Could We Handle Any More?


Man could we handle more stuff right now? I'm not sure that we actually could but of course we will get through it like everything else.

Before we left for Colorado and when we got back Hubby worked his butt off trying to get progress done on the tiny house. I'm proud to say that we finally have electric and plumbing throughout our tiny house. Except for the boys room because it's still full of cabinets that we have to get moved out of there when it comes time to install them. He was actually even able to get half of the insulation up as well.


Isn't our tiny bathtub awesome! 

Progress made right? We should be so happy! Well we were. Then we came to the realization that paying full rent and finishing the tiny house was not going to happen in time for Baby Girl to arrive. So what's the next step? That's what we had to decide.

I know it's not pretty but it isn't really that bad. 
It was cheap which we needed and Hubby is able to fix all the problems with it before 
we move in and it will actually be pretty nice inside once we get done with it.

This is what we decided. This is going to be our new home for hopefully just a few months. We are currently staying on property of friends of ours. They have graciously welcomed us to stay on their property without paying rent but only helping with the regular bills that will go up with an extra family living there. Without these friends I'm not sure what we would be doing. I know it would add months to our move in timeline for sure.

So here's a revised version of our plan to move into the tiny house and onto our property. We are currently working towards getting our property set up to move the RV to. We need a power source weather it is through a company or solar. We also need to have a pump for our well. It will either be a solar pump with a tank or an electric pump, depending on our power route. All these decisions all come down to money. Isn't that how so many decisions are made?

We plan to work on the property and tiny house every weekend that we can between now and when Baby Girl arrives in hopes to be done before she makes her appearance. The plan for now is to keep the RV parked where it is until the tiny house is ready to move into.

This is going to be quite the adventure! It's not going to be easy and Hubby is going to be working tirelessly until we are moved in! Of course the boys and I are going to help as much as we can.

The best thing about all this...our tiny house will feel HUGE when we finally get to move into it! It's all about perspective right?

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...
