If you fall off the Horse...

Well today I got the chance to go on a guided tour/ride with Ricochet Ridge Ranch here in Fort Bragg/Cleon. I was sposed to have about 5 other co-workers with me but no one showed up...  :(
Before I even got on my horse I watched a video on safety. Then  Vida, one of my guides loaded up the horses and we were off to another one of their properties (Simca). We rode our horses around a little train that came back up to where we started to warm them up. Along this trail we had to go up a narrow pathed hill and on our way up my shoe got caught on a fence that we had to pass through and I fell off. All was fine.. no Scratches or Bruises... just some badly torn pants...( My Butt hung out) lol. I got Back on my Horse and we went off again...

The views were AMAIZING!  Went down and then up again.. had a small jumping lesson lol and up some more..



let the horses grab a bite to eat and rest then headed down.. My horses name was "Cloud". She was so careful going down the hills and very mindful of me. She is a Beauty!



 Vida and Stephy got the horses loaded up again and then we headed back to the stables to head out to the Beach... I had a GREAT time... A Little sore yes but that is just because my muscles are not used to sitting in a saddle for 4 hours.. I loved every Minute of it!! Here are some more pics from the Beach!

Cloth Diapering

Now I know what you think when you think about Cloth Diapering... "I don't want to deal with poopy diapers and all the maintenance that comes with them." Well I am here to tell you that the only extra step you have to take is to empty the solids into the toilet (like you should be doing with any disposable) and then tossing them into the wash.... now with some cloth diapers you will have to touch the dirtyness and take out the insert, but with the ones I use you don't have to touch anything yucky lol. I use Smartie Pants.


Now I love these diapers! these are pocket diapers, which mean they have a pocket that fits an insert that hold all the moisture from baby's eliminations. These diapers fit a child from 7lbs to 35lbs. They can do that because they have snaps that can adjust the rise and how tight around the waist they can be. And they are great at holding in everything!  Now say you wanted to give them a try but weren't really up to spending the $14.95 per diaper( the more you buy the cheaper they get).
You could go to This Blog and enter in the giveaway she has going for this exact diaper. I have entered and so should you... Have a great day!
