Sorry I didn't post much this week. It's been a little crazy over here with both kids up all night every night. It makes me bleary and disconnected, and I have trouble getting stuff done. Little Sir was up crying randomly for about 10 nights straight - last night was good so I'm hoping it is over. I did a post about that on our family blog. Also he went 2 days without napping which contributed to me getting nothing at all done by way of blogging.

Non-natural-parenting things I did this week: vaccinated Little Lady, put Little Lady on Prevacid (finally) for her reflux, let Little Sir watch too much TV, suddenly moved Little Sir's bedtime to 1 hour earlier (you're "supposed" to do that gradually, or just let them determine their own bedtime).

Some natural-parenting-type things I did this week: gave Little Sir homeopathic Kids Calms Forte
to help him sleep better, took them both to their last chiropractic visit, bought 2 water slings to hopefully use with Little Lady when I take the kids to splash parks next week.--- 4 ---
Speaking of splash parks, the other reason we haven't gone to any this year yet is partially because I don't have a swimsuit. There are 2 reasons I haven't been to the store, and those reasons are my children. Whom I am not taking into a store to try on swimsuits. Can you imagine anything more painful than trying on swimsuits? Yes, it is trying on swimsuits with 2 children under the age of 2 in the dressing room.
Also, I am not even sure where to go. I haven't bought a swimsuit since we got married more than 5 years ago. I can't wear the ones I have because they are all 2-piece suits that would show my stretch-marked, pouchy stomach, which I am trying to ignore.
What I would really like is a nice retro suit like this one:
It makes me cry that this suit is only available in Large and Extra Large. Just because I'm not Large doesn't mean I don't need to camouflage something, people!
Anyone have any ideas where I can get a similar retro-looking suit? Preferably with the built-in tummy control like this one had.

In case you are wondering about the water slings/carriers for I bought splash parks and pools - here are the two I've ordered:
Water baby carrier from One Step Ahead
So, we'll see how either of these might work at a splash park with Little Lady.
If I ever get a swimsuit.

In case you thought I'd forgotten, I am working on Part 3 of my natural skincare/makeup posts and also the Before and After of our bedroom switch for Part 2 of the Love the {Home} You're With series. There will be vlogs involved in the Love the {Home} You're With.

I have no idea how to pronounce the word "vlog". I feel like pronouncing it as one word is weird but vee-log also sounds strange. Plus, it's not really a video-blog exclusively, since the posts always contain writing in addition to the video!
