Conversation

I love the conversations I have with my girls.

On the way home from gymnastics yesterday evening Meghan asked if I saw the open garage we just passed. I didn't so I said "no, why?". She said there was a full size bed in the garage,with a comforter on it with really pretty pillows too. I told her maybe someone was getting a new bed and was being surprised. She said..."in the garage?"! I then said maybe a couple had a fight and the person was being kicked out of the house! She knew I was joking and said "what if you did that to Dad?....then said "wait, where would you sleep?". Jenna jumped into the conversation and said I could sleep on the floor in her room!Haha Meghan told Jenna she could move her stuffed bears/animals off her bed and I could sleep with her....Jenna said she couldn't do that to her animals.haha

Meghan said "Mom, you could sleep with me".

I love how Jenna was concerned about where I would sleep but wasn't willing to give up her bed for me!

This and that

I sometimes forget what pictures I have taken. Meghan and Jenna regularly ask me to take pictures of their dolls. On the day I took this picture, we were heading out to a Lowes Build and Grow. The dolls, Jackson and Anna went with us.

Sarah likes to keep busy and she loves to paint. I actually like it because it can keep her busy for a lot longer than some other crafts and activities.

Nothing really exciting going on with us. We had some beautiful, warm weather this week. Everywhere we move I am always told about the "unusual weather" that is happening and Ohio is keeping to that tradition.

We haven't had much snow and the weather had been much warmer than most winters.

I am hoping for a nice snow storm before winter ends.

Have a great Super Bowl weekend!

Big girl

I wasn't going to keep monthly posts going for Sarah, but wanted to share this recent picture of her because she looks so much older. It's like she woke up and wasn't a baby anymore. She looks more like a little girl and not so much like a baby girl these days. She is on the go from the moment she wakes up.

Thankfully she likes to watch a little TV or I wouldn't get very much accomplished during the day.

Her favorite place(s) to play is her big sisters' rooms.

Yesterday she climbed on Meghan's bed and got cozy with all the stuffed animals. Meghan then helped hide all but her head!

Bzzing about stuff

While we were living in England, I heard of a company that sent out really cool things for free. All I had to do was try it, talk about it and then tell the company what I thought...and what I said about it.

I have had some pretty awesome campaigns and they are getting better and better.

I am a Bzzagent for a Word Of Mouth company and I love it!

I take surveys and fill out questionaries to see what fit with me and my life.

This most recent campaign is for the Comfort brand baby/toddler products. These are sold at Kroger and since that is my main shopping stop this was pretty cool.

I have used these diapers and wipes for a few months and love them. The price is what lured me in at first. I wanted to try a new diaper that didn't break the bank....or leak.

It's bonus that I get to try a pack of diapers and wipes for free....because I would have purchased them anyway.

I like that the sizes of the diapers are actually correct....meaning they have a weight on the pack to show what size is needed and they actually fit! I have found other brands run a little small. They also don't leak, they have nice elastic around the legs but don't leave marks.

The wipes that I like are the thick ones because I don't want to use half a container for one change and these are nice and thick and are fragrance free.

The new item for us to try is the cups! Sarah used one for her milk at dinner and it was a nice size in her hand and worked well for her. I did leave out the plastic internal tab because she is old enough to use it without it.

Great products and a great price!

Winter Finally Arrived

We finally got enough snow that it almost covered the ground.haha

It has been in the single digits for the past few mornings and I love the cold crisp feel in the air.

The snow is slowly melting and I think later this week we will be back in the 40s and it might even rain.

I hope I can post snow pictures at least one more time this year, with more than an inch on the ground.

Home is where the military sends you..

I'm linking up today to Kelly's Korner for the "show us your life....Military families". We are not currently active duty....but most of the 30-some years of my life have been as a dependent to my Dad then my husband in the U.S. Air Force. I was born on a military base and moved around with my family until my Dad retired. I was born in North Carolina....then we moved to, North Dakota, Germany, Montana, and Nebraska then returned to North Carolina. I met my husband in North Carolina (he was active duty)...we were married 2 1/2 years later. We stayed in NC for a while. We had our first child in NC...then headed to California (had baby #2)....then England (had baby #3)....South Carolina for less than a year, and we are now calling Ohio home. I have loved living the military life and miss it. I love that I have had the chance to see the country and parts of the world, memories that will last a lifetime!
