People think we are wacko for buying a vehicle so far away but for us it was not only a smart buy but a vacation too. We never ever leave our kids, we don't even go out to dinner alone so this was a long time coming. We flew from Michigan to Texas and then drove back! We saw so many cool things and really enjoyed our time away. We also could not wait ti get back to our babies!

I feel like they are in business just for me. I can not express just how happy I have been with my stay at several of their awesome hotels. If you are traveling with children this is the perfect place for you! Here are some things I love :</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Free weekday dinner! Holy crap! That's a $20 value for my family</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Free breakfast! We are not talking coffee and donuts...we are talking waffles, yogurt, fruit, bacon, eggs, sausage get the point? Again, saves me $20</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Free laundry! There is a washer and dryer for guest use free of charge! I am able to go home with all clean laundry instead of being stuck catching up on dirty duds! </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>The most comfortable beds and linens! I feel like I am at home. This is the only hotel where I actually get any sleep! </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Full Kitchen in your room! This saves my family major$$$. I can cook a healthy meal while away from home. No nasty fast food. They even provide all kitchen wear...dishes, pots pans etc</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I could go on forever but bottom line I highly recommend staying at this hotel the next time you are away from home.

We bought a truck today! As if we don't already have enough going on we will be flying from our home on the lake to Texas! Some are so confused as to why we would travel so far for a vehicle. Bottom line if I travel I get more for my money...even including travel cost! Plus it will be my hubby and I's (that's not good grammar) first actual trip together since having babies! I think we deserve it! It will be so odd though to be without the little monsters for three days! Its about 25 hours worth of driving...hope we don't hate each other by time we get back! HA!

I bought this gate at Walmart and kept my receipt figuring he would be able to climb this one too, but to my surprise he cant get his little monkey feet to get any grip on the slippery metal surface. It so easy for my big boys to pass through without having to climb over and they simply push it closed behind them. I am a big fan of this gate and it has a color guide circle so I can tell from a distance if it is latched or not. This was a great safety buy for my family! </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8881941111511706357-494596550129249405?l=jpsuess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G-BJsrDzv-yC33BHcmlufRgHF8w/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G-BJsrDzv-yC33BHcmlufRgHF8w/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G-BJsrDzv-yC33BHcmlufRgHF8w/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G-BJsrDzv-yC33BHcmlufRgHF8w/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/RGoDi/~4/Voa8_mcW6BU" height="1" width="1"/>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08329603442053876817noreply@blogger.com0http://jpsuess.blogspot.com/2011/04/keep-em-prisoner.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881941111511706357.post-9965849842103932142011-04-04T08:20:00.000-07:002011-04-04T10:25:45.944-07:002011-04-04T10:25:45.944-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiRYy6b1E4c/TZnievan0BI/AAAAAAAAAVI/YgTjVIedUIk/s1600/0004740610375_180X180.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591749430109261842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qiRYy6b1E4c/TZnievan0BI/AAAAAAAAAVI/YgTjVIedUIk/s400/0004740610375_180X180.jpg" /></a> Xzavier booster seat..Graco booster $25.50 <br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jjnTDZ3nI6A/TZnieTeR7lI/AAAAAAAAAVA/33vk4gkzEJk/s1600/0003288416560_180X180.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591749422608412242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jjnTDZ3nI6A/TZnieTeR7lI/AAAAAAAAAVA/33vk4gkzEJk/s400/0003288416560_180X180.jpg" /></a> Shade...Graco Big Kid DLX High back Booster $52.54 <br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fm1GUraBXu4/TZnid8Vlm1I/AAAAAAAAAU4/6njQLmG9Dp4/s1600/0004740609508_300X300.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591749416397937490" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fm1GUraBXu4/TZnid8Vlm1I/AAAAAAAAAU4/6njQLmG9Dp4/s400/0004740609508_300X300.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Liam and Grayson ....Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Multi Use Bravo $138.00 each</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I recieved word via email this morning that the insurance company will be covering the cost to replace the car seats! whoo hooo!

Even though I was by myself my thought s instantly turned to ..." the kids! ". I looked back into the rear of my truck and all I saw was chaos. All the boys car seats were twisted around , one was thrown to the front of the truck and the other was completely upside down even though it was belted in! </div><br /><div>Car seat safety has always been important to me but honestly, I'm always in a hurry and just rush to get everyone in the car, belted and on the road. The unexpected-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ness</span> of the accident and the realization of just how quickly things can go wrong had really hit home just how important it is to have them buckled in RIGHT! </div><br /><div>My insurance company is fighting with me about replacing the car seats that were in the crash, claiming they were unoccupied therefore did not sustained any stress during the crash. Um, hello...one was THROWN to the front of my vehicle! I will not accept this answer so I called my local sheriffs department as well as the children's coalition here that works with families to make sure they have safe car seat. I also called all the car seat manufactures and the say unanimously, ALL CAR SEAT INVOLVED IN A CRASH MUST BE REPLACED! I will continue this claim until they do the right thing and replace my seats and never ever glance over or rush just how my seat is installed. Please, Please, Please be sure that your children are in the correct seat for them and it is properly installed. Many communities have event run by the police/fire departments to help parents with this. Take advantage!

