Grocery Shopping is the Enemy!

Since Matt and I have been married I have gone grocery shopping by myself only a few times. My reason for dragging my husband along is that there are too many people at the store and they leave their grocery carts in the middle of the aisle, don't watch where they are going and are just inconsiderate. 

So last night Matt tells me quite firmly that I will have to go by myself this time because he has quite a bit of homework and the house is in desperate need of food. So I gather up my will power and set out.

We like to look through the weekly ads and find the best deals and since our grocery stores don't price match (and I refuse to go to Wal-mart unless its an absolute necessity) I had to go to 3 different stores. 

My first destination was supposed to be Sunflower market to get some produce. Well, instead of going there I accidentally went to Whole Foods because I get the two of them mixed up and I didn't realize I was in the wrong store until I already had a few things in my basket and saw that these weren't the right prices that I had so carefully scouted before. So I proceeded to check out with my oranges and strawberries because I didn't want to put them back and leave to find the right store. So I left and went to my second destination.

The second store wasn't so bad. Not too many people were there and I made a friend at the pineapple stand. On our list it had the number 3 next to the pineapples and I was little confused as to why Matt wanted 3, but I got 3 anyways. I mean they were a good deal... Anyway, I then went to the third store where there were quite a few more people than the other stores but I made it out alive and then made it home.

When I got home Matt helped me unload and put everything away. When he saw the bag of pineapples he asked, "what's with all the pineapples?" I told him the list said 3 on it. He told me it meant 3 pounds not the 3 pineapples. Haha... oops. Oh well, now we have lots of yummy pineapple and we can cut it up and freeze it for later. This is why I need Matt or a grocery shopping partner friend to go with me on these excursions.

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
