Yesterday at the store they had samples of an organic pumpkin flax granola cereal. I was shocked when my boys tried it and liked it! So I bought some at a whopping $7 a box!  Shocked I figured it's better than the sugar cereals they have been eating, and I have been trying to buy organic when I can if the price isn't to much.


I hate when things take awhile to dawn on me but something just did. I know for a fact that there is a brand of cereal that makes organic cereals targeted for kids. And I know that they are also cheaper then $7 a box. If you have an organic/natural section in your grocery store you should look for them. I think the brand is Nature's Path (not sure) but I know they have animals on the boxes and that they have kid cereal names. Just trying to save you a few bucks without having to sacrifice nutrition.  Cool

Yup, nature's path--Gorilla Munch is one of them.  Sort of like kix but sweeter and crunchier.  There's also a Koala one.  You can get them at Trader Joe's, if you have one.

No, I don't work for Trader Joe's, I just love them! Grin

Thanks Tanai and Skyfire, I'll keep a look out for those. I know Fred Meyer carries organics, and Albertsons started carrying some too. I don't have a Trader Joes though. I know Costco even carries a bit of organic products as well.
I really like the cereal though! I might have to keep it for myself and buy the boys another organic cereal.


I bought a Wii Fit today. Whoa, I am out of shape Shocked. My back has been hurting me all day, and the Wii Fit helped a little. I am going to try and use it everyday. I have yet to go on a bike ride.
Went clearence shopping today. I got some 18" metal barn stars painted like the American flag reg. 7.99 on sale for .79! A few shirts for $4 each, and some other left over Fourth of July decorations for cheap (package of 6 or 8 bows in the flag print reg. 2.99 for .29 and some garland for .19). My house is decorated in an Americana/ Primitive theme, and I do my Christmas tree in Americana as well.

I was thinking of buying a Wii Fit. Once you use it a bit more, I'd love to know your opinion of it.

I will let you know!  Wink

Going to condition the ends today.
Oh, my poor back. I hope I don't have a kidney infection! Tongue As it hurts on either side, right around that area. Look what happens when I start drinking the 6-8 glasses of water a day, I get a kidney infection! I knew water was bad for you! LAMO I'm going back to sodas! Jk, but really owwwwy! I guess I need some cranberry juice.
Still getting things ready for the fair. I haev been neglecting my house cleaning and now I finally must do laundry! Ugh, I also need to look into getting a new furnace filter, as mine has been in for 6 mo. and I can tell it's time to change when the dust starts to really show up, even though I dust everything once a week and I actually suck the dust up with my vacuum. Seems to work better than swirling it around with a cloth and in the air only to deposit right back on the furniture. By doing that I have also cut back on allergies for the boys.
Anyway, I am off to meet my trainer. It's a darn good thing she can't hear me, she wouldn't like what I tell her! LOL Maybe I should have went with the guy trainer!

Conditioned the ends and left it on while I used no poo to wash scalp. Then applied oil, very little amount of gel, and set it free mist. Hair once again looks brilliant! Lats night I did however notice that when I itched my scalp, my fingernails had something under them, and this morning, even though I washed my scalp, I seem to have dandruff or soemthing. I am not surewhat this is attributed to, maybe I need to do a vinegar rinse? My scalp wasn't, and usually isn't, really itchy. It only gets that way when I don't wash my scalp for a while. I need to solve the mystery fast, as I hate to have nice curls and people seeing the grody stuff in my hair.

I'll be working Wednesday night at the fair with J. Since nobody could take that shift. I hope J doesn't get too tired, as the shift is from right around the time he gets off to midnight, and he has to get up and work at 5 a.m. the next morning. All this after working a 12 hour shift prior. Not to mention fair days are busy with problems!
My Mom and Dad came and took the boys early this mornig out to breakfast and for rides on the four wheeler. J and I went on quite a bike ride while they were gone. Oh, my poor knees and legs! I have worked out for three days in a row now and my abs (where ever they may be hiding) are sore, and after biking my legs feel like jello when I walk. I sure hope this helps me to lose some weight! I need to find a new bike seat, as the original one on the bike gets lost under my big booty, and the one I bought to replace it doesn't have the banana part in between the legs, but a wider seat, and i constantly feel like I am slipping off and having to scoot myself back on. I don't dare try to stand and pedal for fear my legs will dislocate.

