I'm not sure how I found her blog, I'm sure it was one of those.... I was reading a blog who linked to another blog, who then linked to another blog - so that is how I got to Julie and her beautiful blog. I've enjoyed reading about her family and crafting ideas!
She had a giveaway to a cute store :belkaidesigns
And I won! yeah! Now I have to decide what to get!

Lisa Whelchel wrote some books....
Did you know that Blaire from The Facts of Life has written some books?
NO CLUE.
I was reading a blog about her August book list and noticed the title of one of the books. When I looked for it on Amazon - I realized that Lisa Whelchel wrote them (She played Blaire).
So I logged into my favorite public library computer system to request the book. No such luck in our system. Off to Interlibrary Loan (ILL) - oh how I love this system. I can get almost any book I want through the ILL system. Some books may not come because the book is to new, or all libraries have the book checked out.
I'm on the wait list - who knows when the book will get to me.
***9/25 ETA: I got the book on Saturday - Yeah ILL! - The Me in Mommy made me think that I need to take some time for ME - and not worry so much that the world around me will fall apart because I didn't make a home cooked meal. ****

Posters for the little boy
I found this website today - Sprik Space
I uploaded the light blue one to both Sam's and Costco -
not sure where I'll order them from - depends on my next trip to either of the stores.
His bare white walls need a little fun and color. I thought these would be perfect!
He is into finding letters and saying "ABCs"

Laundry Detergent
My quest for a new laundry detergent started again recently. I want to try and spend the next few months cloth diapering my 2 year old. I know he is sometimes aware of when he has gone to the bathroom. We have a new Baby Bjorn potty seat which works for peeing. No success with pooping. He does recognize that his "tummy hurts" and the dirty diaper after wards. Now let's connect the two please!
I was introduced to the Rocking Green Soap when I went to a session on cloth diapers a month ago. They handed out a bunch of samples. There are 3 formulas: Hard Rock , Classic Rock and Soft Rock. And all you need to wash cloth diapers or a load of laundry is 2 tablespoons full. While the formulas have scents, I didn't smell anything after the wash.
And tonight's adventure was about making my own. I've read my share of blogs and many many of them have different recipes. For the most part, they are the same - or at least the same concept. I liked this one because it was simple and and explained it well. I made a double batch tonight. (will post pictures later) The few loads I've washed tonight came out clean. There weren't bubbles in the machine when I checked.
