Laundry much?

Laundry. It is actually one chore I don't mind doing. Which is a good thing since there is always so much of it! I have used several different laundry products over the years and haven't always been brand loyal.

A while back I signed up to be a Purex Insider. We have the privilege of trying out products before they become widely available to the general public. Fun, huh?!

Last week I received a sample bottle of their Purex Crystals Softener. I will admit here that I don't normally use fabric softener (EECK!!)
My skin is quite sensitive and Kennedy's can be as well. So I had cut that out of my laundry routine. But I decided to give the Crystals a try. And I was happily surprised. I have used it on all my loads in the last few days and am loving the smell! YUM! It was super easy to use - just pour it directly into the machine. And best of all, none of us have noticed any skin irritation from it!Here’s the game-changer for Purex. Purex Complete Crystals is 92% natural, not oil based. Other fabric softeners, both liquid and sheets are oil based. (Did you know that?! I never knew that!!) They coat your clothes in a thin layer of oil, which build up over time. That’s why your towels aren’t as absorbent after using an oil-based softener. Hmmm...never knew that either - did you?

You can use Purex on your towels, sportswear, and performance wear (like wicking fabrics, etc).

You can also use it on children’s sleepwear! Purex Complete Crystals is the first major fabric softener that is 100% safe to be using on children’s sleepwear because it does not interfere with the flame retardant coating on the clothing.

Purex Complete Crystals will also help your whites to stay white, and your brights to be bright. When you wash with an oily softener, that oil dulls the material and causes it to pick up dirt and other debris that will not wash out. Purex Complete Crystals is 92% natural and not oil based, so your clothes will last longer and look better. Just the thought of all that gross oil on my clothes kind of icks me out!

Baby Reveal & Winner!

We had our appointment this morning!!! We put Kennedy in her "Big Sister" t-shirt and brought her along. Today we were at the perinatalogists office and we saw a doctor we hadn't seen before. To say she had no bedside manner was an understatement! BUT, we got the news we were hoping for! The baby is looking perfectly healthy! Praise God! We are so thankful for that report! After the appointment I took Kennedy to get some balloons! And I attempted to get her photo with the balloons to send to all our family and friends via phone. But it was so darn windy I didn't have much luck! The best photo ended up being one we took in the car! So are you ready for the answer?! Boy or Girl? Take a look!!!

We are all very excited!!!!!

Now I know you all want to know who the winner is!!!!
It is obviously a GIRL and the heartrate was 153!!!!!

SO happy for you!!!

Hugs!!

Play Ball & a Giveaway!

I just wanted to share these cute photos of Kennedy and Daddy playing ball in the back yard! I got the tee out but she didn't want to use it! She wanted us to pitch her the ball! She also didn't want shoes and didn't really want coaching! She kept facing Jeff instead of facing sideways!!

And then it was Kennedy's turn to pitch it to Daddy! It was fine until the second time he hit the ball. It was a line drive to her cheek! Thank goodness it was a plastic ball! Poor girl!
We have really enjoyed watching her try lots of different sports this last year!

In other news, we will be learning the gender of our next baby on Wednesday the 28th!

I thought it would be fun to have you all guess the gender and heartrate! The closest guess will get a box of scrapbooking goodies!!!! If you want to make a guess just leave it in the comment section! I will be doing this on my creative blog as well!!!
