Religion in my life up to now

I have been taking adult instruction classes through Oak Park Lutheran church in rural Oklee. I have decided that I would like to become a memeber of the church. Growing up my family did not attend church as I wish we did. We were considered Catholic but never attended church every sunday. Once I started my family with Eric and our three children I said to myself I would really like to become a member of a church and have a better relationship with God  for myself and to teach this to my children. I have gone to Oak Park when I have been able to attend worship on sunday. I have gotten to meet members of the church and I have felt like this is a church that I feel comfortable going to and being an active member in. Everyone is so welcoming and  friendly. It sure was something to get use to for my two old boys Jared and Justin they have never been to church as their father never wanted to attend church. I decided that I would volunteer for this years Vacation Bible School to help out with the crafts as I dont feel I am knowledged (if thats a word) to teach the children the word of god. I planned craftd for the kids to do in a fast couple of days. I hve never taught or helped out at a church before so as you could imagine I felt like a kid at a new school on the first day. I am not going to lie I was sweating bullets and nervous. As it would be weird or different for someone who is not use to praying or anything of that sort. I have started this past year reading bible books and stories to the kids an reading out of the Veggie Tale devotions for boys book. I have just started to feel comfortable praying and for after quite sometime I feel comfortable singing the hyms. This has been a wonderful blessing to have gotten to know all 35kids that attended VBS this year. I really look forward to helping out next year and even helping out with other things for our church. ,I remember going to the catholic church I wanted Jared to be baptized in and the priest not flat out but in his own words said we couldnt baptize Jared during the churc service because the child was born out of wedlock and we were not married and the godparents were not church members or even catholic. So that was that Jaredwas never baptized and nither was Justin. I have spoken to Pastor at Oak Park about baptizing the boys as I feel that they need to be baptized. He said whenever we would like to have them baptized we could do it. This has also made me feel welcomed to this church. I know I tend to ramble on and go off subject then go back to the subject ugh I have poor writting/blogging skills probably because I havent written any sort of paper since highschool! Well back to VBS I will share a few pictures!

Angee Pants Cloth Diapers and MORE review

I have gotten the plesure to test out diapers for some WAHM! I have gotten a Angee pants cloth diapers and more one size cloth diaper to test on my daughter Brielle. I have to say when I saw the diaper I was pleased with what I recieved shipping was fast and the diaper looked amazing! The feel of the diaper was soft and I liked how the opening for the insert is similar o Applecheeks this is something I havent see WAHM do I have see the opening for pocket diapers in the front or the back but not in the middle. The pattern of the diaper I got was something that would be considered a gender neutral pattern. The snaps were lined up exact the insert was a very good quality insert. The prices is very reasonable and I didnt have any leaks with this pocket diaper during the day. I did have some leaking at night when I used just one insert I used two microfiber inserts and one hemp insert and that did the trick so it would not leak. I recieved great cusomer service from Angee pant CD and more. She kept everyone in the loop as to when items would be shipped and the process of the orders. Overall  would recommend this diaper to other Cloth diapering moms out there because I was satisfied with this diaper and the customer service. I will  be posting below a price list of items they carry not just diapers. Check them out on face book also here are some links and information about this shop!

Jared 4yrs,Justin 2 1/2yrs, Brielle 6months photos by me!

I have recently got a decent camera to get started on some shots of the kids nothing fancy but something to start out with till I get up to a Nikon or a cannon or a sony! Here are some of the shots I took:

praying for the best

as you all may know Back in Feb was told that had a rare high grade precancer in my cervix. I had my surgery done in March and the healing process went exceptional. Well as a result of the precancer and having to have surgery. it has been three months since my procedure and am due for my papsmear to make sure the precancer come back. it takes about two weeks to results back. so will be pretty nervous. sure hope that  it goes well. I can't lie but I am sure nervous about this. If I was to show that the precancer came back then I'd have to have surgery once again and trust me that was not ok. We take things for granted way too much. We don't sit and think thank you lord for giving me health. But it sure is that things like this should mean more than anyhing in the world!

