, but when i think of the haze that i've been in since we left south carolina it's no surprise.  i am back...like any mother of two under three i am constantly running around, but it's funny, i never really feel like i'm getting anywhere.  being a daughter of two very high achievers has been rough.  i constantly hear them in my head telling me to clean up and don't stop...i'm running on fumes these days.  everywhere i turn around there is something to do.  matt gets frustrated cause there is always something that needs his man power to get done.
last night we had a nice dinner with our neighbors, the diaz family.  ever since they invited us over for a fourth of july bbq we've been able to do something with our kiddos weekly.  my sweet friend heather has already made the huge effort to come visit us for the day this past weekend.  we went to the splash pad in gardendale which is a 20 minute drive from our home.  i'm waiting for the refrigerator to get delivered in the next 30 minutes, and the washing machine repair man is coming this afternoon.  our washing machine has been trying to get fixed for the last two weeks.  i've gone to the laundry mat, and done wash n fold which got expensive fast!  i'm so ready to have a working washing machine again.  with a family of boys it's a must!  i've got a lot of photos to upload from the beginning of june, but alas i haven't found the box with the cord yet.  gotta run, but what's new...
