31 days to clean

31 days to clean Having a Martha House the Mary Way is a Ebook by Sara Mae that I have seen all over other mom or homemaker blogs and it caught my interest. I'm always trying to figure out ways to keep my house clean and how to keep motivation to clean. I kept reading different post from different mom's that are having the same problem and reading this book to help change this. Joyful Mothering started a challenge that Homemaker by choice had accepted. I first heard about it through Homemaker by Choices blog and started to look into it. Today I decided I would buy it and download it to my Ereader and get started on the challenge too.

Day 1: Is figuring out the whys! Why do I want my house clean? If I can figure this out then it will help me have motivation to get it done.

I can easily list off several reasons...allergies, less stress, not searching for hours trying to find something, living a similar life...but to put it into sentences that mean somethings is a little difficult because I'm not normally a good writer but I will try and share it with you all.

My Mission Statement!
My Mission is to live a simpler life! To create a clean and clutter free home that has a place for everything so Rex can learn the importance of organization and we can have more quality family time without the presence of allergies that cause discomfort.

Day one complete!

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...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
