Today's Children's Hospital Visit

We took our ten-year-old to a children's hospital today for some issues she has been having for about a year now. After the first nine months (of her doctor saying it is a virus), he referred to her the hospital.  They want to do an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy under general anesthetic.  I wasn't expecting this right away.  I thought they'd recommend diet restrictions (like milk in particular) but they went right to the invasive procedures. I wasn't happy about that.

Sports Team Apparel

School sports have started.  I have three girls in cheerleading and my son playing soccer.  I want to buy sports clothes in their school colors but buying them from the stands at the game is so expensive.  I looked online to see about designing my own custom football jerseys and soccer jerseys in their school colors to wear on game days to school and found Custom Planet.  This looks like a great place for teams or classes to order clothing in their school colors to show school spirit! You can make custom t-shirts, uniforms for basketball, baseball, football, as well as hats and more. They will help you with the graphic design or you can upload your own graphics.  I fiddled around with it and had a lot of fun designing a t-shirt for juniors.

These would be a great idea for youth teams for an affordable jersey for sports that aren't sponsored by a school or for team members to wear outside of game day - showing team spirit!

I need some "mom" sports clothes in my kids' school colors to support my kids from the stands. I'm off to design and shop!

Purifying Water

I bought a water purifier to purify our tap water for drinking.  It's in pitcher form but I want one that is permanently attached to the sink itself.  What do you prefer?

Thankfully, our city doesn't put fluoride in our water so I don't need to worry about removing that but my trust in government protecting my kids' health - not so much. I'd rather make sure I am doing everything I know to protect my family rather than depend on an organization that has special interests groups breathing down its neck to do it.

R2D2's Head on an RV

Look at R2D2 on top!!

My sister bought a used RV that needed some cosmetic work - great engine but questionable decorating.  Apparently, it's previous owner had screwed R2D2 onto the top of it!  Yeah, I'd say it is in need of a little rv repair, wouldn't you?  Actually, it was just his head.  Who would think to chop off R2D2's head and screw it onto the top of an RV? The engine was in too good of shape to pass up, despite R2D2 riding on the top.