Why do think your supply is low / why do you desire an increase ?</div><br /><div>2.) How is baby's latch?</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>If your little one is growing healthy and strong, regardless how much milk you SEE ( whether it be in a pumped bottle or wherever) Please remember, your boobs are not in love with your pump, they are in love with your baby. Pumping is no way a good indicator of what your baby gets.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>For whatever reason you wish to increase your supply, I believe one should always try the most natural first. Here are some sure fire ways to boost your supply.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Be sure baby is latch on properly. Correcting baby's latch can drastically improve milk output. (more later on exactly what that is ) check out <a href="http://www.askdrsears.com/">http://www.askdrsears.com/</a> for some great tips and photos</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Be sure to drink plenty of water! Water is really the best source of hydration. Caffeinated drinks and sugary things can lead you to dehydration so steer clear if you are having an issue. Consume all the water you want! My advice is 64 oz or more daily</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Be sure you are consuming enough calories~ This is not the time for crash dieting. We should consume between 1500 to 1800 while nursing ( at least) . Some will tell you to eat whatever you want , that is has no effect on breastfeeding, I disagree. What we eat has an affect on EVERY part of our bodies. Your deserve to eat healthy food and have a healthy body. Eat well and your milk supply will thank you. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Eat Oatmeal! </div><br /><div>If nothing else oatmeal is good for mum. It is said that is can correct iron deficiencies that cause a drop in supply.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Mothers Milk Tea</div><br /><div>Teas to aid in lactation contain herbs such as anise, fennel, coriander, fenugreek, blessed thistle. They are used to promote healthy lactation. As always, be sure to research herbal use for yourself and consult if you have any questions or concerns. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Pumping </div><br /><div>If you are determined to increase your milk supply naturally you may want to consider pumping on the opposite side as baby nurses. This tells your body that you are breastfeeding twins and therefor kicks up the milk production. You can also pump shortly after a feeding to fully empty the breast and trigger " a fill up " </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Those are my natural tips for increasing your milk supply, in the future we can get more in depth with herbal supplements to increase milk supply ( like fenugreek and brewers yeast)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8881941111511706357-4462752322102879226?l=jpsuess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/29qrxiBwqTQaAEkr7IoZLS91gwM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/29qrxiBwqTQaAEkr7IoZLS91gwM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/29qrxiBwqTQaAEkr7IoZLS91gwM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/29qrxiBwqTQaAEkr7IoZLS91gwM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/RGoDi/~4/v1oVRWTs188" height="1" width="1"/>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08329603442053876817noreply@blogger.com1http://jpsuess.blogspot.com/2011/03/thirsty-thursday-do-you-want-to.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881941111511706357.post-5718277320658808262011-03-31T12:47:00.000-07:002011-03-31T13:10:40.896-07:002011-03-31T13:10:40.896-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eKonlQDPICI/TZTcK3L7m-I/AAAAAAAAAT4/lrMnYtQJSnQ/s1600/51APWYMKYNL__SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp%252CTopRight%252C12%252C-18_SH30_OU01_AA115_.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 115px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 115px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590335116644424674" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eKonlQDPICI/TZTcK3L7m-I/AAAAAAAAAT4/lrMnYtQJSnQ/s320/51APWYMKYNL__SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp%252CTopRight%252C12%252C-18_SH30_OU01_AA115_.jpg" /></a> <br /><div>Yeah, I know..it's Thursday.

The things that he comes up with just floors me! He is so sassy for a three year old and never hesitates to put anyone in their place. It is well known around our house that he is the BOSS! He always has some crazy story or thought and today when I got him out if the tub, I said " Liam, you have beautiful blue eyes." He shouted (really he shouted) back at me " MOM! They are not blue the are green....like yours!" I softened my heart that he wanted his eyes to be like mine. Honestly I really don't know what the color of his eyes are...they are really wild unique. I love this stage in his life. He is super smart and super feisty and I love being entertained by this 3 going on 16 little boy.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8881941111511706357-6060740274611921176?l=jpsuess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IQJ54N686BKIUtlcVt7_uGKd198/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IQJ54N686BKIUtlcVt7_uGKd198/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IQJ54N686BKIUtlcVt7_uGKd198/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IQJ54N686BKIUtlcVt7_uGKd198/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/RGoDi/~4/ip3ZUDMutBc" height="1" width="1"/>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08329603442053876817noreply@blogger.com3http://jpsuess.blogspot.com/2011/03/favorites-of-heart.html
