Honest Family Essentials Bundle - April 2013

Our April bundle is not as exciting as our past ones, I did some re-selections, but I also added a couple of their newest additions. I didn't save much on this month's bundle, but I'm thinking of bumping up my bundle next month to include more of their "add on only" items ;)

The Honest Company is a brand created by Jessica Alba and Christopher Gavigan, supplying families with safer and more organic baby products from diapers and wipes to laundry detergent and dishwasher soap. They have quickly become a favorite of mine, and I definitely prefer their performance over the "cheaper" store bought brands.

Here's what we received in our Family Essential Bundle: 

Scrubber Sponge (2) | $3.95

Hand Sanitizer (8oz) | $6.95

Shampoo & Body Wash (8.5floz) | $9.95

Measuring Spoons Holder

Every time I need a measuring spoon, I have to fish through our drawer of small utensils trying to find the size I need. I finally got fed up with the mess one day and collected all my spoons and put them in a tiny glass bowl that I have been holding on to for years. Ah, now my spoons have a home and can you believe I don't stress over finding my 1/2 tsp anymore? ;)

Shari's Berries for Mother's Day

I recently had the opportunity to choose a Mother's Day gift from Shari's Berries, although I don't have a mother to gift to, I thought it'd be nice to choose a gift that Michael and I could enjoy together to celebrate us both being awesome parents :) Since we are healthier eaters, we didn't want to pick anything sugary, so when we saw the Snack Attack we were instantly sold. This woven basket holds 10 snack packs in Hollywood Trail Mix (3 oz.), Cinnamon Almonds (3 oz.), Colossal Pistachios (3 oz.), Corn Nuts (3 oz.), Honey Roasted Peanuts (3 oz.), Honey Sesame Sticks (3 oz.), Butter Toffee Peanuts (3 oz.), Rice Cracker Mix (3 oz.), Roasted Salted Cashews (3 oz.), Smokehouse Almonds (3 oz.).

We loved the cinnamon almonds, pistachios, and rice cracker mix - those were the first to go ;)

Insanity Day 3 (ish)

Well, we did not do the day 3 video, instead I did the stretches portion from day 2 yesterday. Here's the thing, I have very unhealthy hips, a lifetime issue from when I was born with one leg wedged up by my head. I live in pain every day and I also forget that it's abnormal to have sore hips. So, after doing the fit test on day 1 and the warm-up exercises on day 2, my hips are screaming in pain and completely sore inside. This level of pain usually happens when I sit for too long, stand for too long... basically do any one thing for too long. Now I'm feel regret about how far I pushed myself the first two days. It's tough to know your limit when your body can handle one limit while your hips can handle a much lesser limit.

I'm a little lost on how much I should be doing or how long I should be going for. My game plan is to do something every day, but not push through to do the entire work out until I truly can handle it. If I work my hips too hard then I run the risk of being immobile and I can't afford to do that with two little kids to care for.

Last night we did not exercise, so today I want to do more stretches and attempt to do Day 4's video IN MODERATION :)
