The Zombie Years...
I believe the doctor's words were "Holy cow! Her tonsils are HUGE! They're even bigger than most adults!"
Great. Of course my immediate questions were somewhere along the lines of "Is it something more serious like cancer?".
After being told that they were likely just large, and may or may not effect her, she moved on, with simple instructions that if they seemed to bother her, call and ENT and see about getting them taken out.
She's been fine until about two weeks ago, when the weather turned cold and her nose got stuffy. He snoring is out of control, we can hear her in our room down the hall. But, what's worse is she is struggling to breath at all. Because of this, she keeps waking up and making her way into our bed. After the first night of her flailing her arms and legs to fight for her breath, I called the ENT.
The first appointment was 10 days later. I took it. We're now 4 days away from that appointment, and still getting a visitor in our bed every night.
This is making for some very sleepless nights for The Hubs and me, but we understand that this is just what K2 needs right now. Because I stay at home during the days (and work part time in the evenings), I try to always make sure The Hubs gets a full night of sleep. This, however, has resulted in me stumbling around the house for the first 2-3 hours of the day, even after I've gotten K1 and K2 dressed, fed and dropped off at school. K1 has even been known to look at me as I hand her her school uniform and say "Mama, you'd better get some coffee."
Touche' kid, touche'
FREEBIES START HERE
As you may have noticed, I have a mad crush on freebies. They're a great way to learn about new products, and they tend to come in quite handy.
1) They're great for traveling. Little packets of shampoo and conditioner, lotion, and baby wipes fit great in an overnight bag, and you aren't running much of a risk of a broken bottle soaking all your belongings in strawberry sunshine shampoo. Bonus, almost all samples will fit into a Ziplock bag for added protection.
2) Spoil your guests. I don't have too much company at my house (who wants to come stay in a house with three girls ages five and under, and a pregnant lady), but my mom has a crazy amount of visitors (and she loves it). She has two guest bathrooms (well, they are guest now, they used to be for my siblings) in her downstairs. In each one, she's put a hot pot, a couple of coffee mugs, tea bags (some are free samples I've given her), and a basket of free samples of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, tampons, pads, baby wipes, deodorant, toothpaste and floss. All items she got free as samples.
3) This one parent's will definitely appreciate. My girls, even the two year old, are obsessed with brushing their teeth. I used to line up all of their brushes and put a dab of toothpaste on each and send them in to brush. Now my five year old has requested that she's old enough to do more things herself. Of course she is, she has been for a while, but my doing it has been easier, faster, and much less messy. The four and two year olds are following her role, with even my youngest telling me "My do it myself". This resulted in half of a full size tube of toothpaste being squirted onto the counter, into the sink and onto the faucet (all of which were quite shiny after their toothpaste scrubdown). Toothpaste samples come in great here. They are smaller which are easier for little hands, but more importantly, only so much can end up in the sink!
The possibilities are endless!
However, if you're going to turn freebie hunting into a full time habit (I spend an hour or so each morning while I try to enjoy my coffee), I will suggest making up a completely separate e-mail for this purpose. Because, let me tell you, you WILL get follow-up e-mails from the companies you request freebies from. Now, don't completely ignore these e-mails... some of them will come with printable coupons, and those can be pretty good!
Some companies will also tell you to confirm your freebie through a confirmation e-mail. They want their products in your hands, so they'll usually tell you to check your e-mail for this.
All of the freebies you find on my blog will be 100% free, no shipping costs or promises to buy more in the future etc., UNLESS I post otherwise in the post. I won't share a freebie with you unless I've completed it myself to make sure it's 100% FREE!
Happy Freebie gathering! They'll all be posted on the Facebook Page, so make sure to follow!

The land of fall
Who else loves fall? It is by far my favorite season. I got married in the fall, I love it so much!
Who wouldn't be happy living in a land of beautiful, crunchy leaves, bonfires, hot cocoa, and big, soft, squishy sweaters? If anyone knows of such a land, please, by all means, share the knowledge!
