My photo
Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Lessons learned after buying a home

Don't ever let your children, who are in the same school class as the previous owner's children, hear you say that the wall color looks like "dirty peed on underwear".

Don't list the previous owner's water fountain on craigslist without knowing that she is a craigslist junkie and that she already heard how much you hate the wall color of the house.

Only talk about how extremely happy you are to finally be in a nice comfortable home in which you are very grateful for ( even if you have to paint the whole thing)

Don't take it personally when you find out she HATES you- even though you really think you've been nothing but kind.

Oh, and make sure your kids don't bury the old owner's turtle they found in the backyard under the pea gravel to see if it can crawl out, and then let them ride their bikes by the old owner and let them tell her that they buried her old turtle Aaaalive!!!

    That is so funny! I wouldn't worry about her. If she didn't want her house changed she shouldn't have sold it!

    You have got to be kidding? I would have died! Aren't children helpful? You need to use this post as a chapter in a book.
