Living La Vida Shopping Loca

I am a parent with young children, a busy work schedule and tend to not have the best eating habits. I had seen infomercials on the Jack Lelane juice and decided to give it a try. I tend to drink a lot of soda and figured this would help cut down on some of my calorie intake. As I top 325 lbs and am 6′ 2” I could stand to lose a few pounds. At first I tried a simple concoction of apple and oranges and found that it made a great drink to get me started in the morning.

After trying this basic fruit I decided to get a little more creative and try kiwi and strawberries, and eventually I’ve even ventured to try blood oranges, and other exotic flavors. I have found this to be a huge part of my new daily diet. I have successfully substituted all soda with juice and water.

Some of our favorite things to do with our masticating juicer include taking the juice and making frozen Popsicle from the juice, including the juice in a fruit smoothie, making ice cubes from the juice, or even using the juice in cooking just to add a little flavor. You can even use the juice obtained to make some amazing adult beverages!

My husband and I were very excited. We would each have our OWN bathroom!!! I would have no “boy” stuff in mine. He could have his “manly” room. We had a bathroom in our master bedroom that was okay when we bought the house, but now needed some serious attention.

There is also a smaller bathroom one step outside of our bedroom that we rarely used because it needed even more attention. Well now we had decided that the small one (of course) would be his and the bigger one in the master bedroom would be mine. We had talked with three contractors. Each had a different bid. We decided to not go with the lowest or highest bid. We chose the middle one. We had also done our homework and researched each company and talked to lots and lots of people who had experience with all three. Then we made our decision.

We picked out granite tile, faucets, showers, quartz counters, http://quartzkitchencountertops.org/quartz-vs-granite-counters/ you can learn more about granite and quartz there, and were ready to go. We are fortunate enough to be able to separate our ranch house into two parts. So we closed the door to our master bedroom side and we went to live in the guest room and share one small, guest bathroom. The fun begins! Both bathrooms had to be gutted and taken down to the studs. This of course created a huge mess in that part of the house. Dust was flying everywhere! I went back to see if the workers needed anything to drink and saw that they were covered in white drywall dust. I told them to put on masks, shook my head and left. Meanwhile I needed to use the bathroom and my husband was in there. So I waited and waited. continue reading…

Our next shopping mission is going to be for kitchen appliances. The ones we have are at least twenty years old and the repair bills over the last three years has made keeping these more expensive than it is to just buy new ones.

Our dishwasher hasn’t actually worked in at least a month and I’ve been washing dishes by hand. We researched the best dishwashers and are only going to choose from the top rated appliances according to Consumer Reports.

I don’t know about you but I just want what is best for my babies.

I have twin girls actually and I fret over their safety. I just spent about a week agonizing over what is the best convertible car seat to buy for them. I finally figured it out after asking the internet at least a millions questions about finding the best car seat.

Now that I can get my babies around in the car it’s time to think about how am I going to get them out and around the block with me on my daily walks. I’ll need a stroller. A stroller built for two actually. One that isn’t too hard to push and that will turn nicely. continue reading…

We spend as much as one third of our life in bed, so it is absolutely essential to choose the proper bedding from the vast array of models bedding stores offer nowadays. The bed and the bedding it is covered in is the focal point of the bedroom, so the design of the sheets is just as important as the quality. continue reading…
