Day 3 of 31 Day to Clean

So day 3 of 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae went well. Since we hired someone to come in and do our spring cleaning and she dusted all of our cabinets and behind our refrigerator and oven I didn't do the dusting part but we have lived here for over 5 years and I don't think that we have ever polished our dark wood cabinets (if we did it was right when we moved in) and I have to say they look awesome. We are suppose to be moving in the near future so I debated about doing this but I figured why not make it look nice while we are here and then they will still be nice for the next person when they move in. I also polished out china hutch and it looks awesome. It belonged to my grandparents and I have had that for almost 10 years and have never polished it. It looks awesome too! So excited to have everything nice and shiny!

I also know what my family needs that makes them the happiest about the house. Less clutter and less dust/dog hair. Both Miah and Rex have allergies and if I can keep the clutter down it makes it easier to dust which is good for me but they both get more stressed the more stuff that is out and around. So my goal everyday is to pick up as much as I can around the house and to get rid of everything that we don't need. I also make Rex clean up his toys before lunch and before bed time so that after nap he's not stressed from all his toy mess and same in the morning. He really does do great. I also normally have him clean up his toys before Miah comes home for work when he was working in state. Now that he's home all the time and looking for a job he has to deal with toys everywhere because that's the way it is with kids. He really doesn't mind.

No pictures of our kitchen today but I will tell you our cabinets are nice and shiny!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
