Okay, I have to share these wonderful things, they have just brought too much happiness into my life. Let me know if you have more suggestions and alternatives!!
1. SCENTSY
Have you guys heard of this? People have parties and sell it, I read about it on a friend's blog. It's like wax cubes that you warm, and it never gets hot, only warm, and it's safe enough that if a kid ate it, they'd be fine, and THE SMELLS ARE UNBELIEVEABLE!! There are SO many to choose from, and they are WONDERFULLY STRONG. (My favorite so far is Fresh Cut Canteloupe). You can reheat the wax several times too. I ordered from someone named Misty, and my order shipped to Las Vegas for $2.50!! Try it out!! (Also, I did NOT purchase an expensive warmer. I use my old electric candle warmer and a glass jar and it works perfectly.) Here's her website.

2. This frozen pizza is as close to restaurant pizza I've ever had. The crust is AMAZING! I love the pepperoni and cheese ones, haven't tried anything else, but I WILL! Not very expensive either.
3. Okay, I really am on a scent kick, but my second favorite smells are Bath and Body Works big summer candles in yummy scents like Clean Linen, Fresh Lemonade, Strawberry Patch, Melon Sorbet...you get the idea. Last forever, smell up the whole house. Love em. (Half off on the website right now.)
4. Xlear (Pronounced "Clear")
EAR INFECTION ALERT!! You mom's that have kids that get ear infections, or if you yourself get sinus infections, you gotta try this. This miracle stuff is WONDROUS! It was created right in Utah, and it's a simple sugar-water substance (xylitol) that prevents bacteria from multiplying and spreading. It's non-habit forming and you can get it at health food stores. I used to be the sinus infection queen, but this stuff has almost elimated them from my life. I use it as often as I can at the FIRST SIGN OF FEELING SICK. I JUST learned (3 ear infections too late) that you can also give it to your babies when they start getting yucky green noses, and it can help stop ear infections as well. GO BUY IT and try it, and let me know, I'm experimenting with it on Kalia.
6. Huggies Wipes
I read this on a blog somewhere, about these wipes being the best, and it's for sure the truth. They are so thick and the texture is quilted, so they grab everything off the little behind so efficiently! I've tried the other kinds like Kirkland, Pampers, Lansinoh...they're pretty good, but I have to use more to get the job done. I think they are almost the same price as Kirkland wipes at Costco. If you've never tried them, I recommend you do. Get unscented if your little one has sensitive skin.
Here's my belly-- it popped out WAY sooner this time, just like they say it does. (Will I be bigger at the end too, or does it slow down somewhere?)
Laurie (Abby's mom) gave Kalia this outfit and I'm so excited that she can finally wear it, it's one of her cutest ones for sure. THANKS LAURIE!
Family Father's Day party for Grandpa Don Esplin, Sat. June 14th. She laughed outloud on the swings, I loved it.
And here Kalia gets some one-on-one time with her Great Grandma Ruth, the one she gets her middle name from. (With 35 grandkids, and 35+ great-grandkids, I think it's amazing that she still finds time for her.)
And here's me and Tara, showing a little of our pregnant bellies, and a little hint of cleavage too. Last time I was pregnant at the same time as Krystal, and it's fun to be pregnant at the same time as Tara. Family is great!
but apparently the codes had been used too many times. You COULD, however, print it off and use it at the store.
I'd always heard about how you spend your money on kids shopping instead of self-shopping, once you have kids. I didn't think I'd be that way, I love to buy myself clothes WAY too much. But today I realized I'm just like all the rest. It was an easy transition. And shopping is just as fun as ever (more fun really, cause you don't have to try stuff on.)
And here's all six grandkids, L-R, Maddux and Malakai (Tara's) Kyla, Allie, Damon (Krystal's) and Kalia. My mom loves having her grandkids around, and she thinks it makes chemotherapy easier. (She is half done with chemo by the way. Yay! What a trooper!)
We three sisters took our kids to the Splash Park on Main Street in St. George. What an awesome place! It was PACKED with kids and young moms and dads, and it's pretty safe.
