Well, we got our appraisal back and are moving forward with closing on a house! This is definitely a new era in the JAC household. With buying a home comes all kinds of other hassles. We need to put in a fence to keep the kids from running out into traffic, call in a window covering guy to figure out some blinds for our abnormally shaped windows, and come up with a way to wash our clothes. That last one is actually the first one. We can live a few weeks keeping the children on a leash holding the kids’ hands and even living in a fishbowl for all the [Read More...]

*Review Product c/o Nellie’s All-natural* Well, after struggling with more hard water issues this Spring, it was time to experiment with more adventures in laundry detergent! We were suffering in a bad way with buildup from our previous detergent caused by our hard water. It is just SO HARD. I am interested to see if the water in our new place is a little softer.

He even uses the potty chair every day, although sporadically. The speech delay has caused some communication issues, so trainers are definitely a must-have for us. Trainers are often expensive, at least as much as cloth diapers, which can be frustrating when you use them for a much [Read More...]

  As a parent of two in diapers (yes, my three year old is taking a while to get with the program) I have encountered my fair share of diaper rash issues. I also admit to having A LOT of diaper creams. Different balms serve different purposes, and with cloth diapers, you need to be mindful of certain ingredients. I generally avoid synthetic ingredients, petroleum, and fish oils when choosing a diaper rash treatment, so when I had a chance to test out the new balm by Love Munchkin, I was all in! * Love Munchkin is a line of natural skin care using real ingredients and they recently came [Read More...]
