it's official

the monthly acne is beginning again. I broke out on my chin today - I'm so sad. At least this time my body waited 10 months before getting back to "normal". But it's still sad.

We also moved - I've been crazy busy - and need to go work on the house right now!! We MUST get things in order so that my BRAIN is in order. And really the only time to get anything done is when the little munchkins are ASLEEP!!

So it's off to "work" I go!

Gro Baby Diaper!

GroBaby was first brought to my attention by Jillians Drawers (one of my most favorite diaper sites). My friend Amber just told me about the contest they are having over on facebook. I've been doing cloth diapers for 2 years now and although I'm pretty set in the products I use (BumGenius, Fuzzibuns and my favorite staple the prefold diaper) I am ALWAYS open to trying new products. Especially if it makes my life easier! And that is just what these diapers seem to do - make the diaper changers life easier. I haven't tried them yet - but I would LOVE to! Having a inner shell that you can just change would make my life so much easier!

Check out GroBaby and if I am one of the lucky winners I'll post again about how they work!

life is too short

A gal I went to Simpson College with is dying of cancer. She is in the hospital right now as I write this. She is married and has a 2 year old son. She's one year older than me. I went to Ukraine with Monica in 1996. Her heart for the kids, the love that she showed all of us (I think she co-led the team) and her energy was all an encouragement to me. I got to spend some time with her again in 2000 when I went to Ukraine to visit my friend Valari. We all (Val, Kara & Kostya, Monica & I) took a train down to the port city of Odessa. It was fun.

Please pray for Monica. Here is the "friends" page and the link to their website is: http://solandmonica.com/
