Let me tell you about...

...my favorite cloth diapers!!! I have recently discovered Nifty Nappy cloth diapers thanks to my friend Tara, and they have quickly become my favorite diapers! They are are adorable and soooo absorbent!!! They also are one size and will fit from about 7lbs to about 35lbs. My 6 month old and my almost 2 year old use the same diapers!!

Anyways! The owner is having a giveaway contest on her blog 6 And Still Sane! If you have wanted to try cloth diapers, this is a good chance to win some free ones! The giveaway is for a $50 gift card, so that can get you two diapers, or a diaper and a wool cover! This is a great opportunity, don't miss out!

Lots of changes!

We have lots of changes going on at our house! My amazing husband deployed in July, and we miss him like crazy! We are 7.2 weeks in now, and we are starting to get in to a routine. The girls and I get to talk to him pretty much every day, so I'm thankful for that!

The kids are growing more and more every day! Meadow started preschool, and she just loves it! She has so much fun play and learning. She brings home art projects every day, and sings me songs that she learns. :)

  

Sage is crawling and sitting up now, and she is trying to pull up on things. She is also eating table food, and loves it!!

I have been moving quickly in my college classes, so hopefully I can graduate in 2012!

Big news! I have also started training to become a doula! I am getting my certification through Birth Arts International. I am so excited about it because I love pregnancy and birth, and I am passionate about it. I have a couple of pregnant friends who are going to let me be their doula. I am so excited about it, and I can not wait to learn more and more so that I can help these beautiful women have beautiful births! My business name is Born to Birth Doula Services, and this blog is going to be a business blog as well. :)

I guess that's it for now... I'll update more often, promise. Well, we'll see, haha, I'm not very good at updating.............

Starting Over Again....

It has been well over a year since I have even really looked at my blog, but I thought I'd hop over here for a bit. :) My husband is always saying I should blog more. I think he just likes how much I dote on him in my bio. ♥

My family circa 2010 ☺

So much has happened in the past year. Mid may 2009 we found out we were PREGNANT! Surprise! Sage Ashlyn was born January 25, 2010. We almost didn't make to to the hospital before she made her appearance! It wasn't quite as fast as her sister Lily(3 hours), but she was born in just about 4.5 hours and about 15-20 minutes after we got to the hospital!

She is almost 5 months now, growing and learning so much!

Over the past year we have also moved yet again! We are now living in Hinesville, GA and stationed at Ft. Stewart. It's nice here. Hot. Humid. Buggy. But it's not bad! We love being close to the beach, and there is a lot to do if we just travel a bit.

Of course Ft. Stewart means deployment though. :( In the coming weeks Bob will be deploying. It's going to be hard, but we will get through it! He is TDY right now, and he gets back on Saturday!

I've been sewing more, and knitting more, so I'm sure I'll have stuff to share. I've been trying to sell more from my Etsy store and at the local farmer's market, but I've been thinking of closing the "business" forever to pursue other passions. I have been and continue to go to college to become a history teacher, and I've also decided that I'd like to become a birth doula. I am so passionate about birth and the choices/options women have, but I can't have babies forever. I would like to support other women and experience birth as a doula.

So, I guess that is all for now. I WILL keep this up this time! I promise. At least I will try..... :)
