Fall may finally be here..

I love fall. I love the cool days, the smell of autumn and the crunch of the leaves under your feet. I also LOVE halloween, though it does have its challenges with food allergies in the picture. We have figured out a system of having 2 pumpkins and just trading out one with the other when we get home. This should work for a few years until he realizes that Snickers bar is not in there anymore.
Jack when he was 2 yrs old
Last year I was on bed rest on Halloween and I HATED IT! I hate missing out on any of what I consider to be memory moments. But it was just one Halloween and I did enjoy myself watching the Ghost Hunters Live show:)
This year I am hoping to have a family theme, dogs included,I am thinking bees. Of course that would make me the Queen bee but that's just a given. Also if my husband refuses to dress up as I am guessing he will, I can just put a sign on his back that say W.A.S.P.
Not only do I love Halloween but I love that it is the countdown to Christmas, my FAVORITE of all favorites!  Ella birthday will be on Thanksgiving which is so exciting too, a turkey and a birthday cake, you can't beat that! Then is non stop Christmas music on KOSI 101 until New Years!! I am by far the happiest person on earth when I am listening to Christmas music, how can you not be?
Ok well Ella has just pulled all the newspaper out of the recycling and Jack has pulled all the pots and pans out of the cabinet, better step in...

And so it begins...

Look at this face, he really is the cutest boy ever! He is just having a few issues adapting to this world. I dont want to break him, I want to help him, isnt that my job?? Things aren't easy for me, some things are but most things are a struggle.
But both Jack and I we will find balance...one day..until then we will keep getting back up.
I love you Jack...

I like my new phone

I got my new phone today and it was long overdue. My old phone was hanging up on people and falling apart. When they arrived I was disappointed because mine did not have a key pad. I opted for the free phone thinking my hubby was going the same route. Well I opened the box and saw two different phones, one of which had a key pad! Bastard! I am not a fan, well I wasn't with my old phone at least , of the touch screen phones. And my new one was, well is, a touch screen phone and there was my hubbys new phone mocking me with its slide down keypad.
So I pitched a mini fit, I tend to do that sometimes. The man NEVER texts and doesn't have to check his email all the time because he is at work all the time in front of, you guessed it HIS COMPUTER!
Well I got him to agree with me to trade, I attempted to call verizon to switch my number to the keypad phone and then gave up. I figured I would give it a go for a few days then decide.
Well wouldn't you know it, it freakin rocks! I can listen to music on it, I am currently listening to the radio on it! But getting rudely interrupted by phone calls from my hubby, who is sitting on the couch downstairs. Why is he calling you ask?? HE WANTS THIS PHONE NOW!! AHHHHhhahahhah!
Its mine and I love it, I even texted him and told him so:)
Last night was a blast..one giveaway turned into two...fun stuff! Congrats to Lulu the dog and Randi for their big wins!
SO lets push for 400 fans and giveaway some more goodies..I have some more bottles, some funky dolls, cute hair clips and who knows what else...
Peace!

Giveaways are fun!

Well I did my first giveaway on facebook this afternoon with the help of http://www.diaperdaisy.com/ and http://www.niftynappy.com/ ! Thanks ladies! I plan on doing one giveaway a day at the very least!  My husband will be away on business a few nights this week so hopefully the kiddos will take it easy on me but I am not betting on it.
Tomorrows giveaway is gonna be sponsored by Hip Violet. She is a super crafty mom that appliques bibs, shirts and even mobys! Mine was pimped out with three cute dinosaurs, two babies and one momma. She will be giving us a neutral appliqued bib. One of her bibs was shown on Jessica Albas daughter on Ellen last spring, so that tells you how "HIP" she is.
So stay tuned ladies and gents, cause I have my eye on some pretty fantastic fluff!
Now off to watch mall rats with my hubby.
What I learned today...Always put a diaper on or at least under the baby when she is playing with her blocks. Another thing I learned today...Toby, my dog, can get poop out of the carpet better than the little green machine:)

Yup I'm bloggin now!

Well I knew it was only a matter of time before I had a blog, facebook, twitter, texting and gmail aren't enough of an outlet for my chatty cathy ways:)
Well perhaps I should introduce myself if you are new to the blog...My name is Jessica, I live in Colorado with my amazing family, Patrick, my hunk of a hubby, Jackson, my funny little man, Ella, my little bundle of happiness, Reggie, my first born (furry) son and Toby our new cat/dog hybrid.
I am originally from New Jersey and if you ask me what exit I will punch square in the nose. I am light years away from the person I was when I lived there in some ways and in others I am exactly the same. I am a breastfeeding, co sleeping, cloth diapering, composting, urban gardening (well 1 tomato plant) meal cooking domestic goddess. Along with my many mommy and wifey duties I am also a sales rep for some wonderful lines and a group fitness instructor for a mommy and me stroller class.
So strap yourself in and get ready for funny stories, cute pics and the best of all GIVEAWAYS!!
