Hi everyone,
Just keeping you all updated on the happenings of my life. Does anyone read these things? Oh well, it's fun to write anyway! I just made my facebook page for Three Crazy Coconuts. Make sure to like my page if you are my friend! I will be running the "like my page" contest in April. If you suggest your friends to "like" my page then I will enter you into a contest to win free full size products! Woot! Who doesn't like free stuff? =0)
Also, working on the skin care line of my business. Lots of ideas floating around in my little brain. Now, all I need is to be successful with the body line first! Then.....amazing skincare to follow!
Ugh, my traumatizing moment of the week! Last Sunday Abram complained that his nose was hurting, I figured that he just bonked it on his bed because....well, he is SUPER klutzy like I am! Then a few days later he complained that his eye was hurting and his one nostril was randomly leaking clear fluid. So...... I looked in his nose and saw what I thought was a booger. Next day, his nose was still leaking and he smelled funny! I was stumped. I thought maybe he had some type of mysterious one nostril cold. Next day, I decided that maybe that booger was not a booger so I tried to yank it out. 10 minutes later I had gotten nothing out of his nose but I did acquire a VERY irritated little man. At this point I realize that he had shoved something up his nose, so I made a dr's appt for the next day. Found out from my mom that they were just going to hold him down and shove tweezers up his nose at the doctor so I decided that I didn't want my little man terrified from the doctors holding him down and having issues taking him ever to the doctor again! I decided to remove the "mass" myself. Poor momma and poor little man. I am forever disturbed from digging memory foam out of his nose!! Who puts memory foam up their nose?!?!?!? There were little pieces and big pieces. The biggest piece was stuck way up in his nasal cavity and smelled horrible! YUCK! I hope for his sake and mine, that he learned his lesson! Don't worry, we had LOTS of cuddle time after our "experience" and lots of don't stick anything up your nose talks!
Next day I got one of the best surprises of my life! Shane had called early in the day to say he got a new account at work and that we needed to celebrate by going out to dinner. I thought it was kinda fishy but didn't think anything of it. We had a nice dinner of Pho soup. ( My new fav) Then we decided to drive by the house that we made an offer on. When we pulled up I noticed that Shane had the video camera out. He then told me that we got the house! I cried, of course....and told him repeatedly to "shut up" and "quit lying". Ha! He had surprised me and had my realtor/friend call him with the news so that he could surprise me. Ahhhh, sometimes my big ol beast can be so sweet! So anywho, we have a new house!!!!! Yay!

Almost official......making my first order next week hopefully!
Hello all!
Just finished filling out all my tax forms for my new business. It really makes you feel official when your signing your name and *President* on all the forms!! I feel so blessed to be on this journey and to have so many people supporting me! I will hopefully be making my first order next week! Ahhhhh! I can't believe it! I can't wait to share something I love with all of you. Be ready for me!
Also, thought I would share a funny story about.....who else......my babies!! This morning I woke up at 7:30 (I know, I can't believe it!) to an adorable baby boy cooing and smiling at me. I went to grab him from his crib and he immediately laid his head on my shoulder, so I thought I would bring him into bed with me for some quick snuggles. After about 30 seconds of snuggles, he popped his head up, burped and spit up all over my face, good think I closed my mouth just in time!! Happy Tuesday Momma! Then he proceeded to flash me a huge smile.......what's the name of that song...memories, pressed between the pages of my mind, memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine, memories.......memories............SWEET MEMORIES!

The website is up and I am already exhausted!
So, I finally did it. I can't believe it. The website is launched. The corporation status is filed. All that is left to do is order the amazing products and wait for them to be made and shipped to me! I am beyond excited to finally get that first box of product.....MY VERY OWN PRODUCT. Knowing me, I will probably cry.=0)
So, check it out if you haven't already. http://www.threecrazycoconuts.com/ My products are going to be amazing. As if I didn't already love them enough, today I realized that the very first ingredient in MY products is not water!!! Do you know why this is so exciting?!?!?!? Because water is the first ingredient in most all of your lotions..... Go ahead, go check. I will wait. Ahhh, you see, my first ingredient is organic aloe vera. Aloe vera is one of the most amazing products to put on your skin. Did you know that Aloe penetrates our skin and is absorbed much faster than water? It has the ability to hydrate faster and at a deeper level than just water alone.Also, aloe vera has amazing benefits for all types of skin concerns! Just thought I would give you a little glimpse of why you should be as excited as I am! It truly matters what you put on your skin and in your body.
Here I am at 9:30pm writing a blog when I had planned on being asleep at 8! Oh, what have I gotten myself into? The passion I have for this darn thing is affecting my sleep!! Or is it my kids that are affecting me sleep?
Oh well, what's that saying? You sleep when your dead. Yeah, I can relate to that. Sleep....sleep... I don't even know what that word means anymore!I have been up since 4am with a beautiful little man. He believes that I should entertain him at whatever hour he feels necessary. Recently those hours have been 11:30, 1:15, 2:30, 3:25, and oh yes, play from 4-6am. Silly little man. Then he feels it is necessary to sleep most of the day while I am up with his brothers. And only, yes only, wake up when mom thinks she should nap!! But really, can it get much better than this? Nope. My three crazy coconuts are a blessing, even if I never got one wink of sleep, even if I never got to eat one meal in peace again, even if I never got to take a shower without an interruption, even if I had to give up watching fun shows to watch Ben 10 and Power Rangers. It's all worth it, every second!

New Adventures!
My first blog and I am on my way to having my very own business! Woot! Just finishing up the website, creating a blog, and dealing with endless amounts of laundry, poopy diapers, dishes, toys all over and some runny noses and puking kiddos all thrown in the mix. Some would say I may be a little crazy to add more to my plate.......well, heck, I AM crazy! Excited for this new chapter in my life. Doing something I have always wanted to do, just diving in head first. It's scary, I may hurt myself or fail along they way, but what the hay, right? I would rather be old and gray and say "I tried" rather than, " I wish I would have!" So here we go! Hopefully the water is warm!
