Time. What?! When??

Does anyone else run out of time to type up a good blog?? I promise I'll have one next week. It'll work. No really. It's happening. Maybe don't hold your breath. But it'll be good. I'm sure. Okay, yep. In the meantime, here's a picture of little Q driving the big tractor with daddy!

Passionately Organized People

My husband made fun of me last Saturday because I was downstairs by 6:30 AM, excited to go organize the basement along with capturing before pictures. Once it's completely finished, it'll make for some great before and after pictures, at least I hope so. There is currently a large pile for a garage sale, a… Continue reading Passionately Organized People

Lists, Bathtubs, and Faith

The realization that the laundry isn't clean and put away, dust is stacking up on furniture, and the house hasn't been picked up in a couple of days has sunk in. Everyone laughs and says that's what happens when you have a baby and all the extras that come with them. I haven't quite figured… Continue reading Lists, Bathtubs, and Faith

Little Q is 1!

He has blessed our family more than imagined and want to spend as much time as possible with him. My husband, D and I are grabbing all the snuggles we… Continue reading Little Q is 1!

Blessed

Laundry is done, however not put away, little Q is teething and is getting over a cold, the house needs to be vacuumed, and we looked up what needs to be accomplished to renew our passports but didn't start it. The house still isn't decluttered, the baby wet through his diaper so his sheets need to be washed again, never got around to planting my potted flowers in the ground for winter, and am unprepared for the holidays.

On the up side. We have heat for the winter, a solid roof over our heads, working vehicles, shoes on our feet, food to eat, and clean water to drink. Everyone is healthy (other than colds), we have beautiful fall weather, are both employed with good jobs, have some incredible family and friends, each other, and an adorable adopted little Q. I had a rare weekend to relax with my precious family and even took a snuggly nap with Q. We are sincerely thankful for everything and everyone in our lives. We are extremely blessed!

Live Life!

Approximately 151,600 people die each day around the world according to ecology.com. That's 6,316 each hour! I've been remembering family and friends who have passed away too early, for me anyway. Lung cancer in a lady who never smoked, a mother with multiple children getting brain cancer, a father's heart stopping, and numerous others. I don't… Continue reading Live Life!

Toddler Entertainment

We were recently sitting at a restaurant with little Q in his high chair just letting out screams. Big, happy screams mind you, but screams, nonetheless. He then smiles big before more screams escape. At least the table close to us didn't seem to mind or notice from what I could tell. They must have noticed he was… Continue reading Toddler Entertainment
