Ever seen a Squirrel from this angle?

I would almost be willing to bet that you've never seen a squirrel from this angle! This guy, yes he, visits us every other day or when he can find water left hanging around on my skylight before it gets too hot!  He's the only animal that's been smart enough to actually come back to hydrate himself!  It's so hot in Texas, I don't blame him.  (I had him as a Wordless Wednesday last week, but I like this close up photo better!) He's EXTREMELY loud when he's clunkin' around up there! check out what else was on my Hahaha!…

How to Expedite an Amazon Refund for Damaged Products

Have you ever ordered detergent from Amazon, and it show up at your door spilling granules all over your porch, and a trail from door to your laundry room?  That's what happened to me this week with my Ecover Ecological Laundry Powder.  I was happy to find the great deal on Ecover at Amazon, but was very disappointed in how and when it arrived! I went to to see what I could do about having this order replaced, and the only option given was to ship the product back for a refund, then reorder.    the last thing I wanted…

Microwave Pork Rinds? Seems odd.

There's something about this product that just seems wrong to me?  I used to eat pork rinds when I was a kid, but being able to microwave them seems a bit odd! I guess people microwave popcorn, and it's the same concept, but this just seems awkward to me.  I'm not sure why! Lowrey's Bacon Curls Microwave Pork Rinds Lowrey's Bacon Curls are available in Original and Hot & Spicy flavors. They’re not only delicious, they’re high in protein, and contain 60% less fat than fried pork rinds. Eat them right from the bag or with your favorite hot sauce,…

Operator Error.. or Pregnancy Brain?

This morning, I stumbled into the kitchen to make coffee.  I've recently started using my coffee maker again, because right now, my french press is just more of a pain than anything. I have this Mr. Coffee 8 cup coffee maker.  I love it, because it's idiot proof, and no hassle - until this morning. I also use this type of reusable coffee filter, because there is absolutely no sense in making a lot of waste or spending extra money just for coffee! (more…)

Have you had a hurricane induced baby? #hurricanebaby #hurricane #birth

I was checking out facebook this morning, and a friend posted a hurricane tracking link for a possible storm that may or may not land in or around Texas. Texas is no stranger to hurricanes, and when Andy and I sat down to figure out estimated due dates for Rosengurtle, we realized one thing - we may finally have a hurricane induced baby. Some say that during a hurricane, the rapid and steep drop in barometric pressure  -or the weight of the atmosphere pushing on the surface of the Earth - can induce labor in women who are at or…

Not-so-Cool Product of the Day | Bababib Baby Feeding Aid

Have you seen this product?  I really can't say that I have anything nice or productive to say about the Bababib feeding aid!    Some of these, I can see needing a little help, but reading a story? In a swing? In the stroller?  hold your baby, and bond, maybe? I can just imagine a lot of choking, air in tummies, laziness, and less and less bond with baby when I think about this Bababib thing. Try using a sling or a baby carrier, or step back from what you're doing for the 10 minutes it takes to feed your…

Would you pull this stunt? Ha! I know I would! | 3am Feedings Video

Check out this hilarious video!  Even though I exclusively breastfeed at night and don't have to worry about the bottles, I can totally appreciate this video for the times that I just didn't want to wake up to do ANYTHING in the middle of the night! I can't actually see Andy doing this, but I'll tell you don't put it past a tired mama to try to pull one over on dear old dad!  I know if I thought it would get me and extra hour or two of sleep, I would DEFINITELY pull this stunt!  Go Dad!
