  1. Wow you've been busy! And I thought I had a busy day...

    Hmm... you've got me thinking about cavities now. My kid does not drink juice (just vegetable juice sometimes) but he does eat an awful lot of fruit. I wonder how young you can start to teach them to floss? At 2 he doesn't even want to brush his teeth half the time but I do it anyways whether he wants it or not... I just tell him "You'll thank me later. This is better then needing to go to the dentist!" :) How do you feel about fluoride? What kind of toothpaste do your kids use? We use Weleda Children's Gel. So far so good...

  20. oh, by the way...I am good at folding laundry if you ever need any extra help!!!

  21. I have two girls and although I lost most of my pregnancy weight, girls seem to widen you out and do things to your body that boys never do! Good luck! Considering your condition post-accident the fact that you've still managed to lose so much weight is great! Chasing all those kids and just looking at the joys of your day will hopefully make the rest drop off!

  27. That was a really clever post Brittany! I enjoyed reading that, and getting a little piece of what a day in the life of a family of 8 is like! And I quote...."Oiy!"

    But it sounds like a lot of fun, all at the same time. I love big families!

  28. What a fun post!! I just loved reading about your day like that! 22 lbs lost is awesome! It is harder to lose that prego weight with girls so I think you are doing FABULOUS!!!!
