Dan is the man of my life - like every other couple we do have our hard times but the way we work them out are just awesome. I always was sure in my heart that we were meant to be together!
It is like beyond our love!
The way we met and how everything worked out for us to be together I have no doubt that we were supposed to be together and God made it that way - special and blessed!
But lately I been wondering - how can we be a couple???
I mean its freaking 60 degrees in the house (I bet is even colder upstairs) and I have a comforter and all and he has a freaking fan into his face!!! - That of course passes him and get into me!!!
How can we sleep in the same bed!!!??? =(
I wanna cuddle and hug and get warm (not just for the first 5 minutes after we are in bed) but the whole night!!!
Maybe he did all these past 7 years and I never was bothered about or perhaps he only did on warmer days... I don't know! All I know is that I need to talk to him about this soon... we need to work this one out!

Animals Don’t Want to Eat GMOs, So Why Are We?
GMOs, also known as genetically modified organisms, are created by injecting the DNA from one species into another species, creating genetic combinations that cannot occur in nature or through typical crossbreeding methods. For example, genes from an arctic flounder (which has natural "antifreezing" properties that protect it from the frigid waters) may be injected into tomato DNA to make a new breed that is more resistant to frost damage. It sounds like a sci-fi movie, but it’s reality. And, according to the FDA, over 75 percent of processed food in the United States may contain GMOs. Foods with genetically modified ingredients don’t have to be labeled, though, so you’re probably eating them every day without even knowing it.
What’s the big deal? No one knows for sure yet (because very little testing has been done – even though it’s been allowed to become nearly ubiquitous in our food supply). But, preliminary findings are disturbing, to say the least.
According to Jeffrey Smith, author of “Seeds of Deception”, in one of the first studies in the early 1990’s, rats were fed GM tomatoes. Actually, they refused to eat them, so they had to be force fed. And, rats aren’t the only animals who’ve declined a snack of GMOs. Smith says “eyewitness reports from all over North America describe how several types of animals, when given a choice, avoided eating GM food. These included cows, pigs, elk, deer, raccoons, squirrels, rats, and mice.”
What do the animals know that we don’t? Why do their instincts tell them to avoid these “frankenfoods?” We’ll likely never know, but here are some facts we do know from “Just Say No to GMO” by Dr. Joseph Pizzorno:
• A preliminary study from the Russian National Academy of Sciences [found] that more than half the offspring of mother rats fed GM soy died within three weeks (compared to 9% from mothers fed natural soy).
• [An] estimated 10,000 sheep died in India within 5-7 days of grazing on GM cotton plants engineered to produce their own Bt-toxin pesticide.
• The only human GM feeding study ever published show[ed] that the foreign genes inserted into GM food crops can transfer into the DNA of our gut bacteria. This study gives new meaning to the adage, "You are what you eat." Long after those GM corn chips you munched are history, your intestinal flora may still be churning out the "Bt" pesticide GM corn plants have been engineered to produce.
Reality is that the FDA has absolutely no GMO safety testing requirements, and GM ingredients are ubiquitous in prepared foods. Unless a processed food contains only organic ingredients, it is highly likely to contain GM ingredients. The "research" that supports GMO safety is voluntarily provided by companies on their own GM crops and has been described by critics as "meticulously designed to avoid finding problems".
But 44,000 FDA internal documents later made public as a result of a lawsuit revealed problems. The overwhelming consensus among the FDA's scientists was that GM foods were substantively different, so different that their consumption might result in unpredictable and hard-to-detect allergens, toxins, new diseases and nutritional problems. Agency scientists urged superiors to require long-term studies, but were not only ignored, their statements about possible negative effects of GMOs were progressively deleted from FDA policy statement drafts.
According to the Non-GMO Project, a nonprofit independent verification program, in over 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, because they are not considered proven safe. In Europe, any approved products containing more than 0.9% GMO are labeled by the government. While we wait for proper safety testing, regulations, and labeling, we can take our health into our own hands and act with a little precaution by following these steps:
• Check food labels for soy-, corn- and cottonseed-based additives, most likely to be genetically engineered.
• Buy 100% certified organic especially for corn, soy, potato and animal products.
• Choose a wide variety of fresh, whole foods over processed foods that are likely to contain bioengineered additives. Check the PLU code on produce to identify if it’s genetically engineered. PLUs consist of 4 to 5 numbers (4 numbers = conventional produce, 5 numbers starting with 9 = organic produce, 5 numbers starting with 8 = genetically engineered produce).
• Look for the Non-GMO Project verified label (visit their website to find products they have tested).
• Buy locally grown produce from farmers’ markets and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms where you can talk to the producer.
• Prepare meals at home so you know exactly what you are eating.

