Moving Moving Moving...

So we have boxes packed up as high as my shoulders (and I'm 6 foot tall..), a moving truck in our driveway, and almost everything ready to go! Its all coming together for us. I'll probably be MIA for the next few days, but when I get back, look for an update on my Gro-Via BioSoaker experience! I'm stripping my cloth diapers and packing them Tuesday before bed and putting Pepper in a disposable BioSoaker! We're excited and I hope it works out well for our adventure. Pepper is highly allergic to almost every disposable diaper out there (in fact we haven't found one we can use yet...) So we're hoping Gro-Via has a disposable option that works for us! This will allow me to use my shells, and have a soaker pad that I can throw away that is completely biodegradable! Also, according to the package they are flushable inserts! That will allow us to not have to worry about the laundry situation for our first few days there. Stay Tuned :) I'll also have an update on Kepler's preschool experience!

My Yearly Project - To be more Eco-Friendly

Over the next 12 months my family is going through a major change. Starting in 6 days, we'll be moving to a new state! We're so excited. We'll be  moving near my husband's first base that he'll be at in the Army. He'll be headed to SC in January for basic training, and then off to Ft. Eustis VA for AIT (Advanced Training) He'll be living on base for both, but since we'll be living near by him in VA, he'll be able to see the babies more often.

Along with our move, we're changing our lifestyle. For our children, we're making a change to become more eco-friendly. Each month, we've committed ourselves to changing one thing in our lives that will have a positive influence on our children and the world. Follow us on our journey!

For September: We bought bikes and baby seats. We can't wait to get them set up, and when we move we'll be using them as our primary mode of transportation.

October: My goal is to stop using plastic grocery bags and use reusable ones. We may start this a little earlier than October.

And more to come! I'll be adding to this list as we decide on our next ventures in changing our family and living healthier lives.

For now, back to packing! Virginia here we come!
