C'est La Vie Jewelry

Here's another post I stole from Samantha. This site has some gorgeous neckalces and you can personalize them too! Perfect for Mother's Day, but they are great even if you aren't a mom. I love them! I really want to win one, but even if I don't I think I'll buy one.

Kinda Crunchy

Savannah will be starting Kindergarten this fall, which has lead to the great schooling debate at our house. I want to home school her. I've been thinking about it for years, and I really want to do it. Jesse is against the idea. Anyhow, this has lead to the whole hippy discussion. Jesse thinks I'm a hippy. I strongly disagree. Just because I care about the environment doesn't make me a hippy. Since it is Earth Day and all, I was pondering this as I spent the entire morning on the computer (seriously, how less hippy could I be?) and I remembered this "How Crunchy are You" quiz that I took a few years ago. Its based on Attachment Parenting, but I still like it. If anyone else is interested, you can find it here:

As I was taking the quiz, I realized that I'm not crunchy... I'm lazy! Alot of my answers were because it is the easier option.

Seriously though, it is earth day. Most of the stuff on the quiz was parenting based, so I think it left out a lot of important things. So in honor of Earth Day I thought I'd share some of the little things I do that help the Earth:
I recycle whenever possible.
I bring my own grocery bags to the store. (If you haven't heard of them, check out chicobag.com they are amazing!)
I try to consolidate errands, I'm not very good at it though.
I refuse to drive Jesse's Suburban. There are 4 of us for crying out loud, why do we need to drive a tank?
I buy things used and sell or donate clothing and household items when we are finished with them.
We use cloth diapers. I love them! More people should try them.
I try to use natural cleaning products when possible (Clorox GreenWorks, 7th Generation, and BioKlean are all fantastic!)
I try to support local businesses and love Farmer's Markets

Back to the not-so-real world!

After a month we finally have internet again! Hooray no more taking the kids to the community center to wrestle with them just to get in 5 minutes of e-mail time! And I can post pictures again! We are loving San Diego more and more everyday, and way more than the last time we were here. We've already had out of state guests twice, and are waiting for everyone else to come. We love having visitors!

The kids are doing great. Lincoln has grown up like a year's worth in the last month. He has suddenly hit that, "I'm a kid, not a baby," stage that makes me so sad. He's so much easier now though, and so fun that I can't help but be excited about it.

Savannah is pretty much the same. She is very excited to get to wear her cute sundresses everyday and LOVES going to the pool.

I posted like 70 pictures on dropshots this morning, so if you want to see more they are there.
