Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  Sorry, I seem to be running a little late on that.  We brought in the new year at a friend's house.  Ben didn't make it until midnight, which really surprised me since he's sort of a night owl and had a nap in the evening.  He only missed it by about 20 minutes.

This year, I've decided my resolution is to organize myself and my home, and declutter my life.  It's insane how much junk I have collected.  I've started keeping 2 planners.  One is for work and one is for home.  I need to keep those two parts of my life separate to keep the stress down in my life anyway.  I'm also making a calendar for our crafts and lessons for the week, as well as planning menus for the week for our family dinners.  I think this should hopefully keep things less stressful once the baby gets here also. 

We scheduled the C-section for March 9th.  I'm so excited.  That means 9 weeks and 1 day from today, our new baby will be here.  I'm also stressing because I'm not even close to ready for the baby to be here.  I need to get my rear in gear.  The date works out well for me because I have a little bit of OCD.  It's nothing crazy or extreme, but if possible I love to do things in multiples of 3.  The baby being born on 3/9 will fit in my OCD and I often find my lucky numbers being 3 and 9.

Friday night, Shawn and I went on our very first date since Ben has been born.  Yup, that's over 2 years.  It was really nice.  We went to the movies and saw "It's Complicated."  That is such a funny and cute movie.  I can honestly say I've never laughed that loudly in a movie theater before.  The theater was only about half full but it sounded like it was completely full at the funny parts so I wasn't the only one laughing loudly.

Ben and I have had very upset stomachs lately.  At first I thought it was some kind of reaction I was having to the iron I've just been put on, but now that it's bothering Ben and today Shawn, I'm not so sure.

I've decided that it's time to start the alphabet with Ben.  We'll be doing a letter a week.  Some people do each letter in no specific order, but I think we're going to do them in order from A to Z.  I must tell you all that I'm not that creative so I'm using a lot of ideas from another blog from an amazing mom.  No Time For Flash Cards.  You should look forward to all the fun stuff we will be doing, starting with the letter A this week.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
