Day 1 of Being Motivated!

Yesterday was my first day of motivation to get things done. I'm wanting to get back into the swing of things after being pregnant and having Goose. So here are the accomplishments I made on my first day of being motivated and writing this list.
  • A shower! Very important with a newborn and a 3 year old, it doesn't happen everyday.
  • Both kids dressed and ready for the day, no jammies today ;)
  • Bible study completed!
  • A schedule/to-do list made, hopefully this one I will like!
  • 9 loads of laundry washed and folded and most put away!
  • Went through Monkey and Goose's clothes and removed everything to small and sorted it into garage sale and packing away.
  • All bedding changed, washed, and put away.
  • Started to reorganize the hall closet to get more storage.
  • Made some changes in the bathroom for more organization.
  • Cooked 3 healthy meals.
  • Read many stories to Monkey.
  • Went through all of the boys toys and put away 3 tubes worth of toys to rotate. Now all of Monkey's toys fit on his shelf and I created more room for him to play.
And this is what I'm left with to deal with today...

Clothes to be put away.


Garage sale boxes need to be sorted into baby, toddler, toys.


Put blankets and sheets into the hall closet and find a place for a few other misc. things. 
The toy tubes are put away.


The corner that the table is in use to be packed with drawer stacks full of toys and other misc. baby things.
I wanted to create a work space for Monkey to color and learning.


Finish organizing Monkey's clothes.
All toys now have a rightful place on his shelf and he has a reading corner with a basket of stuffed animals.


Finish getting new bathroom drawer stack (from Monkey's room) organized with all the bathroom items.


Get all of Goose's sheets and blankets put away in the hall closet and do some more organizing.

But before we complete any of this we will be heading out to the berry farm to get some fresh raspberries, strawberries, and peaches with our mom's group. It should be so much fun! I know Monkey will love it and it will be great to be outside after being inside all day working yesterday!

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...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
