I decided to make a blog change.  Within the next week I will no longer be posting on this blog.  I set up a new one with a name that I like a lot better.  Bare Feet and Blue Jeans  will be our new site!

1.  I need to become a better cook! Hubby asked if the lasagna we had for dinner was homemade.  I was tempted to lie and say yes.  It was from a bag.  I really need to try some new recipes.  We eat the same stuff over and over and over. 2.  Oh the joy of two boys! Trying to put my 6 month old to sleep with a 2year old running around is nearly impossible.  3.  I'm Jealous! My boys have such

Matthew 6:25-33 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

One of the many inconveniences experienced by mothers is the public restroom changing table.  I have seen some changing stations in the most ridiculous places. One restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida had the changing table behind the door of the entrance to the bathroom.  Which means you can expect to get smacked in the back with a heavy wooden door anytime some comes in. Another place has the

I'm new to this world of blogging but I decided to jump on in with both feet.  I'm participating in this blog hop sponsored by The Adventures of Goober Grape and Monkey Man  and   Life of a Sippy Cup Mom, and  Mannland5 . I also found another blog, Toddler Awesome , that I really like and decided to participate with them also!

I need to either start learning about discipline or start drinking!  It's as if a switch was flipped as soon as Aaron turned two.  If he's told not to do something he'll go right ahead and do it anyway.  With a little grin on his face, he'll keep on doing what I told him not to do.  I started reading Love and Logic Magic but had to return it to the library so I won't comment on that yet.  I

I got this idea from a blog that I follow called   The McGlothin Family Nest.  It's a cute blog about an equally cute family.  Anyway, I have soooooooo much to be thankful for everyday.  Here's just a few. 1. My Husband - He is so very, very, very helpful! 2.  My Children - Adorable, healthy, funny, and bright. 3.  Our home - We have one 4.  My family - crazy but always there when I

I had planned on only posting once today but I'm irritated.  I met up with some mommy friends at the library for story and craft time.  During the craft time I noticed that the crayons had seen better days and the glue sticks were empty.  As I left,  I asked one of the employees about donating some supplies.  With many stores having back-to-school sales on supplies I figured it would be a nice

The new look was created by Jocelyn at Blogs by Jocelyn.  I wanted my blog to look awesome and eye-catching.  After realizing that I wasn't going to make it happen, I decided to let someone who knew what they were doing handle it.  The process was easy and I am more than pleased with the result. THANK YOU Jocelyn!

I follow several blogs but have never participated in a blog hop.  I decided to try this out. 1. Do you collect anything? Plastic bags, gift bags and I guess scrapbook supplies counts. 2.

When Aaron stops taking a nap!?! I don't even want to think about it!  I really look forward to the 2 hour toddler-free time each day.  Sometimes saying, "It's almost 1:00pm!", is what gets me through the day! I typically, use the 2 hour break to pay bills, prep dinner, facebook, read, blog or keep up with other blogs.  When Ethan was a newborn, I would sleep as well.  It was wonderful to be

I started a list of things that I wanted to get for the boys in February.  Whenever I go to the store I browse through the toy section and look at all the trucks, cars, little people, books, and games.  Well,

I'm going to lose it!  I think (and sometimes say) this every day!  Aaron is wearing me out!  He's so contrary all the time.  I guess this is the terrible twos.  I thought I'd get lucky and the phase would skip over us.  Nope! I make waffles, he wants toast. I put his sandals on him; he wants to wear sneakers. I put him in the stroller; he wants to walk. I let him walk; he wants back in the

Questions to ask a Babysitter: 1.   How long have you been babysitting? 2.   Do you have any experience babysitting for infants? 3.   How many children have you cared for at one time? 4.   What do you like about babysitting and being around children 5.   Have you taken a First-aid and CPR course?  If so, are you certified? 6.   Will you always be available on the days I'm scheduled to be in

Since I didn't get accepted into the Radiography program, I don't need full-time childcare.  I will need someone to watch both little fellas at my house.  This scares me! 1.  I don't want to hire some psycho who's going to abuse my kids. 2.  I don't want someone, in my father-in-laws words, "Casing the joint".  LOL! I hate the idea of having to interview someone.  People are always on their

I'm tired!  It's been a long day!  I mean long! My day started at 1:30am.  Thanks to Aaron!  He woke up crying.  I went in to his room and adjusted his pillows, put his blanket back on the bed.  I sat on the edge of his bed and patted his back.  By the time I got back in my bed it was 2am. At 3:15am  Ethan was up and ready to eat.  I changed and fed him thinking he'd go back to sleep.  Nope!

