 linc is taking a break from the excitement and enjoying some water in his new transition sippy cup

 julius is figuring out how sippy cups work.

spring is here (with oxo tot)

on a nice day in the city, you will find this one glued to his scooter.

there is an elevated trail near our house called the [606]

every morning lincoln begs to go on the "66"

for being only two and a half years old, this kid flies. 

little bro is always down to tag along. 

he watches his big brother, who is happily in charge of getting diapers and wipes when needed. 

oxo tot makes it easy with their new [on the go wipes dispenser with diaper pouch]

stores a bunch of wipes and 5 diapers.

 

 rubber strap makes it easy to hang from a bag or stroller. 

 only his "favorite ones" go in his bag.

on a nice day in the city, you will find this one taking a nap in the fresh air.

clean living / happy healthy odor free with fresh wave

i'm always happy to get packages of cleaning products, especially from honest, natural brands. the less chemicals the better. i feel like a stinky house is bound to happen over here with 4 boys.. (2 babies, 1 adult and 1 dog) + me. i'm in no way a "cleaning queen", but i do love a clean house. 

air fresheners have never been my thing.. i feel like you spray them and then the area smells strongly of a specific perfume-y scent and its always hard to find that smell that everyone enjoys. 

what i love about fresh wave, is that it's actually cleaning the air. so instead of smelling a perfume, it smells like a bunch of fresh plants just walked in the door. 

the gel sits nicely in our bathroom. we have a three bedroom apartment, with only one bathroom. one bathroom for everyone to share, with the shower always running, when guests come visit, it can get a little stuffy in there. now it smells breezy and fresh and no need to light candles after a #2.. the gel will take care of that for you ;)

the spray works great for dog beds. this dog bed gets washed about once a month, but the dog unfortunately doesn't get as many baths. its nice to freshen up his area once in a while.. maybe give him a spray or two on the tush. (kinda kidding)

lastly, these are my favorite because its a compact air cleaner and can be placed in places like the car, or the bottom of your garbage can, or in a stale closet. that said, i have a new car and i still smell the new car smell, along with a fresh natural smell (no messy toddler stank.)
