thursday things

1. We have a tad bit of crankiness going on in this little casa. But it comes in spurts and in between they are happy as little twin clams just chillin' on the ocean floor. The fussiness though is intense and so sad. Which led me, in my teething research, to this Baltic amber teething necklace. I've read a few blogs of moms who have babies who wear them and they swear by them. Have any of y'all heard of them? I'm willing to try almost anything. {P-dubs is not though and he thinks it's weird.}

2. My sweet friend Laci stopped by on Monday and dropped off this little gift. Made my week. I love Passion tea but it's really strong. Today I mixed it with a little pink lemonade. Amazing. Who needs Starbucks?! Not this girl.

3. My daughters like to put their lovies over their faces to fall asleep. Makes me so nervous. Once they're asleep I always go in and take them but I still hate it.

4. The girls have officially outgrown their gDiapers. This isn't saying much though since the smalls went up to only 13 pounds. Way to pack on the pounds, girls. I liked the gDiapers because our Bumgenius were so bulky when they were tiny {forever}. But now I want something to last until potty training. We have a few Bumgenius and a few Flips but, now that I've gotten my feet wet (not literally, in case you're worried) with cloth diapering, I'm kind of feeling brave enough to try prefolds, snappis, covers, and the whole shebang. {If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you are like me a year ago. Think more old school...like how they used to pin diapers. On second thought, maybe I'm not so brave.} I also read some good reviews about these diapers. They're made in the U.S. I like that. 

5. I have been eating graham crackers with peanut butter and milk like they are going out of style. Which maybe they did. In like elementary school. 

6. Get yourself some cream cheese, pesto, sun dried tomatoes and chicken and make this meal. I'm always telling people to make food. I'm weird like that. Usually, I rant and rave about healthy food. {You've probably never met someone who can get so excited about quinoa.} This is not really healthy per se but it's so easy and tastes like you got it from a fancy Italian restaurant. The only thing I do differently is add a little balsamic vinegar to the topping. 

Too many cooks in the kitchen? Just look at that pesto/cream cheese goodness.

7. And I'm off to research some more cloth diapers. It's addicting. I know, that's hard to believe but, nevertheless, I may need an intervention.