We had a pretty nice July 4th weekend.  Friday was business as usual.  Saturday my sister and brother-in-law came over and we watched the UFC fight between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin.  Brock Lesnar won.  Booooooo! On Sunday we drove to my sister's house  had lunch and went to the beach.  Poor Aaron was so tired.  We planned on timing the drive so that he could take a nap on the way to Aunt

We decided to start Ethan on infant cereal.  I wanted to wait until he was five months old like I did with Aaron but his digestive system had other plans.  When he was about 4.5 months old he had diarrhea (cha cha cha) and the pediatrician suggested that I give him some rice cereal to slow him down.  I didn't like the idea but hey he needed something.  He didn't really take to it at all.  The

Right now, as I type, Aa is sleeping in his big boy bed!  Yippee!  I'm excited and pleased.  His room is basically set up.  The walls are painted, the black-out shade is up, the valance is up and his name is on the wall. I can't take pics of the finished product until later.  I didn't think he'd sleep in there today.  I was fully prepared to put him to sleep in the crib as usual.  He asked to

I recently had my prescription for Zoloft increased from 50mg to 100mg.  I don't like being on meds.  I don't like the stigma attached to depression and anti-depressants.  I think, sometimes, doctors are too quick to whip out the little pad and pen.  But I'm no Tom Cruise!  At this time in my life I think Zoloft is a necessity.  I'd be an irresponsible fool not to take the medication as directed.

 I'm tired even though I've been sleeping better.  I'm easily agitated and it's not PMS.  I have little interest in anything.  I have a couple good books that I want to read but I can't get into them.  I have pictures that need to be organized and backed up; haven't done it.  I haven't updated Aaron's baby book and I've barely started Ethan's baby book.  I have exercise DVDs and a YMCA membership

I finally decided to buy a new diaper bag.  I originally had a navy blue Eddie Bauer diaper bag that I bought while pregnant with Aaron.  After having Aaron I quickly realized that the Eddie Bauer bag was not functional.  It had a lot of pockets but they were long and narrow.  I spent way too much time searching for things.  I found a Skip Hop Dash messenger-style diaper bag on clearance at

We showed Aaron his new big boy room.  It was a hit!  He likes to climb on and off the bed.  He also climbs up on the headboard and says, "climbing, climbing"!  He lays down on the bed with his giant stuffed dog and pretends to sleep.  We tried to get him to take a nap in there but it was a no-go.  I left the room and peeked in at him.  He was singing to himself and hanging half off the bed.

The Big Boy Room is almost finished.  I still need to:  install blinds, hang valance, put Aaron's name on the wall, and hang two decorative pegs.  I'm still thinking about artwork. Mark did all of the painting.  I did some touch up.

Since I've started this blog I've posted about a couple different subject matters.  I'm not finished with any of them by any means.  When you have children, nothing is really finished. I've been slowly but surely plugging away at different tasks during nap times, in the morning before they wake up and and night after they go to bed.

I feel overwhelmed.  There's always so much that needs to be done. The housework never ceases, bills always need to be paid, and meals need to be prepared.  Then of course there are all the things that I want to do.  I love to read, scrapbook, listen to music, watch tv, and make various crafts but when do I have time.  I make lists and more lists and I rarely get to the bottom of the list.  A few

We decided it would be nice to take a trip to the Jacksonville Zoo. These are a couple of the pictures.

We need a budget.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  We need a budget! I've suggested budgeting to Hubby a few times over the years.  He views a budget as a restriction.  It seems as though he thinks that if it's in writing it's a legally binding contract.  I view a budget as a plan of action.  It's used to tell our money where to go.  Unfortunately, I lack follow through.  I've made plans to

I arrived at the hospital at 7am for a scheduled induction.  I was started on pitocin which was gradually increased to cause stronger contractions.  The doctor came in at 9:00 to break my water.  It hurt!  Actually breaking my water didn't hurt but he tried to stretch the cervix and that hurt! I chose stadol to cope with the contractions after a few hours.  I used two of the breathing techniques

Today is Aaron's second birthday. I can't believe he's a two year old! We're not having a party, just cake and gifts. We bought him a basketball hoop, a water table and SpongeBob Square Pants pajamas. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo! Here are a couple of pictures from today.

I became a mother for the first time June 4, 2008.  Tomorrow Aaron will be 2 years old!  So the following is a list of 13 things I've learned in the past two years. 1.    That love just grows and grows and grows 2.    I'm a good Mom  (a very, very good mom...maybe even great) 3.    I love baby laughs, they warm my heart 4.    Watching a newborn grow into a toddler is amazing 5.    How to survive

I need to lose weight!  After having two kids only 19 months apart, I don't look too bad but I could certainly look better.  There's also the family history of Heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancer to think about.  My maternal grandmother died from heart and lung disease at the age of 54.  I want to be around for my children (and grandchildren) for a very long time.  We joined our local

