Virtual Girls Night Out & FF

Happy VGNO & FF Virtual Friends – thanks for stopping by.
Below you will find out a little about what I’ve been up to this week PND. Don’t forget to enter our giveaways!

Is anyone else having trouble getting back into the swing of things after the Thanksgiving festivities.  I don’t know why, but I havent’ been able to put two sentences together on my blog this week!

I have reviews and giveaways to get done, so this has to end.  Sleep deprivation likely isn’t helping!

Lil’ Dude has been having potty training issues.  He is doing great with pee pee, but WILL NOT put anything else in the potty.  We’ve had a couple of days with him in such pain and discomfort because he won’t go.  Poor kid, so two days this week he’s actually ended up getting business done on the potty.  The rest of the time he just waits for the night time diaper.

Pure Natural Diva is an informational site dedicated to Whole Living with Style and Ease!

ABOUT ME:
I’m a wife and mother living in Los Angeles. I spent hours researching product reviews, informational sites and labels trying to make green and organic decisions for my family’s health. Frustrated by the volume of online information and no central site that had the information I was looking for – I created PureNaturalDiva.com. PND is my place to share what’s working for me, what’s not.

NEW @ PND:

Plastics & Your Baby
Green Granite Cleaner ~ Recipe (super easy)
Toxins ~ Small Amounts Matter
Bottled Water – Save Real Green.

    Tania,

    Happy VGNO!

    I’m going to try and see your Green Tip tomorrow. I don’t use Word Press and it’s asking for my W.P. info. to see your link :-<. I promise I will do what I can to see your tip tomorrow.

    • Tania Reuben September 4, 2009, 10:08 pm

      I can’t figure out why it won’t let you see the links… I’m going to look through some of the preferences and see if I can fix this!

    Hi there Miss Diva!

    I’m with you on the whole post office thing. Thank goodness the grocery store down the street has a satellite p.o. Because the post office for my area…like where they keep my packages they need signatures for…is totally out of the way and far from my house, so far, in fact, I have to drive by another post office to get there…the genius of the Federal Government at work!

    Just stoppin’ in from Ann’s VGNO!

      It sounds like you have a legitimate beef about going to the Post Office… mine isn’t far.
      I’m going to have to blame this on having 2 children 4 and under… Or accept responsibility and call it lazy.

    • Tania Reuben September 11, 2009, 5:23 pm

      I do my best. I’m a mom like the rest of us and it’s hard to keep up! But I do a lot of research especially now that I have a blog on the subject!

    I’m tired from being on the computer until after 2 a.m. last night. I’m off visiting my mom without “the old man”, so I don’t have the attitude, “Oh, you’re still on the computer? I guess I’ll see you in the morning”

    I guess I’d better make it an earlier night tonight as I have to drive home tomorrow!

    Have a Happy VGNO!

    How does my husband deal with my blogging? Not well! Haha! I think they get a little jealous when the attentions not on them. Ah well, they’ll get over it! Stopping by from Ann’s VGNO to say hello. Hope you have a great weekend!

  • Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) October 23, 2009, 6:21 pm

    Hubby and I are in the same room on our individual computers…so he doesn’t feel neglected by my blogging, since he’s doing his own thing…usually working on his music.  And I don’t feel guilty that way, because he’s doing his own creative outlet while I do mine! ;)Happy VGNO – hope you figure out the balance! :)

  • Jennifer McKinnon October 23, 2009, 8:56 pm

    I’m with Stacy. My husband and I do our computer work at the same time. Sometimes while we also watch a movie. We’re lame!

  • Tracie October 23, 2009, 8:58 pm

    Happy VGNO!  I usually blog while my husband is doing other computer things, so he doesn’t mind, but I have noticed that if I start doing it while he isn’t doing computer stuff, he doesn’t seems very happy.  He hasn’t brought it up directly, but I’ve noticed his little mood changes.

  • Julie@JulieChats October 23, 2009, 10:39 pm

    Hello and nice to meet you. I’ve come by way of VGNO. Thanks for posting the Dr. Oz link, I was in a discussion about the immunization today and am opting not to have one – however, I’ll check in to see what Dr. Oz has to say. I too have been working toward living green and organic. I live on Vancouver Island in Canada and am an avid gardener and cook who loves to shop local and has learn to appreciate the taste of clean, real food. As for the blogging… I have a full time job so the only chance I get to indulge my hobby is during the evening after everyone goes to bed, early mornings, and on the weekend. Mind you, I’ve been doing this a long time and after dubbing my husband “The Poolboy” several yearas ago on the blog he quite enjoys the noteriety :-)

    • Tania Reuben October 24, 2009, 1:34 am

      You hail from my part of the world. I grew up in Vancouver and even lived on Cortez Island at one point in my childhood!
      Glad Poolboy likes his noteriety, Dude hasn’t quite gotten there. I blog in spare moments throughout the day and then in the evening. I’m on a laptop, so I sit with him on the sofa a foot away from him, but that isn’t cutting it.

  • Julie@JulieChats October 31, 2009, 11:23 pm

    Hope you had a great week!

    Just stopping by late to say Happy Halloween, Happy VGNO & SO Happy my DUCKS beat USC!!! :)

  • Ann Again November 4, 2009, 2:31 pm

    I totally understand that feeling of not being on the same page. It does pass, but the waiting can be so bizarre. Why do these things happen? Hate it.

    How are you doing today?
    .-= Ann Again´s last blog ..Disappointed In The "Show" =-.

    • Tania Reuben November 4, 2009, 3:05 pm

      I think it got a little worse.
      Then we rolled through that cycle…. now we’re good.
      Yesterday he gave me most of the day off, took lil’ diva to school, packed her lunch. Then made french toast for lil dude and I. Followed up with taking them to the park in the Evening and out to dinner while I went and had a foot massage and wine with the girls. He’s compensating a little for MLB Playoff absences!
      No Whining this week!

  • Tracie November 6, 2009, 3:48 pm

    It’s good to hear that your hubby and you are moving on with the good stuff :)Happy VGNO!

  • Ivette November 6, 2009, 7:02 pm

    So glad the Dude has stepped up – parenthood can be great when it’s full partnership. Or at least you can be miserable together.   :)   Happy VGNO!

  • Julie@JulieChats November 14, 2009, 1:04 am

    Sorry you’ve been being the nurse! Hopefully you don’t end up the patient now!

    I’ll have to check back for the SPUD giveaway, I was reading about them recently.

    Happy VGNO!

    • Tania Reuben November 14, 2009, 12:52 pm

    I’ve been having the same problem with getting back into blogging after Thanksgiving. Glad to hear that I’m not the only one!Happy VGNO!

  • JulieChats December 11, 2009, 10:30 am

    Hi there! Good luck with that potty training, we’ll be starting that in about 6 months. My daughter is almost 9 and we bribed her to “poopy” in the potty by letting her choose a Matchbox car each time she went. They were her favorites at the time and I got a big box at Ross so they were pretty cheap. Some of my friends used candy, but I didn’t want to start the food as a reward thing. Now her brother is playing with her big stash of “poopy cars” and we hope it works for him.

    I’m stopping by today from VGNO, so late that I’m almost embarrassed to admit it! But things have been pretty crazy around here in the last week with all the holiday prep, school party stuff and of course my DUCKS winning last week! ROSE BOWL! I think I’m recovered & back to normal! Have a great weekend! I’ll probably be back around soon for tonight’s VGNO!
