Today felt like a productive day! Today I tackled the “mess room” and got through quite a bit. There’s quite a bit more to do, but progress has been made! Today I did not wig out on my kids! Today I thought I would cook a roast and realized last minute that it was not …

The Critters
We’ve been closing all the gates to the fenced in part of the yard in an effort to have a “poop free” zone. 😉 The chickens are not very discriminating about where they ‘lay poop’ as Myles puts it. However, a 5 foot fence will NOT keep out an intrepid chicken who knows that there …
So close…. and yet
Ya know that magic moment I mentioned where things just finally fall into place and *poof* family is functioning at a new “normal” and it’s comfortable. There’s a predictable routine, the kids know what they are going to be doing, mommy knows when things are going to happen, babies are sleeping, eating and waking when …
Lucky
Well, we have a new puppy at our house. He showed up a couple of days ago. For some reason people like to drive back on our “private property” “dead end” dirt road and dump off unwanted animals. Very sad. 🙁 We’ve had puppies on several occasions, a pregnant cat, and several tomcats. We tried …
Free Range
It’s always been the goal to free range our chickens. We have plenty of space for them to explore and forage, and apparently that’s the best thing to do to get lotsa good healthy stuff in the eggs! I wanted to get them used to this concept earlier, but life got in the way a …
Fitness Goals
One of our “homework” projects for the fitness challenge is to write down some specific goals that we want to achieve with the challenge. I have some that are specific and measurable, and some that are a little less measurable, but still important, I think. I figured I’d write them down here so I’d have …
Twin Shoot
So, I attempted several times to have a “shoot” with Claire and Gabby. It was a challenge to say the least. I always tell my clients that it’s best to have babies portraits done in the first 2 weeks. Of course, that’s not an option for preemies, so you make the best of what you …
Crazy Daze
I’m living in a cloud of sleep deprived, mommy brain haze. 😉 Most days I don’t know what day of the week it is let alone the date! Ha! But it’s okay. I know this is just a season, and we’ll eventually make the transition back to a functional family unit instead of one that’s …
The Ugly
The Good: We are all home together and healthy!! The Bad: We aren’t sleeping enough and everything smells like sour milk. 😉 The Ugly: Medical Bills. 🙁 We have health insurance through Stuart’s work. It’s been pretty good for us thus far. I have only the very basic understanding of insurance. We pay them when …
Insane
You might remember that some time ago (was it last year or the year before??) I did a fitness challenge with a group on FB. Well the gall that was the coach that time around has stuck with it and become a gem in the Beachbody coaching world! She’s totally dedicated to helping people live …
