Like, Exercising daily, watching calorie intake, no soda, not saving big clothes as just incasers, decrapifying my home, living stress free, and soo many others... As a Mommy to 3 little ones 5 and under, I have ZERO time, I mean I have negative time. My kids are with me all the time, even when I should be alone, they are with me, HAHA! So this year I wanted to make myself set some time aside and try blogging at least 3 times a week.. We are 40 days into the new year and this is the second time Ive blogged. I know, I know, I should make time, and Ive tried believe me, I HAVE! Every time I log on to write, I don't feel compelled to write, Id rather read the happenings in your life!!! How do you all do it? Last year I tried writing while my kids slept, and became sleep deprived! This year I wont be doing that again! Ill be blogging as much as I can during the day, rather than at night. We all need our beauty sleep!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571959170847232450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6uC89-y_0mla94x4Qlx0yAM_Jbpq7e959GbcKYNvbKDo4axtTRr2Tg202tUCfINmjLOV9c_674EBT8Ye1isJ7vgwjsVddh3CleYrp1ZFTuf4Xg0K98-iisX1W4bP-iFGrsr9QrfM2Ob0/s320/Picture+093.jpg" /><br /><div align="center">Last year my 5 year old started Kindergarten in August.

Never had the opportunity to play, and when I did, I was no longer interested =0(! I will be encouraging (forcing, LOL) my kids to pursue an instrument. I can imagine, after a long day, sitting in front of a piano, unwinding, and playing a beautiful song. Thinking of this reminds me of the many years my Lil sis practiced and played piano.

We decided to eat Easter lunch at Romanos Macaroni Grill. I ordered the Chicken Scallopini! it was DELICIOUS!!!! I love that place! After we were all stuffed we decided to head out to the duck pond. Since we were all nicely dressed it was a perfect time to snap some pictures.

I've also started weight training! My handsome husband is my trainer and he is AWESOME! When we have those sorta tired lazy days hes always there to encourage me, and remind me of my weight loss goals.<br />Since hes the greatest husband in the world he purchased me an armband for my IPhone. Actually he purchased me two. I got to choose which one I liked best. They both were terrific. But I had to choose one. The one I chose was from Belkin. I love it!!! The material is soft neoprene, it has a volume control on the outside, also has a keyhole just in case you go to the gym or a walk without your purse. It also has reflective material on face, for night runs or walks. </p><p>Have you purchased any special items for the IPhone that are a must have??

I dont need 52 compartments or even a zipper. The joys of being a nursing mommy mean, no hauling around bottles of water, bottles, formula, bibs or any of that! That part is FANTASTIC! My main purse stuff, wallet, keys, cosmetic pouch, extra diapers,onesie, burp cloth, and boob pads! LOL<br /><br /><br />Designerish, Please nothing over $500!!!

So Hailey is up and eats again. Ive started strolling her around in the stroller around the house, so I can get a few things done. Its hard doing things one handed and sooo much easier without a baby on your hip! (Folded again, forgot to throw a load in) Then we sit and read a couple books, do puzzles and play Lego's.Fed lil Hailey and shes asleep again. Kaitlyn asks if its time for dinner, cause shes really hungry! LOL! So I prepare dinner, and as I'm cutting the chicken Hailey wakes up, perfect timing! So by the time dinner is done, brownies are done, kids are eating, I'm feeding Hailey again, playing and its finally my turn to eat. it is now 630 and I need them to be upstairs by 7 to get my new bedtime routine started. We made it! Kids are showered, teeth are brushed and its still 7:20pm. Nice! So we read several books, talk about what we'd like to do tomorrow and by 8 they are in bed!!! I check on them every 15 mins after that till they are asleep. I'm proud to say they were asleep by 815!!! I am thrilled, and don't know what to do with myself, so I came to you blogging friends! This is my new routine, I hope it works daily and we stick to it. Its hard but very beneficial especially since I think my lil ones need more sleep, since they don't nap...</div><div>Ill let you know if its still working after a week!

