Spring Cleaning TEAM!

So here I am being the stereo typical housewife that has hired a cleaning to crew to come and take care of my house. No I'm not to lazy to get it done but I am pretty busy and the older Rex gets the busier I seem to get. So this past weekend while Miah was home his allergies were killing him. He could breathe in the house because of the dog hair lovely Sassie leaves behind. We think it was especially bad this week because the house was locked up for the whole 10 days he was gone since I was gone too. I tired all weekend long to get stuff done in the house to make it better but I over did it and now I'm out of commission because I irritated my back. (I have a love hate relationship with my back injury). I'm planning a yard sale for this Saturday and everything that I put outside on the yard will not be coming back in. Either I sell it or it gets loaded in my car and dropped off somewhere. Miah has been begging me to do this for years and so instead of asking me to get the house clean this week while he's gone (really really clean not just clean) he wants me to keep working on getting everything we don't need out of the house. He knows because of my back I can only do one or the other so he told me to hire people to help me. Ya! I'm super excited and can't wait to have my house sparkling! So Monday the cleaning people come and Wednesday the carpet cleaning people come and Thursday a happy and hopefully allergy free hubby arrives! Busy week ahead of me but this is the best birthday gift I could have gotten!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Today I'm thankful for the snow outside and the fact that it has kept my hubby home with us today and the fact that just using google and a few other blogs for ideas I was able to find out how to make a link up!  Link ups are fun and I can't wait to read what everyone else is thankful for this month! Grab the button, link up, follow along or just read! It's up to you! <center><a href="http://www.theheartofahomemaker.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd424/Kari_Snellbaker/BLOG-thankful-1.jpg"/></a></center>

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
