Day 1 of Being Motivated!

Yesterday was my first day of motivation to get things done. I'm wanting to get back into the swing of things after being pregnant and having Goose. So here are the accomplishments I made on my first day of being motivated and writing this list.
  • A shower! Very important with a newborn and a 3 year old, it doesn't happen everyday.
  • Both kids dressed and ready for the day, no jammies today ;)
  • Bible study completed!
  • A schedule/to-do list made, hopefully this one I will like!
  • 9 loads of laundry washed and folded and most put away!
  • Went through Monkey and Goose's clothes and removed everything to small and sorted it into garage sale and packing away.
  • All bedding changed, washed, and put away.
  • Started to reorganize the hall closet to get more storage.
  • Made some changes in the bathroom for more organization.
  • Cooked 3 healthy meals.
  • Read many stories to Monkey.
  • Went through all of the boys toys and put away 3 tubes worth of toys to rotate. Now all of Monkey's toys fit on his shelf and I created more room for him to play.
And this is what I'm left with to deal with today...

Clothes to be put away.


Garage sale boxes need to be sorted into baby, toddler, toys.


Put blankets and sheets into the hall closet and find a place for a few other misc. things. 
The toy tubes are put away.


The corner that the table is in use to be packed with drawer stacks full of toys and other misc. baby things.
I wanted to create a work space for Monkey to color and learning.


Finish organizing Monkey's clothes.
All toys now have a rightful place on his shelf and he has a reading corner with a basket of stuffed animals.


Finish getting new bathroom drawer stack (from Monkey's room) organized with all the bathroom items.


Get all of Goose's sheets and blankets put away in the hall closet and do some more organizing.

But before we complete any of this we will be heading out to the berry farm to get some fresh raspberries, strawberries, and peaches with our mom's group. It should be so much fun! I know Monkey will love it and it will be great to be outside after being inside all day working yesterday!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...
