  Zoe is amazing when she was born my life changed forever suddenly I wasn't living just for me I was living for her. I love every minute I get to spend with my Zobean she is just like me which is scary but very amusing.  She is very caring and nurturing she is the little mother hen around here with an attitude from hell like me. She just finished 1st grade ending the year with all A's and B's.  I couldn't be more proud of the awesome sweet smart girl she is growing up to be. When I ask her why she is so special to me she says "because I was the baby that made you a mommy"

What she wants to be when she grows up: A mommy

 Taylor is my little ball of energy. She has an attitude like no other. She loves going places she isn't content just hanging out at home for to long.  As soon as she was born I knew she would be different ( in a good way of course) She marches to the beat of her own drum.  Taylor is very independent and likes to play on her own where no one can bother her.  She shows no fear and is very smart. I'm proud of her too :) because of how smart she is. Shes our little dare devil and sweety pie.  When I ask her why she is so special to me she says "Cause I love you"

Hunter aka Huntie, booger, pooh  bear

Age 2 yrs 5 months

Favorite T.V. show: Yo Gabba Gabba

Favorite sport: Soccer

 Hunter has taught me more patience than I ever thought I could or would have.  When Hunter was born my family became complete he was the missing piece to the puzzle and the missing part of my heart.  Hunter was a very very unhappy little baby he cried a lot and I knew something wasn't right.  Having Hunter gave me the strength to stand up for what I know is right, I argued with the Dr for 7 months until they finally sent him to a specialist and now he is the happiest little guy ever.  Hunter is a lot like his big sister Taylor they have the same attitude it is so funny to watch them you would think they are twins.  he is a big big mommies boy and I wouldn't want it any other way.  

I am so proud of all of my wonderful children, they have changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I couldn't picture my life without them all in it, nor would I want to.  I am honored to be there mother and I enjoy every minute of my life with them.

Shark steam mop!!!

This year I am trying to make my home more chemical free. I convinced the Hubby to buy me the new shark professional steam pocket mop. We purchased it from target for $129.99 they have it in 3 colors white, blue, and yellow, We got the white one it came with a free $10 dollar target gift card and  I absolutely love it!!! We have 4 kids ranging in age from 7 to age 2 so I'm sure you can imagine how sticky and gross floors can get. When I first got it I immediately went to the stickiest spot on my kitchen floor which was spilled and dried koolaid. The mop has 3 settings, dust (for wood floors), Mop (for everyday cleaning), and Scrub (for those tough jobs).  I turned my mop to scrub and set it right on that sticky icky spot and within seconds the nasty mess was gone.  Next I took out my mop and bucket, mopped the whole floor like I would normally do, and let it dry.  After the floor dried I turned the steam mop back to scrub ( my favorite setting) and did the whole floor, and let me tell you when they say the proof is in the pad its so true the reusable micro fiber pad was filthy gross and from what was supposed to be a clean floor that my kids crawl around on, It made me want to get sick :( after using the shark mop I will never go back to doing my floors with a mop and bucket or with chemical floor cleaners again. 


Pros: 
Comes with both the rectangle and triangle head (for easy bathroom cleaning)
Kills germs with No chemicals
comes with 3 reusable micro fiber pads
also comes with the carpet glider for refreshing carpets
Has 3 different settings dust, mop and scrub
Has a large water tank and continuous steam.
Makes cleaning my floor fast and easy.
Saves money no more buying floor cleaners
Less time cleaning




Cons:
You have to remember not to leave the water in it.


I highly recommend this steam mop for anyone who wants an easy chemical free way to clean there floors.

On to new things!!!!

My blog used to be mainly about cloth diapers and what I liked and didn't like. Well now we are on to bigger things and all things that have to do with trying to care for 4 crazy kiddos. 

Rumparooz OS diaper cover!!

We ordered the Rumparooz OS cloth diaper cover from http://www.fluffenvy.com/ It cost $14 for unprinted and $16 for printed. They have cute prints we got the Kangaroo print its super cute. The Rumparooz cover comes with super stretchy elastic and inner gusets. It has front and back elastic, I wasnt sure if I would like the front elastic or not but I think I do. This diaper runs a little bigger than there pocket diapers but still snaps down nice and small for those smaller babies. My son is on the last snap and usually with cloth diaper covers he is fully unsnapped. We are still up in the air on this cover because it seems really wide so I will right a follow up post.

Rumparooz OS pocket diaper

I ordered the Rumparooz OS pocket diaper from http://fluffenvy.com . They have amazing customer service and fast affordable shipping. It took 2 days for my diaper to get here which is awesome. The rumparooz diaper is a pocket diaper meaning it has a pocket in the back that you stuff with inserts. It came with a micro terry insert and a snap on doubler. The inside of this diaper is soo soft and the inner gusstets are to die for. Its a one size diaper with a snap down rise. The rise on this diaper has 4 snaps where most only have 3 this makes it so it will fit a smaller baby sooner and should last you longer. My son is 14 months old and 23 lbs and wears it fully unsnapped although he could be on the last snap as well which seems to be about how he is with most os diapers at the moment. We love this diaper we havent had a leak it cleans well and is just adorable we got the monster print.

Rockin Green clothe diaper detergent!!

Ok here is my review on Rockin Green Cloth diaper detergent!!! http://rockingreensoap.com/  I ordered it from there sight it doesnt take long for the order to come less than a week. The bag of hard rock which I need because I have hard water cost $15.95 it does 45 regular loads and 90 he loads. We have a whirlpool cabrio He top loading washer( which i do not like) I also ordered one of there cool magnetic scoops they have too it sticks to the side of the machine which is awesome. The smells we have tried are orgavana( discontinued) I wasnt crazy about that one, The plain green teas (I liked it) Motley Clean (my favorite), smashing watermelons (loved) and rage against the raspberrys (yumm). You will fall in love with this detergent if you take the sheets off your bed wash them like you normally would then rock a soak with rockin green for 1 hr after you see the water you will only want to use rockin green. I am having some issues with stink in my diapers though so I posted on there facebook page about it and she had me email her and she is sending me something else to try so that is awesome.  I reccomend Rockin Green cloth diaper detergent to everyone I meet its great for Cloth diapering and regular laundry in general it rinses clean and leave clothes soft and smelling clean. Its also great for cleaning you can use it in your dishwasher, steam cleaner , clean your toilet with it ect. My one year old knocked a plate of blueberry sauce onto my tan carpet and rockin green got it out on the first try!!!! 

Covers!!!

I am going to do this one in the same style that I did the prefolds. So here are the covers I have and what I think about them.

Flip: already reviewed love it!!! It is our favorite cover we grab this one first when we do prefolds and fitteds.

Bummis super whisper wrap: This is the 2nd diaper we bought we found it on craigslist for $5 so decided to try it. Its a size medium in euc.  The medium runs a bit large it fits my 25 lbs one yr old with chubby legs well. Its Velcro and has decent laundry tabs I really like this cover and use it often.

Kawaii baby covers: I bought these from http://comfycozydiapers.com for about $6 a piece I have 2 green ones one blue one and one white one I like the colors alot. I wouldn't recommend this cover for toddlers or large babies. It has a snap down rise and Hunter wears it all the way unsnapped with little room to grow.  They are a thinner cover but serve its purpose I will try to get a pic of all the sizes it has so you can see. I don't hate this cover its just not my favorite.
