Day 57: Write up something about an alternative energy source. Ummm… don’t have much knowledge about this type of thing… but I’d love to get solar panels on our future home! Day 58: When was the last time you “roughed it”? Ha! Probably in high school when we had this massive storm from the after effects of a hurricane off the coast (we are in the mountains). The storms caused massive flooding and the reservoir where our drinking water comes from was contaminated…. so that meant no showering for well over a week unless you boiled the water first. (It was not only unsafe to drink but we were under…

Day 53: How do you beat the summer heat? Air conditioning… lmbo. We try to play outside in the morning or evenings (at mom’s… I don’t venture to the park without J right now because Boogie wears me out!), stay inside on the hottest of hot days, and try to find indoor activities. Day 54: What’s a band that you’ve been listening to and liking lately? I’m hooked on Jamie Grace and Jason Gray right now… particularly Jamie Grace’s “Hold Me” and Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am” Day 55: Give us 3 easy healthy meals or snacks for young kids & toddlers. These are our go to snacks/meals…

Day 47: A random act of kindness. This is a hard one, because with Boogie and I pretty much stuck in the house most days there aren’t many chances to do a random act of kindness. I will say that the few times Boogie and I have gone out I am always at the ready to help another mom in need… you know when you’re alone with your kid(s) and you’re pushing a cart or stroller and need to open the door at the same time? It drives me crazy when people walk right on by, go in, and don’t even offer to hold the door for you! So I do…

Day 41: Share 5 or 10 of your favorite blogs or websites.  The Pioneer Woman: She is AWESOME! Lots of fabulous recipes, tips and outside bloggers write about homeschooling, photography, etc. Life Happens During Naptime: This is a friend of mine who has two (soon to be three!) little boys… she’s a fellow babywearer and I love to read her blog entries. She’s not blogging right now, but I promise if you go back through you’ll thoroughly enjoy reading! Chunky and Monkey, MD: This is another friend of mine who is training to be a doctor, she’s currently a resident and has lately been working with NICU at the hospital…

Getting behind again… I KNOW! Day 38: Song lyrics that you find some meaning in. “Remind Me Who I Am” by Jason Gray Day 39: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Babywearing incorrectly or unsafely and not properly installing or using your car seats correctly. The “recommendations” should be RULES and REGULATIONS. Do your research people! Day 40: What is the hardest challenge you have been faced with? It’s both the hardest and the BEST challenge… becoming a mother. There are SO many ups and downs, especially now that we have entered toddlerhood! It’s overwhelming! It’ll be interesting adding a newborn to the mix in November!
