Media Monday's

I'm linking up with Women Living Well with her Media Monday's. I know it's Tuesday but I just read her post from yesterday as well as one from Raising Mighty Arrows who is also linking up.


I don't know about most of you fellow bloggers but for me the computer and TV can be a great way to escape and most days for much longer that I ever plan on. Then there is also the mighty Blackberry that lets me know every email, facebook, twitter, text message that I get and I can get lost in that not to mention the endless apps and games that are available.


For the next 8 weeks I'm going to long my  hours that I'm on the computer. I'm going to first see how many hours I spend on it and then I'm going to put limits and restrictions on it. Having a business that is online can often get me distracted and even give me an excuse to be online. I have to keep working on things if I'm going to sell it to anyone else. They need to see what I'm doing but I need to change that to making sure it is healthy for myself and family.


So today I have been on here way to much. I'm going to finish this and then I'm turning my phone on silent (not off just in case the hubs needs to get a hold of me) and I'm going to go read the Bible and have my quiet time with the Lord while Rex is sleeping. Then I think we will head outside to the park after he is up so we can get some of that great Vitamin D and social interactions that require actually talking not just typing!


If you are interested in doing Media Monday's head over to Women Living Well and grab the button and link up and take the channel to look and see if media is affecting you family or your quiet time with God.

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...
