relief from a painful diaper rash

Take a little bit of this.

Pour it into one of these. Tie a knot at the opening.

Toss it into one of these.

Add your child.Happy to announce all little bottoms in this family are happy and almost back to normal. (Get it.. BACK to normal... haha). I did this oatmeal soak--along with patting him dry with a cotton towel after each changing, letting him get a little air down there and using some ointment. But I give most of the credit to the oatmeal soak which reduced a ton of redness.

My sister bought Ezra this AWESOME shirt awhile back on Hanson.net. If you like it, you can buy it here. Dudeski .. if you didn't know.. I love Hanson.. and she loves Hanson.. and my son(s) will love Hanson. This shirt obviously was inspired by their song "Where's the Love".

I hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day!

see this snow covered car?

We OWN IT!
Yesterday we were able to pay it off!!!

For the past 2 years Tony and I have shared one car. With me not working, money has been extremely tight.. so recently we had been praying that God would bless us with the chance to get another car. And whaddya know.. my Grandparents left us inheritance money. We're able to pay off our car and buy another car for me! We're so so so THANKFUL!

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!

The view from his door.
I love that lion picture. It's made from tin.- (Target)

Close up
Lamp- (TJ Maxx Homestore) Giraffe- (Goodwill) EDIT: My Mom corrected me.. he's from a garage sale for only .75 CENTS! Gotta LOVE a deal!

These wall hangings are above his changing table.

He loves to stare at the zebras.I really really love this giraffe,
thanks for sharing your great find with us Grandma!

But this is what makes the entire room.

There are a few things I still need to do.

I plan to paint a giant 'K' above his crib in green paint, a couple shades lighter than the color on the wall.

Need to get knobs put on the dresser and changing table.

Need to paint the mirror on his dresser and hang it on that wall.

I really like the room and it was put together for SO cheap. I hope you like it too!
