What's going on in the Helvey's world??
*I finally joined Pinterest again my better judgment and I am hooked. Yes please send Pinterest anonymous info! And they have an iPhone app, I'm in trouble!
*Tax season may be the death of me this year. We file separately and D owes over $2k. I would like to send a big f u to the IRS!
*In college I had my Tragus pierced and one day it randomly fell out. The last few years I had wanted to get it done again but feared I was too old. One day on a whim I decided to do it again. Age is all relative right?
Here is what I want. Once it heals fully I can put this cute little stud in.
*My mom and I went to a gluten free bakery and cafe yesterday, one hour south of our house. It was awesome. A whole store full of yummy goodness that I can eat. I brought home lots of sweets and ate them all, then felt like ass. LOL. It was worth it!
*I need a vacation, like really bad. But (see above about taxes) that's not happening this year!!
*Brayden has an appointment with an orthopedic dr to check his bones. Kids with low tone in there trunk (weak muscles) can have problems with spine curving so we want to see him and make sure B's on the right track.
*The weather has been awesome. A 35+* winter, yes please!
*The Superbowl was blah. Yup I said it. I don't like Madona and the commercials were so so. The naked M&M's was my fave.
*I found an awesome GF beer.
*B has been having some poop issues lately. Poor man has been constipated for awhile. His GI dr put him on a dose of Miralax and success! Happy (and smelly) baby!! LOL.
*On my quest to be green and chemical free I have found new wipes for B, because I realized his Huggies Natural Care wipes are not natural! Seventh Generation wipes are awesome. If you buy online in the bulk box they are the same price!
OK back to Pinterest....

Heather, where do you order your Seventh Generation wipes from? I did not know Huggies weren't really natural! BOO!!!
I was also wondering if you found any more good natural products? I'm still trying to find a deoderant.
Have you ever thought of making your own wipes? Cut a roll of paper towels in half. Put two cups of water, 1 tablespoon of baby wash and 1 tablespoon of baby oil. Put the towels in and after 30 minutes the cardboard insert will easily come out. The container I used was an empty plastic ice cream jug with slits cut in the lid to pull the wipes through. This doesn't work for the diaper bag but will work for home. And if there is not a natural baby oil you could just use 2 tablespoons of baby wash.
You have been busy.
Hey mama! Email after the ortho consult and tell me what they say. My dad is an ortho, and he was the head of American ortho peds for years! So if you need/want a free second opinion, let me know!
I am soo glad you found that gluten shop, but had to laugh that you ate it all and felt bad! Sorry! :)
Pinterest is DANGEROUS!!! I need to make sure I'm following you now. Ha!
I agree with amber about the making your own wipes! They turn out great! I haven't made them myself but have a friend who swears by them & I use them at her house. I have made my own cloth wipes for pee only. (I figure that I do laundry enough to include these wipes in with it so it's not any extra work.) I cut up some receiving blankets into (approx.) 4x8 rectangles and had my mom sew the edges. They fit in a wipes container & I soak them in water only. After they're used I toss them into his laundry basket. I figure that it cuts down on any chemicals.
I am resisting Pinterest with all that I have. But it's not easy...
I heard that your tragus is always "growing..." and therefore eventually, the piercing just grows out? and then once it heals you'll have to get it redone. Weird, huh? That's something i've always wanted done- although the word "tragus" gives me the heebies. too many weird consonant sounds! ha! so glad you've found some yummy GF treats to indulge in- you deserve it, lady!
and don't even get me started on the taxes. we own a house, i don't work, we have a BABY and we STILL owe money? i never had to owe money until i got married. LOL.. i miss the old days ;)
happy tuesday!
Haha, love your updates. My parents do the same thing if I have not blogged in a few days.
Does that piercing hurt? I love the look with the stud! Maybe something I would consider if it wasn't too painful...I'm a wimp, the older I get!
woww great post good luck
