Happy 5 Months Abigail!

Hey you! Now you guys can comment on my blog as a guest or  without having to log in! :)

I can't believe my baby girl is 5 months today. I wish she would stay little forever. =( I'm kind of sad because I wish I could relive her newborn age all over again. Don't get me wrong. I love her growing up so much. But being a mother is the best thing in the world. Especially to her! I can't imagine neglecting her and putting myself first. I don't know how some people can do that. I have been through it with a narcissistic mother and I don't know how "she" can not feel the guilt inside of her everyday. But I know that things happen for a reason. My daughter's here for me and I will not be like "her". I love my daughter to death!

So far her milestones are:

• Yelling in my ear every morning at 8am! (Everyone knows I am NOT a morning person. I always wake up at NOON everyday. Yes call me lazy. But I love her wake up calls then we'll eventually go back to sleep until noon. So its a win-win situation =P)
• Rolling over! I can't believe she's learning to roll over. First it was struggling with tummy time and picking her head up. Now it's rolling! 
• Laughing her heart out! 
• Starting to cling to mommy. I had a friend come over yesterday and the whole time she was holding Abby. She would STARE me down just to make sure I wouldn't go anyway lol!
• Grabbing things more. She's not really an expert at grabbing things with her hand. But loves to kick. Now she's starting to take her toys when I hand it to her
• Teething! She's been teething since 2-3months. She drools her little butt off like crazy!
• Being the BEST baby she can be!

I love watching her grow up. One night, listening to "In my daughters eyes" by Martina McBride..I had a moment. I went through ALL of her pictures from newborn stage to 5 months old. It brought tears to my eyes. I never knew how much I could love someone so much until now.

In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong an' wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
She was sent to rescue me,
...This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.
I realise what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough;
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up.

Happy 5 Months my sweet baby girl! Mommy loves you so much!

Sunday Funday Couponing Trip! Spent: $3.09 Saved: $23.67!! & Lots of Updates on Abby!

Happy Sunday! It's been a while! I haven't been in the mood to post. I also missed posting my couponing trips last Sunday. But today was great. I went with Nancy and we did some major damage. I think I did pretty awesome! She did too! I didn't see much of anything I wanted this week but I had to burn my register rewards at Walgreens. So decided to get the Huggies Diapers Slip-Ons. I think it will be great when Abby starts to crawl, etc.

Here is my trip from Today:

TOTAL OOP (out of pocket): $3.09. Total SAVED: $23.67!! & I left with $3.50 in RR's for Walgreens; and $2 ECBS for CVS for next time! I also have my $10ECBS from my last weeks deal at CVS! 

I bought a pack of 216 ct Huggies Wipes (My fav.), Huggies Slip-Ons, Carmex Lip Balm, St Josephs Aspirin, and Always Liners (CVS Coupon Machine spit out one for FREE!), and 2 pocket prong folders as fillers.

I loved Today! I also went to Kroger and used my FREE Kroger coupons a friend gave to me because she doesn't use it. So I got a 24pack of water, 1lb of bacon, 1bag of Ruffles Chips, 1 Digornio for 1 all for FREE! I saved $15 bucks that trip!
I am loving this week! Here is last weeks trip!

Last Sunday's Trip...was AWESOME! I spent $7 OOP for ALL OF THIS! Including the Bounty Paper Towels, 4 Puffs boxes, Drinks, cereal, cans, peanuts, prunes, chips, 2 toothbrushes, and Palmolive! I left with a $10 dollar gas card AND $10 Extra Care bucks for next use! SO exciting! I built a great ECB pile so I was able to use it. My total before coupons was $70 bucks and total after coupons $35 bucks then after ECBS it came down to $7 bucks! The cashier told me GREAT JOB!

I usually run into bad cashiers sometimes but lately..doing my trips..I've been getting COMPLIMENTS from them. Today at Kroger's the cashier told me "Not bad, good job!". LOL!

Anyway, there has been LOTS going on with Abigail. Her eczema has been a huge pain for me and her. I feel so bad. I hate having her scratch, itch, and get frustrated. I have spent hundreds of dollars on so many great creams, natural creams, etc. The only thing that works is putting 3 types of creams/ointments and lotions on her. So our routine is 3 creams about 2 times a day. I cant bathe her in anything which sucks but I think I remember that bathing her in Johnson and Johnson Natural Wash did not make her break out. So I might resort back to that. I've tried so many creams. A couple of days ago I spent 30 bucks on a wash and Eucerin cream. And it did NOT work. I've heard great things about Coconut Oil so I had to order that and hope it works. I stopped solids, resorted to bathing her every 2-3 days and I just hate it. I wish I could find a solution.

