Oysters

I was a little leery the first time I tried Gulf oysters! My mom has never been a big fan of them, she told me how much she disliked them...so that didn't make me look forward to it very much. I'm the type of person though who enjoys trying new things, so one day I just did it!! They actually were much better than what I had expected them to be. They are very hard to explain...though they do have a different texture. I really enjoyed eating them and look forward to eating them again soon! Yum!!

One thing that people need to know though, is that it's SO important not to eat raw oysters, especially if you are not of good health. It can be very dangerous and even life threatening at times. The good thing is that there's an alternative way to prepare oysters so that those even with poor health can still consume them raw. This is called the three post harvest processes. These processes include individually freezing the oysters, low heat pasteurization or heat-cool pasteurization, and high pressurization.

So Good

Kaelyn has been such a good baby for us. She's napping during the day and sleeps all the through the night. We feel very blessed to have such a good little girl. She's such a content baby....just happy playing with her toys, in her jumper...things like that! She'll even sit on your lap for long lengths of time. It's so fun to wake up each day to see what new things she will do. She recently began leaning forward when she's on her back like she wants to sit up....I'm sure that time will be here before we know it!

Another Fun Survey

Here's another fun survey from dNeero. I thought it was pretty fun because it was a survey all about me! You try it. It's a lot of fun and you can make money besides!

Finally stopped snowing!

I am thankful that it finally stopped snowing, but it's so windy out now. The snow was light, but there's a lot of it....so now with the wind it's everywhere!! I'm hoping that it calms down a bit and even warms up...I'm tired of this yucky winter weather!! It's times of the year like this when I wish that I lived somewhere warm year round. Oh well...soon spring will be here and then winter will be over and done with until next time.

Fun Surveys With dNeero

I am always on the lookout for new ways to make money. One way that I found is really easy and fun is to fill out surveys. We've all heard of that before, right?! But what about filling out surveys, getting paid for them, then making even more money by putting them on your blog for others to take?! I thought this sounded fun, so here's a survey I recently took about cars. Check it out and take it for yourself...it's fun!!

Pillows Pillows and More Pillows

I have been cleaning around our house, as Spring is getting closer and that is the time of year to really clean!! Many people might find odds and ends while doing serious cleaning, but I have found an overabundance of pillows!! Ever since Scott and I have been married, we have collected so many different pillows. He worked near a store that would give them out for free...I guess you can never have too many pillows, right?! They do come in handy when we have company over to stay, but other than that they kind of take up a lot of room.

Commercial Real Estate

Our city is full of commercial real estate. The town is just screaming for some new businesses to move in. Although we do have a lot to offer, there are still plenty of more things this city could use. For one, we could really use a Target!! We have a walmart, but sometimes a Target is just what a person needs. We also could use a Kohl's....I don't know about many other people, but I would shop here a lot. Hopefully some of these businesses see the potential to building here and get started.

New Camera

At some point Scott and I would love to find a new camera. We like ours a lot, but now that we have Kaelyn, we'd just liked something that allowed us to take better quality pictures. She's always moving around, so many of our pictures are blurry. She also blinks every time there's a flash, because with our camera there's like three flashes before it takes the camera. We need something quick that can capture the moments we want to get on film. Hopefully someday we'll get a better camera.

Naked Naturals

I absolutely LOVE it when I have the opportunity to try new products and let others know what I thought of them. One such product that I recently had the opportunity to try was naked naturals, an all natural shampoo and conditioner. I really enjoy trying products that are relevant to me, and this definitely was. It's funny, because recently I was getting my hair cut and I was talking to my hair person and telling her that I was looking for a product JUST like this! She gave me some options of what I could buy, but I'm going to have to tell her about this one after having tried it! It's wonderful. The moment I used it I could tell a difference in my hair! It's not only a great product because it's all natural, but also because it helps to make hair up to 7 times stronger! I really felt this way just after having used it once. It seems that so many more people are going "natural" in many areas of their life. Whether it be the products they use on their face, hair, etc....this is a product that will grab the attention of many and be loved by many as well!! I really enjoyed being able to try it out and give my honest opinion of it. If you're looking for a natural Awapuhi and Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner, try Naked Naturals today!!

Wiggle Worm

Kaelyn has been such a wiggle worm lately!! It began a couple of weeks ago when we'd walk in her room and find that over night she'd wiggled her way all around her crib. Now, she recently began wiggling down her bouncy seat. There are toys at the bottom that she can reach with her hands unless she moves further down. She figured this out and is now all over the place. When we buckle her in, she kicks with her feet and plays with the toys that way. She's so much fun to watch.
