Yep, I'm still here

I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging in a year! Just been busy, I guess.

Well, Avery went to the dermatologist on Friday and she does have bad eczema. She got a cream (topical steroid) that will help her. Fortunately, the doctor thinks she will grow out of it at some point! She also got the all-clear from the dentist.

We had a garage sale on Saturday, which I would deem a success! I sold my SGP student council jersey from freshman year. A random 40 year old man of the Mexican persuasion (who I am not too sure knew what it was) bought it.
We did Valentine's for the kids this morning because we won't see them next weekend before the actual Valentine's Day! We gave them some candy and their cards and mom and dad got them some goodies too. Avery will get hers on Valentine's Day.


Avery's new spot is with the dog's in their "doggie corner." She will just go and sit with them. It's pretty cute, actually!



Also, my dad got a new toy for his birthday and I WANT it. It's a camera that is simply awesome. It has a USB port connected to it and you can take pictures while filming a video, then plug the camera into the computer and upload them in no time. Best part, no blur!!! I am blown away. It's kind of pricey, but I am thinking it's worth it. I took these pictures while simultaneously videoing.





Pretty good quality, no blur! And yes. On occasion, as a treat, I feed my daughter chocolate milk. So sue me.


Have a good week!

poor little girl-I have eczema and as a kid took LOTS of oatmeal baths to keep the itching down!

and btw, I totally gave George part of my chocolate cupcake the other day to keep him from screaming :)

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...

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!...
