Thank you Johnson & Johnson's

After reading about the lawsuit online, and doing some research of my own, we have decided to go even more organic. We already cloth diaper, recycle, and have switched to organic eggs, dairy and meat. I was so appalled by the number of chemicals the FDA allows into our everyday items. Call me stupid (I already have) but for some odd reason I had blinders on that told me that "if the government allows it, it must be safe" HAHAHAHA, boy was I wrong! I'm seriously considering moving to Europe!! So I bought some organic baby wash and shampoo, and will be working on switching out our household cleaners this week. Thanks to a friend of mine, Tara, I was able to check out the hazard level of most of our cosmetics at http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/. What an awesome site! I'm already feeling crunchier! Luckily, my husband agrees with most of the changes (we'll see how he likes the organic milk tomorrow, *crossing my fingers*). My only hope is that we somehow find a way to make organics more cost effective. While I would love to totally change everything in my household, its just not do-able with as expensive as most of the products are. Fortunately, cloth diapering has saved us money, which allows for some wiggle room in our grocery/non-grocery budget! And, Chloie's bum is so much cutier!

College...


I finally took my placement test today! I didnt do as well as I hoped, but considering its been almost 6 years since Ive been in school, I did pretty good. Now I wish I would have jumped in right after high school, instead of putting it off as long as I have. I registered for classes, and start March 29th! Yikes! Im seriously nervous about everything. I *hate* new situations, new places, new people, etc. And to add, its downtown, which means lots of traffic, one way streets, etc. But....I just keep telling myself "Its for my baby".


Bear with me...

I am new to the blogging world, but I figured I may as well jump in.