Button Bumpers

Well I have gotten the pleasure to become a loyal customer of Virgina who is the WAHM behind Button Bumpers. I first purchased two cloth diapers from her through an auction. I was very excited to get to try and support a WAHM! Virginia was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She responded to my questions and emails quickly This was a great first impression for me to hve of her. She not only makes cloth diapers but also makes the following: cloth diapers,cloth wipes,baby legs,kid toolbelts,little girl purses,breast pads,diaper covers for sposies and so many more items. I have boughten cloth diapers,training pants,babylegs,diaper covers,cloth wipes,snack/wipe pouches.  I have to say I have not been disappointed anytime with anything I have recieved.  I absolutely love her diapers! She makes them custom fit or onesize 6months and one size 6+months cloth diapers. Her diapers are AIO,POCKETS, AND  just recently added WRAPS!!! Button bumpers diapers are either made out of blizzard fleece or PUL with and outer of cotton or flannel. Blizard fleece is a less expensive fleece material that does not require the PUL because it keeps the wetness away from baby. I have had my daughter inthese  for as long as 2hours without leaks. Pockets are the ones that you can stuff and are made with the PUL material to avoid leaks these are more expensive but you can stuff them for naptimes or overnight use with hemp and microfiber inserts. Fitted button bumpers diapers are made with 7layers these are perfect for summer time so that baby doesnt get too hot in the flece diapers. If you are looking to help the enviroment and use sandwich bags for snacks sandwiches you should try her reusabl snack pouches these can be washed and reused saves the planet and saves you money! the feel of he diapers are soft and are gently on your babies bum. All diapers are made with velcro and have velcro laundry tabs. Button Bumpers items range from $2.00-20.00 which makes cloth diapering affordable!!!!  I WOULD GIVE BUTTON BUMPERS ON A SCALE OF 1-10 A 10 BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PLEASED WITH WHAT I ORDERED!

The New cloth diapers Duca Duca

I was choosen along with other mom bloggers to review the Duca Duca Cloth Diapers which are new cloth diapers on the market. My first impression of it was this diaper reminds me of a fuzzibunz diaper because of the elastic in the legs that is adjustable. Only thing about the appearance I think could be changed is the logo on the butt of the diaper it is a duck which is cute but the eyes should be white not the red. The fit was nice it has adjustable elastic in the legs to make it larger or smaller. I think Brielle will be able to use the Duca Duca diaper till she approx 32lbs. This is a pocket style diaper so you stuff it with a insert. Th insert is easy to place in and remove. This diaper with a microfiber then a hemp insert is pretty absorbent for night time. I use bumgenius detergent with washing the diapers. I air dry them in the laundry room. Overall this a fairly nice diaper and I would recommend it to other moms who like pockets. I would give it on a scale of 1-10 a six. These arent on the market yet so I am unsure of the actual price of them. I would say this is one of my favorite diapers out of the test diapers I have gotten!I have 5 more cloth diapers to type up some reviews for and cant wait to see how they compare to the Duca Duca cloth diapers!!!!!!

Online Surveyor

I became a Knowledge Panel member and have been doing online surveys for them for about 4months. It gets borrowing at times but its rewarding by every survey is approx $4.00 so 4,000 points once you gfet 25,000 point or $25.00 you can cash out or enter raffles. I have in the 4months that I have been doing surveys online for thm eared $40.00 with this money I use to actually buy some flowers,seeds,red mulch ect to start my lawn scaping adventure. I also do surveys for a compay called synovate they cash out at $50.00 and I have been with them for 2months. This is something that most stay at home moms can do to earn alittle for just filling out surveys. I was actually going to look into being a mystery shopper for companies to rate buisnesses.


so if you want something to do and earn alittle cash slowly I suggest becoming a online surveyor!
