Currently...July

Join up with Farley's Linky!  You will meet so many fun bloggers!!
I have been listening to Diego since my oldest r daughter was 18 months old.  Go Go as she called him was one  of her first words.  He has made a comeback in my car since we have been watching Diego DVD's and now my 2 year old daughter can't get enough of him!  He is like family around here!  My washer and dryer have been working over time and I decided I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with laundry, mostly with putting it away...so  decided I would just do smaller loads and I actually get the clothes put away instead of living out of laundry baskets day after day.  My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with shoes and likes to take mine off and wear them.  Just now she was laughing at my toe nails needing some work! 

I am loving my smaller loads of laundry since I don't have clothes laying around everywhere!  My hubs is happier to.  I have just opened a store on TPT and I may be getting in over my head, I am very excited about it and how my teaching blog is taking shape.  I don't have many followers yet, but I am sure that will come as I build my product list and get some of my stuff pinned on my pinterest board!  My third child, my only boy will turn 1 on July 4th!  He came a little early last year and was definitely fireworks for my hubs and me, but he has completed my family and changed us in so many wonderful ways, just as I knew he would. 

I am thinking about getting all my bills under control for once and getting my family budget straight and tight.  I am kind of a cheap-o and am probably the only woman in the world who does not really like to shop.  Hubs thinks I am freak of nature, but he is the family shopper, not me.  I go do the grocery shopping and anything else is scheduled!  I have made a ton of back to school work for myself this year actually making a color scheme for my classroom this year!  But that's ok!  It will make it fun and inviting place for kids to learn.  I am even thinking about doing home visits for the first time this year.  I really connected with my students and their families last year, I want to keep that going this year!  I think I have a great group lined up and am VERY excited about that!  I have half a million things to do for my baby boys party mostly house cleaning.  Our WHOLE family is coming to this party and I want the house to be like Better Homes N Garden clean!

I SO NEED A NEW COMPUTER!!!! I have deleted my currently jpeg about six times because the keyboard is jacked up and the cursor jumps all over the place.  My printer is an older dell 810 all in one and the print quality is not good.  Nothing looks really vibrant when its printed.  Hubs says my stuff looks cheap!  He's a cop, he just blurts out what he thinks!  I need to learn how to "grab buttons" from other peoples blogs.  I don't know how to do that or where to put them on my blog.  If you have any tips or hints on that please let me know!!!  I have three kids and there are some nights when my husband works late and I am like a single mom with three kids.  They all need me so much because they are so little.  Tonight I wanted a couple of mommy clones because at one point, everyone was crying!  I almost cried too...but I got my big girl pants on, sucked it up and powered through.  Now we are all in bed and I am finishing this Currently!

My Tip...Once my 4 year old daughter started playing 1-2-3 clean up, I haven't had to clean up one of her messes!  She tells me to count each time there is something to clean up and VOILA, the mess is cleaned up!!!

  1. Love your tip! It must be something about the age... my daughter asked to vacuum yesterday. The vacuum was as big as her, but she managed!

  3. Thank you Marie for joining me! I am a horrible money manager but I was reading an article just this morning in a Mary Kay magazine and it was some advice from the late Mary Kay Ash herself. She said to look at where you want to see yourself in a year and make a plan and work out a goal time line, daily, weekly, monthly. I think I am going to apply that to my budget, my TPT store and my children and my students!
