Cloth Diapering: I've missed it.

Diapers. As someone with kids, diapers are a necessity. With Bug, I originally wanted to cloth, but I was young and didn't necessarily didn't get what I wanted. For the first six months of her life, I lived with my parents and they helped buy diapers for her. Once I moved in with Papi, we were still getting use to living as a family so I stuck with disposable diapers. 

With my Owlet, I was adamant that she would be a fluffy butt. It took 9 months to convince Papi, but I finally got to try some out with her. A friend ended up sending me a box full of CDs for her and that was all I needed. I was hooked. Papa refused to change her if she was wearing cloth, so changing diapers were up to me. Nothing new there; I was the main one changing her diapers anyways. While I was in class, she would be in disposables and I would change her into a cloth once I got home. Unfortunately, this was hard on her little booty and I forced Papi to deal with changing her cloth. I loved that we weren't spending $25+ every 2 weeks on diapers. 

Once Owlet started getting interested in potty training, I gave up on my cloth since it was to hard to quickly get her diaper off so we switched her to pull-ups. 

I've come to the conclusion that she may be interested in the potty, but she's not quite ready to potty train. Today marks the first day back in our cloth diapers. Papa keeps asking me when I'm going to sell them, but I'm hoping that eventually he'll change his mind about having one more baby and then we'll be set with diapers.

Fingers crossed he finally comes around to adding one more kiddo to our mix.

Spring Quarter has arrived

I'm not sure if y'all remember but I am still in college. Yes, I said STILL! January marked my fifth year at my current school. Five years is a long time to be in school with nothing to show except debt. 

The reason I've been in school for fives years is mainly due to the fact that I've changed my major twice so that means I've been in three different programs. Luckily, I've found the one I want to stick with. I am currently a Junior in college majoring in Early Elementary Education with a ZS Endorsement. Once I have my BS I will be able to teach up to the third grade.

I am in love with my classes and I have been for two years. I have been so dedicated since changing programs that I was actually in class while I was unknowingly in labor with my little Owlet. 

Today marks the first day of Spring Quarter 2016 which means my schedule is about to get crazy. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I have class from 6 to 9:40 every night. Plus I have my bible study, weekend meeting, and midweek meeting. Not to mention all the homework I'm going to have. 

And now I through on at least one post a week here...Am I crazy or something?

Well, ta ta for now my lovelies.

2016 is a new year to get back on track

So life...and this blog... got away with me. I am determined to get back on track and definitely write more.

What caused life to get so busy? You may ask. Well...

We have a new addition to our little family.

Here is my little Owlet. She was born of March 7, 2014 at 12:16pm

6lbs 13oz & 19in long

Here she is when she turned a year old.

TWO YEARS OLD NOW!!!!!

This little Owlet is such a spunky and sassy little girl with absolutely no fear. She is so different from her big sister. I seriously have no idea where to start with her. I'm thinking I'll just plan out an entire post about her because just a small introduction will do her no justice.

Obviously, Miss Bug has grown as well. 

She has grown into a very beautiful and caring little girl. It's funny how she was just turning 3 years old when I last posted and now she is 6. SIX!!!! I still cannot believe it. 

Seriously, where did the time go?

Here are some main updates about Miss Bug:

* She's a kindergartener. She adores school and her teacher.

* She has official lost her first tooth. I ended up having to pull it out (she did NOT like me at all). She actually ended up with 'shark teeth' for awhile. That's where her permanent teeth broke the skin behind her her baby teeth. Apparently, it's very common and hereditary on my side of the family.

* Most importantly, she adores being a big sister.

Some family updates:

May 18, 2015, Papi and I eloped at the courthouse! I'll make sure to do a single post about getting married because it truly was a special and memorable day for us as a family. Plus everyone was shocked since we were only engaged 9 days hahaha!

Everything is so wonderful. The only downside to the past three years is that, unfortunately, Owlet will be my final baby. More in a separate post.

Well, look at that...three topics already planned out for posts. I'm hoping to at least get one post a week out, but that depends on my personal class schedule, homework load, and review load. Oh yeah...there's the fourth topic I can write about; my reviewing.

Ta Ta for now!
