Daddy come back

Matt headed back to work this morning and no one in the house was happy. As sad it is to see him leave I know he is doing it for his family. Today has been a mess from the start. I think the littlest ones in the house are getting sick. Hailey screamed the entire night as did Danica as well. Danica also woke up with a fever, great! All I can say is if these kids get sick I don't know what I am going to do.
On a good note! Kailenn has kindergarten orientation tomorrow evening. Oh boy are we excited for back to school. Although we will never get there if the twins are indeed getting sick.
Yesterday we picked up an older kitten and she is just the sweetest. While I am typing this she is laying in my lap. Jasmine won't do that. She fits so well into our hectic house. All of the girls are enjoying her too, especially the no scratching part. Jasmine has really gotten bad with scratching the kids. The only thing we are not too excited about is toilet training another cat. Eek that was not a fun process to go through, but as we know totally worth it. My biggest reason for toilet training our cats is I hate cat litter and litter boxes. This shall be the most exciting 3 weeks ever with Matthew being gone. Matthew we need you more than you'll ever know. I've come to realize that in the almost 3 years of marriage it's really hard to be alone anymore. We love you daddy!

"No Poo"

Well here it is, I haven't "shampood my hair in 10 days. Yes you heard me 10 days. I have on the other hand washed my hair. I am trying something new to help with my itchy scalp. I have to say so far it's going GREAT! My hair is soft, shiny and the best thing it's not itchy any more. I am choosing to do this because of the harsh chemicals in shampoo and how it strips your hair of the natural oils that cleanse it. Using shampoo of sets the natural balance of oils and causes your body to make more oil thus making it harder to go longer without shampooing your hair.There is also the inexpensive reason to do it. It just doesn't cost much!

Here is how I do it:
The wash is made up of baking soda and water. I take one cup of warm water to 1 tblsp baking soda. Mix it up till it dissolves. Then for the conditioner I use the vinegar. I like to use both white and apple cider. I do one cup of water and mix in 1tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp white.
If you prefer a smell add a few drops of essential oil, honey, or lemon juice to the vinegar mixture. Do not worry once your hair is rinsed and dryed you will not smell the vinegar.

When you get in the shower get your hair wet just like you would if you were showering. Then proceed with pouring the baking soda mixture in your hair. Rub it in real well and focus on rubbing the scalp, working it into the ends. Now it wont lather like shampoo but trust me your hair is getting clean. Leave the mixture on your hair for a bit while you wash something else. Come back and rinse it all out real well. After you've rinsed pour the vinegar on your hair and do the same. I like to leave it on a bit longer than the baking soda! After you've let it sit, rinse and your done.

I hope others try this out as I think it is very beneficial to your health. :) Happy hair cleaning.

Daddy we miss you

It's been 10 days since Matt left to work. He is doing an extra harvest season this year. Though we need the money, we sure do miss the man in our life. Our house is full of tears and frustration. Its not easy taking care of 3 children all by yourself not to mention twins. The babies began teething the day Matt left. Their top two teeth are coming in and are not making things easy. Their constant crying coupled with Kailenn acting out is making this momma a worn out one. Teething isn't the only thing going on in our lives right now. Kailenn is going to be starting kindergarten on Sept. 6th. This is such an exciting time for her right now. We spent yesterday with my mom shopping. I have to say it was very nice having someone else with me so I could have someone to talk to. We spent way more time then I had planned on, but it was completely worth it. Kailenn got to pick out her backpack and a matching notebook to go with it. It was a painstaking process choosing the right one. She finally decided on iCarly. I have a feeling Matt's exact words are going to be "oh brother". I guess we will just have to wait and see!

I haven't been writing on my blog like I said I would. I just don't think about it anymore. I am done for the night though and will say good bye so I can put the babies to bed. Good night internet!

Naked baby

I took Danica's diaper off for a little air drying. I guess that was the perfect time for her to climb up the couch and look out the window. It was hilarious! Not only was she naked she was banging on the window almost trying to get people's attention. I decided it was the perfect momment for the embarrasing photo for later in life. Here it is my little naky Danica.