I made 2 batches of 50 each... I really dislike these containers because 1/2 of them don't work - I must go back to my old jars next time! Working on finishing the labels today!
A mother's worst fear...
Its to have your children in danger - sick or anything that may hurt them.
If I would ask you what is a mother's biggest fears I'm sure you could come up with a neverending list; and we know how to prevent many of them to happen, and we pray for God to protect our little ones.
But what we should have fear of is the things we cannot control and the things we can't think of - there for you can't prevent!
And of course for me that happens more often then not and is just that one things that happens in the movies and you don't think it can ever happen for real - well... yes those are the ones that happen to me!
We have one of our sofas against a window - there is blinds and curtains on there.
The boys jump in the couch - everyday! Every single day - and that is the only couch they are allowed to jump on... and often they will flio into the back of the couch and scoot over from behind...
So this morning - right under my nose - next to me - Noah was jumping - like he always do getting out from the back and running back to do it all over again when - BLAH!
The cords on the blindes got stuck on his neck! At first I didn't realized he was serious and when I realized I he was chocking.
I helped him take the cords out - and sat down to sink in what had just happened and get my legs to stop shaking. I can just thank God for watching over him and protecting him at that time!
*sign*
Right after it happened
Tonite, during bath time - not much better!
Being so lucky the way I'm someone just may call child services on me thinking I was trying to hurt my son! =oP

Benjamin: "Mom I want that play-doh CANIBAL"
Canibal? Hack a Canibal? It took me a good 10 minutes to understand he was talking about a Play-doh CARNIVAL! =DDD

It came before I could see it coming
It never crossed my mind this day would come!
Often people guess my age wrong - of course they think I'm older then I'm and not just a year or more - like they guess me to be Dan's (DH) ages - 35.
But I'm not - I'm only 28 and being told that I'm older never bothered me. FOR REAL! Really
I could see other people around me and see them getting older - but still I never saw it in me! I knew it would come eventually...
People talk about how they are bothered by turning 30 and here I'm getting close to it and still don't get bothered by it (Or I should say I didn't until...)
Well - so starting from the beginning, when IW as in 3rd grade I started having a lot of headaches, my mom took me to the eye Dr. and yes - farsighted!
Each year after that until closer to my 20s my eyes got worst and worst and today without my glasses I can't see much! So I started wearing contacts and absolutely hates wearing glasses over the year I had many kinds - blue frame, red frame, round and square - oval and metal...
you name it - every year I got a new pair and always hated them. Used contacts as much as I could until....
....a couple of weeks ago my left eye started hurting really bad when I got contacts on, even very new ones still would hurt so the Eye Dr. prescribed drops and 2 weeks without contacts.
So I ordered myself new glasses, a cheap deal I found online just to hold me over for a couple of weeks and it's being months... I being wearing my glasses since!
Until yesterday, Benjamin had a fieldtrip with school and I didn't want to wear my glasses because it was raining... so I got my contacts on and when I look at the mirror OH MY DEAR SHOES!!!
I look so freaking old! I can see all my wrinkles - my face is so... so... so ... down! =oP Swollen!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm getting SO OLD!!!
Where are my glasses??? for the first time in my life I wanted my glasses back on! They hide my face! LOL

Its easy sometimes when you just coast along
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Sometimes they will have you there cause they need someone around
Perhaps youll receive invitations for tea
Perhaps youll laugh and make them all smile
Or maybe youll join them cause it had to be
Perhaps youll forget you forgot for awhile
Birds of a feather are flocking outside
Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance
Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
Of ritual drumming although at first glance
You thought you could run but you wont take a chance
Its not an experience if they cant bring someone along
They hang on emotions they bottle inside
They peck at the ground
And strut out of stride

