Gearing up for spring

I have spent the day re-organizing my workspace and calendar. Part of that was looking into spring program registrations for the kids. Swim lessons for all, trial lessons of Tae Kwon Do for the older two, dance for Pixie, and soccer and spring hockey for my boy. OH but first we need to finish up the winter hockey season with two tournaments. One this weekend and our host tournament mid-March.

The most exciting change for me is that I am now an offical Educational Consultant with Discovery Toys! My kit will come next week and then its down to business to see if I can make a business of it. I am very optimistic starting out (perhaps overly so but I am hoping that my optimisim drives me to excel).

Here is to all things new!

Its good to be busy with a purpose

I have begun my enterprising of finding alternate sources of income so that I may ultimately stay home with my children and not have to return to work come May. I currently have a 2 year old that I watch a few mornings a week and I am on a backup list for a lady in the community that does dayhome. Also, as of today I have signed up to be an Educational Consultant with a fabulous company called Discovery Toys. I am very excited about this opportunity and hope to make the most of it.
Life itself is busy righ t now also with the winding down of the hockey season and tournaments as well as various appointments, coffee dates, and an upcoming out of town wedding.
I am feeling ready for spring and revel in the hope the sunny days bring.

Let the Sun Shine in

Wow! What a glorious morning. The sun is beaming in my back windows and making my house glow. The warmth of the sun feels like being wrapped in love. THIS is the way to start a week with a sense of optimisim and renewed energy. I am actively researching oportunities that would allow me to stay home with the children and that makes me feel good.

Time Slips Away

Well, I thought I would be doing better about keeping up with this blogging thing but it seems that stopping to take a few minutes for myself is low on my priority list. I am recommitting to taking a few minutes daily to stop in here and jot a couple of words down.

A short yet busy month ahead

Just finishing putting all the important dates onto my calendar and taking a look at the month ahead. Although it is a short month we have a full schedule with hockey, appointments, a birthday party, our anniversary, valentines day and some other activites that we are looking forward to. I am excited about continuing to work on develping new habbits and making a conscious choice to make this a healthy year for all of us. I am starting to get into the enjoyment of home management and all its challenges. Most of the time I feel like I am just getting things done (and usually just as they need to be) but I have had a glimse of getting on top of things and being prepared ahead of time rather than rushing around last minute and hope to solidify this pattern over the coming weeks. I have my little office space set up and functional now and hope that assists me in being more consistent in journaling here as well as keeping up with the ever increasing flow of paper required to manage our growing family.

Alright, off to finish putting supper together and get everything together for a late hockey game.
