Last week I blogged a review of the Pur Water Pitcher I recieved and now I have the opportunity to give away a PUR water pitcher to two of my readers.

One of my goals is to have a tidy and organized house. One area that really needed organizing was the ‘diaper station’ in our bathroom. I just had the cloth diapers, covers and cloth wipes jumbled together in a cardboard box. First of all cardboard next to a wall especially in a moist area is [...]

The 19th is ‘month day’ at our house since both of our daughters were born on the 19th of the month they were born in. It is fun to give updates on the girls around this time. I am a few days late this month. Looking at the picture it may be difficult to point [...]

About Me!

Photobucket

I am a Canadian living in Utah. I am from the Vancouver area so I miss the ocean and trees. I am a stay at home mom to two beautiful girls, Sariah and Rebekah. I love to learn more about and practice Attachment Parenting and you could say I'm kind of Crunchy. I use cloth diapers and believe in child led weaning. I continually try to live a 'green lifestyle' to show respect for this Earth that our Father in Heaven created for us. I have been married to my husband - JJ for 4 years. JJ is from Tennessee and in his first year of grad school (BioChemistry PHD program). JJ and I both come from families of 5 children and we hope to have a big family as well!