On a brighter note, Abby CAN NOW ROLL OVER! I put her in her Pack and Play and noticed her always trying to lean to her side. She rolled then rolled back in place and kept rolling back to tummy. After about 5 minutes I decided it wasn't a FLUKE and wanted to record it. She slowed down! Typical! Whenever I try to get a picture she stops doing it lol! But I did get a couple!

This video was from yesterday. Sorry its NOT viewable at all due to the dark nature of it lol. I just HAD to get it because she was laughing/giggling so hard when her daddy was messing with her!

Here are recent pictures of Abby :)

Her looking a mess! Abby has on her HazelWood Necklace I ordered from Eco Baby Buys  per the suggestion from Nancy! I'm hoping it works. The first day her redness from her Eczema calmed down a bit so I'm hoping it helps more and more each day!

After I fixed her back up. Her eczema was under control yesterday but today it's dry and red. This is a LONG battle.

Last night before bed. Sorry for my child's monster hair. I couldn't find her brush! LOL!

I found a GREAT solution to stop her from scratching the sides of her legs. She loves to do that! My S/O and I HATED putting pants on her because it was a PITA to get off when changing diapers. Well I had mommy brain for a couple of weeks I guess...I have a BUNCH of Baby Leg's AND Leg Warmers (Same as Baby Legs just generic version from Target). DUH! I can just put it on her and diaper changes are THAT much easier. I have 6 pairs so I don't know why I didn't use it. I guess because its so HOT here in Texas and anything with layers right now isn't my favorite.
I haven't updated for a while so sorry if my blog is a bit long. I need to update often. I love it!

Tonight for dinner..I'm cooking Lasagna! It's currently in the oven right now. What's for dinner tonight for any of you guys? I would love new suggestions/recipes.

Playdate & Coupon Binder = FUN!

Yesterday, Abigail and Mommy had a fun play date with Arianna and her Aunt Nancy (thechrancyfamily - go to her blog spot!). We very much enjoyed it and can't wait to do it again! It was their first time meeting and they seemed to love each others company.

Here a couple of pictures. I stole some from you if you don't mind Nance!

Love at first site!

She is fascinated with Abby's hairbow! Lol

Pose for the camera!

Another strike a pose picture!

"Ahhhh Choo!" & then she smiles! LOL! So cute!

 

 

I'm so glad they had so much fun and we did too. I think they can do some damage when Abby gets more mobile like Arianna is! Yikes! LOL!

Here are a couple more different recent pictures:

At the park..on the swing for the first time. She got a bath that day don't worry LOL

Smiling for momma!

I bought her Baby Mum Mum's and was skeptical she wouldn't like it. WEll, she LOVED it and ate all of it!! I was surprised!!

I cant believe my baby is growing up too fast. Soon she'll be able to sit up, crawl, stand, walk, and then it'll be her 1st Birthday! I'm going to cuddle with her as much as I can while she's still little.

Anyway, I caved in and decided to do a coupon binder. I had a binder sitting in the back but I really love my folder method but decided why not try it. Well I need more baseball card holders and I am exhausted from trying to fit the big coupons in the freakin' slots! Ugh! Now I want to shoot myself for doing this but I think I'll be happy with the end results. I need a bigger binder though. I have a 1" right now. Maybe 2" would do fine. Here is my almost complete coupon binder!

 

I am like 75% done with my binder. I still need to finish up putting the rest of my coupons in the slots but I don't think I'll have enough AND I think I may need another binder. Ehh! It also makes it heavier in my tote bag and more noticable! LOL! Even though I shouldn't and dont care but my folder method was lighter, easier, and less noticable. BUT harder to find things and I had to like lick my finger every 2 seconds to flip through small coupons stuck together. So Im hoping this makes a huge impression on me and I'll keep it for good. I'm going to test it out when I go couponing on Sunday with Nancy! I cant wait!!

Happy Friday everyone!! Abigail's asleep and Momma's having some wine. Waiting for her crock pot dinner to finish up. (Thanks Nance for your crock pot suggestion!) And we're making it a movie night!