I had some issues with my scalp when using the no poo all the time.  I started using the low poo and that, along with oil scalp massage before I wash has really stopped the gunk.  The no poo is so moisturizing I think it makes it hard for the dead skin to wash off.  Also, make sure you are really, really rinsing after washing with no poo.

I have dry skin allover, so I get itchy.  I would do the acv rinses anyway because I want my conditioner to penetrate my hair and it makes it shiney.  Then, I use it to keep from getting itchy.

Thanks Sakina! I am thinking of ordering more one condition, and may have to try the low poo instead of the no poo. I just have so darn much of no poo left, I hate for it to go to waste, but I also hate to have this problem all the time.
I think I'll do a vinegar rinse in the morning.

You're welcome.  I also have quite a bit of no poo in my shower.  I keep it to use once in awile.  You might find you need it in the winter, when you've got the furnace running.  I live in Arizona, so I'll just use it to shake things up a bit.

LOL yeah, I don't suppose you have the winters we have here! I have been to AZ, I was in Jr. High and my Dad was taking some college classes. He was part of the Business Professionals of America at the College here and they had some compitetions in AZ, so for a vaca my Mom and I went along. It was fun. We went white water rafting, etc.. I also saw Charles Barkly at a gas station! The only thing was the heat! I would hate to be stuck with no AC when the power goes out!

Hair I ordered a small bottle of Low Poo and a big bottle of One Condition last night. My hair is doing really well, and I am going to do an acv rinse today before conditioning to see if I can get more of that crud out of my hair. Other than that I am still continuing my vitamins, fish oil and biotin.

I am surprised that my legs aren't sore from my bike ride yesterday! I have been using the Wii fit every morning. I really like it! I don't know how much of a workout it would be for someone that is pretty much already fit, but they might have an easier time with it in the beginning than me. I really like the yoga. Smiley
Fair starts Wednesday, and I in no way feel ready! Tongue I have to go pick up some printer ink so I can get everyone a packet with the information and tickets. Tuesday we have to go pick up the mule atv that is being donated for us to use. We always add lights and a siren to amke people move! I guess the QRU/EMS sign on the front isn't enough!  Roll Eyes
We have a basement w/ bathroom in our house and of course there is a sump pump in the basement. It is hidden behind a panel in one of the bedroom closets. I ventured down there to help the boys get ready for bed and when I stepped in the closet the carpet was WET! Shocked So, I figured the sump pump wasn't working and it flooded the area. Come to find out my littlest boy had an accident earlier while trying to get a shirt down to wear. Roll Eyes Oh man, I really hated cleaning that up, specially because my carpet cleaner isn't working like it should. I need to add some white vinegar to some hot water, and go back over it with the carpet cleaner. The vinegar should help make the carpet 1. softer and 2. help dissolve any smell that's left.

WOOT WOOT! Keeping working out hunnay and you'll be looking amazing in no time.  Smiley Pretty soon everyone will be saying you had three kids!?!  Shocked Where'd you put them you're so tiny!! I'm great at exercise support because I'm loving what it's doing for me and I know it can work for you, especially now that you've found exercise routines that work for you. Keep it up!

I talked to my DH about it and he said he was thinking about getting our daughter a Wii for xmas.  I asked him if he would get me the 'fit, and he looked shocked and said he couldn't get his wife a fitness thing, it would be implying I was fat.  I just rolled my eyes.  I think this might be his way of throwing me off the trail.

LOL, that's funny Skyfire! My husband would never think about it before he bouht it for me. I usually have to say what I think his actions or words imply before he understands that it probably wasn't the best thing! Grin

Hair: Going to condition the ends today. Vinegar rinse helped, but there are still some little specks. Hopefully they'll work themselves out. Wednesday I'll have to use the sun shield spray that ouidad sent me, as I am sure the atv mule we will be driving, won't have a roof, they usually never do.  Roll Eyes

Other: Not looking forward to working Wednesday night. I haven't gone on any emergency calls since I passed the First Responder class. While I did learn everything easily, and I still recall everything when we are reviewing in class (we have to refresh every so often to keep certification), I haven't gone on any calls in almost a year! I am scared I'll have to get on my knees and do CPR, or something else and my kness just can't handle that. That's partly the reason I am working out, in hopes of strengthening them up. The field and the book are two different things!
Had to go to the store again yesterday and they had samples of a carrot, pineapple and whatever else in it. Everyone took a sample, J and I didn't mind it, my oldest and middle hated it, and my youngest LOVED it!  Cheesy He had 4!
