Tejava Tea Review and Sweepskates Post

 I have been a Tejava fan for many years. I found it while looking for an alternative to my normal tea that had no HFCS in it. I used to be big on Lipton but some of their varieties contain high fructose corn syrup. Tejava is 100% natural Black Tea from the island of Java. I really like that it is unsweetened that way I can add my own level of sweetness. I use either honey or sugar to taste and its great! Once I did put it in the freezer since I wanted some right away and then forgot about it and it cracked and got all over the freezer, not to self duh its glass lol, but that just made me want it even more so I had to run up to the store to get more. I have been hooked since! Here in Nor Cali I get it at Raley's but most places you can find it at Trader Joe's and Cost Plus World Markets.

Tejava won!

While in the store I spotted a pull off paper for a sweepstakes for Tejava. When I got home I could not find it anywhere so I was thankful to find the sweeps on their website.

and BABY makes 5

I have been a little MIA on the blog lately. I have been doing some posts here and there but slacking to say the least. I have a semi good excuse....

I am pregnant and we are expecting baby #3 this winter!!!



The excitement is pretty high around here, especially from JJ. Here I thought that he would be the one to protest the most but he is so excited. He will tell everyone and anyone that we are having another baby. It is super cute. With Baby L he was so so about it, this time around he can't wait to have a new baby. So with my news being announced I am free to write about it, I have a few stories (like my husband wanting to buy a Mini Van) to tell and some things to say about being pregnant (is it possible to be this tired and cranky) this time around. I am working on getting it together and posting more. Please bare with me as I get back into the swing of things.

Next week we have the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby, for my sake PLEASE think PINK!! With 2 boys and a husband the testosterone is pretty thick around here ;)

P.S. Thanks to Liz who has been carrying most of the "baby" weight around here!! Haha

Old Navy is one of my favorite stores! They always have awesome deals and the clearance section in my local store is great. I never pay full price when I ship since they always seem to have some sort of sale.

From 8/1 to 8/18 they are having the Super Cash sale where you earn Old Navy money back for your next purchase. Some restrictions apply so check out the site to read the details.