A post about Benjamin
Benjamin has grown up so much within this past 6 mos. It may not be a big deal for other people but I'm just
I guess just like mothers get joyful when kids get their first step - or teeth or goal on soccer... I being just enjoying this ride - to watch Ben grown to be such an awesome little guy!
Do you remember about the laundry help I posted about it a few days ago? Well that has begun routine and anytime I have a done washed he will put on the dryer and when they are dry he'll being them to me!
He is addicted for Cinnamon bread - now when he wants some he'll ask permition (you know not because my kids need permition to eat - lol - but that is sweet and not ok to eat all day long) but he'll ask me for it, get on the toaster all by himself and get it when it's ready - always gets a plate and goes sit down to eat!!! =)))
Also whenever we go in or out the house he knows the alarm code so he'll turn it on/off for us!
If I have groceries on the car he always grab some bags and helps me to bring them in! OR if he sees me getting sheets on the bed he will go in the other side to help out! =)))
And of course there's a ton more things that I just can't think of right now - but they way he cares about me and everyone around him, he is such a caring child!
He is such a great helper all around - good listener - of course he has his moments like every other 4 year old but still a joyful little boy that just brightens my days! =)
I just can't help but smile!
Noah's favorite song
I sure am happy my little guy has good taste for music but I'm getting tired of listening the same song over and over and over again!!! =oPPP
a true story
As you know - the funniest and strangest things always happen to me -
This is NOT funny like saying the baby was "pussy" instead of "fussy" to this old lady that didn't know I had no English OR embarrassing myself with a cop or any other one of my other stories - but I do want to share this, I liked it!
So I woke up and left early to go do this job up in Blue Ash this week and Dan took the boys to school. As I'm driving down on Reed Hartman I see this "Deer X" sign. I was sitting on a red light - laughing at myself because when I first moved to Cincinnati and my English wasn't that great!!! My friend from Brasil (that clearly was just as clueless as I was) asked me: "What does deer x" means? And I was like "It's probably a name of a school around here! LOL
I was thinking - Xavier = X DeerX school or something!!! LOL
Of course - months later when I learned that the X mas "crossing" I was cracking up alone while no one else was finding the funny part of it!
So I was there sitting - light turns green and in my mind I was thinking " houses on the right - houses on the left - there is just NO WAY that there are deers around here! that must be an old sign and
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (that is the sound of my breaks!)
Right in front of me - 1, 2 3 no wait! 4 - 5 - 6 789...
I guess that is it - no here comes more...
10 11
yes - Eleven pretty big dears crossing inches from my car on the middle of Reed Hartman!
So - yes, it was pretty amazing! I wanted to put on reverse cause I was a little afraid they would go on top of my car but by then there was a line right behind me - I look the guy next to me and he is on the phone **IDEA** my phone has a camera - but of course by the time I got it to start they were gone... but it was just a pretty cool thing! =) And of course I will never judge signs again - if it says there are deers - yes there are deers!!! Lesson learned for me ha!!!

quick note
because as usual I have no time to write =oP
I do want to remember this one small talk between Noah and I:
Me: Noah - please hon just get your silverwear and sit down
to eat before your food gets too cold
Noah: I don't want to eat with silverwear - I want to eat with a spoon!
=oP

In another totally OOT note:
Biggs had triple coupon this week! I wasn't too bad!
Total bill was $98
Paid: $53
Savings of 47%
Could of done much better but ended up getting quite a few items without coupons! I did have a ton of coupons for granola bars (1 bar) for $0,50 so all the ones cheaper then 1,50 were free! =)))

A couple of video of Noah
Noah can write his name!! I didn't teach him so I'm assuming he learned at school - I got remember to ask Mrs. Chilton!
And here is a video of him and his keyboard! He plays this thing all day long if I let him and it's amazing all the different noises he can make! This one song that plays on the video he calls the "water bottle" song - of course because I was trying to make a video he didn't sing it! Still - it'c cute!

It's funny 24/7 in this household
The kids have being cracking me up lately - saying the funniest things EVER! IT's so funny to see how they talk just like Dan & I!
Noah and I were heading to the bathroom to wash our hands and I asked: "Noah, can mama go first?" His answer H I L A R I O U S:
"Go for it mama!"

A total surprise
Today after school we had lunch and while the boys played at the house I did about 4-5 loads of laundry.... When I was on my last load we were all hanging out upstairs – Noah had just woken up from a nap and he was so grumpy so I was holding him and getting him to wake up all the way little Benjamin was hanging with us.
I didn't even noticed that Benjamin left the room – I kept on talking to Noah and asking him if he wanted to play – when he finally decided to do so I yelled for Benji “Benji – come play with us”
He did answer that he was coming and he sounded tired but close by...
when I look back, guess what?
Benji was standing at the door, with a laundry basket full of dry clothes! He says:
“Here it is mom – the laundry was beeping and you were helping Noah so I got them for you to fold”
How awesome is that? I did hear in the back of my mind the laundry beep but Noah was for sure keeping me busy – I never asked Benji to do that – never even mentioned about the laundry....
He just did – all on his own, got all the laundry in the basket and dragged a pretty heavy basket up to the stairs!!!
I could not help but just kiss kiss kiss kiss him! =) What a sweet and thoughtful boy?!!

Do you any idea?
of what would take Stamp Ink out of a formica table???
I let the kids play with stamps on it and never crossed my mind it would not come off! I tried magic eraser, vinager, 409, Windex and some other things I had around the house and nothing worked.
It's just a $12 table for IKEA but still... =oP I want to clean it!
