What Is A Mom To Do

Today I feel inspired! I will admit that part of this feeling came from me Needing to be inspired. You see, we are almost at the end of our groceries but not at the end of our week. This isn't a bad thing though! It means that I have been cooking more from home and eating out less, this in turn saves us money! So even when we had to spend $200 on the van this week I didn't panic like a normally do. This did leave me wondering what I was going to cook for today. I hate having to serve PB&J all the time, (even though I am pretty sure Kara can survive on it) so I started digging in the refrigerator. Eureka! I found soome leftover chili. Hmmmmm.... what can I make with chili that was different than burritos. I turned to my books for inspiration. I didn't find anything specific but I did start peicing an idea together. I took the chili and added a can of italian diced tomatoes, I wanted rotel but like I said we are out of just about everything lol. Then I added some ...

Hello Readers! I am here ending my busy day with ice cream and DWTS. Sometimes its the little things in life that make it all worth it. I feel bad for not writing. I guess that I was letting my general bad mood take over. You know how it is, job pressures (I am training for a management position yay!!!) and homelife can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed. And last week we added another thing, POTTY TRAINING!!!!! Kara has been telling me every time she potties in her diaper so I thought that it was time to start the fun. So we went and got the big girl panties and she even got some in her Easter basket and we set to work.  Day one: We started the day with our big girl panties and high hopes. We were very consistent, going to the potty every 30 minutes to try. We had many accidents but we stayed patient. Day two: After going all day with panties and just staying focused we rose to the challenge again on the second day. Same rules, but I will admit that it was a littl...

I know that I haven't written like I should. It seems that I have hit a bit of a dry patch. I was going through a really inspired phase. And like all phases it was just that, a phase. I am sure that it will be back. Even if I have to drag it back kicking and screaming! This little post is just the beginning of many thought that I have, thoughts that need to be aired out. I apologize if in the next few days this seems to be more like a public journal that a place to get cool mommy ideas. I promise that the fun and entertaining posts will return soon. I feel a season of change on the horizon. It is both exciting and terrifying. Now that I am beginning to see some light at the end of this tunnel I will begin writing again to tell the tale. Tonight though I think that i just need to rest. Don't think that I am all gloomy! I will leave you with some super cute pictures of miss Kara to brighten up the page a little! Kara got some very interesting glasses in her Easter baske...
