Blessings

One thing that I am sure will become evident as this blog grows and you get to know me is that I love to organize things. On that note, today's blessing is especially significant to me. I have been wanting to reorganize my pantry and drygoods but have been lacking the means to do so. All those various shaped and sized bottles and bags drive me crazy. Today I received two armfuls of Tupperware for free! These are the real deal and did not cost me a penny. A family friend is in the process of clearing out her cabinets and storage and was looking to get rid of these along with more so I will be organizing my kitchen until my heart is content over the next little while. Thanks Deb.

On a side note, we have started the process of renovating our upstairs bath, or kids bath as it will soon be. I suppose I really should say re-started as this project first began just after we moved in here 7 months ago and got put on hold due to other priorities for those funds. Regardless, we are ready to go again and are looking for tile to complete the resources we need on hand to finish the project. I did some browsing today and got some ideas. Going to meet up with DH (Dear Husband) tomorrow over lunch and go check out another tile store and maybe even purchase :-) hehe that would make me happy! I can't wait to get the kids out of our master bath, I may even be able to keep it clean without them in there.

I did buy some things today but for the main floor bath. After I did my big cleaning on it this week I redecorated and am motivated to get it painted and updated. That would make two rooms done and many to go. Waiting for DH approval before I switch out the light fixture and faucet then all I need to do is paint and change the door handles. I am putting this on my projects to complete in January list and hope this helps make it come to fruition.

Thankful to be home

Today is one of those days that even though the kitchen counters are piled with dirty dishes and I have more dirty laundry than I can get washed in a day and the house is generally looking tired and worn out (much like I feel) I am glad to be home. I am blessed to be here with my two little girls knowing that I will be the one to greet my son when he comes home from school in a few short hours. The girls are angelic today and I am getting my fill of hugs and loves which makes my heart overflow with joy and peace. There has to be a way of working things out so that I can stay home with these beautiful children.

Just a short post again as I am being told it is lunch time.

Back to it

Today marked back to school for CJ and an attempt for the rest of us to jump back into a new schedule. It still needs working out as KK's routine has changed over the Christmas break and Pixie doesn't always nap in the afternoons. I also have some extra errands that need taking care of this week so need to fit them in somewhere. It is my goal to have a workable plan in place come Monday.

I have been doing alright with my resolutions the working out is easier than the avoiding sweets, lol. Consistently burning those extra calories seems to leave me munchy. Trying my best to make healthy choices but still giving into the sweets left over from the holidays.

I am going to keep making at attempt to jot something down here on a daily basis and hope that I get more consistent.

Happy New Year!

Alright, so consistency is not my strength but I am making a resolution to work on that trait and will be accountable for my progress by daily jotting something down here.

As we greeted the new year, my family sat down around the kitchen table and discussed what our New Year's Resolutions would be. I think that together we worked out some really good goals for the year including fitness, lifestyle, and personal.

It is my intention that this blog will serve as a daily journal for me to track my progress in certain areas and to relate the curiosities of life at home with my three children (CJ, Pixie, & KK).

Alright, at least I have something here for today and hopefully, I will have a few minutes later on to write an actual post.

Blessings!