Sunday Trip

I try to make my trips on Sunday while everyone is still asleep. It's kind of hard to do it on the weekdays. Well this week it is. I have other plans this whole week so I can't really go to the stores. Sometimes it's hard going with Abigail so I try to leave her with her daddy. I went today and tried to go early because I know the "crazy couponers" usually go around 10am-11am. I swear it's so crazy. I mean I love couponing but I am NOT an extreme couponer. I get deals for stuff I use. Sometimes, people get them just because its free or cheap. I hate that. They clear shelves. I only need 1 or 2 for my family! Maybe 4 MAX! I mean geezus. Anyway, I went to buy water since we go through those like crazy and toliet paper and paper towels. I swear I go through paper towels like NOTHING! I hate it because it costs so much. I kind of messed up on my trip because I could've saved $10 bucks and I'm trying my best not to get mad about it because you win some and you lose some. Anyway, it was still an awesome trip! Here's my trip. :-)

Spent $23.75 OOP Saved $58.70!! Left with 4 CVS ECBS and 3 Walgreens RR's AND left with a $10 gas card!!! So its like I spent $6.75 on everything!! Not too bad!!
4 Packs of Nestle Water
1 Scott Paper Towels
1 Scott Toliet Paper
2 Cottonelle Wipes
5 Fuze's
1 Free Bottle of CVS body wash
2 Healthy Choice Meals
1 Trash Can
2 Toliet Cleaner Solution (I have tried everything, even expensive toliet cleaner and it's funny the CHEAP one works best.)
1 Carefree Panty Liner (FREE)
1 CVS Bandaids (FREE)
2 G-Fit Post Workout Drinks
2 Teryiaki Beef Jerky Bags
1 box Pampers Baby Dry
1 Mango Scented Revlon Nail Polish
1 3pack bath sponges
1 Hersey's Caramello candy bar
2 Wine Glasses (for my wine tonight lol)

I swear I'm NOT a hoarder! It looks like it! But no it's stuff we needed. Okay, maybe I hoard diapers and wipes. And I guess water on here but still! LOL! I spent a bit high OOP this week and last week. Ehh, not my best but I saved over 50%! Some savings is always better than none anyway. For instance I went grocery shopping yesterday. Spent $93 bucks and saved $39. I'm not good at the grocery game yet. But it's pretty hard. Because the coupons that come out are nothing but junk food. I only buy meats, maybe sides, and veggies, fruits. Stuff that's not junk. I'll buy junk but try not to. I only buy it for my S/O because he drives for a living and he has to have snacks in his car or he'll spend it on fast food and sodas. Yuck! Or expensive restaurant food. LOL I'm cheap so I usually get mad. Poor S/O!

Today's just another relaxing day. Sunday's are always relaxing. =)

Family

Today I thought about my very own little family. I am so blessed to have my daughter Abigail and significant other. He has been the best person and best daddy someone can have. I know people make many judgements because of how a person was in the past. But the past is the past and that was high school crap. You wouldn't believe how my S/O is now. He is amazing. He works hard everyday for our family. He loves my daughter and I unconditionally. He sacrifices so much for us. What person would do that if they were selfish? Abby and I are so lucky to have him as a dad/husband/person. Sometimes I feel so bad that he has to work so much but he does it to be selfless. He doesn't care about all the material things in life. No IPad, IPod, Sunglasses, gun, car, motorcycle, or anything in of that sort is needed for him. Yes, those are nice things in life you can absolutely have. But do you actually NEED it?

I am very blessed and have been blessed my whole life. I have everything that I want. But the only thing I lacked was love from my own family. Growing up with no father was pretty hard for me. Especially since he was my best friend. My mom raised me the hard and independent way. No holding my hand, no emotions, nothing. I use to despise her for that. But my S/O taught me so much in life. No matter what I still love my mom and she tries the best she can. No matter how bad I feel for the things she's DONE to me. That was the past and she loves me but sometimes people show it in different ways. I sometimes thank her for giving me that "tough love". Because if it wasn't for that, I would sit here and rely on her for EVERYTHING.

