veronica turns 4!!!

i can not believe it...veronica turned 4!!! after 2 and a half years of trying for our second baby she turned four on easter. it is so hard to believe, it seems like yesterday i was getting ready for bed and went into the bathroom and sat on the toilet and my water broke...totally convenient right?!?!? the was the begining of the end.

we now have 4 babies and love them all SO much but it is too funny that vernoica was the one that we tried SO hard for (the others were wanted but came unexpectedly) and she has become the BOSS!!!

today she went into my room, AGAIN and took many pieces of my jewelry out of my box and misplaced some and broke others then she went into her fathers drawer and took his prescriptions and lost them!!! (we found ALL of them)

it's just another blink and she will be off to college...

yuck!

when is this weather going to finally break?!?!?!

i don't know about anyone else but we have been sharing our germs all winter at my house, one gets a cold or the flu and slowly it makes it's way through the other 5 of us...now this is getting RIDICULOUS!!! it is the end of march and 2 of our daughters and myself have the flu...AGAIN!!!!

i am through with taking prescriptions, everytime the baby has the sniffles the peditircian is prescribing steroids, whats that all about?!?! remind me to use some vapo rub, the humidifier and prescribe lots of snuggeling (maybe some tylenol to make her comfortable)

today i went to the naturopath and he suggested zinc, echinacea with goldenseal and vitamin c...(not orange juice due to the high sugar content)for myself as well as the kids...what a novel idea, using herbs and vitamins and minerals instead of chemically altered prescriptions!!! believe me, i have NOTHING against prescriptions or drug companies, there is a time and place for them, just not with EVERY ILLNESS!!!

green goes mainstream...

i was recently thinking about why, if it has become so "in" to be green, haven't mainstream companies joined the bandwagon. major companies that sell lines of cleaners have name reconginition and most of the time buyer loyality behind them so why are they not getting into the action?

fast forward to my finally laying on the sofa with a weeks worth of sale flyers and catalogs...i open my bj's wholesale club flyer (when you have 4 kids you buy in bulk) and i was pleasently surprised to find pages and pages offering natural and organic foods as well as cleaning products!!!

not only is clorox offering it's own line of cleaners called "green works" but marcal now offers "sunrise", a line of recycled paper products!!! these items are still a little pricer than their "un-green" counterparts, but as i tell my husband, "the more the demand, the more offered, the lower the price"

check out greenworks toilet bowl, all- purpose, dilutable, glass and surface and bathroom cleaners at all major stores where cleaners are sold; as well as sunrise products in shoprite, pathmark, a&p, superfresh, food emporium, foodtown, king kullen, d'agostino, price chopper, p&c, big y, farm fresh, ukrops, earth fare, jewel, woodmans, meijer stores, hannaford brothers, grisdetes and many others.

imagine if every family made one small change...
