Going Green in 2013

As we close up 2012, I am starting to realize we have been moving away from all the gunk we normally clog our life up with.

 Less fast food, more home cooking.

Bigger home, greener heat.

I've been shopping at Trader Joes about once a week for our snacks, wine, beer, milk pasta and sauce. Thats a lot of our "staples" Next week we'll receive our first Organic To You basket. I did a fruit box for our first box for this first order.


 Then we had the big "talk" yesterday. We're trying to Potty Train Carson again (lesigh) I think part of his reluctance to potty train is he is just so damn comfortable in his diapers. I mean, you can pee like 3 times before they really NEED changed. So he's not connecting the dots of going and feeling wet.  When Chris goes back to work, we're going to do cloth training pants that have a water proof shell. Because, well I am not going to run around while carson leaks pee and poo all over my house if I can't get to him fast enough.  I think we're going to do mostly pocket diapers, so we can adjust the absorbency, but keep it as easy and simple as possible.

I'm excited for the New Year and all the exciting things it will bring. I'm competing in a Warrior Challenge in September, I wrote briefly that we are back burnering (is this a word?) any and all plans of a 3rd child until 2014. We might TTC as soon as 2014 rolls around or we might decide that the children we have are simply enough. Right now our world is good and solid and why rock that boat? Also selfishly I want to enjoy some time not being pregnant, or nursing.

I can not wait for 2013 and all the amazing things it will bring! This year I will have a 1 year old and 4 year old. Last year was great but I strive to make every year better than the last.
