Secrets of a Homemaker

We all have our secrets but homemakers, housewives, whatever you want to call us are sometimes in a league of our own! We have the perception that we sit around and eat bonbons all day, (man I wish that was true) but we are normally very busy raising our little ones and sometimes secrets just come with that terriorty. But today on Growing Up Geeky's Toddle Along Tuesday we are sharing some of those secrets with you. Come along and share with us what you keep from everyone about your daily life ;)

  • Showers have become a luxury and not a routine of everyday! The times that I get to shower when Hubby is home I take loooong showers whether I hear the baby crying or not. I think I deserve it after a long day and I think he deserves to care for a crying baby once in a while.
  • I love that my boys are on the same schedule for nap time! Why is that a confession? Because I don't mind staying up until 11 or 12 with him until he goes to bed at night. I don't mind being exhausted a few days a week from having too many 4 hour nights sleep. I miss going to bed with my hubby but I LOVE having at least an hour to myself in the middle of the day to do whatever I want to do!
  • I spend one day a week busting butt to get the house clean so I can slack off the rest of the week!
  • I love cooking for my family but hate the planning and shopping! I wish that I could hire someone to do that for me :)
  • I repeatedly forget things when I go to change Goose's diaper so I quickly run and get what I need leaving him on the changing table. I'm just glad he has yet to roll himself off but I know that the time is coming that he will or I have to stop leaving him there.
  • I enjoy having PJ days everyday that we stay home and I only change when I get that lucky shower or I get a text saying my hubby is on his way home. I have been known to hear him come in the door and run to the bedroom to change before he gets downstairs :/ Don't tell!
  • I prefer watching children movies & cartoons to regular TV. Well as long as they are age appropriate  I can't stand most of the junk that is on the TV these days. Man, I feel old saying that :)
  • I really hope that God gives us more kids even though Hubby is completely done. I love being pregnant. I love being a mom. And would love to have as many kids as Michelle Duggar. Well maybe not that many but I could handle a few more in our house!
OK it's your turn to share! Get some of those secrets off your chest! I bet you will feel better if you do!

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...
