I have a little bit of me time while Tally is at school and Devlin is napping. I'm slowly getting things organized around here and getting things to run a little smoother. Who knows when I'll actually get the whole house decluttered and organized but at least I'm working on it! I've also been taking my exercise seriously this week and I'm determined to make it a habit this month!!
Tally is loving school. They take afternoon naps before they come home and she's always been cranky when woke up from naps at home, apparently things have not changed just because she's in school. The teacher says she's fine all day until they wake her from her nap, we've picked her up teary eyed several days last week and once so far this week. I'm not to concerned about it since she's fine up until after the nap. The teacher will start sending behavior charts home on Friday and I'm hoping we never have any issues with this.
I have a few book sitting in front of me, none of which I've started reading. I wanted to show the books but vox books area doesn't seem to be working today so I'll just name them.
"The Pretend Wife" by Bridget Asher
"Breakfast at Stephanies" Sue Margolis
"Women of the edge of a Nervous Breakthrough" by Isabel Sharpe
"Death by Chick Lit" by Lynn Harris
Now for a little bit of scrappy goodness that is way over due to be posted.
First goodies from Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials. Let 'Em Eat Cake Mega Kit on the first one and Wheels On The Bus Mega Kit for the second page!
And now a few Peppermint Creative goodies. Daditude Kit (which is free right now) and the Funky Free-The Whole Shebang
I've been in a funk the past few weeks, maybe even a month. I haven't been exercising or wanting to get out much. Talking to a friend I decided I needed to make myself exercise and maybe it will get my spirits up too. So I just finished my 18 min walk at home video, 3 days in a row so far. It's a start since I haven't been doing anything the past few weeks and I can definitely feel it. I guess I should just be happy my weight stayed the same during my "break" lol So far I am feeling better. I have a scrapbook crop tomorrow night, thanks Lisa for inviting me. I desperately need to get out of the house away from the kids. It's rare I get away from both for anything longer than a trip to the grocery store or getting my hair done. ;)
Devlin is doing well. He passed his hearing screening but they are going to check him again in a few weeks because he has a bit of ear wax that we might have issues with. We will meet his Speech Pathologist on Tuesday and start his therapy. I'm excited to see how much she can help him!
We went to the park on Tuesday... (I accidentally double sharpened my resized pics, ignore that)
and I even finished a page with Gina's new kit Spring Bloomers
I've been slacking on my reading a bit. I just finished Lethal Legacy the night before last and started on Bare Bones yesterday (1/3rd of the way through so far). Right now I'm looking into getting a container garden book. They are all checked out at the library so I'm thinking about hitting the bookstore on my way to get groceries tonight. Matt and I have really been discussing this since we don't have a lot of space in our court yard between our condo and garage but are wanting to grow a few vegetables this year. Will keep you posted on what we come up with on that one and if you know of a good site or book to research this more...please share! Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Gina has a new kit out called Zoom Zoom that is only 2.99 until March 11th! Great kit for little boys!
I can not believe it's almost Christmas. I have only wrapped a few things so far and I really only did that because it was their Christmas Eve pajamas they get to open tomorrow before their bath. I'll have to do the rest tomorrow night. Talk about last minute. lol
Few pages with Peppermint Creative products.
Figured everyone who is getting a card has gotten it so I'll share my Christmas cards!
I love when these come out. Such yummy stuff!
Can't believe Thanksgiving is a week away and I have no idea what I'm making to take to my parents. My grandmother is going to be up here from Texas. Mom is making the turkey and ham, my grandmother is making her stuffing and broccoli cauliflower salad. Now what am I going to make....
I made a page and recipe card (for someone Matt's works with) with Gina's Holiday Charm mega kit.
Wow I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since my last post.
I've been sorting through all of the baby stuff and clothes the kids have grown out of getting ready to donate to the Margaret Hudson Program in the next few weeks. We donated my Cavalier (my first car and the car Matt's been driving since we bought the Sportage) to the HOW Foundation this past week, it was beyond our means to fix it and wanted to give it to someplace that could fix it up and then give it to someone who needs it or sell it for the cause.
We did our yearly family picture on the 9th. I'll give a little sneak peak but don't want to show everything so the grandparents and family will get a cute surprise in their Christmas cards and calendars which have been ordered and should arrive here in the next few weeks so I can get them sent off the beginning of December. Now for a few pictures.
Now my book list, I haven't done this in a while so I probably have a few books that I've read but don't remember.
Finally read the first of the Bones books, Deja Dead and requested Death Du Jour yesterday.
I'm currently reading the 3rd book of the Bailey Weggins series 'Til Death Do Us Part
Matt and I will be married 7 yrs on the 30th and we're going to see Twilight and maybe get lunch somewhere. I'm hoping the craziness will calm down at the theaters by then and we won't be in a theater full of screaming 15 yr old girls. LOL
Tally wasn't feeling well this morning and threw up her milk. She seems to be feeling much better now so I'm going see if lunch wants to stay down. I also have tons of laundry to do today, please tell me how we go through so much clothes around here when we are at home most of the time?!? ;)
My designers are having sales. Gina is having a 50% off sale at DDE and Miss Mint is having a 30% off sale at Peppermint Creative. (ignore the typo in the graphic, sale is today through Nov 3rd)
The doctor thinks that this is still an allergic reaction. Going to continue to keep an eye on it but gave me 2 new prescriptions to give her and to check back middle of next week if it looks the same or is getting worse. If it looks infected of course call sooner.
Got one page to share with Gina's new October Idea Notebook.
