Bella and Avery, Take 2

Bella is the best dog in the whole world. Seriously. I love Molly, but Molly has her issues. She is a great dog, too, but Bella is just the perfect dog. Her only issue is that she stares at you when you are eating, which drives Jason nuts. She never jumps on you, she never bites, she has always been super calm. She loves laying by you but doesn't beg for your attention. She lets you love on her anytime you want. She never, ever has accidents in the house. She is smart. She is a wonderful, wonderful dog.

Neither Avery or Bella are really all that interested in each other just yet. I don't think Avery realizes that she can really play with her. I don't think Bella really cares one way or the other. She loves me more than anyone, everyone else is kind of an afterthought. But lately, since Avery has been crawling around, Bella is sometimes in her path. Bella will sometimes move, but most of the time, she'll just lay there. Yesterday morning, Avery was just crawling all over her and Bella just stayed there and let her. Molly won't really lie there and let her crawl on her. Now, Molly is great with the big kids. The big kids will just lay on top of her and she just lays there. Bella won't really do that. She doesn't like to be pinned down. But Molly is a great dog to lay on.

I love having dogs. Especially ones that are so good with kids.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best. So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System. This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me. "$61,000" she said. I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
