Day 4 of 31 Day to Clean

Day 4! Create a Sense of "Put Your Feet Up"! Well personally when you enter my home I feel like it is very inviting and that you can just walk right in and sit down and relax. One thing that has been bugging me is that I packed all out pictures when we thought we were moving and I didn't want to go through hanging them all back up again if we were going to be moving. Well I changed my mind. I went ahead and hung up all our pictures and now I feel so cozy at home (it's almost a bad thing). I love having pictures of family everywhere having fun and enjoying each other.

On our dining room wall (also our computer area).


Up our stairwell. I think this is my favorite set of pictures.


On our living room wall above our couch.

So now that I feel our house is looking pretty inviting and relaxing (and it must be working because Miah is passed out on the couch) I have two more things I need to do. One is buying extra padding to go under one half of our sectional as the hid-a-bed is bent and makes it uncomfortable to sit on but that is going to have to wait until Miah gets back to work and we know what his new job is paying. The other thing I need to do is clean the oven. I have a self cleaning oven but when it's done it doesn't look very clean so I made a call to my mom and she told me the only other thing to do is scrap it out. So here I go. I'm going to get the shop vac out of the basement and my Pampered Chef Scraper (which I love) and I'm going to scrape out my oven.

So no shop vac. Couldn't find it but the oven is cleaned. We have no microwave so that was the easiest job so far in my cleaning. Now it's off to cook dinner and enjoy some more family time.

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
