I'm sorry.
Lately I stink at blogging. There is no real, legit reason. Just life.
And in theory, I should be better at chronicling these life experiences so I will be able to use this blog as a memory jogger.
Yet I don't blog.
I'm sorry.
I will do better!! Promise!!

Big Boy
Time has flown.
He will be 6 months--tomorrow.
It has been a blur of awesomeness. Birth, nursing, exhaustion, more nursing, first smile, nurse again.
We do ALOT of nursing in this house.
We stick to what we are good at.
180ish days went by so fast. I wish I could have them back. Times 3 kids. I want them all to stay babies, it's was easier then.
But it's amazing to see them grow and turn into bigger little balls of awesome-nosity.
Yeah that's a word.
Awesome-nosity.
I just made it up. So it counts. But I digress, here is my adorable little man...growing bigger by the second.
Heavy sigh.
He has these fantastic little elf ears, and cheeks that look like he is storing acorns for the winter.
I do love him so.
More and more each second.
Motherhood rawks.

Big G Cereal and DC Comics #MyBlogSpark Giveaway
It goes without saying that when you have a son-you know superheroes.
All forms and types of superheroes. Whether the superhero is a popular well known character, or the one your creative child just made up while in the privacy of their bedroom, they are all enjoyable.

In my review pack from MyBlogSpark I got:
Surprise ruined.
However, insert SUPER HAPPY BOY--ACTION FIGURES AND LUCKY CHARMS!!! Sahwheet!
Plus Bonnie decided to play nice and she read the ENTIRE comic book set to Clyde while sitting on the couch together. It was their sibling bonding time. Now she wants her own set...so we will probably be trolling the cereal aisle on the hunt for her.
Wanna know the best part?? One fabulous "The Dill-io" reader will also win the same prize pack I received!!
Easiest Part...just leave a comment on this post!! Giveaway closes in 3 days--its a quickie!! So what are you waiting for you..write a comment on this post!!

Tips for keeping your family flu free #lysolcoldandflu
Its getting to be that time again. Fall- which I love, flu season-which I do not love. And with young ones in the house and a new baby...it seems like we are a rescue haven for germs. They love us. They want to live with us forever. And make more baby germs. Eww.
Yuck. I know. So I try to combat and discourage their setttlement in our house and bodies in a myriad of ways. And I have developed a few tried and true methods that seem to work in our house to keep the sickies away from the house of the Dill-io.
Here they are
1. Wash Hands. After everything. Playing outside, pre-eating, playgrounds, soccer practice...etc.(like duh, you say but you would be surprised how much little stinkers like my four year old boy try to put off hand washing) My
2. Sanitize the toys on a monthly basis. In hot water and vinegar or bleach. Let them soak in a tub for a bit and air dry in the tub after the kids go to bed and wah laaa wake up to clean toys! (This tip is mostly reserved for my 2 boys...they tend to be the grossest ones who put toys in places...like a nose or in the mud)
3. Change bed sheets and blankets weekly--this is especially important because of school age children...the germs love coming home with my daughter and trying to plant themselves in her bed while she sits in her school clothes on her bed and does homework. Nope. Not gonna happen in this house.
4. Eat lots of fruits and veggies --eating right and getting the good foods in little bellies and parent bellies always make for healthier happier and less sick kids
5. Sanitize doorknobs and light switches-- I am a tad Obsessive Compulsive about this one. I do it all the time. Like at least once a day. Something outrageous like a bazillion (well not really but A LOT) germs reside on knobs and switches and those germs love to jump from the switch plate to little hands.
6. Wash in hot water. I know this is completely ungreen and not crunchy of me but I do wash sheets, coats and blankets in hot water. Hot water kills germs and bacteria-its a fact. And in my opinion the only good flu germ is a dead flu germ.
7. Stay away from other sick people. (Huge DUH factor here) When I know a family member or friend is sick I immediately put on the brakes with hanging or being around them. No offense to the grandma or friends who read this but if you are sick--know the Dill-io's will not be logging in some hanging time until you are healthy again!!
These are not miracle tips, but I do find that they help us to stay healthy and fight the flu season off with a stick in this house!! I hope they help you out as well!!
What are your good tips to combat flu season??

Big baby
He is getting so big. *Tear*
Where does all this time go?? I need it to slow down, I want to remember every little thing.
It seems like just a moment ago I saw the two blue lines, now I have a bubbly little boy to take care of.
God is good. And I love babies. I hope I am blessed with more down the road.
