Going No Poo!

Have you heard of No Poo? Well if you have been searching for more natural, less chemical ways of life then you probably have. I heard about it probably close to 2 months ago but I have been working on emptying all the bottles of shampoo and conditioner that I had around the house before I switched. I just couldn't see wasting the money and throwing what I already had away.

So now all my hair cleaning products have been emptied and it's time to make the switch. I have already made my own toothpaste and deodorant and I'm loving them and my hubby is actually on board too, surprisingly! (I will share with you my recipes when I have ones that I love, still experimenting)

I learned about the No Poo method from Ashley's Green Life. She explains the "transition period" with some science information behind it. I will share my personal experience with this time after I'm through it. I'm excited to try more styles up with my hair from The Small Things Blog, this one is my favorite and go to.

So here's just a little about the no poo method. You use 1 TBS baking soda and 1 cup cold (filtered) water and mix it into a container of choice. I like Ashley's spray bottle idea the best so I'm going to start with that. This is the "shampoo" part of washing your hair.
For the "conditioner" you use 1 TBS apple cider vinegar to 1 cup (filtered) water. Ashley recommends letting it soak in while you finish your other shower duties. And then rinse well and the smell will be gone.

So I'm heading out to the store to get the supplies I need which is only the spray bottles because I have the rest because I use it in a lot of other things. I will keep you updated and take pictures of my hair throughout the whole process and we will see how things change. I'm hoping for healthier hair!

Have you ever tried the No Poo method? Would you ever try it? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
