I'm Baaacckk! 2019 Goals

I know, I know. I took a several year hiatus. Life happened. But, I've thought about this blog and have been aching to write again, so here I am. I am back. In fact, I made regular blogging one of my 2019 goals (I don't like the word resolution).

While, I am just now writing my first blog post, I have been spending time doing other blog related things. I have been planning what I want to talk about on my blog and coming up with ways to promote my blog.

I am hoping this year brings big things and I want to share it with all of you.



My other New Years Goals (and therefor things I will be blogging about) are:

1. Be Healthier. Eat Better. Lose Weight. I have started the Keto Diet and am learning so much. I started out at 155 lbs and my goal weight is 120 lbs. I can't wait to share this journey with you.

2. Control my money. Budget. Plan. This is almost always a yearly goal for me. I will be trying to stick to a strict budget to save some money and also looking at ways to supplement my income.

3. Have more Experiences. Take Vacations. Do things. This goal really helps motivate me to accomplish goal number 2.

4. Bullet Journal. I find this to be therapeutic and it helps keep me organized and on track with my other goals. Win-Win.

I will of course still be talking about my daily life, parenting, marriage and life in the classroom.  I hope you will join me for all of my journeys this year. 2019 is going to be a good year!

I am a working mom

It is no secret if you know me at all, I am a working mom.  I work full time. I leave my house at 6AM and barely make it home by 6PM, Monday through Friday.  And then I work overtime some nights and weekends...like today.  I am spending my Sunday working overtime.  And then I also do photography on the side to make extra money. And I am active in my church's childrens ministry.  It gets to be alot.  Our lives are very hectic and sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Are my priorities right? I believe my work is important.  I believe my work is necessary for my families survival.  Sometimes my work is needed for my sanity.  Even with a crazy work enviorment, sometimes it is mental break I need to function at home. However, as my children get older, the more I realize that I am missing thier lives.  I've daydreamed about becoming a stay at home mom, but let me tell you, the numbers don't work.  Even if we gave up all the ammenities...

The Project

The project is simple. Write the maker of a product every day for a year. Do not ask them specifically for coupons as I did in the Coupon Mania post. Do not write regarding any particular product more than twice in a year. Do not write any particular parent company more than four time is a month (or once a week). Be honest in what you write, give feed back, ask questions. (NOTE: While I have these categorized by parent company, I never wrote to any parent company more than one time in a day.)

Mommy Kisses

WARNING: YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST WHILE EATING... My daughter has been sick since Thursday, running a high fever. Luckily its just an ear infection and not the flu. However early Sunday morning (and I stress Early, well before 8AM) my dogs started barking and woke Shiloh up. Since I was not ready to get up, and she didn't look like she was ready to face the world either, I took her into my room and laid back down with her. I was in a light doze, and she seemed to go in and out of dozing with some wiggling in between. After one wiggling bout, she started whining and I opened my eyes just wide enough to see her holding her hand in the air. Now at 19 months old, we are heavily following the "I hurt it, so mommy kisses it and its all better" philosophy. I naturally assumed the hand or finger had been pinched, rolled on, or otherwise "hurt" and needed a mommy kiss so we could both go back to sleep. I kissed it, and that is when I realized...THERE WAS ...
