Breastfeeding buddies.

Hey mamas. I have a very sweet friend Kayla, who has just had her first baby- identical twin boys! She is such a trooper, breastfeeding from the very beginning with no encouragement, even from the doctor! Well the boys are now around six weeks old and she has hit a rocky spot. She has also just started a blog about her breastfeeding adventure in hopes of finding some much needed encouragement and support. Please, I am begging you, overwhelm her with support! It's up to us to help, teach, and encourage the younger women. I am so proud of her amazing efforts, let's help this mama push through! Kayla, I love you! Just click on her name to get to her blog.

I have included a picture of me nursing Tim and holding Molly. Can you tell I was worn out? LOL!

My next post will be my 100th post! I am planning something big, so stay tuned!

Found your blog today and loving it! That picture of you nursing your baby and holding your toddler is all too familiar to me, too. I am nursing my 9 month old and have a 2 1/2 year old and a 4 year old to hold and play with. Crazy (but fun and wonderful) days! Have a great day! Lora

I'm not nursing and I don't look much different today. I just dragged myself off the couch to do some "schoolwork". I couldn't stay away from blogging too long. I missed you all.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
