Day 4 of 31 Day to Clean

Day 4! Create a Sense of "Put Your Feet Up"! Well personally when you enter my home I feel like it is very inviting and that you can just walk right in and sit down and relax. One thing that has been bugging me is that I packed all out pictures when we thought we were moving and I didn't want to go through hanging them all back up again if we were going to be moving. Well I changed my mind. I went ahead and hung up all our pictures and now I feel so cozy at home (it's almost a bad thing). I love having pictures of family everywhere having fun and enjoying each other.

On our dining room wall (also our computer area).


Up our stairwell. I think this is my favorite set of pictures.


On our living room wall above our couch.

So now that I feel our house is looking pretty inviting and relaxing (and it must be working because Miah is passed out on the couch) I have two more things I need to do. One is buying extra padding to go under one half of our sectional as the hid-a-bed is bent and makes it uncomfortable to sit on but that is going to have to wait until Miah gets back to work and we know what his new job is paying. The other thing I need to do is clean the oven. I have a self cleaning oven but when it's done it doesn't look very clean so I made a call to my mom and she told me the only other thing to do is scrap it out. So here I go. I'm going to get the shop vac out of the basement and my Pampered Chef Scraper (which I love) and I'm going to scrape out my oven.

So no shop vac. Couldn't find it but the oven is cleaned. We have no microwave so that was the easiest job so far in my cleaning. Now it's off to cook dinner and enjoy some more family time.

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...

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...
