Nick Loves Natlife after marriage…

This Christmas season came up on us pretty darn fast, I can’t believe the year is almost up!
It’s been a hectic couple of weeks, and I’m sooo looking forward to some time off doing absolutely nothing.

Merry Christmas y’all and a Happy New Year!

Asa has pretty much played his Fisher Price Laugh and Learn set out, so when I saw this Home Depot Workshop on sale, I knew I had to have it.

I’m sure he’ll have tones of fun with it, once he realizes how to work it.

Grandma got him the Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo. It looks like so much fun, I can’t wait to play with it. Asa is pretty good with his animal sounds, so I know he will love this. It comes with three Animal Zoom Talkers, so I was on a rampage to find all of the other animals. Still outstanding are the hippo, flamingo, ostrich and orangutan. Apparently they are pretty hard to come by and I’m not paying $11.99 on eBay for them either.

I’ve read reviews of this and some people have mentioned that their box shows a monkey as one of the little zoo animals, but instead came with a gorilla. I know for sure the box had a monkey on it so I’m hoping mine will have one. I already purchased a gorilla separately!

Asa has curly hair. Sure it looks cute, but when it comes down to combing it, it’s a battle. He hates having his hair combed. I use Original Sprout baby products, only because it’s all natural and the stuff works! Our current arsenal is made up of the Hair and Body Baby Wash, Detangler and Hair Oil. Some may think that I’m going too far with all these natural products… Well, I say the alternative is not an option. I only use natural products for my hair, why wouldn’t I do the same for Asa?

Anyways, these products work great however, my problem was the small infant comb I was using. It just wasn’t cutting it. You know which one I’m talking about. The one with the rubberized grip and thin teeth. Great for strait hair infants, not for curly hair toddlers. I remember seeing this comb at the Baby Shak and wanted to give it a try. It’s a cross between a comb and pick… and works freakin’ eh!

Kid-Comb

His curls are so defined yet voluminous. I wish I purchased the comb the first time I saw it.  Here is the end result:

I’m lovin’ it! I just wish hey made an adult version for my hair. I need a good detangling comb. Any suggestions?

This summer should be amazing! Asa’s old enough to really appreciate the hot weather, and all of the fun activities we have in store for him.

Sure we’ll go on long walks in his wagon, but for those hot summer days, we picked up a kiddie pool… although it’s not the one I wanted. I had hoped to purchase this lobster pool, with the shade but it was sold out.

I though all was lost, but then Nick happened upon this one:

It’s big enough for me to fit into, and enjoy all the fun! Just gotta wait for the hot weather to make an appearance.
