Sisters on Foto Friday

Couldn't resist this one of my two lovely girls. They can fight like cats and dogs but when they're kind to each other, nothing is sweeter.

Good Days

This post is from from my other blog here

The other day, out of the clear blue, I hear a tender little voice sigh and say, "Mama, I love you in my whole life." The sound of those words in that voice instantly took my breath away. "You do?" I answered. And after a moment she said, "Yah. I love you in my whole heart too."



I'd say things are finally looking up.

March Madness (aka The Month of The Domino Effect)

This post is from from my other blog here

3/1 - 3/5 - I threw my back out something terrible and was totally out of commission.

3/6 - Finally able to walk again and had mommy friends and a brood of 3-year-olds over to welcome an out of town guest. Friend's child threw up at the party. The real fun begins here as does the Domino Effect.

3/7 - Another mommy friend and her daughter got the bug.

3/8 - 3/11 - My youngest got it. And this is when I miss my big mommy-only overnight outing to Santa Barbabra.

3/11 - 3/12 - I got it. Bad. And this is where I miss most of my sisters wedding, barely hanging on for the ceremony and leaving before the reception.

3/13 - My oldest got it/has it. And a phone call from my mother confirmed she's down too.

And now, after two full weeks of total chaos, it's official, things (as in almost everything internet) are falling through the cracks. If you are one of them...please forgive me if I have been unresponsive. I will be picking up the pieces of March for a while, I'm sure. And do I even have to say that I am petrified of what tomorrow might hold.

Foto Friday in the Kitchen

Well, I'm supposed to be gone today on a grown up girls weekend away BUT the stomach flu hit hard and so I'm home nursing my daughter back to healty instead of hitting the road with my friends. Ah motherhood. What terrible luck. Anyway, this is a shot of happier times when food stayed IN the stomach, where it belongs.

Well Well Well

This post is from from my other blog here

My daughters aren't all that messy. I mean, I guess it's nothing that really is an issue with us. I will admit that my youngest daughter often resembles a street urchin but more than anything else, it's her bedhead that dictates that. Oh, and her clothing. And that fact that she goes barefoot almost all the time. Um, OK, well, so like I said, my kids aren't all that messy so I haven't carried wipes around with us for quite some time. Many of my friends with preschool aged children still tote around the wipes for anything and everything. But, not us. I will admit that I have some antibacterial something or other in my side pocket of my car door but that's only used once in a while. Like when my kids remind me that they've been playing all day at school and are about to dig in to some greasy french fries. Oh, OK then, better sanitize! Greasy fries are one thing, germy greasy fries, not so much.

I didn't really realize it but letting my kids eat germs must have been a thing I once took pride in. Weird, I know. But, once when we were out with the kids getting ice cream, my girl friend asked to borrow a Wipe. I smugly replied, ""my kids don't need them." We exchanged a glance back and forth not exactly sure what to say next. She finally rolled her eyes at me and we both cracked up. Fast forward to Clean Well entering the picture about 6 months later. I am a changed woman. I am Wipe Mom, super clean, super eco, super proud. Thanks Clean Well for showing me the err of my ways!

Clean Well is a new hand-sanitizing product that comes not only in a Wipe but also in this svelte and sexy little spray bottle that feels good in your hands. And I'm not even talking about the spray itself yet! I'm here to tell you, I can't hardly resist me some good packaging. So, yes, the spray. Light and lovely. Easy to pump and it dries quickly and leaves your hands feeling normal again in seconds. Not sticky or gooey or smelling of menthol (like the mystery product from my car that I finally threw out). Ick. I will admit that Clean Well had my interest piqued the minute I experienced the website (even before I got the product to try) . I was not only impressed by the visual vibe (what can I say, that stuff sells me) but also the entire idea behind the newest, freshest product on the market. When the goods arrived, they did not disappoint. I'll put it this way, one of the mini spray bottles was stolen from me, by my daughter, who keeps it in the front pocket of her lunch cooler. She has become Sanitizer Girl and all the kids gather round for a super squirt before lunch. When the kids want to use it, it's a gooood thing.

The other evening when the kids and I went to grab a pizza with the fore mentioned friend of mine and her daughter, she made commented at the end of the meal that she didn't have a Wipe. And then her eyes met mine and we locked gazes and squinted at each other in kind of a Jerry and Newman moment. "Ah ha! But I do," and out came the big guns...my Clean Well Wipes. As I held up the individually wrapped Wipe she gasped, "What it this adorable thing?" snatched it out of my hands, proceeded to tear it open, inhale the lemony fresh scent, unfold the very large Wipe and breathed, "Mmmmm, yummy, where can I get some of these?" So, now, you have proof that this stuff is awesome. Not just from me, but from one of the original Wipe Moms and that's sayin' something.

If you want to know what's in this uber sanitizer and how it works (all-natural, safe for baby, alcohol-free, etc, etc) you can read all about it on the site because it's all there in gorgeous green and white. If you want to know how it is, up close and personal, then you probably can tell by now, I'm into it.
