Colbi Spends the Night with Sophia, the Amazing Baby Whisperer! (and the rest of us)

I asked my sister if my beautiful, fun, crawling (what??) niece could come spend the night with us over the weekend. I really had to beg her for her to say yes. (Right.) We love having Colbi over here and the older she gets, the more fun it is. We especially like having her over when we have all three kids. There is no shortage of attention for her over here when he have all four of them!

Of course, when Sophia is around any baby, it's like watching magic. Babies, especially girls, just LLOOOVVEEE her. Maybe it's because she has two little sisters, but I just think it's because Sophia has a gift. Colbi couldn't take her eyes off of her!

Much like every time we have Colbi over, I always ask Jason, "Are you sure you don't want another one?" To which he very quickly replies, "YEP." Boo. :-)

But we will take this little sparkler any time we can. She just has such a wonderful disposition. Her smile is magnetic and so joyful. We didn't want to make Brooke and Dave feel bad, but we had her walking, potty trained, and saying "supercallifragilisticexpealidocious" before she went home. We are just really amazing with kids, you know. :-)

We ended the weekend with Avery in the playroom watching Brave, eating graham crackers.

Pretty good weekend!

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!&
