Looks Like I'm Already a Slacker!

Ok so it's been how many weeks since my last blog post?? We've been busy! I had a thrift sale, we've had play dates, errands, cleaning and all the other "fun" stuff us moms get to do. I hope to get back on track though, updating the blog at least weekly.

As for today, I manged to get my bathroom upstairs clean, wash all the bathroom rugs, vacuum the upstairs computer area and the steps. While I was vacuuming my 2.5 year old decided to lock himself in his baby sister's room. Thanks for giving me a heart attack Evan! At first it wasn't so bad because he was calm, but of course that didn't last long. He started to freak out and then the baby was trying to climb all over me and she was crying and pulling at me as I'm trying to mess with the door knob that I removed. Finally Daddy came to the rescue and was able to get the door unlocked. I certainly hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon, but at least now I know how to get it unlocked :) 

This weekend we plan to go to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, hopefully we won't die from the heat. It's supposed to be 97 degrees on Sunday, I have no idea what it will be with the heat index.  Oh, and on another fun note, we just found out that the savings account that was opened for us from our last auto loan has a balance of over $50 and we never made any deposits to it. Yay for free money!

Hope you all (all 3 of you "followers" haha) are having a fabulous Friday and enjoy a great weekend!

Not enough hours or motivation in the day

My house needs cleaning, I *should* be "studying" on photography stuff, I *should* find an art project to do with Evan, I *should* be updating the baby books, I *should* get all of the cloth diapers put together and there's more things I *SHOULD* be doing. However, I lack the motivation to do any of it. I honestly could keep my day busy between cleaning, cooking, organizing, and couponing that I would hardly have time left to enjoy with my kids. It's a constant battle for me. Some sun and warmth sure would help! At least we could spend our time outside then. So for today since there's no chance of sun and warmth, I'm going to challenge myself to get my kitchen cleaned up, spend 15mins on photography stuff and spending the rest of the time with my kids and maybe finding something fun we can do inside today. What will you challenge yourself to do today?

Let's get things rolling

Well here is my first blog post. First off I just want to thank anyone who reads this and hopefully you'll decide to come back. I hope I can entertain you all with stories and quotes from my wacky 2.5 yr old and share some joyous moments and celebrating "firsts" with my 7 month old. As well as our struggle to get by on only 1 income. My life isn't perfect and I do have rough days which I'm sure I'll have posts that will reflect that. It's going to be a bumpy road as I get things started and figure out this whole blog thing so please bare (or is it bear??) with me :)
