2014 September – Applesauce To Zzzs

Family Update

All is well in our house…FINALLY! I know we have been MIA for far too long. We have been going from one sickness to another and sharing it with everyone around. It has been a long month. I swear we are usually very healthy, I am not sure how the heck we were knocked down. I am a freak about hand sanitizer and wiping shopping carts…..it has NOTHING to do with the fact Hudson likes to lick the shopping cart before I can wipe it down.

We started off with a terrible virus. Hudson and I were really cranky and in no mood to do anything. Fever, chills, and congestion. Once we recovered from that we both got the stomach flu. Mr.Man has never thrown up, needless to say it was interesting. Luckily, he felt much better quickly but me, gramma and aunties were knocked down for DAYS. We also shared with Papa and Daddy when they came back from work.

I scoured our house from top to bottom, with essential DoTerra oils; Frankincense, On Guard, and Lemon. Frankincense and On Guard are antibacterial and all over immune support. Lemon is a non-toxic cleaner, plus it smells AMAZING. Oils work great and I swear by them. In addition to DoTerra, I sanitized all the counter tops, doorknobs, light switches and any surface little fingers could touch. We are definitely on the mend now. I will be back posting in a day or so.

Tumble, Tuck, and Roll

Hudson and I have been going a little stir crazy lately. The weather has been much cooler than usually, WHOO HOO bring on FALL. Anyways, its been a tad too cold to spend all morning outside like we normally would. Also, he seems to be getting bored with his toys so a change is definitely necessary. But, he is too young for nursery school or day care, so we were on the hunt for something fun.

Gymnastics class it was! I thought it would be right up his alley since he is part MONKEY, I swear this kid is allergic to the ground. Today was our first class. We had a rough night so we arrived a bit cranky. He was in no mood to sit still but class started quickly. The coaches were patient and we moved quickly to the next activity. He was able to play on the bars, trampoline, foam pit and balance beam. His favorite was definitely the trampoline. Class was only 45 minutes which honestly was plenty, we were both EXHAUSTED by the end. Hudson barely ate lunch and happily took a 3 hour nap. I would call that a WIN!
