Happy New Year!

Ok, so I know that it's already February and I haven't posted in forever! I am sorry. Truly. Well, for those of you who don't know already, I have been working for the LDS church headquarters in the floral department as an assistant. I get to help put up all of the indoor Christmas trees on temple square. I am now going to explain why my posts have been lacking of late. During the late months of 2011 I first had an accident where I fell in a hole in a stage at work, then a few weeks later someone ran into one of our cars in the middle of the night and drove off. Then I dropped a very heavy barricade pole on my foot at work and broke my toe, then a few weeks after that I crashed the very same car that had been hit. Needless to say, we had a very eventful end of the year. We managed to stay afloat with the help of a very generous family and lots of budgeting and saving. We are very grateful for these experiences and the lessons we have gleaned from them.

In case you are wondering, I have not stopped massaging. I am still doing alignment therapy. I have some new clients lined up in fact, and I am working on learning how to bill insurance! It's a very exciting time and also a time of patience. I am itching to start doing therapy more frequently when I end my temp job with the church. It was nice having a little break where I could find out what I really want to do with my career. I am still in love with body work. After I ended school, I intended on doing a neurological case study with alignment therapy, but my interests have changed and I am working on a post-natal case study and then after I'm done with that, I want to start an MS case study. Case studies help me find out about certain disfunctions and issues and to see how alignment therapy can help individuals with those things. I want to eventually specialize in an area that interests me and pioneer for others in the future.

Ok, so hopefully there will be more to come this year and things will be uneventful :)

The Baby Story: Unexpected Suprises

Image
So here's the low down on how my baby came to be (not the first stages- we all know how that happened).  It started on a Saturday night at our ward Halloween party. I started feeling contractions every 20 minutes. They weren't very strong, but I knew that finally things were happening. It made me really excited because it was the day before my due date and it would be super awesome if she came on her due date. The contractions continued through the night (very hard to sleep through by the way) every 20 minutes. In the morning around 9, they started to get farther apart and we were sad, hoping that it would have progressed instead of slowing down.  That night they started up again at 20 minutes apart and by Monday morning around 5:30, they were coming 3-5 minutes apart and went on for a good hour. YAY! It's time to go to the hospital! Now, our car has an odd quirk. Sometimes if it's too cold outside, then the ignition won't start and it will alert t

Weekly Themes. Advice Would Be Helpful.

Ok, so I haven't updated the blog all summer long- but this is not the post that will update you on my summer.  This is a blogger in need of advice. I am the kind of person who needs structure to my days. I like to have things planned out so I know whats going on and I can figure out how to be flexible.  So I decided to plan out exactly how each of my days with Olivia would run. I wrote down what I would do at each wake time and each nap time. And I told myself this was a tentative schedule and we would see if it ran smoothly.  Well, finding motivation to actually put my plans into action is super difficult. I made a list of things I wanted to do with Olivia, which I admit, the goals were a bit lofty. What am I supposed to do?? There are so many blogs about sensory boxes and teaching your kid every state in the U.S. and making them a super genius by age 3. So I wanted to make sure Olivia was going to get that from me. I wanted her teachers (when she eventually goes

My Cloth Diaper Experience So Far

Image
Hey Friends, I know it's been a long time coming, but I had to make sure I had this down before I posted about my cloth diaper experience. I still have a lot of learning and improving to do but here is what I've got so far. If you want to just get down to business, I have a video at the bottom here that you can just watch without reading the boring story first ;) So to begin, as some of you may know, I received a TON of cloth diapers from a friend and since we were considering trying it anyway, this really tipped us over the fence and here we are doing cloth diapering. At first, I wanted to wait because I thought Olivia was too small for any of the diapers I had, which I found out was not actually true, they just look HUGE when you put them on your baby. You can also make diapers smaller, which I show in the video. My first day on the job was hard. The first time I tried to spray poop off a diaper was, simply put: messy. **Holding the diaper more down in th
