Still Sick

I don't know what's going on in the Lesch household, but frankly I'm OVER IT! We are constantly sick. We take our vitamins, we get fresh air, we drink water, we eat our veggies and fruit...I even eat honey on an almost daily basis--what is up??? I am thinking that it's about time that I order my friend, Mark Severance's book, Mother Nature's Healing Touch Therapies. You can order this book online at amazon. Just do a search for the title or under the author's name: Dr. Mark Severance. I just know I have to do something else cause this isn't good for any of us. God did create this amazing planet -- I am sure there are great healing remedy's in it!

I would like to start trying and giving reviews on items

So I am really up for trying out new things and giving reviews on them. However I wonder if I really want to with this blog and this is why-- I really wanted this blog to be about my life with these three wild boys, my Sailor husband, who is always trying to come up with some new (and generally expensive to do) adventure. Which brings us to his latest thing- building his own gun. WOW can we say nervous- cause thats how I'm feeling about this! I sometimes really wonder what goes through my husband's head- like when he said it was time to get Sammy and Silas their own bows.

so here's the question of the day should I start a new blog so that I can do reviews under that blog or should I just not to them at all? Oh what to do what to do. As I write this I am thinking that I should just not do them right now just cause we are still trying to get the last of the unpacking done, I've got some projects and crafts that I would like to do, and I am really enjoying not having stuff to do. I guess thats why having a blog is so great--is so I can write down what I'm thinking and hopefully that will help me figure it out--which in this case it did.

Oh by the way Happy 3:16 day!!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever should believe in him should have everlasting life!

Attachment Parenting

i never realized that rob and i practiced attachment parenting. i didn't know that by allowing my baby to co-sleep (never intended to do this with my babies), breastfeeding, keeping them very close to me (holding them constantly or wearing them), not allowing them to cry to cry it out, and never putting them on a strict schedule, was considered attachment parenting. to me it seemed like the right way to do things. i know a lot of friends disagree with my way of parenting, but i also know a lot of my friends agree with what we do. i also know that there have been plenty of times when i just wish i could sleep in my bed without having a child in it or after 16 months of breastfeeding he would finally stop--but i wouldn't change it! i love being this close to my boys. i love that my boys are extremely attached to my husband and i. my boys are still outgoing, they are okay with being at other people's houses, they are okay with spending the night at friends and families homes...they still feel secure. so i think that rob and i have done a great job at raising (so far) kids who are very close to us, know that we love them, and yet feel secure when they are away from us! who knew that breastfeeding, co-sleeping, no schedules, and babywearing would make this momma so happy to have made the choices she did!

ERGO Baby Carriers

So I've got to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my ERGO baby carrier that I bought just a month ago. We've gotten so much use out of it already. It worked wonders at the airport, doing laundry in an apartment complex (when you have to walk downstairs and carrying a laundry hamper), walking around Riverwalk in San Antonio. I wish I had been more into this babywearing stuff before having my last child. All I can do now is pass on this great, amazing, way of life-- the babywearing life! My little guy loves to be worn and it really makes life so much easier than having to cart around a stroller.
So my friend (new and haven't met in person, just have been following her blog) at Jewels & Treasures (click her button on right hand side of the page) is giving away an ERGO!!

Give-Aways

I've realized I have been missing out on some great give-aways. I am now getting with the program and jumping on this train. I have also decided I am going to start doing some reviews of new things that we buy and receive. Might as well share what I have found with all you- my friends and family!

So the give-away that I am hoping to win right at this moment is being given away by Crazy 4 Fluff, is a Doopsy insert. This is great for you cloth diapering mama's!! You can follow her blog and check out the give away for yourself at www.crazy4fluff.blogspot.com/20011/03/doopsy-review-giveaway.html

Go check it out!!

Pictures From the Past (mentioned in an earlier post)

As I mentioned in earlier post, I had found pictures of Jacob, that I hadn't seen in a while. I just wanted to share those, since I had promised so long ago.
This is one of my favorite pictures of him. Smiling and sitting as content as can be in his carseat.

This was Jacob's baptism. He was baptized on Rob's ship, USS MASON, by Chaplain Powers.


Jacob's first time in his highchair and he was eating some bananas. He LOVED them!

His birthday. They had just put the second clamp on his umbilical cord, getting it ready for Rob to cut it. March 17, 2003 11:03am. 7lbs 12.5 oz and 22 in tall.

Enjoy!
