Michael Buble Concert

Crazy Love! 

 

I recently had the good fortune to attend a Michael Buble Crazy Love Concert.

 It was TOTALLY AWESOME.

It was like a comedic act and concert in one. 

He sang all my favorite songs, (Everything, Haven't Met You Yet, Hollywood and Feeling Good) so it was perfect.  Well, almost all my favorite songs.  I would have like to hear him sing Sway.  Maybe next time?

One of the best things about the concert was spending time with friends and family.

As an added bonus, we got to see a vocal play group called Naturally 7.

They were very awesome too!



Here's one place where you can find

Organize Your Lunch

I'm in a little bit of a panic.  My two little munchkins will be starting pre-k this coming year!  I've been agonizing over what to do about lunch.  Send lunch with them?  Have them eat in the school cafeteria?  What's the going thing right now?
So, I've been looking online for lunch box ideas.  I want to be ready.  I love the "bento" style of lunch boxes.  But for me, they must be kid friendly.  These lunch boxes make fixing lunch a snap.  I love all the lunch ideas they include on the web site at http://www.easylunchboxes.com/.  Someday, I'll see about adding a video of the kids using these...You know, in my spare time...

Sick, Sick, Sick and Sick again!

OK, so if you can't tell by the title, we've all been sick!  We've all had the flu and strep.  Went to the doctor on Friday and the kids got a clean bill of health (along with 4 immunization shots!).  Now the daycare calls and Alex has a fever.  When will it ever end???  Just when I thought things were getting back to normal.  Oh well.  We will just have to try and hang on until the spring.

I'm off to go disinfect something....or everything.... again.

Clothing Organization for Twins

This weekend I'm starting the new year off right.  I've washed, sorted and put away all the kids clothes.  I've pulled out everything that's too small for them or will be when summer comes around again.  I put anything too big and for summer into the storage bins under their bunk beds (Thanks Sally and Richard!)

 

Savannah has decided she likes dresses.  (After previously insisting that she hated dresses.)  I've had to buy dresses and leggings (because of the season) and I'm eliminating most of her jeans.  She's so skinny that most jeans won't fit her very well anyway.  They're either too long, to big around or too short.  I've ended up with 2 pair that she'll wear IF she's wearing the right shirt.  I'm worried I have a fashion diva on my hands.  She insists on wearing her boots with everything!!! (So, I bought her more boots! :).  I think I'd wear boots if I could find some that fit and had good support and affordable, but that's a different post altogether!).

Clothes are grouped together as outfits and folded or hung together.  I let the kids pick out, from the drawer, what they want to wear to go to daycare.  That way there's less trouble in them getting out of bed and dressed.

Shoes are stored in the shoe bin under the bunk bed steps.  Bedtime books are stored on the recessed step of the bunk bed.

Boots (sans the ones they currently have on and the pair outside that needs to be cleaned) are stored along the wall under the desk.

How long do you think it will all last?  Hopefully until the next laundry day.  We shall see!

Fresh Sugar Lemon Soap

 

No, it's not to eat.  I love this Sugar Lemon soap!  It's the best thing ever!  I haven't tried the other Fresh products.  I don't know if I'll be able to.  I imagine they're just as good as the Lemon Sugar, but I love the Lemon Sugar so much, I don't want to try anything else.  If I do, I'll let you know!

Merry Christmas from the Wards

I apologize for not posting sooner.  Life just has away of throwing a curve ball at you.  Things are better now, but it was a bit rough there for a bit.  Now we have hospital bills, but I'll worry about that after the first of the year.  Right now, it's just time to have fun with my family during this holiday season!  Here's wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
