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...

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 ...
