Gosh I feel like I just can't catch up. 

I only did 2 blog posts in November. TWO! That's it! 

My life has been outta control busy and now hopefully things will slow down a bit and life will stop taking a poop on us. We've got the new house on lock-down and the car situation taken care of for the moment and now we're focusing on packing! Yay! T-minus 7 days! Can't wait!

Here's our new pad:

And here is my attempt to catch up a little bit on life.

Our 4 pups hanging out on the couch with me on Sunday while watching the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead. We love that show and I can't wait for it to start up again in 2013.

I love this saying. Fits our family perfect.

Also, I love this picture I snapped when Hails was in the bathtub one night. Getting puppy kisses from Bella. I know it's just a matter of time before she is in a toddler bed and they will want to start sleeping with her.

And how cute is she in her little peacoat. I've gotten so many compliments on it.

I went to the premiere of this movie and I loved how it tied the whole series together! 
What a great movie!

Still loving this guy as always:

I have so many movies to catch up on, but I finally saw these movies recently:

I know, I know. So late to the party. I liked them both. 

I am looking forward to this one coming out in 2013:

LOVING this new pair.

Photobucket

I have it on repeat!


With all the craziness lately in our lives, I'm loving my Husband more and more everyday. Everything just makes us stronger and makes our communication that much better. He has also been stressed with different things going on, not only in our personal lives, but at his work as well. He is not only out and about providing for our family, but he is such a saving grace with Hailey as well. She absolutely adores him and I cherish it everyday. I saw this funny recently and I just love it.

Photobucket

To put it simply:

"She is everything and everything is she."

My new goal is to be all caught up with 2012 posts IN 2012 and start 2013 off fresh.
Crossing my fingers!

Happy 15th Birthday to my younger sister, Amie, today. She is not only my sister, but Hailey's Aunt AND Godmother! I love you so much!!
Photobucket

We are having her birthday dinner tonight at my parents house and then Amie has requested to watch the SERIES FINALE of One Tree Hill together. I can't believe after 9 seasons it's going to be over. Wah! And even thoughthe cast has changed over the years, it's still better than ever.
This is the original cast:

The finale cast:

Baptism Invites were done last week and went in the mail on Monday. I wanted to wait for people to see them before posting it. I did them myself and am so happy how they turned out.
Photobucket

I know what I will be doing for food for the baptism, but I can't decide where I want to order Hailey's baptism cake from. I had a cake made for Adam's birthday party from the same bakery that did our wedding cake, but I don't know if I want to go with them again or try something different.
We decided to keep this gathering somewhat small (Immediate family, grandparents and sponsors), but we plan on going all out for her first birthday in June. Is it sad or normal that I'm already thinking of her first birthday? I already have somewhat a theme going. I think.

I turn 29 next week. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Right now I have no words.

My boss is hosting a lunch on Friday to celebrate my birthday. I'm excited for that. Yummy, free lunch from Cosi.

Last Friday, Hailey and I went to see The Wanted at the KDWB Skyroom.They are from the UK and are super dreamy. I'm obsessed with this song "Glad You Came" and have been for quite sometime now.



They performed this song "Lose My Mind" and now I'm loving this song, too.


Here are our pictures from the Skyroom. Here is Max (my fave) holding Hailey.

Then Daddy stepped in.

Us with the boys.
Photobucket

So fun! This is their newest single "Lightning" that was released just this past Tuesday.


