Pseudo Bed Rest

The irony of it all is just too much. After I wrote about keeping fit this pregnancy, I started having contractions, which set off "alarm bells" for my doctor, since I've done this three times before with no problems at all. So now I'm a step above bed rest, under-active, pseudo bed rest, staying at home, whatever you want to call it.

Just in case that sounds like fun, let me be clear that with three kids, all of the mommying, organizing, and thinking parts of parenting/cooking/household running are still there, except now I make grocery lists for other people.

Today my to do list involves:

making a grocery list for the week and putting out money

ordering new shoes for the 2 and 4 year old (online of course)

Putting photos into albums so I'm all caught up

Framing the birth announcement of our 2 year old (very late...)

Trying to figure out if a mani-pedi is too much activity

Drinking 100 ounces of water

Any good book/movie/internet ideas? I'm looking for fun things to keep me occupied while the little one bakes for at least 4 more weeks!

Using Amazon Smile to give back while shopping

Apparently in 2013 I had 164 orders from Amazon.

Yup, I'll just give you a minute to let that astronomical number sink in.

Still in shock? Me too.

As I've mentioned before, using Amazon Prime saves me at least 10 hours a week and hundreds of dollars. The time part is easy, but the money part is mostly due to the fact that I don't have any impulse purchases (ahem, Target I'm talking to you).

So when a friend told me that Amazon rolled our Amazon Smile, and will give a small percentage to the charity of *your choice* I was all about it. I signed up to support my daughter's school, and now each time I buy diapers, toilet paper, crocs, books, a TV for a vacation house I'll be making money for a worthy cause.

Just go to smile.amazon.com and sign up for the charity you want to support. All your wish lists and orders and account settings are the same, and you can still get prime shipping and everything, but it's super awesome.

btw- I'm hoping to stay under 100 purchases for 2014. Last year was just extra crazy with the vacation house to furnish and fill, so I'm blaming at least 50 purchases on that:)
