Random Questions

1.  When you need clipart, do you have a go-to source?  I find myself searching through google images, and that's not working well because then I find something and it costs money for a simple little clip art image.

2.  Do you use shaving cream/gel? Something else?  I'm tired of buying shave cream because it seems to disappear so quickly.

3.  I'd love your recommendations on favorite computer learning-type games/websites for pre-school aged children.  Rachel hasn't really been on the computer very much at all, so we're newbies.  I'd just check pinterest, except I'd rather get a personal recommendation for something like this.  Also, if you have some must-have learning-type apps for preschool age children, feel free to pass those along too.

4.  We just moved Andrew to his big boy bed, and it's great - he loves it for the most part.  Naps are trickier - only because he plays and has a harder time falling asleep.  Any advice on helping to maintain the nap when you move to a big boy bed?  I seem to remember that Rachel stopped napping shortly after we moved her to her big girl bed.

5.  I'm in a bit of a cooking rut (must be due to the fact that it's still very hot and I'm hugely pregnant).  If you have a favorite family-friendly recipe, please send it my way.

THANKS!

I do the same thing for clipart. For shaving...I got tired of it too. I now use conditioner. I've really liked it. My kids all stopped napping when they left the crib too. Sorry :(
As for dinners--I often feel in ruts. Some of my main go to's are--spaghetti, taco salad, grilled chicken with various sides, tacos/tostadas/fry bread tacos.
I hope you get some good tips!

For shaving, I use body wash. If you find a good, thick, soapy kind (I use St. Ives grapefruit body wash), you only need to use a small drop and it lasts forever.

For meals, following a few food blogs and browsing Pinterest suggestions occasionally has been great for menu planning! I've been pulling a ton of recipes from Mel's Kitchen Cafe lately. You can see recipes that have worked for us on my Pinterest board here.

I use conditioner in place of shaving cream. You just get a cheap bottle and it lasts forever and your legs feel so, so good. Too bad I can't say anything about anything else. :) ♥

hey girl! just got caught up on your blog. i use soap to shave. i've seen the tip of using conditioner to shave. mainly, for conditioners you've bought and don't like.

nap time - conor has the same issue. i just keep going in there telling him to take a nap. on the days he's REALLY tired, he naps no problem.

as far as dinner - i HEAR YOU SISTER! being responsible for dinner is the worst. i actually just went through and meal planned for the next two weeks. half of the recipes are my good ol' trusty ones and half are pinterest ones.

good luck!!