  Their album comes out on April 24th and I can't wait to get it!
Next Tuesday Hailey is going to be modeling some baby clothes on the Kare 11 Today show. It airs every morning at 11:00 am after the Today show. I'm hoping to get a copy the segment she will be on. I want to be able to share it. I am way more excited about it than I probably should be, but she gets to keep the clothes she models in. Yay! That's about all I know.
I got my most recent Norwex order this week. At Rachel's party on 3/17/2012, I ordered a few things. I haven't been able to really try the new stuff out yet, but I will let you know when I do.
Kitchen Scrub Cloth
I wanted this for the kitchen to scrub down the stove, refrigerator, sink, dishes or pots and pans. I decided I rather not use my Kitchen Cloths for that and with spring cleaning I thought it would be nice to have.
Photobucket
White Netted Dish Cloth

This is a dish or pot/pan scrubber. It's supposed to replace your dish sponges. I'm hoping to get rid of our sponges and not have to buy anymore.Plus, do you know how much bacteria is in a used sponge? Gross!
Photobucket

Kitchen Cloth Set - 3 pack

I already have this set, but wanted another set. I'm constantly wiping the counters, or Hailey's face, or her highchair tray, etc. Although I know I don't have to, I have been washing them probably about every other day.
Photobucket

Sportzyme

I got this for our shoes mostly. Mine can get so stinky, as can Wayne's. This also works great on equipment bags or sporting equipment, etc.
Photobucket

Hand Towel (for the bathroom)

I wanted to at least start getting bathroom products. I'm hoping to get some of the body towels, the bath mat and a few more body wash cloths at some point, too.

Photobucket

Carpet Stain Buster

I am the most excited about this. With 4 dogs our carpet can get so bad and I know with this I am not spraying harmful chemicals on the floor for Hailey to soak in.

Norwex Update!

If you don't know what Norwex is and want to learn more, read my post HERE!

Here is my Norwex update:

At Shelly's party on 2/20/2012, I ordered a few things. I just received them last week, so I haven't had much time to try out the new things, but this is what I ordered:

Tea Towel Set - olive green

I had gotten the Kitchen Cloth Set (pack of 3) from my party in January and love them, but the Tea Towel set, includes a hand towel AND one kitchen cloth AND they match. Not that I care so much about matching, but I can if I'm having people over.

Photobucket

Dishwashing Liquid

Not only for dishes, but I heard this works great on stains, too. Any kind of stains. Since I just got it, I haven't had time to try it out yet, but I will be doing future posts about Norwex and what new products I like, etc.

Photobucket

Sanira Toilet Brush System

I got one from my party in January for our upstairs bathroom, but I wanted one for the basement bathroom, too.

Photobucket

Laundry Detergent

I got another bag. I got my first one back at the end of November and then just ran out of it in mid-February, so I did purchase some other detergent in the mean-time. But my Hubs told me to always keep an extra bag on hand, so I will probably be getting another one soon for back-up.

It did last me quite a long time. At least I think so.

Photobucket

Silver Care Toothbrush

I got one for me back in November, but finally got one for the Hubs, too. He loves it. At least that's what he tells me. Ha.

Photobucket

Odor Eliminator

I bought this hoping to use it like Febreeze. I haven't used it yet, cause I need to get a spray water bottle since it has to be diluted. I'm probably most excited to use this product.

Photobucket

At Rachel's party on Saturday, I ordered the following:
  • Kitchen Scrub Cloth
  • Dish Cloth
  • Kitchen Cloth Set - 3 pack (yes, another 3 pack)
  • Sportzyme
  • Hand Towel (for the bathroom)
  • Carpet Stain Buster
If you want to go look up any of the products go HERE!

Norwex!

Norwex!

Back in November, my Mom asked me to go to a cleaning party at one of her co-workers house.

A what?

Yes, you heard me right. A cleaning party. I thought she was crazy, but of course I went.

1) I was intrigued about what a "cleaning party" would consist of;
2) My Mom wanted to show Hailey off to her co-workers; and
3) Again, I was intrigued about what a "cleaning party" would consist of.

So, off we went.

I know it totally sounds weird, but let's just say it changed my life drastically.
For the better I might add.

