Jonathan is strep free!  Thank goodness.  His ped did give him a prescription to help him with his cough and nasally stuff...thankfully he's starting to feel better.  Now to get us both healthy and keep us all healthy for the the winter.

Happy Halloween!

I realized today that it's been a while since I've posted anything.  So, here we go...and update on what's been happening around here.

I'm not feeling too good currently.  My throat has been so sore and I have almost no energy.  On top of me being sick, my son has an awful runny nose that is massively affecting his ability to breathe well.  I'm quite grateful though that he can breathe through his mouth.  I've been trying to help him out with it by giving him the tiniest amount of children's benedryl.  It help him to breathe easier and get some rest so that he can enjoy playing.  I know that some will not agree with me on my choice, but so far it's helping him out, which is important.

I'm excited that my business with Lia Sophia is taking off because of the upcoming holiday season.  This is definately my busy time...and I love it.  I'm excited to get my check on Monday...from 3 shows, I've made over $500!  So I treated myself in my success.  I got my hair highlighted and a new stroller for my son.   I'll take a moment to throw this out there for anyone who would be interested in getting jewelry for friends or family members for Christmas.  You can  go to my website www.liasophia.com/samanthagabhart and take a peek at the catalog. If you are interested in anything, you can click on how to purchase, enter my name: Samantha Gabhart, and purchse online.  I will have things sent directly to you!  Lia Sophia also has a great special always going on...this month's is one of my favorite...Buy 2 items at regular price, get 1 at 50% off (which is the MOST expemsive) plus up to 3 necklaces at 50% off as well.  What I love about this company is that everything comes with a lifetime guarentee! So, if you don't like something, simply send it back for something else...no questions asked!

Ok...I'm really excited about the stroller we just got.  I had an umbrella stroller.  It was alright, but it hurt my back quite a bit because of how low the handles were. So I was wanting to replace it with something that's a bit friendlier to my back and something that folded up small...and easily.  Since I take the bus to go anywhere during the day, this was very important to me.  We just had a Babies R Us/Toys R Us super store open up this last weekend, and so we went for a visit.  The inital objective was not to get a stroller, but to let my husband play with the car seat that I had done research on and found to be the best for my criteria.  I had played with it already at another BRU, so it was his turn.  Wow...I was happy to see that he liked it as much as I did...and that our son likes it too!  If anyone is interested in getting a copy of the research that I did, let me know.

So after we played with the car seats, I went over to the strollers to play, which is something that you just have to do in BRU...play with the merchandise...and then put it back when you are done.  What was great is that my husband, although correctly concerned about our finances, understood that not killing our backs would in the end cost less than investing in a new stoller, let me get one!  We got the Combi Helio.  It's awesome.  It lays flatter than most and collapes down with ease.  It also folds into 3...which rocks...and the coolest part....it's got a shoulder strap!  I love that.  Neeedless to say, it's going to make things much easier for bus rides and when we travel over thanksgiving!  The price wasn't too bad either, which made me happy. 

Well, I've got to run...That's just a little bit of an update on what's going on here.  Hopefully it won't be as long until my next update!
