It’s been a while since I have written an entry and its not for lack of trying or for lack of desire. This past holiday season as per the usual was busy busy and even a bit more busy with baby in tow. Also my little diva has been a clingy little spafart these days. I have not been on the computer for days. Luckily I have my handy buddy Mrs. iphone if it were not for her I would not be connected in anyway shape or form. I’ve even learned to shop online from my little Mrs. Iphone. Shopping online...eesh that is a little habbit I am beginning to pick up. I have been finding amazing deals coupons for shopping online on things that I can rarely pass up but will surely use...wink wink. I said to Erick that I want to start my own business shopping online for other people finding amazing deals and then marking the price up.
    So I caved at Christmas we ended up surprising my family on Christmas day arriving just as they were waking up to unwrap gifts. It was fun. But me and Erick were exhausted we slept most of Christmas day away. New Years Eve was also a different type of celebration eating a yummy yummy dinner at Erick’s moms and then quietly celebrating at a friend’s place.
  There are many changes that I see in my little spafart since the last entry. Well actually there are changes even in the last couple of days. She has started to discover her voice and I love it so much. She coos when we talk to her as if she is saying exactly how she feels. Her giggles are starting to come more easily. Thank goodness for that because I was starting to get exhausted from making faces and singing and dancing trying to pry a little giggle out of her.
   Kaia’s little bum bum is still doing fabulous in her cloth diapers. That is a still a choice that I am glad that I made both for the pocket book and for my little muffins bum bum. The big question everyone asks me about is the laundry. I don’t find the laundry any more daunting then it already was. I wash her diapers usually every other day one load and that’s it easy peasy. Sometimes people just need to have an easier going attitude about things the energy and attitude you bring forth makes the world of difference (Stepping off soap box now). 
  Breast feeding is also still going amazing. I love the bonding that I have with Kaia during each feed, especially now that she is starting to giggle. She will stop eating look up at me and let out a little giggle while quickly smashing her face back into my boob and madly start eating again. I love it. Oh and did I mention it’s FREE...this little child of mine is so cheap right now. The expensive part is me and my online shopping addiction. Some of the sites that I’m on daily are sites that showcase one sale a day with baby/ children stuff. I digress. Breast feeding, right... recently a friend of mine gave birth and I know that she was really wanting to breast feed her little peanut. I know that from my experience breastfeeding is difficult if you don’t have the understanding of the commitment level and the support. I know a lot of women that just can’t make it past the toe curling hurt, or the constant commitment of being tied to your baby every couple of hours. Anyways I wanted to make something for my friend that would help her along the way. I wanted to make a little gift pack that was full of items that would help support her. I included breast pads, nipple cream and a hooter hider etc. My friend already had most all of these items and I’m not sure that my little gift was well received. But this lead me to another business venture....I could make gift baskets for new moms. Hmmm. Oh I included Epsom salts too for the vag...hehe. I must also say that this gift was inspired by a gift that I received from a friend that included some of these items. I know that I was so incredibly thankful for that nipple cream and those salts.
  Well my spafart is clearly having a good morning nap I should continue to take advantage of this and start tidying my home.....I still haven’t managed to totally clean everything after the whirlwind of installing new floors into my bedroom on the weekend. Sigh
