TAT: Mommy & Me

I adore my boys! I can't imagine life without them! However, there aren't too many pictures of us together because I'm always the one behind the camera. I think that is most mom's complaints ;) 


I try really hard to not let myself freak out when Monkey wants to hold bugs and other things that I would never want to touch! Picture here is the praying mantis that we found while waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July.


Then there is the wanting to paint and create artful things things that always end up with a mess. But that's part of having kids and I do love watching Monkey design and create things!


And let's not forget all we go through to bring them into the world! The whole nine months of craziness (is there any other way to describe being pregnant?) and of course labor and delivery. It's all worth it to me! I would do it over and over again just to see a new face that my husband and I created together! 


And then there are the great quiet moments that we all can enjoy! This is when Goose and I got to enjoy some outside time while Monkey and his cousins were playing.


And storytime before bed or in our house all day long! Monkey loves stories and I think that Goose will too! I think this is my favorite time of day because we get to cuddle up and learn. Even from fun story books we learn things.


I think that being a mom is the greatest job in the world and I would never trade it in the world for anything! Being a homemaker makes it easy for us to have Mommy and Me moments everyday some have to be intentional and many just happen!

    I also love story time before bed. I just wish Carina wanted to read more than 1 story over and over again ;)

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...

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...

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...
