So I'm Back!

So I'm back from my wonderful break from reality. Going to OK was fun and I really enjoyed not being in the normal routine of everyday life, although I did spend most of my time watching kids and cleaning up after them, it was still different and mostly relaxing. While I was out there I figured that I gained all my weight back but when I got home and got on the scale I'm proud to say I didn't gain a pound. Which I have to tell you between all the Chinese buffets and Braum's ice cream runs I'm pretty shocked that the number didn't go up. Just one more note about my trip I have to acknowledge my sister-in-law as one of the bravest and strongest women I know personally. She has so much on her plate and she is able to deal with everyday life without making it look difficult. I'm super proud of her and all she is doing for herself and her kids. It's awesome to see.
Today was Rex's 2nd birthday party and although we had several last minute changes like place and time it worked out really well. He had to get everything done in an hour so it was pretty fast paced but with a bunch of kids what do you expect to do. They don't like just hanging around talking like us adults.

We started off doing a craft which I think most people thought I was crazy doing because we made hand print cars. Yes, I had kids paint their hands and put them on paper and then paint on tires to make cars. I personally thought it was really cute and I have to say it was so much easier to do it with so many adults around to help. I use to do this all the time when I was teaching preschool but it was just me and my assistant teacher with 20 kids. Today was a breeze!
Right after we got that cleaned up we sang Happy Birthday (which kind of freaked Rex out) and then had cake. I'm so proud of my boy...he didn't even eat all his cake! I gave him a pretty big piece thinking "It's his birthday, he can have sugar" and then he shows me that he doesn't even want it all.

After cake was presents and he had so much fun opening them all up and he got some awesome things...talking dino's, blocks, cars, race car mat, bubbles, puzzles, coloring books, a monkey and some adorable clothes for this summer!

He is one spoiled child. Tonight from his other Grandma he got a whole box of different animals, a doodle pad for the car, and a bat and ball. And a sneak peak for tomorrow...more presents! A new bike, a Buzz Lightyear, and Toy Story 2 and 3. Next weekend...Garage sale to clear some room for the new toys but it looks like it will be mostly Mom and Dad things going and just some of Rex's.


 



Have a good night everyone!

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...

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...

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...
