My Fall Essentials

Well, school finally got started, we took our last summer trip to the beach and the weather started getting cooler. Ok, it got cooler a couple of days last week. But, cool weather is still on the horizon!
 
The other day, I woke up to the cooler morning air and I couldn't resist getting into the fall mood.
 
Parachute, a luxury bedding company, inspired me to write about a few of my cozy fall essentials we have at our house. Without a doubt, the number one and two things we love for comfort in the cooler weather are pillows and blankets. I love blankets that are soft, fuzzy, and warm! I have several of these around my house in every room, ready to be used when laying down and watching a movie!
 
 
Fall shopping is always done around this time for both the kids and adults. As we walked into the store, my next favorite fall essential was on sale and staring right me - hoodies! In Texas, weather can change day by day and even hour by hour. It's often you wear a short sleeve shirt during the day but need a hoodie at night. I love soft but light hoodies that provide warmth but aren't too heavy and hot.

 
My next favorite fall essential is not only comfy but functional! I have quite a bit of marble floors in my house, which can be hard and cold. I love my memory foam fur lined house shoes They do keep my feet especially warm, so fall and winter is a great time to wear them. They are also hard soled on the bottom so provide protection in the outside as well, for when I go outside to enjoy my next favorite fall essential....
 
 
Coffee!
 
 
While I love coffee all year long, I find myself drinking a bit of iced coffee in the summer. Enjoying a hot cup of coffee is not appealing in 100+ degree weather. But there is nothing better than a hot cup of coffee on a nice, cool morning and luckily, there have been a couple of those mornings within the last couple of weeks and I'm ready for more!
 
What are your favorite fall essentials?

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...
