Hobbies

My husband has Hobbies. Yes plural! It's all good he needs the hobbies to stay sane. He plays guitar (totally self taught) and he has a Camaro. Which he has rebuilt 90% of it. I love that he has things that he loves.

I myself not so much a hobby girl. I mean don't get me wrong I love to craft as much as the next one. And I even at one point had a little side business with my craft stuff, however becoming a Mom changed my time.

I don't have the time to put into the craft business. I barley have time to use the bathroom clean the house most days.

Being a work outside of the home mom is hard. I'm not trying to discount stay at home mom's or work from home mom's because lets get real those are equally hard. It's just working outside of the house is a different hard. A I'm not home alllllll day and when I am home so is my baby and husband and dog(he never leaves weirdo) and they all pull me in a million directions until bed time and then when I wake up oh yeah that's right I have to go back to work kind of hard.

I chose to work outside of the home. We need the health insurance. Which is now changing anyway. But even if we didn't, I don't know if I could be a stay at home mom. See I give huge props to any parent out there who stays at home and there are days I long for that but I don't know if I could do it. OK I take that back I know I could do it and would maybe even love it but it's not my reality so I don't let myself go there. I can't because I would go into a tail spin.

When I was on my extended maternity leave I chose to work from home for a few weeks to have more time with my chubby babe and it was HARD. My job is time sensitive so there is no oh the baby is crying I can finish this later. Nope my job does NOT work like that. So I knew right then and there that even if my company allowed it, that working from home would not be an option.

OK so now that I got way off the topic back to hobbies. My time is spread so thing between working and mommying (new word I know I'm cool) and then being a kick ass wife well I have nothing left to give.

Then today a deal came through my living social. For to photography classes. I have always looked at photos and wanted to do that so I called my Dad who also loves it and asked him to join me. Well after looking over the schedule we both bought the voucher for 2 classes. To say I'm excited is an understatement. See picking up photography as a hobby is something I can do and involve my baby and my husband and my dog. So it's a win win. I get to have something that is all mine and still be with my family.

For what it's worth I know I rambled in this post but that's how my brain works. So if you followed all the way clappy hands for you! and if you just skipped to this sentence I get it.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
