Where I have been

I'm not trying to ignore this corner of the Internet really. I just have been struggling? with being here I guess.


I don't know how much I want out here on the Internet. The struggles we are going through? No one wants to hear about that kind of stuff. My Mom has cancer, My Uncle has cancer and I'm holding my shit together by the skin of my teeth.


I'm trying to organize my house because that is what I do when my head is a mess. I'm trying to soak up every second I have with my little family because they are what makes my head less messy. They make my heart so full and happy and my focus needs to be there.



I'm trying to plan a bridal shower with 5 other bridesmaids. 2 of which do not want to have any input but then bitch when decisions are made. Thankfully I have 3 other ones who are more than helpful. I'm crafting and planning and ordering like it's my JOB.


We are in the process of finishing up our yard list so that we can have a relaxing rest of the summer but it feels like with a tornado of a 15 month old there is no such thing as relaxing.


I'm working away trying find a better balance of work and home life. I have a pretty great job. Flexible and only 8 hours a day. But some days when my boys are home and having the best time I'm stuck in my office all day and that can be hard.


This is my last full week of work for a few weeks and that makes my heart so happy. I have Friday off because of the Fourth and then I took Monday off so that we can have a family day at the zoo. I crave more family time and I'm happy to have it.


Speaking of family time I find myself fighting myself with how to spend my very limited time when I'm home. If my house is not picked up and somewhat clean I get grumpy. But then if I'm not getting enough time with my boys I'm grumpy then too. It's a vicious cycle and I'm still trying to figure it out.


Basically I'm trying to get back here where I can just write about all of our fun things. I still want to talk about Father's day and our fun weekends we have been having. That is my new goal. To get back to talking about all of our fun things we have been up to.


Happy Tuesday everyone!

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
