A Brighter Future???

Hello all!
How is everyone? Hope all is well. Okay so there isn't much new here other then I am on a new kick of budgeting... I mean really I took note of all we eat and how often I do laundry and so on and well.. I need to try NEW tricks to budget. So I am a HUGE coupon clipper now. The thing is I have to get used to using them.. I always forget them at home. Another thing is portion size in this house is WAY to large. I mean I ALWAYS have left overs and guess where they end up.. TRASH, 2 weeks later! Plus I need to start making dish's that are less costly. A lil can go a long way. Plus we have changed the things we eat. Thats a whole need thing I will get into. Somethings you wouldn't believe. Anyways. I guess in the end it comes down to do I really WANT it or do I really NEED it. Guess which will have to do??? lol. In the end it all works out.

As for the diet thing. Something I would recommend is a series of books called.. "Eat this Not that" They have a Restaurant one, Kid one and Supermarket one! I LOVE them and have lost 5 pds from some simple switch's. My blood pressure has also went down.. LOVE it. Almost like a food bible. Really easy and you wouldn't believe some things you may have eat at or just ate period how bad it really is or was.. Crazy and I LOVE IT! Highly recommended!!!

Well off to get the mail and mop before the boys wake from there naps!

Take Care and Have a great weekend!!!

Happy 4th Birthday CJ!!!

Hey All!!!
How are you? hope all is well. Well today is my first born baby boys birthday and well it was a good and very busy day! Where does the time go?!? I just sit here and can't believe how fast the time has gone. Some things I want to say is -> CJ is a sweet heart and has been a pleasure to raise. He is so sensitive and so polite it amazes me that a lil boy can be so kind. The way he talks could melt you heart. I just really hope this kindness and sweetness doesn't let others take that as his weakness when he enters school next year. That sentence in itself is shocking.. school next year. I don't feel ready... Oh well it's something I hope he loves. Aww... My baby! Anyways the party was fun and yet another one done. I must say he made out like a bandit. I am just happy it was all he wanted. Well it's been a long day so I think I am off to bed!

One last time..
"Happy 4th Birthday CJ!"

Take Care!

I just can't believe it!

Hey all!
How are you? Hope all is well. Things are crazy busy here and well... I just can't believe that my first born son on Saturday will be 4 and next year will be getting registered for kindergarten... WOW. I am tryin to get the party in order and well lets face it.. 3 kids well it's HARD work!!! I would NOT trade them for the world tho. I can't EVER say I am bored cause well as a SAHM of 3 kids you know that doesn't happen EVER!!! I just wanna cry when I really think bout it... 4 yrs already! When, Why and how? I know Serina is double his age and well I guess I didn't see it til I really look back and I look at Matthew who is still a infant and realize just how fast that time goes. How much you try to remember what they were like and well there are things I don't remember and then those are the times I say well I will do that different this time around and so on. It's just crazy. I will always love my kids and think of them as my babies no matter how big they get! ( Which seems to be rather fast lately! ) On Saturday or Sunday I will have the whole lowdown on it all. Thats just something I wanted to say!

Have a GREAT week!

To Be A Kid Again???

Hello all!
How are you? Hope all is well. Things are alright here. Waiting for not this weekend BUT next weekend.. It's CJ's 4th Birthday!!! I can't believe it! So I am in the process of planning for it! I HAVE to make sure that people come. For some reason CJ seems to always get "Screwed" So to speak. Like last year we ALL had the flu so NO party and the year before it was something. Poor kid. So I hope this year is better. Anyways...

Do you ever think maybe we have kids because we want to relive our youth? I mean seriously there has been times that I find myself more excited then them to open a gift we go them. Weird huh? Or how I find myself wanting to play there games. How nice it would be to be 4 again.. No bills to pay or house to clean. Basically no responsibility. Makes you really think bout things like you are only this age once so make it as memorable as you can for them and in the end remember your only as old as you let yourself feel! Everyone is young at heart... (Think of that when you are in the toy isle saying-> Why didn't they have that when I was younger!) Aww.. to be a Kid again!!!


Take Care and Stay Young! (LOL)

5 Months Already???

Hello All,
How are you? Hope all is well. I am stunned and find it hard to believe that my youngest baby is almost a 1/2 yr old! Today marks 5 months. I can't believe it. He has really grown. That smile will melt your heart. He can pretty much sit all alone. Can roll and has been for a couple months and eats baby food! WOW!!! Amazing just how much time can change things! (There is also a pic above of him sitting alone!)

Anywhoo..
Valentines was fun. I made heart shaped pancakes with bacon for breakfast. Then we did some shopping. Then when we got home I made some pork chops, potatoes and corn. It was yummy! I got a new cell some candy and a card for my present. I was very happy. So that was that. 10 Valentines days together.. what fun! Well thats that. Hope you all have a great day!

Take Care!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Well Hello All,
How are you? Hope all is well. Today is Friday the 13th.. the day before Valentines day and well I would rather like to think it's Valentines or early Valentines. Due to the whole thought of today being Friday THE 13th! lol. Anywhoo.. Anyone got any good plans for the "Romantic" Weekend? Nothing here. We will do some grocery shopping tomorrow and I will make a nice dinner other then that NOTTA! lol. I don't mind tho. We only go out alone once a year or so. Anyways I DO have plans today. Serina is doing some Valentine activities at school and having a party too. SO I am coming in and bring cupcakes along with her sugar filled Valentines! lol. The parents are gonna love me! O well they were so cute at the store.. they have plastic rings in em and all different frosting and so on. I just couldn't pass it up! lol.

Other then that.. nothing new here. Kids keep me busy. Anyhow Matthew is mad in his saucer so I have to cut this one short!

HAVE A GREAT VALENTINES DAY!

Take Care!

Looking back...

Hello all!
How are you? Hope all is well. Well nothing too new on this end. This week was full and I mean full of birthdays and 3 parties. VERY busy and VERY fun too. After the whole week of fun and so on. We had 2 parties yesterday so we were gone ALL day and I have to say I was honestly beat. Then I realized I have a TON to do at home. All the bath's and showers along with 3 loads of laundry and all the other odd ends.. So what did I do. I got started early! So by noon most was done and now I am waiting on dinner!

I do however do more looking back.. Way back at times. There are lots of times I wonder..
Where did the time really go? Like Serina she will be 9 this year! I can't believe it. This is her last year of being a single digit! And well in lil less then a month CJ will be 4 and time to register for Kindergarten. As for Matthew well it's hard to believe that this time next month he will be 6 months and 1/2 way to 1 already. I am happy that they are growing and learning well on the other hand it's sad to look back and know that they will never need me like they did when they were babies. With each passing year they gain more Independence.. How weird that is. All in all it's a great thing too. Everything in life has it's perks and no so perks! Anyways I will call it.. it now time to eat. May your week be great!

Take Care!
