Toxins causing weight gain?!?

Did you know that research has shown that a big reason why men and women gain weight is due to toxic build up?? I had NO idea! Don't get me wrong, I still think the best way to stay healthy is to eat right and exercise, but it could also be a good idea to rid some of the toxins out of our bodies as well. It was a very interesting article that I read and a completely new concept to me. Detoxifying supplements like Orovo detox are very popular among people right now. I am definitely going to have to read up on this further.

Kaelyn's fun day!

This Friday should be a fun day for Kaelyn. She'll start out the day at my parents house while I am at the dentist. She loves hanging out there...Grammy and Grampa have so many fun things for her to do. :) I think my dad may get off work a little early so it will be fun for her to see him too. Then, that night Scott is going to take me to a movie, so Kaelyn will be watched by his mom! She'll have a great time, I just know it. It's nice that we have so much family around to watch her if we need.

Staying Healthy

I often wish that there was a diet pill out there that was completely safe to use and all natural. Although some claim to be these things...I can't help but think that they are probably not the best choice. It's not always fun, but unfortunately healthy eating and exercise are probably the best way to lose weight and stay healthy. There are conflicting opinions about this topic out there, but in my opinion that's the best.

eBay Drama

Do you ever use eBay?? We do every once in a while, and thankfully we typically we do not have any problems. It's too bad that there are a few people out there though that really do ruin it for everyone. This week we've had two bad experiences. The first is an item we ordered for my mom. It was ordered over two weeks ago and the person was contacted twice. They finally got back with us and were very rude in their comments. The second instance was something we were selling. Two days after having one it, and one day after having paid it...the guy puts a hold on the payment until I prove that it has been shipped. Duh! Obviously people do not think...not only am I not going to ship it out with a hold on the payment...but why would he think it would even be shipped out one day after having been paid. It's a bit frustrating!

Convenience of Shopping Online

There are certain thing which I'm sure people would rather just buy from the comfort of their own home. Whether that be creams for vaginal dryness...or even clothing...sometimes it's just easier to stay at home and do the ordering than run out and buy them. The Web has definitely become a shopping option for me these days. Being a stay at home mom I don't have much time to get out and go shopping. I find it's much easier to do most of my shopping right online. I know some people would argue that it's costing more in shipping to shop like this, however gas is expensive these days too...so either way you look at it, it's probably not going to make that big of a difference.

Dr Appt.

In a couple of weeks we get to take Kaelyn to her 15 month appointment. I always look forward to these appointments, as we get to see how much she's grown. She did get the flu at the end of December, but aside from that she's been eating like crazy...I'm sure she's gained quite a bit of weight in past few months and has grown taller as well. I love hearing how much she's grown as well as hearing the developmental stages she is going through. All of it is so much fun!

Maternity Tees

When I was pregnant we decided not to find out what were having. However, I know that there are many people who do. For those who do find out, I'm sure they want to find creative ways of announcing the sex of the baby. I know I would. One great way to do this is by wearing a maternity tee that says the baby's gender. T-shirts like this would also be great to wear to a baby shower as well. I took a look at the Baby ParTees and they are extremely cute!! Not only are they made of high quality cotton, but the writing on them is in crystals...not rhinestones. It's perfect for any one who is pregnant and knows what they are having. BabyParTees is a product line of Wedding ParTees.

If you'd like to learn more about these Baby ParTees Maternity Shirts, head over to their site and check it out for yoruself. You won't be sorry you did!! They offer a very user friendly site where it's easy to navigate and find whatever it is you're looking for. Whether it's a gift for someone who is expecting, or a gift for yourself....I would recommend checking out this site and their products first.

Supper

I was trying to think of what we could have for supper tonight, when it suddenly hit me that Scott's mom will probably be coming. She typically comes to visit on Wednesday nights and brings us supper. It's always nice to see her and Kaelyn loves it too. I guess that means that the supper I had decided to make will be put on hold until tomorrow. That's alright though...Subway is always good once in a while! :)
