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!

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
