Baby gift

This little number is for one of my best friends new baby. Her 3rd she got a girl so of course she needs an outfit and since they live in FL she needs something nice and cool.

And what is an outfit for a little girl without butt ruffles. Rock them while you can little Stella. Hope you like it!

Easter 2011

Our MOMS club went to the local Senior Center for Easter this year. There was an egg hunt, snack, visiting with some of the residents, and of course the Easter bunny.


Oh and because I am a total slacker these are the ONLY pictures I have of Easter, yep I pretty much suck.

Heidy Ho Neighbor

We have neighbors on either side of us with kids the same age as ours. It is really great, and really annoying. This is how Anya and M. communicate when they are both outside.


Oh yes that is our 6 foot fence she is standing on.

It reminds me of Home Improvement, when Tim would talk to Wilson. My family used to love that show. Now it's in my backyard!

Graduation

Why is it that there is a trophy and graduation for everything now?

Anyway Kevin "graduated" his Moms Morning Out program this year.

Here are the pictures. Ed took them, while we were both juggling Anya and G. So they are not awesome.
Can you tell he's into pirates right now?
Here is the 3 of them, I really should have brought candy!


Oh well, congratulations Kevin! Now you can go to preschool next year!!

MiO update

I spoke too soon on the colors. After last night Anya is no longer allowed to have that flavor. Crystal light Pure, we are coming back. Sorry MiO. I will have to see if there is another flavor with out the red dye, that we like.

MiO review

Have you heard of MiO?
It is a liquid water enhancer.

In our family we don't drink water. We never do, juice, milk and soda are drinks of choice in our house.
I decided I wanted to kick my soda habit but knew I would need something yummy to take it's place.
I was perusing the grocery store and found these little liquid water enhancers. We have tried fruit punch.


The up side:
Delicious, tastes like juice, love it
Very easy to transport
No mess, just squeeze in how much you want.
It is adjustable, in the powder packets you can only fill a certain amount. I can fill a giant water bottle and adjust the taste for the kids water bottles and add less.

Down side:
Lots of red dye
Artificial sugar-sucralose actually

Human manufactured artificial sweeteners usually give me migraines, so far I have not been affected. Also Anya is pretty sensitive to colors, especially red. So far no ill side effects from that either.

So to report, I really like this product, so far, and am looking forward to trying new flavors.
I do wish they made one without an artificial sugar option.

MiO did not pay me or give me a sample to try of this product. I spent my own money and this is my own opinion

Welcome spring

Goodbye