Here's the quick lowdown on the basics of the products taken from the website:

The Norwex line of cleaning products saves you money and time, improves the health of you and your family, and helps us to move towards a safer better environment. Norwex cleaning products go beyond "surface clean" with the innovative use of silver particles integrated into synthetic microfiber cloth. 
  • Single-celled micro-organisms such as fungi, yeast, bacteria, and viruses cannot survive or adapt in silver exposure
  • Surface-to-surface cross-contamination is eliminated - without the use of any harmful chemicals!
  • Rapidly drying cloths prevent bacteria growth in the cloth itself
Using Norwex cleaning products with WATER ONLY creates a healthy outcome for us and the environment.

Basically, it is chemical free cleaning and chemical free living!

Basically I went to the first party in November, fell in love with these products and then had my own party in January. Then my Mom's friend, Shelly, booked a party from my party and that was just last Monday (2/20/2012). And now another friend of mine is having a party in March, but from another rep. That will be 4 parties so far. Can you say addicted?

In November I just started with the basic package (see below). There were so many products I wanted, but I knew I had to pace myself and start little by little. I was amazed by not only the products, but also the presentation by Kris and knew that I had to try it and get this basic package first. With Hailey being 4 months old, I knew it would be no time at all before she was crawling around on our floors and putting things in her mouth. I wanted to get the cleaning chemicals as far away from her as possible.

Photobucket
  The basic package consists of 3 things.


Go check out the links to each individual product where it explains each of them.

Here they are hanging in my linen closet.

Photobucket

Also, here is a little video as well that explains and demonstrates the 3 products above. You can also find this on the website as well.


Like I said because there were so many things I initially wanted, I knew I had to pace myself. So a few weeks later, I ended up ordering the Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent

Photobucket


Photobucket

I then hosted my own party in January and just for hosting this party I got a ton of free product.

Photobucket

  •  Superior Mop Starter Package;
  • Antibac Kitchen Cloth Set (3 pack);
  • Veggie and Fruit Scrub (green);
  • Cleaning Paste;
  • Bathroom Scrub Mitt (pink);
  • Another Starter package (Blue Enviro Cloth, Pink Window Cloth, Blue Dust Mitt)
  • Antibac Turban (tan)
  • Norwex Lint Mitt (blue)
  • Antibac Body Pack (neutral)
  • Sanira Toilet Brush System

I didn't put links to them all, but you can find them all on the website.

I got all the above just for having a party! I was stunned and so excited to get all this product into my house and really start using it.

Here is the broom/mop on my wall.

Photobucket

It came with the wall mount.

Photobucket

I love how it is up off the floor out of the way.

This is the hair turban.

Photobucket

It's hanging up next to our shower.
I love how easily accessible it is.

Photobucket

At Shelly's party on Monday, I ordered the following:
  • a Tea Towel Set (green)
  • Dishwashing Liquid (that works great on stains, too)
  • Sanira Toilet Brush System (for basement bathroom)
  • more Laundry Detergent (yes, the last bag lasted me since November)
  • a Silvercare Toothbrush (for the Hubs)
  • Odour Eliminator
I'm super excited to get the new products (Dishwashing Liquid and Odour Eliminator) I haven't tried, yet. I'm continually amazed by everything I try. I should get them within a week or two and will most likely do another post after that.

Again, I highly suggest going to the website. There is a ton of information and products on it, so surf until your hearts content and PLEASE ask me if you have any questions. 

Also, let me know if you are interested in coming with me to the next party at my friend, Jenny's house on Saturday, March 10th.

Happy Cleaning!

I'm Thankful {Days 13 & 14}

I'm Thankful {Days 13 & 14}

November 13th: I'm thankful for our house. We do not own it, we rent. Someday we hope to own a house somewhere, but we will see. I am just thankful we have a roof over our heads that we can call our "own," especially in Minnesota with winter coming up. I am also thankful that it's in a great location, close to our jobs and other amenities.

Photobucket

November 14th: I'm thankful for our neighbors. We really lucked out and have some great neighbors. They have great kids and love dogs as much as we do and are tolerable of our 4 pups. I also know that if we were ever in a pinch we could go to them with anything. This is my sisters and me with them at an event at the MOA.

Photobucket

What are you thankful for?

Leah
