We had a blow out, in a fancy restaurant. Yup. She walked out in just fluff.

We play outside in just Fluff…cause that’s how we roll.

And eat Doughnuts in nothing but Fluff.

Cousins in the Fluff. (yes I put him in fluff, I cannot convince his mama:( )

Just some of our Stash….which sadly most of this is sitting right now. I need to just list them on Diaper Swappers, but haven’t had the chance. There are 10 Bum Genius, 2 Fuzzi Bunz, and a few other diapers that I’m willing to sell or trade. Something you’d be interested in? Let me know. Hopefully SOMEday I’ll get them posted! LOL

10 on Tuesday

1. Went back to the dentist today. They took x-ray’s and found that there were bone fragments still in the socket where they pulled my wisdom tooth. They cleaned it out and he said it should be good to go now! Let’s hope he’s right. Cause I’m done with this stupid thing.

2. Dahrran is growing up too fast! He has his school program on Thursday night, and has TWO speaking parts. I’m excited, but I know he is nervous. He also has TWO birthday parties to attend this week. One tomorrow night, and another on Sunday.

3. Top to Bottom Logo
Along with all the other things I’ve had on my plate lately, I started a new job. A job that I LOVE! And the best part, I can set my own hours, work as many or as little as I’d like, work in my pj’s or get all dressed up, and I get to promote Cloth Diapers! What am I doing? I’m the new Social Media Coordinator for Top to Bottom Baby Boutique, an Omaha based cloth diaper store. Jess is great to work with. I’m in charge of promoting Top to Bottom Baby Boutique via twitter, Facebook and their Blog (which is in the design process and totally my baby!). I’m so excited to be doing something I love! And the fact that I can do it from anywhere is great too!

4. Just a little insight on what it takes to get 27 kids to sit still long enough to get pictures snapped. That includes 8 mama’s plus grandma trying to get at least ONE good picture! (FORGET IT! I'm done! Lost the picture because it looked goofy, and now I can't get it to upload again! Guess it's telling me to just get off the computer and clean my house!)


5. Windows Live Writer is pissing me off today….so I guess this is a 5 on Tuesday instead!

6 degrees of blogging

Here are the rules

:
*Start on your blog and clink on another blog's link. Keep clicking through to another blog until you get to the 6th blog.

So I started on my blog and clicked on :

1.
popping out
She’s having a special event going on…but hurry today is the last day to enter!

Then I went to:

From there we ended up here:

Go read about this family. They’ve had some trials over the last year, but hopefully are headed on their way to a better “normal”. I’m reading now, hoping and praying that such a strong mama can keep her spirits up for her kiddos!

What we’ve been up to.

I know I’ve been a slacker. But to my defense it’s spring….and I LOVE spring. Spring/Fall are my favorite seasons. To top off the fact that it’s spring, it’s not raining…yet at least. So we’ve been outside cleaning the yard, and just enjoying the nice weather.

I’ve also had a few projects under my belt. There’s this one….where I helped a fellow Cloth Diaper mom out, and then this one….where I’ve started making my own Cloth Wipes for other Cloth Diaper mom’s.
I’ve also been slacking on the Favorite Fluff Friday event. I do have 3 reviews in the process…..and they’re ALL diapers! So soon there will be another fun Favorite Fluff Friday review going on!

We’re also looking to put our house back on the market. Anyone who’s had their house for sale knows how much of a pain this can be. And to do it with three kids is even worse! I’m trying my hardest to get it clean enough to even list. Over the last few months we’ve just cluttered everything up, and so I’m in the process of spring cleaning!

 An update on my tooth....I got ahold of the doctor and they prescribed a prescription. I've taken it all, but there is still gunk leaking out of my tooth. I feel like I have a huge zit in my mouth! :( I do go to see them tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully we'll know more then. 

I hope you all haven’t left me! I promise to answer any questions you had for me, and if you didn’t get yours in yet, go ahead and leave them here. I plan to post them on Thursday this week, so get them in! :)

MacKenzie down right refused to take pictures with the bunny, but after a little coaxing she went right up. I was surprised she even gave the bunny a hug. This is HUGE for her! We’re so proud!
Easter Morning.

They know they have to get their picture taken every time before they’re allowed to go down the stairs.

What would you do?

UPDATED: I tried to call them….got the answering machine, called the number that was on there, no answer. So I went ahead and called back to the office and left a message. I figure the ball is in their court now, and we’ll go from there. Joel was mad because I hadn’t called them yet when I talked to him. So guess we just wait and see now!

*****************************

Remember how I had a wisdom tooth pulled way back in February? Well remember how I had problems with it dry socketing?  And then how it got infected? Yeah. Well that tooth, or shall I say hole in my mouth, because after all the tooth wasn’t bothering me before. It just needed to come out because it was partially through the gum & down the road it could’ve become a problem.

Fast forward 6 weeks from getting said wisdom tooth pulled, and wake up one Easter morning with a HUGE cheek. To the point where DH was making fun of me because I look like a chipmunk….I’ll agree I did! But it’s a Sunday so you just deal with it, it doesn’t hurt so I’m fine.

Come today. I call the dentist office to see if I can get in to get it looked at or to see if they can at least call me in a prescription because it is leaking pussy gunk into my mouth. They’re CLOSED….for the Easter Holiday. UGH. But you can call them at home if it’s an emergency.

Do I call? It’s not really an emergency, cause I’m not in pain. I just look like crap! What do you do? Call them at home, or just wait till tomorrow? Let me know…I’m going to call them before noon if you all think I should!

Katydid Cloth Diaper Winner

Wow, I cannot believe how good these giveaways get. With each one it seems like we’re getting more and more entries. I love it! I love hearing from you all, and seeing my inbox over flow with comments is nice too….With further ado:

Kayla is a new mommy of a sweet little girl. She’s also new to the blogging world and has quite the cute little blog going on at Money Sew, Monkey Do.  GO on over and give her some loving. If you post a comment on her blog you’ll get an extra entry into our next Favorite Fluff giveaway!

Kayla, you have 48 hours to get in touch with me! :) I’ll need your address so I can mail the diaper out!

*****************

In other news, it’s super nice here. Like 30 degrees above normal. So you can tell we’ve been outside quite a bit in the last couple days. Of course I’ve been cleaning up dog poo, but we’ve also been getting our yard back into shape. I love it, I love being outside.

Since I’ve been knee deep in leaves, brush and well sand when I find time. My camera has been in the house. I don’t have many “blog worthy” things and so I guess I’m going to be asking for your help!

It’s been a while since I did one of these types of posts. So I think it’s really time for another one!

****************

Ask us anything!
Anything at all.
Want to know my favorite supper to make?
Maybe the one food each of my kids won’t eat no matter how hard I try?
Or maybe you must know what my favorite color is?

So there you have it. I’m leaving this open until Tuesday April 6th. Leave a comment on this blog and let me know what you want to know. Or if you’d prefer to email me that’s fine too! :)
