April Vacation...

D is in Kindergarten. With that, comes vacation weeks. Vacation in December comes just after Christmas. It is filled with the excitement of new toys and the first big break of the year. It goes by fast and it is a welcomed break. Then, we get to February vacation. Most years, I feel like this is so unneeded. January and February, and sometimes even December and March, are filled with snow days and an entire week off in the midst of it, enough! This year, however, we had only a couple of days off and my son used that week to recoup from sickness after sickness. And now... we are April vacation...

I am exhausted. It is Wednesday. We have five days left. Aye, aye aye. 

We spent the weekend enjoying the beautiful weather and hitting up some fabulous playgrounds in the area. We probably could have used a day to relax from all the go-go-go, but instead, we spent Monday, visiting a botanical garden. It was beautiful, it was fun, it would have been so relaxing without all the bickering and whining :) 

I decided that we would spend our Tuesday as we usually do. We went to story time at our local library. D is usually in school during this activity, so W LOVES having him there with us. She dances a little bit bigger and laughs a little bit more. 

Where do we go from here... 

I am tired, but I will be more tired sitting around. Keeping them busy keeps them happier. Keeping them happy, keeps me sane!! 

Howdy!

Who really know how to start a blog?? So, I am just going to give a quick word on why I am here.

I am a stay at home momma for my two kids, D and W. D is a 6 year old little man who loves everything from art to dirt. W is a, almost, 3 year old little girl who wants to do everything her brother does with just a touch of daintiness. I have a husband, Daddy, who works his butt off to make it possible for us to have someone home with our kids as they grow and find themselves in these first few years of their lives. I am thankful that we can make that work, although it is anything but easy.

Over the years, because of our choice to have one of us home, we have struggled to stay afloat with only half of our income. Making that choice shouldn't mean that we can't have good food, good decor and good fun in our lives. We just have to find creative ways to make it happen. If we can get past the chaos of our crazy schedules and our tight quarters, we seem to be living pretty darn good.

If this blog can help even one other family make ends meet and feel better about their situation, then it has done its job :)

I will also share the normal struggles or triumphs of our life and welcome any help from other mommas around the world.

I Once Had a Blog...

I had a blog going a few years ago and it fell by the wayside when other things started to take up more time. I am going to link it here just in case and so I can more easily find it.

Excited to start anew and see where I can take this!