I do everything on my own. Everything I have, it was from hard work and dedication. Everyday I live, I live it on my own. I don't depend on mommy or daddy. But I would love that emotional support. I tend to push people like friends, family, etc. away from my life because of my fear of being hurt. Being used, being abused emotionally, and just everything that comes with having a relationship with someone. I hate depending on people and hate relying on them or thinking that I need them. I like doing things on my own. That tough love, if that's what you want to call it, is what my mother gave me and that's what helped me be independent and strong on my own. That's what helped me raise my daughter on my own, be on my own, and rely on VERY little help from my family and mother. It sounds harsh but I use to ask myself why. Why is it that every other mom can hold their daughters hand through every little thing. But my mom made me walk on my own, in a strong and independent way. I thank her for that.

Do I agree with her choices? No. Would I raise my daughter with that "tough love" mentality? No. I will raise my daughter the way I choose. To show love, to show that she can be independent BUT with support from us. Will I let her throw her kids, problems, and things at me when she gets into a dilemma? NO. Will I buy her the things she needs just because she can't afford it because she spends her own money on things she WANTS? No. I want my daughter to realize that there is a huge difference between having support and being supported. For instance, if she CHOSE to have sex and chose to have a child. I will be there for her no matter what. But don't expect me to baby sit your child just because you want to go a concert or go party every weekend. That's just my opinion. In no way, shape, form, or fashion am I pointing fingers at anyone. Just an observation. Just a thought.

Anyway, I love my daughter to death. I love my significant other to death. I am so blessed. And although I have been hurt in the past. I am glad that it made me stronger and made me the independent person I am today. I'm glad I don't have to be like my own mother towards my daughter. Or at least I will try MY DAMN BEST I can to not be that way.

The moral of the story is. You can have EVERYTHING in life...but if you don't have love then you have NOTHING. I try to make the best of everything in life. I don't care about having the BEST things in life. Who cares? Those come and go. Why does it matter if you have an MacBook? Why? Why does it matter if you have an IPad? Sure I can get those things ANY DAY of the week. I am blessed enough to even be able to go get one. But life is MUCH MUCH more simpler than that. It really is. Coming from me. I have all that I want in life. A lot of things I am so blessed with that others don't have. I would never ever take it for granted. But I'd trade all of this in ..in a heartbeat to get my father back and the family time I had with him and the rest of the ones I love. True Story.

Stockpile Brag!

So I've couponed before I was pregnant but I wasn't as into it as I was throughout my pregnancy and now. Its been over a year...almost about a year and a half since I've been couponing "hardcore". I've built a great stockpile and I'm still building up on it. It's so exciting. I can't believe I'm excited about building a stockpile rather than shopping for clothes, makeup, shoes, etc. LOL But its fun and it is LOTS of work. I spend hours and hours finding deals, stores, and coupons. Loves it.
Here's my stockpile. Its pretty messy right now because I haven't figured out a great way to organize all my stuff yet. So please excuse the messiness.

 Diaper Stockpile =) It's clearly not enough for me. I think I have a diaper and wipes buying problem.

My wipes stockpile below...that definitely not enough for me. I would like to get some more wipes. But it will do. =)

 

 Sorry, its a bit messy. I just put everything on top of each other. I have to figure out another method. The closet is clearly getting full so now I need a bigger one. I have to relocate my stockpile. Lol You can't really see it but on top I have my deodorants. Their all behind each other so it doesn't look like much but it IS lol

I try to put stuff in order by category but since room is running out I have to stack them on top of each other. These are some mouthwashes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Band aids, neosporin, etc.

 

 YES I have a random marker in there. I have to move that to my supply closet stockpile. I didn't take a picture of that yet though. But I do have quite a few pens, pencils, paper clips, thumb tacks. This section is mixed with my Q tips shampoo, mouthwash again, hair color, hair ties, floss, etc.

Another view of it.

The last two end caps again. The top shelf is my toothpastes, smell goods, tooth brushes, body washes again, in the green box is lip balms I put in there, I have plenty more things but again its all messy!

These are in my RR as of right now since we use them and might be too lazy to go get it. Its nothing special but my 2 packs of bar soaps, pads, toliet paper, wipes, air freshner. 

I also have 8 Dish Washing Liquid Soap which I put under my kitchen sink. A bunch of school supplies like 5 packs of 10ct pens, 200 thumb tacks, 800 paper clips, and a bunch of other stuff. I also have a huge stockpile of food in my food pantry. Supplies and food will be in another post. Kind of lazy to take a picture right now. LOL I am so proud of it!! I worked hard to do this.

