Top 5 in 2009

I hope this post finds everyone happy, healthy and slightly hungover from last night! I thought I would keep it fun and do a post about the top 5 things that happened in 2009 that I hope go away in 2010. Let's begin shall we?

Jon and KateWhere to start with these two.... I think I watched the first two episodes of the last season and then got mad and stopped watching. They do have 8 kids right? Ok, just making sure. Side note: Jon, Ed Hardy is not the only brand that makes t-shirts and Kate, sunglasses come in colors other than white, oh and femullets not attractive.

The war on terror

Ok, let me clarify on this one so we don't start a debate: I do support the men and women overseas risking their lives to defend us, I just think it's gone on far to long and we've lost sight of why we are there. Time to come home guys and gals, time to come home!

Swine Flu

I haven't seen any stories on it lately so maybe it is actually going away?

1980's fashion comeback

Just say no people....just say no....

A certain former governor that claims global warming, you know, isn't real

I wonder if she can see the glaciers melting from her house, or if it's just because God is hugging us closer?

What are your top 5 stories/people/things you wish would disappear in 2010?

Where's the dog?

The kids and I laid pretty low today, it was over 100 degrees outside (yuck!). Aaron was a definite cuddler for the majority of the day, especially in the afternoon, mainly because we decided we didn't need afternoon naps. Joy...
Aaron did learn a new trick, if you will, he can now make farting noises on my leg. And let me tell you. he is proud! He will sit there and keep doing that for like 5 minutes, it's disgusting! Not only is my leg covered in drool, it's also covered in snot! But, he thinks it's hilarious, and really it kind of is. So kudos to Aaron, you truly are a little boy!
Jill's obsession with the dog has reached an all time high. Morgan decided to hide out for a while by the sliding door, and Jill was not having it. She ran over to the makeshift gate (as you will see in a moment) and was signing/saying dog like crazy. Morgan wouldn't even turn around, she was probably thinking the same thing I was, "don't these kids need a nap or something? I know I do!". Here's the video of Jill signing, it's too cute!

Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I started reading a new magazine called Body and Soul (it's from Martha Stewart) and it's all about green living. It's pretty decent. It definitely has a lot of good green living tips and is very "zen". Some articles are a little too let's go hang with the Dali Lama for me, but all in all it's a pretty awesome magazine.
OH! And because my job is awesome and I get to try a ton of products, I got the new starter kit from Nellie's All Natural. Um, it's awesome! The new dryer balls are PVC free AND you can put the scented soy fragrance sticks in them so your clothes smell like lavender. It's awesome! We're actually going to give away a starter kit next week (I think) on the blog. I'll post the date a few days early on here so you know when to check it out.
That's all that's going on over here, hopefully the weather is semi-nice tomorrow. Oh, and in case you were wondering Jon and Kate filed for divorce and I think it's hilarious that it was leaked to the media before they could announce it on their show. Take that TLC! (I know that wasn't nice)

Healthy Mom and Baby...I mean Babies :)

We went to the Healthy Mom and Baby event at Whole Foods today with Lani, Lily, Ben and Cameron. It was neat, they had a few tables set up in the back with all the organic items that they carry for babies. Plus, we got a goodie bag from Whole Foods! After that we walked around the Sand Lake farmers market. It was ok, I like the one in Celebration better, there is more of a selection. We're heading that way tomorrow morning with Lani and April. I'm really trying to do more organic and eco-friendly purchasing this year, it's my big new years resolution. I've gotten a lot of tips from Sara Snow's website (www.sarasnow.com). If you watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 she was on an episode. When you really look at things and see just how much stuff is put into the food you eat you would definitely go organic, or at least local. That's about it over here, hope all is well with you!
