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.

Things I Love Thursday

Sebastian - WarbyParker frames

WarbyParker.com. I have been searching for the perfect glasses and their frames are definitely on my wishlist! The site lets you virtually try on glasses and I’ve been testing pairs on my face – And playing around by putting spectacles on Sebastian!

Baby sign language. Sebastian has been signing for “milkies” (which really means tired or thirsty depending on the context) for a few weeks now, and has now added a sign for “food” and a sign for “flag”. Flag he invented on his own – The kid loves flags!

Stevia. I’ve been adding the zero calorie sweetener to coffee, tea, and Greek yogurt. We bought a bunch of cute little packets for my tea tray. I’m not much of a sweets person but it’s great to have a cal-free alternative when I do have a craving. If only they could make savory foods calorie-free!

My ‘new’ shorts. Cut, cuffed and stitched a pair of my husband’s old CCS jeans into shorts earlier this week when it was 90+ degrees outside. They sit just above my natural waist and I’m just in love with them, especially with a belt.

LOTD 'new' shorts :)

What are you loving this week?

    My new love is Stevia too! I’m kind of scared to use Splenda now and Stevia is not 100% proven safe but at least it’s better.

    Baby boy so adorable. <3

  3. baby sign language is the bees knees! I don’t know how people parent without it sometimes!