Good grief!  I'm starting to get a little dismayed at daycare centers.  I know there are benefits to daycare and it will be a necessity in the future.  All three of the centers have been in the same price range so it's no that my favorite is exorbitantly priced. Anyway Daycare3 was a big fat fail from entrance to exit.  I'm going to make this brief and list the things I didn't like about it. *

In my head I know two children is enough.  In my heart I get a little sad.  I am a little sad that I won't get to experience the excitement of taking a home pregnancy test again.  I'm sad that I won't get to experience the excitement of the first OB appointment.  I'm sad that I won't get another first ultrasound and the nervous anticipation of seeing the heartbeat.  I'm sad that I won't get the

My husband got snipped today.  I thought about getting my tubes tied but after reading about Post-Tubal Ligation Syndrome, I decided against it.  At my 6 week post-partum check up my blood pressure was ridiculously high.  It was 156/98, which is unusual for me.  Because of my blood pressure being high my OB/GYN refused to put me on birth control pills. We had discussed vasectomy during the

I'm really, really, really good at wasting time.  I wonder how much free time I'd have if I didn't do the following. 1.    Looking for my keys 2.    Searching for Sippy cups 3.    Looking for Aaron's shoes 4.   Reading/posting messages on the Nest/Bump 5.    Facebook - but that's almost a necessity 6.    Blogs (LOL) 7.    Watching TV - gotta love the DVR 8.    Text messaging 9.    Daydreaming

We met up with our playgroup at a local pool.  I packed swim diapers, sunscreen, and a beach towel for Aaron.  For Ethan I packed bottles, diapers, and a hat.  I was woefully unprepared.  The other parents showed up with floaties, rafts, noodles, and other toys.  It's a good thing the other parents encourage sharing otherwise Aaron would have been bummed. To make trips to the pool more fun I

Daycare #2 is a little further of a drive from our home but it received a recommendation from a co-worker and is gold-star accredited.  The price is comparable to Daycare#1.  Many of the policies regarding drop-off/pick-up, illness, and supplies are similar. The differences between the two were notable.  First the woman giving me the information and tour was friendly, professional and very

I've started researching childcare options.  I've been a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) since Aaron was born.  I applied to a radiography program and if I'm accepted I will need childcare for the boys. I started by looking in my yellow pages and writing down the names/numbers of those centers on streets that I was familiar with.  Then I searched the state website by county and zip code.  From those two

As I mentioned in a previous post, we are planning to create The Big Boy Room. I'm still not finished clearing all of the junk out of the room but it's sooo hard to get anything done with two little ones around. My sister agreed to let us store at her house the furniture that was mine during my single days. I really like the furniture and don't want to just drop it off at goodwill. Since she

Below are quotes that summarize just a few of my thoughts on motherhood.A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~

All mothers long to hear their child's first word. I'm pretty sure most moms want that first word to be 'mama'. Aaron spoke his first word at nine months and it wasn't 'mama'. It was 'dada'!! From then on I would say 'mama' over and over and over in an attempt to get him to repeat it. He didn't say much more than 'dada' and other baby babbling sounds. I was told by pediatricians, magazines and

In my quest not to be on the show Hoarders, I've started throwing out some of my most prized possessions. Actually, it's just junk. I tend to be rather sentimental which leads me to keep movie ticket stubs, wedding favors, playbills, newspapers, magazines, gift bags, gift boxes, office supplies, out of date clothes/shoes, buttons, empty beer cans, bandaids from pediatrician appointments...I'm

Yep! I sure do. Everyday I hit the ground running. I set my alarm for 7:30am but I have yet to need it. Aaron and Ethan are my alarm clocks! Why did we have our kids so close together? Because we're not getting any younger! I'm thirty-four and Hubby is thirty-nine years old. Both pregnancies were considered high risk. I'd also rather not add the additional risk factors associated with advanced

Ethan, our second child, was born January 2010. A mere 19.5 months after Aaron was born. Ethan was born by repeat c-section. He was just as cute, healthy and adorable as could be. He is also a really easy baby. The only bumps along the road so far have been gassiness and very mild reflux. He found his fingers early and easily. Laughing, giggling, and smiling are his favorite hobbies. I can't

June 2008 brought Aaron into our world. He weighed 6lbs. 3oz. and was just incredibly cute! I had spent the whole pregnancy worried and stressed out but he was just perfect. When we brought Aaron home from the hospital, I was the typical worried new mom. I remember walking into the house and thinking, "Okay, what do we do now?" I checked to make sure he was breathing frequently. I held him

I met Hubby in 2003 on an (GASP) internet dating site. Yep that's right. We met online at match.com. He sent me a wink and I winked back. He sent me another wink but I didn't want to pay 24.95(or so) to join the site so I couldn't reply again. Now this is going to sound corny but it's true. I felt led to join the site and contact him before it was too late. So I paid the fee and that led

Somone told me a long time ago that prayer is when you talk to God and meditation is when you listen. I need to do both a lot more.
