I decided this summer I want to read children's books with my kids and then do a book party around what we learned. For instance I can read them "If you give a mouse a cookie" and we can bake cookies and drink it with milk.... or if I read "Where the wild things are" we can build a fort in the basement and do something crazy. I want simple summer of fun without a lot of money to spend. I think those are the best memories I have of my childhood... doing creative free things around the house/yard with friends and family. If you have any book ideas please let me know! I will post pictures so you can copy if you want. I am not sure how ellabrate or how often I will do them, but even if they are just like the simple things above I think it will be fun.

These pictures are both between 18- 23 weeks. My arm looks stupid in the yellow shirt but I was trying to get it out of the way so I could actually see I had a back lol

on pinterest I decided to try the whole vinegar/baking soda/ dryer sheet cleaning ideas. I can't believe how great these work!! I will NEVER buy regular cleaner again. Vinegar cleans mirrors, and is all purpose and it sparkles. It is also a deodrizer, it will stink up the place you are cleaning for a couple hours but when the vinegar smell goes away it smells so fresh.  Using an old dryer sheet really gets the soap scum off the shower doors. It's amazing, just add some water. I am trying some more magical home cleaners and tips and I will post those later.

Week 20- Feeling good, I used to eat fresh pinapple early in the pregnancy. I can't believe how fast time is flying.
Week 21-Doing Great!!! Found out nothing is wrong with the baby!!!
Week 22- still feeling great and feeling the baby move all the time, now she is doing hard kicks and moves that the kids can see by watching my stomach. hearty appetite
Week 23- The baby loves to kick when something is on my stomach, like the laptop. Have to be careful not to eat too much in fear of heartburn.
Week 24- People keep saying I don't look pregnant. I love being pregnant because I do carry small, but its after the pregnancy when the bump doesn't go away that I don't like. ;) Really tired lately
Week 25- Been really tired lately, go to dr tomorrow to see if I have mono *been exposed to it* or anemic. It is finally starting to feel real that I am going to have a baby in three months. Excited for summer with the kdis
