My mom wanted to take some photo's of Porter for Valentine's day. This happens to be the day he turns 18 months as well...
This one is my favorite.
This one is my favorite.
I love these online timers that are offered and the kids seem to love them too. I find myself googling the website to find them so I thought I would put a post on my blog so I can find them easier. Hope you can find them helpful too.

Norwex is something that I have recently been introduce to. My friend at work started using the product and fell in love with it so much that now she is selling it. I am always skeptical of going to parties and buying products I will never use, but that has not been the case with Norwex for me.
What is Norwex?

What products have I tried?
My Mom has this dusting mitt and she uses it on her blinds. I am waiting to try it on mine.

I have used the body rags on my face instead of using facewash (therefore saved money.) Since doing so my face has been the clearest I can remember for a long time. It is nice because I keep one in my shower and one by my sink. It was convenient when we traveled to Disney World. It was really nice to throw my rags in my suitcase and not have to worry about my face wash spilling all over my bag. Not me in the picture below but I wish I did have a before and after photo.

When I think of chemical smells from cleaning I think of the toilet cleaner I put in my toilet bowl. Recently I purchased the toilet bowl brush it is a rubber like brush that comes with its own holder. It seemed to get the job done fast and I did not have to smell the bleach smell I got from my old cleaner. Oh and it has that small brush to clean under the edge of the bowl. Gross, I know, but who knew there was so much under there?

The envirocloth is great for really anywhere. I really need to get more of these. I currently use this in my kitchen. I can get quite a few uses out of it without washing. It is nice because I do not have to spray any anti-bacterial chemical to clean my counters or more importantly to clean Porter's hi-chair. Again, one more way I am saving money because I do not have to purchase cleaning sprays.

My next purchase is going to be the window cloth. This should eliminate the other main chemical I use while cleaning, Windex. I think the picture explains it all.

Convinced yet? If so, go here to purchase your next product. I suggest starting with the envirocloth.

I cannot believe Porter is now 18 months. People do not lie when they say time flies when you have kids. Before I know it he will be going to kindergarten...
In honor of his love for Choo Choo's we took him to Fritz's to see the train that delivers your food.
Went to the Lake last weekend and got see Uncle TJ and take a bath with our cousin Addie. (Which porter can say both names and he recognizes both without hesitation.)
We had our check up and Porter weighed 23 pounds in the 10% and height 33 3/4in in 34%.
Very busy loves to play and eat! Currently his favorite toys are choo choo and his kitchen with all of the food. Maybe one day he will become a chef. Favorite foods are any fruits and vegetables. His newly found love is cookies.
Favorite tv shows are Hot Dog (Mickey Mouse Club House), Choo Choo (Thomas and Friends), and sometimes Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Porter has many words but the ones we hear the most are "papa home?" "Dada home?" I hear these phrases at least 30 times a day.
Here Porter is having "man time" with Papa at Home Depot, on Tuesdays Papa has been picking up Porter to help us out.
Here is Dada and Porter taking a bubble bath together. Porter calls it "bubbles."
Two peas in a pod both playing on their tablets. So thankful for these two boys could not ask for a better role model for Porter.
Celebrating valentines and 18 months went to Union Station and Porters first dance at Hogan.
When I first started Porter's nursery it was suppose to be all sports. The more I shopped and looked through things Drew had from when he played baseball this nursery became all things baseball and Kansas City Royals themed.
Baseball lanterns from Porters baby shower.
Homemade blanket using Royals fleece.
Here are a few of my favorite recipes that would be great for the Super Bowl.
Most or all ingredients are from Aldi.