What's for dinner tonight?

Today I am making Beef Stew over Mash Potatoes! Yummy! Yesterday I had a couple of friends over and she brought her daughter. I made a huge rotisserie chicken, some broccoli and cheese, and fresh mash potatoes. Yum! Today I am making this because I have some beef broth leftover from the freezer when I boiled some steak bones and the leftover juices are so yummy! I've been trying to incorporate leftovers, freeze them and remake them into something better. Sometimes I get a successful dinner, other times I wonder what I was thinking. I am so exhausted so I do love to just put my meat over the stove and just let it cook for hours until the bone falls off. YUM!

I just put Abigail down for her second nap of the day and I am so tired. I might lay it down for a bit.

What's for dinner tonight for everybody?! Please do tell me! And any favorite recipes to share? I need some new ideas!

Sunday Funday!

So Abby's eczema and heat rash cleared up tremendously. I am so excited. My babies normal again! I put hydrocortizone on her body lightly and lather her with Aquaphor after her baths. I also bathe her in Aquaphor baby wash. She has such sensitive skin.

Anyway, this is such a relaxing weekend.Yesterday Abby, Daddy, and I went to Borders in The Woodlands, TX. I am so in love with The Woodlands. I plan to move there in the near future. Hopefully. Lol. All Borders are closing down so everything was 25% to 50% percent off. Not too bad. But Im pretty sure it will be 75% off soon. I bought my Secret Sister something for her LO and a TON of books for Abby and some kids for Christmas. I'm excited. I have Abby's X-mas gifts already stocked up! LOL! My S/O bought himself 2 books to read. I didn't find any because I was too busy worrying about children's book! Haha! I spent $35 bucks on $150 dollars worth of books (retail price). I bought a huge one that played music and popped up. I love reading to her. I also bought books that had long stories in them. There was one that had nursery rhymes and classics it was about 8 books in the package for $2bucks!! So exciting!

This morning, I went on my rounds. I usually do my bargain shopping rounds early Sunday morning. It's a LOT easier. I use to do it at random times like weekdays and stuff but it was just too much and stressful and things were always cleared from the shelves. So Sunday morning's are great. I am so excited about my brag too!

OOP: $17.73 Saved: $91.03!! AND left with 8 Extra Care Bucks from CVS and $2 Register Rewards from Walgreens for next time! I've become a pro at it since I've done it my whole 9 months of pregnancy!

That's great considering I bought 4 packages of Huggies Wipes (My favorite wipes!), 2 packs of diapers (CVS had a clearance on their diapers I wanted to try one out), and other stuff!

- 1 Pampers Jumbo Pack

- 1 CVS Diapers Jumbo Pack
- 1 Box of QTips from the baby aisle. I couldn't help it. It was on closeout like 75% off and I had a coupon! LOL

- 4 Packs of Huggies Wipes (216 CT each)

- 5 Similac Sensitive Concentrate Cans (Used my Formula Checks!)

-1 News Paper

- 1 Bleach for the drainage so I bought cheap bleach

- 2 Dove Unscented Bar Soap Packs (We use this up like crazy!)

- 1 Dove Mens Body Wash (DH wont use anything unless it says MENS body wash on it lol)

- 1 Listerine Smart Rinse (My BFF loves using this. She's a Dental Assistant and says she likes to see what she spits out like food wise lol)

- 1 Glade Scent Thing (FOR DH)

- 3 Highlighters as a filler at Walgreens (Great since DH and I are gonna start school in a couple of weeks)

I'm so excited! I bragged about it for an hour to DH. He said I was crazy LOL!

Anyway, I can't stop taking pictures of Abby! :-) Here are a couple! And some pics of my Kalorik Baby Food Processor blending her baby food for freezing!

 Steaming the Peaches first!

 Then pureeing the peaches!

 

THEN, mushing up some Avocado to freeze up and let her try later!

 Happy Sunday everyone! Just woke up!

 Last Night after a bath before bedtime!

 Being a DIVA on our way to Borders

 She loves to eat her two fingers LOL!

 And her Sophie!

Eating fingers again!

Books

I've bought a total of 4 or 5 books at Barnes and Nobles this weekend for Abigail! I can't wait to read it to her. I'm really starting to stock up on her Christmas gifts. Well not much. I know she's not going to be old enough to care about ALL those toys and stuff she's going to get. So DF and I agreed that we would give her books and DVDS (Baby Einstein to be exact! LOL) to educate her rather than buy her the million, thousands of toys we already get her. I currently read her Vtech Rhyme and Discover book to her and she LOVES how it lights up and how colorful it is.

