Worst Blogger Award Goes To....

ME!  I hope to get back into the swing of things this summer. Fingers crossed xx

I can't believe in two days I will have a 10 year old! Really? Where did time go? The festivities began on Friday when we got the word that R made it to AAA baseball. We are talking REAL baseball...two umpires, pitch count, no coaches on the field, stealing bases, the whole nine yards. He did OK at the try outs, but we were prepared for him to play AA. I am so proud and excited for him! I'm looking forward to baseball season again.

The celebration continued on Saturday, after the first baseball practice, with R's first sleepover party. It was a lot of fun and we now have 3 tuckered out kiddos (plus 2 tired parents!)  The fun will continue until Tuesday, his official birthday. The best part of my boys' birthdays? Reminiscing about their birth stories as they cuddle with me. I think they love to hear it just as much as I love to tell it!

On Top of Spaghetti....

Yes, they are cupcakes. We went to L's Spaghetti Dinner and Basket Raffle to benefit his beyond wonderful pre-school. We even won a basket while I was changing L's pull-up in the bathroom. Of course! It was full of counting games, books and activities. The boys were VERY excited. I love how even simple things can excite them :)

Ummm, yeah...

Really? I really haven't posted in 3 weeks? Really?

I don't have a good excuse. Life. That's a good excuse. Right?

Let's see, we have packed the holidays away and have been dealing with extremely cold weather.  There have been several snow storms that have only amounted to 2 hour delays and a headache.

I joined Weight Watchers and am LOVING the new plan. I love my free fruit!! I was down 3.8 the first week. Yay me!!! I have a long way to go, but I will get there.

I have an awesome incentive to lose weight. I have tickets to go see NKOTB and BSB in concert on July 29th in Atlantic City. The ones I was watching during my last post on NYE :) I am going with my cousin and a friend (and friend's friend).  We may have some other girls join us to hang out (no concert) while in AC. Let me just say, 6 months seems to be a lifetime away!

My plan is to NOT wait 3 weeks before I post again, but you know, life......

Happy New Year

May this year bring you health, happiness and a year of dreams coming true!

Thoughts On Blogging

I discovered the world of blogging about a year ago. I was amazed at the way people could put their lives, ideas and creations out there! I was impressed, sometimes intimidated , but mostly I was inspired by the blogs I read. I wanted be a blogger and part of that world. But what was my niche???

Decorating/Thrifting blogs...LOVE looking at them and get some great ideas, but I've yet to go to my local Goodwill to do some searching. Maybe I should try some yard sales in the Spring??

Cooking blogs.... great recipes, but I have the world's pickiest eaters. I'd  love to cook a nice meal and have everyone sit down and enjoy it together. The reality is, someone is complaining or we are in negotiations over food. It's wrong...I know.

Mom blogs...this is where I aspire to shine. I'm a good Mom, but there is always room for improvement! I follow several blogs that inspire me to go a step further than what I'm doing. Their lives seem perfect to me (and I know that is probably far from the truth) and it's what I want for my home.

Money saving/House organization blogs...  organized chaos. We have a lot of stuff, but 99% of the time, my husband can ask me for random object and I will know where it is. I try to use coupons (when I remember to bring them to the store!)

Crafting blogs... this could be something. I'm a pretty crafty person, but not enough to devote to an entire blog. 

Dieting blog...well, I could document my Weight Watchers journey that's set to start in January, but that may not be that fun (for me or anybody that may miraculously read this, lol)!

Since committing to just one topic does not seem to be an option right now, my blog will just have to be hodge podge of  what's going on in my life. It's also my New Year's resolution. You see, all those things I listed above, are actually areas in my life I want to improve on. I'm hoping that by committing to a blog, I will document and see some positive changes...for me and my family! And, just maybe(????) inspire someone else the same way the world of blogs has inspired me!
