1/52 Photos of Me
1/52 Pictures of ME!
I think this is the first picture of me and Izzy since she was a few weeks old! Can you tell she is drooling, notice how wet her shirt is!?I'm participating in a year long challenge, created by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. The goal is to be in one picture a week, for 52 weeks. Since us moms are always behind the camera, this gives us a chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with our family. So, click here if you want to join in on the fun!

Successful Shopping!
Another day at the grocery store. Winn Dixie had juice on sale for 99 cents a jug...so I decided to jump on that! Went ahead and did next weeks shopping while I was in there. My budget was $70! They were out of a few things on my list and I had to substitute a few dinner ideas. Either way...I still left spending only $64.41!!!!!!!!! Yay me!!!!

Planning to Win in 2010
So, once again...I am on a mission to get my life together. So much has happened in the last year, so planned and some not planned. Looking back I know everything happens for a reason! This year is going to be my year! The idea I have is to use this blog and other various websites to help make me accountable for my goals! I'm not considering these to be resolutions, but rather goals. These are things that I need to...MUST... change!
1. I plan to lose 40 pounds! Wow! I know right. However, I KNOW that I can do this and by golly I am going to do this.
2. I plan to save $1,000 on my grocery bills! HA! All the time I find myself reading these articles on these mom's saving all this money on the grocery bills. It's all very simple things that we can do, we just have to take the time to do it! So...I will save $1,000! Mark my word!
3. Cleaner house...not really sure how I will track this one, but I really desperately want to have a cleaner neater home. Don't get me wrong, I'm not living in filth, but I am certainly not living in a spotless home either!
4. A closer walk with God...This should be at the top of the list! I really want to work on this. This past year through some of the trials and tribulations we faced, I found myself leaning away instead of into.
I've already started the year off with a new job that equals less stress! YAY! It's all about the outlook!

Catching Up with New Routines
Wow, it's been over a month! Lots of changes have happened in our household! After literally 4 days of "Early Labor" our baby girl finally made her arrival at exactly 38 weeks. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 18.5 inches! She's absolutely beautiful and completes our family!
Munchkin#1 started pre-k as well. He was already used to going to daycare, but the private school he will be in later on offers pre-k and it's cheaper than daycare! The teachers are great and he loves it. Everyday she sends home a letter telling what they did that day and reminders. One of our youth at church takes him to school every morning, so of course he feels like such a big boy! Then again he is.
Munchkin#2 is in limbo. Not much has changed for him other than baby sister. He loves her dearly and wants to do anything and everything for her. It's very sweet.
So, with all these new changes naturally comes new routines. I've NEVER been a big proponent of schedules. Our lives are too hectic for one, but I gotta do something! So, I've devised a plan sort of. In order to get all 3 Munchkins up & to their destinations, I am going to have to get up at 5:30 am, not a good thing for me, as I am not a morning person. Hubs has to leave for work b/w 6 & 6:30 so he's no help! Anyway, Munchkin #1 is getting himself a chore chart. He ever so politely told me the other day "Mama, don't you remember? I cleaned up my toys yesterday, so I don't have to clean them up today. Don't you remember?" Yikes. I'm working on a really fun and cute board, and hope that he will follow along with it easily.
I feel like if I can life back in order, somewhat before returning back to work in 2 weeks, maybe it won't be so bad. Naturally, I won't be a strict follower of the routines and will have to learn to adapt, as our life is so "shoot from the hip" that there is no telling when or where we will be.
That's our life and I love it! We just need some organization! LOL
