Colbi and The ABCs

Hey, Blogger. I don't like having to learn new ways of doing my Facebook all the time, and I don't like having to do it with you, either. Not a fan of you changing everything up on me.

Anyway, yesterday turned out to be a very busy but good day. I have decided I don't like taking pictures anymore because my camera stinks, as does my camera phone, and every picture I take is dull looking and blurry. So this is the only picture I got yesterday.

Guess what we did? Shopped for Colbi! I always forget how much stuff there is to register for with a new baby. Wow!

Avery actually got a new toy herself. That little pink cow she is holding sings the ABCs. She LLLOOOOVVVEEESSSS it. She made me press the button about 100 times last night. She can actually sing the ABCs, all the way to about H, but last night should would sing a random "W" or other letter. Then she would sing the end, "Now I know my ABCs..." I was already emotional when I got home because I just love hearing her try new things, so watching Marley and Me probably wasn't the best idea. Blubbering.

Anyway, have a great Monday, everyone!

I love Avery in this picture. Me, not so much.

About Blogger - I agree, and that was my exact reaction when I saw the new format. Thanks for your comment - Avery is a little doll face, and I love reading your updates!

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...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

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!...