I also read these free books Chick-Fil-La offers when you buy kids meals. Yes I buy kids meals! LOL Now I have some more books to read to her usually during bed time...after her night time baths. I have her Cloud B Lady Bug and Vtech Laptop currently hiding in the closet for Christmas right now. Also, I will probably hold off on 3 books and put that under the tree. I get it as I find a great sale and I think it would pay off BIG TIME! Lol

4 Month Stats

Abigail had her 4 Month appointment today. It was bittersweet for mommy. Her 2 Month shots didn't go so well. She had a low grade fever, and cried for hours. My poor baby. This time..she took it pretty well. She's fast asleep right now. =)

Abby is currently 11.6lbs and 23 inches long. What a teeny tiny shortie! But then again she was 3 weeks early. Her pedi said she was in the normal range in the growth chart. So I'm fine with that. My baby is such a trooper! I love her <3 She's starting to jump in her Jumperoo more even though its still a bit big for her. She loves standing up! Loves loves loves it! She's been trying to lift her head up to sit up lately. It's so obvious. I mean I thought at first it was nothing but her picking her head up while laying down just so she can wiggle around. But she literally wants to SIT UP. She fusses when we don't stand her up. LOL! It's so cute. Then when we do stand her up..she's smiling and cooing/drooling away!

Here are a couple of recent pictures:

 

She loves being in it! 

 Taking a stroll around the park with mommy and daddy!

 Daddy, Abby, and Dash (we're missing Prada =( )

 

Mommy, Abby smiling at mommy, and Daddy

 Lazy Bumbo Sitter! LOL

 Ready to go have some fun in the sun with mommy and daddy! (Well at the mall! LOL)

 

I had to show this off again! I love love love her diaper cake! My BFF made it for me and I refuse to take it apart. It has Size 2 Diapers so maybe I will when shes in 2's. It also has Dr Brown's glass bottles and wash cloths and I forgot what else but I love CHEETAH PRINT!! And my cheetah print doggy! <3

 Taken today! On her way to her 4 Month Appointment! Sorry for the messy hair LOL!

 Relaxing at home with mommy! Trying out my new shades!

 Had to brag about my mail day last week on Friday! My tank came in, my free phone case which BTW fits my phone perfectly! (29.99 Value!), My free Herbal Essence Q, a sample with a Q, My Macys Q's along with a Staples Q!

 Sitting up like a big girl! Yes I have bumpers! Sue me! =P

 

Only way she takes a nap in her crib. Mobile on, Girafee Sleep Sheep thingy on, and Video Camera on full force! (I will NOT have those in there like that when shes A LOT more mobile lol! We will eventually install the camera on the wall)

 

Trying her Munchkin Mesh Feeder..I put banana's in there..then read on my birth board that is a NO NO! Because it doesn't clean out as good. But she loved it. =) 

 Abby looking funny! Eating prunes!

 Trying on her NB size clothes for the last time before I put it away =( (Yes her face looks reddish, she had this terrible rash that the pedi said was eczema)

 Its Moooooooonday!

 

Yesterdays GREAT mail day! Free Parents Choice Formula (We don't use it but we are going to donate the formula's I have to the Church), My Avon order for under $5 bucks! Consists of liquid eyeshadow, and 4 lip balms, Free Aussie Q, Free Pantene Q, Shout Stain Sample and $.55offQ, Target Q for Similac and Zone Bars!!

 Wonderful Adventures of Abigail Skye!

Hi and Bye everyone!!

Sorry for some bad pics quality. I have a sucky camera phone. I recently downgraded and got rid of my BB! Personal choice and decision! Best ever! DF and I say we're getting old obviously since we're saying we don't need smart phones anymore. OMG! LOL

Now that solids are in full effect...I have recently bought a Kalorik Baby Food Processor. I love it! Its a 5 in 1! It steams, chops, processes, sterilizes pacifiers and whatever else it says. I made zucchini in there for her. Yes odd! But she seems to like it.

It works pretty good besides the fact that I had mommy brain and left the spatula in there and processed her carrots. Boo! I then had to throw all of it away and clean it good. Damn it! LOL!
