Secrets of a Homemaker

We all have our secrets but homemakers, housewives, whatever you want to call us are sometimes in a league of our own! We have the perception that we sit around and eat bonbons all day, (man I wish that was true) but we are normally very busy raising our little ones and sometimes secrets just come with that terriorty. But today on Growing Up Geeky's Toddle Along Tuesday we are sharing some of those secrets with you. Come along and share with us what you keep from everyone about your daily life ;)

  • Showers have become a luxury and not a routine of everyday! The times that I get to shower when Hubby is home I take loooong showers whether I hear the baby crying or not. I think I deserve it after a long day and I think he deserves to care for a crying baby once in a while.
  • I love that my boys are on the same schedule for nap time! Why is that a confession? Because I don't mind staying up until 11 or 12 with him until he goes to bed at night. I don't mind being exhausted a few days a week from having too many 4 hour nights sleep. I miss going to bed with my hubby but I LOVE having at least an hour to myself in the middle of the day to do whatever I want to do!
  • I spend one day a week busting butt to get the house clean so I can slack off the rest of the week!
  • I love cooking for my family but hate the planning and shopping! I wish that I could hire someone to do that for me :)
  • I repeatedly forget things when I go to change Goose's diaper so I quickly run and get what I need leaving him on the changing table. I'm just glad he has yet to roll himself off but I know that the time is coming that he will or I have to stop leaving him there.
  • I enjoy having PJ days everyday that we stay home and I only change when I get that lucky shower or I get a text saying my hubby is on his way home. I have been known to hear him come in the door and run to the bedroom to change before he gets downstairs :/ Don't tell!
  • I prefer watching children movies & cartoons to regular TV. Well as long as they are age appropriate  I can't stand most of the junk that is on the TV these days. Man, I feel old saying that :)
  • I really hope that God gives us more kids even though Hubby is completely done. I love being pregnant. I love being a mom. And would love to have as many kids as Michelle Duggar. Well maybe not that many but I could handle a few more in our house!
OK it's your turn to share! Get some of those secrets off your chest! I bet you will feel better if you do!

    OH my, this is me as well! I'm always in my PJs or yoga pants (I've never done yoga in my life) and if we're not going anywhere, footed sleepers it is!! Enjoyed the laugh!

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

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...

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 ...
