Alternative Housewife

J

I'm Janine, wife to Donny and mama to Sebastian (age 18 months). We live (with our annoying dog) in a simple, cozy apartment in Portland, Oregon, where we are working on building our home and our lives with style. I believe in buying secondhand, in basic and natural products, and in living fabulously on any budget. More about us.

Mama & Sebastian at Sesame DonutsSebastian - 9 months old - Sesame Donuts

Sesame Donuts with my boys. Today we were on the west side running errands and stopped into our favorite donut shop. Do not believe the hype about Voodoo Donuts. Sesame Donuts in Beaverton is much better! Sebastian tried his first donut today and especially loved a drink of whole cow’s milk.

My new Twitter name, @pdxstylemama. Alternativehousewife is too long for a Twitter handle and I wasn’t sure what else to go with but this one should stick, so follow me!

EdenFantasys. I write a lot of sponsored posts for them because I truly love their products & service. I have purchased gifts from them and this morning I placed an order for a back massager and organic massage oil. Because I spent over $100 (I received a gift card from the company) I qualified for free overnight shipping and am expecting my items tomorrow! I’m very excited.

Working out. I have committed to working out every day for the next 30 days. Tonight is day 3 and I am sore but loving it. I’m not being strict about my diet (um, donuts) as my goal is simply to tone up. Any weight loss is just an added bonus.

Microsoft Dragon Fruit pink wireless mouse

This Dragon Fruit Pink computer mouse. Or Pomegranate Red. My wireless mouse went kaput (possibly due to baby spit) and I need a new one for my laptop. I’m adding this one to my wish list.

Envirosax Oscar bag

This tote. I love Sesame Street (I’ve been putting on episodes lately “for Sebastian”) and this would be a great bag for a trip to the park or some quick errands with the baby. My first year ever trick-or-treating, I dressed up as Cookie Monster. Now that I’m grown I prefer Oscar, I guess because I’m a sucker for bad boys. I can’t  help it; I just want to fix him. Plus he has a sick house.

Brigid Brannagh

Red hair. After four seasons of Army Wives and obsessing over Brigid Brannagh’s perfect color, I’ve decided to do my own shade of red. Natural red is one of the few colors I’ve never really tried and I’m very excited. I’m planning to have it done early next month – Hopefully my stylish Ginger will make me a perfect Ginger. ;)

Dexter. I know I’m late to the party but Dexter is the latest TV show we’re getting into. Unfortunately Netflix only has the first two seasons streaming but luckily my sister owns the third on DVD. She and my dad have been Dexter fans since it started airing. Anyone else a fan of this show? (No spoilers!)

My fabulous blog readers. After my ranty FYF post last week, a couple of you hit my donation button to brighten my day and help keep me afloat! You know who you are & you are fabulous. As things stabilize (as they are already beginning to) I will be sure to pay it forward. :)
