Being a stay at home mom is a tough job......

But I love it! It's been a while since I posted on here, an actual post. I have been keeping super busy being a mom. The kids are doing better and finally starting to get better... (knock on wood!) My days consist of taking care of the kids, and trying to organize my life/house..... We have 3 rooms that I have really been working on to organize they are getting better..... but still far from being there.... here are some pictures of my projects.... please don't look at the gross carpet or wallpaper.... eventually when we have some money and have done some of the other projects that need to be done first we will get them fixed......

Family Room, Notice all the papers on the floor that need to be filed away!

 Some of the projects I have been working on:

Books, Books, and More Books! I found like 5 boxes of books in my  red room to put away! We had to go buy a new bookcase!

Decorating/Organizing the Kids Room!

Obviously there is still lots of work to do...... but my hope is to be settle in, unpacked and organized by the end of March.... that will be our 1 year of being in the house mark. Hope I can do it with all the other things I want to do.
I am working on the kids's first year scrapbooks, sewing several things, potty training the little princess, and being a good mom. Can I do it???? Yes I can!

Updates!

Well, the Family Blog has been updated! You should go check it out!

What have I been up to.... well we have been cleaning, organizing, cleaning, organizing and cleaning some more. We have been trying to move all our pictures from the computer onto CD's. We rearranged the house a little. I have been trying to organize my craft room and just staying busy being a mom to my two adorable kiddos. Once things are organized I will post pictures. It will just take a while.

Oh I still have to post my New Years Goals, but that will be another day!

When Life Gives You Lemons....

So can I just tell you how much I hate allergies. The last two times I have gotten sick with colds it is right after I have had a major allergy attack. I have your typical allergies hay fever, but I am also immensly allergic to rabbits, hay and cats. The problem is my in-laws have a cat which my daughter loves, and try as I may I can't get it into her head not to touch the cat and unless I am outside with her it doesn't get enforced. Well two Saturdays ago we went to my inlaws to carve pumpkins, I came home and Sunday had a major allergy attack that medicine wouldn't touch. Then on Monday I woke up with a scratchy throat and by the end of the day my nose was runny. Little Prince started to sound stuffy on Thursday, and little princess got sick the next day. So even though Halloween is over I have not been able to work on anything as far as cleaning, organizing etc.... I did do one thing that I am proud of and that is make a menu for the week as we are trying to eat out a lot less. So I thought I would share my Menu for this week with you:

Sunday: Dinner with my Parents (Roast, Potatos, Gravy, Corn and Rolls. It was nummy.)
Monday: Frito's Taco Salad
Tuesday: Crockpot Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti (normally we do Taco Tuesday with my Parents, but this Tuesday we are taking a break.)
Wednesday: Taco Pizza
Thursday: Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
Friday: Chicken Noodle Casserole (I didn't find this one online.)
Saturday: Stack Dinners (A family recipe, this is to use the leftover veggies from earlier this week.)

Hopefully we can stick to this menu and I can continue to make a menu, to help us cut down on food costs.

I am also trying to get all my Christmas shopping and projects done before Thanksgiving, so that will take up some time.

So life will be busy, I want to organize/deep clean my house before the New Year.

I will be busy for the next few months, but it will be a good thing. Keep checking back for more updates!

Love,
