Hello all, I thought it might be fun to share some of my favorite products at home, and why I like them:
Quilted Northern Ultra Plush is the best toliet paper I have ever used or seen. It is 3-ply, 2 layers of softness plus one layer that feels just like a kleenex, seriously. It's also super absorbent, but doesn't fall apart, like other brands. It can be a little pricey, but I have yet to buy it at full price. You only need a few squares so I think it's a better value over cheaper toilet paper overall, even if you do pay full price.
Kleenex Viva Choose-a-Size Paper Towels are awesome! They are super absorbent and soft, and I like how you can just break off a small piece for a small mess. These too are a little more pricey than the cheapo alternative but it is so worth it. Their rolls last twice or maybe even thrice longer than other brands in my experience.
Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner is really good for cleaning off counters and tables and high chairs. Especially with how messy those areas get after feeding a one year old and a two year old. It has 3 settings: spray, squirt, and off.
Windex Original is the best window and glass cleaner in all the land. Other brands don't even compare.Baby Products:
Pampers Swaddlers are the best diapers for babies from birth to size 3. They are so soft and fit so well and absorb so much. They totally helped my babies with blowout prevention. I tried other brands but these diapers would last twice as long as the other brands so these are totally worth the extra money, it ends up being a better value in the long run (in my personal opinion, especially when you have a coupon)
Huggies Supreme Natural Fit Diapers are perfect for older babies and toddlers. When we can afford them and I have coupons for them, this is the brand I like to buy, but regular huggies are good as well.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment is another expensive yet worth the price item. This is great for any type of diaper rash, or any rash on the body. It's been great in the winters when my kids get red rashes on their little faces, or when they have a runny nose to put on their litle noses. It's kind of like a souped up version af vaseline, but works much faster and has more medication.
Huggies Baby Wash and Shampoo is great. It smells great, it easy on their sensitive skin, and the bottle is even easier to grab than other bottles.
Huggies Sensitive Wipes are the best wipes I have used. They are soft yet strong, and I can tear off half if I only need a little bit. Products that help make you feel better:
Advil is awesome for headaches or any pain really. Tylenol just doesn't do the trick like Advil. Except you can't take it if you are pregnant.
Tums are good for a number of stomach issues and they have calcium. I take at least two a day.
Nothing is better than Coke at helping my tummy feel better. It's bubbly, sweet, and fun. Don't worry, because I am prego, I only drink about 1-2 per week, if that, but the doctor thinks thats just fine. He said people only start having problems when they drink 3-4 energy drinks per day, or 5-6 cups of coffee. I would have to drink about 15 cokes per day for it to have any effect. Well, there it is. I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me through the products I use at home. Pretty much all the other products I use are store brand, unless there happens to be an awesome sale. :)
Michael and Wesley had fun with their cousin Ava. She was so cute dressed up in her little Dorothy costume with red slippers.
Also, FYI, the baby (in Jenny's belly) is doing okay since the last check-up. There's still a heartbeat and Jenny's starting to show more now. She's going to have an x-ray taken this week on her abdomen to see if the Mirena is still in there somewhere. We hope everything's alright and the baby's okay. The doctor thinks the baby will be fine. We'll keep you posted. We still won't know the gender for another couple of weeks. We're happy either way though! Thanks everyone for your love and concern.