This was a blessing! We all know how much crib bedding costs,lots and lots of dollars (as my 2yr old would have said) , which is probably another reason why I hadn't purchased it. I immediately thanked God for such a talented woman he put on earth, who'd spent countless hours, and many blinks sewing together this creation, where I would be laying my little princess to sleep in for the next several years. What a beautiful surprise! I found <a href="http://www.muchtodowithnothing.com/">Kelly's Blog</a> a couple weeks ago, and had caught my eye since she re-upholsters and slip covers furniture. Ive got all kinds of that TO-DO furniture sitting and waiting for me in my garage, I was definantly inspired and I knew immediately her blog was going on my favorites list!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlHoXHDnPMhuqvgHrLNTdlfvXb5i4FX97EEwdh_qNHSvr0jd1hGi2_iynI4m7fzc5-I9wf5JkMMmdjf2gqd-oK8KnGHFiswNoqGXRi3Yihocadgj2if6aHWcNt_aFojqVK2vKJMnQunik/s1600-h/P3120079.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448048953953856114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlHoXHDnPMhuqvgHrLNTdlfvXb5i4FX97EEwdh_qNHSvr0jd1hGi2_iynI4m7fzc5-I9wf5JkMMmdjf2gqd-oK8KnGHFiswNoqGXRi3Yihocadgj2if6aHWcNt_aFojqVK2vKJMnQunik/s200/P3120079.JPG" /></a> <img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448043313425901138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHI3k-aAgn-XW2vY_EQSb6cgSvwdKB7N-U3M0pZMRevVesheUGYsvGAlJ1hgT44gDXDx094p12PpuYUCABmBdM97pFpCkuGl-YuisaZ4HzhTCJ4Ya6XxJS_kPg-0dixbKuu0N6lj6w89I/s200/P3120051.JPG" /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div>Well this morning when my ring bell (like my 4yr old says) rang, to my surprise it was my mail carrier with a package addressed to ME!!! My son assisted in the opening part and my daughter helped take it out of the package. It was the beautiful crib bedding I'd won! So without thinking I popped it open and propped Hailey on it to take some pics and get a reaction. She's a doll and didn't cry at all! Her little hands kept touching the chenille fabric back and forth! My only regret is I didn't change her to match the bedding or even run to grab her a hair bow! So sorry, but when its on the crib I promise to dress her up like a doll! I cut and filed her nails 3 days ago, and she still manages to scratch her face!</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtxxSdOKq-r0qDEElePd9RJgFupt-mQQcJmvizWcqWlbzNddlsq0rkXB88WvsGTo2pDRE2FoyK6FarEKnIiRFsglXjiaFc-lbEisupaAHGdhRvIfVWLunwl-A34CDtlQZu_qV-ZOwkcE/s1600-h/P3120066.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448043353221459618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtxxSdOKq-r0qDEElePd9RJgFupt-mQQcJmvizWcqWlbzNddlsq0rkXB88WvsGTo2pDRE2FoyK6FarEKnIiRFsglXjiaFc-lbEisupaAHGdhRvIfVWLunwl-A34CDtlQZu_qV-ZOwkcE/s200/P3120066.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPSrKWv3Oi8NU8iSxpRWGhhgYGL8CDoWIHfcI7_AWph79au0vSbKO1F9bZ_9mYGJi_Dg7f3Z8Ug-lWoeRyHzLjd85qYCpEShxpARBVaQWtHXQ57airFwIxA_gYPWFqr4r8rQtiUD6n_A/s1600-h/P3120068.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448045568633516930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPSrKWv3Oi8NU8iSxpRWGhhgYGL8CDoWIHfcI7_AWph79au0vSbKO1F9bZ_9mYGJi_Dg7f3Z8Ug-lWoeRyHzLjd85qYCpEShxpARBVaQWtHXQ57airFwIxA_gYPWFqr4r8rQtiUD6n_A/s200/P3120068.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4oe4DaviIxLUu7kGeNOt9QchRM4ny74NX_9LNPPTR1mBnDpNX1hNsTgpxOBXqTx2_dhTCXH_p0oOG7A6lPD9loH8wdUqfiJBq-dTicU67AeN9PGYuEYGAsL2EOAe6x4nDx2bH8EmI1s/s1600-h/P3120069.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448045578596372194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD4oe4DaviIxLUu7kGeNOt9QchRM4ny74NX_9LNPPTR1mBnDpNX1hNsTgpxOBXqTx2_dhTCXH_p0oOG7A6lPD9loH8wdUqfiJBq-dTicU67AeN9PGYuEYGAsL2EOAe6x4nDx2bH8EmI1s/s200/P3120069.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://www.muchtodowithnothing.com/2010/02/tired-of-sewingstart-creating.html">Kelly</a> has several different fabric choices, in a variety of textures.

I'm on the hunt for some new furniture and haven't quite yet found what Ive been looking for. The thing is, I'm not too sure <em>what </em>I'm looking for anymore. Lately I haven't been able to make a decision, I haven't been able to pinpoint an exact style I want. It's like this, I have so many "ideas" of what I'm looking for in a finished project swirling around in my head, I'm almost confused or car sick. And we all know being car sick isn't pretty. I think its time for me to take a step back and take a breather. This picture is gorgeous, in a perfect world this is what my Living room would look like!
