I have started to write three different posts. I'm in such an awful mood that nothing is coming across right. I really just want to "go off" but don't want to anger or offend anyone. I'm just so frustrated with many things right now. I think part of the problem is we have stayed away from home the past four weekends. I'm just so burned out my coping skills are gone. At first I was sad that I couldn't go with Matt to his competitions this weekend but now I'm excited. I'm looking forward to a … [Read more...]
Caring for Cloth Diapers
I've already told you about the cost savings of using cloth diapers. I'm not saving as much right now as we are gone every weekend and I use disposables then. But I still use them when home.One thing people are always asking when they find out we use cloth diapers is "isn't it a pain to take care of them?"My answer is no. Because I use prefolds and a cover, there isn't much by way of special care. All-in-ones, pocket diapers, etc. have more intensive care instructions. You can't use … [Read more...]
Evolution of a Bathroom Closet
I have an obsession with organization. I'm slowly getting my house organized to my liking. Very slowly. That's what happens when A) you're too broke to go buy all the cool containers you want all at once and B) an organized minimalist marries a messy pack rat.One area that I keep trying to figure out is my linen closet. In our last place, we had a hall closet and a bathroom closet. Here, we only have the bathroom one. So everything has to be in one place.Here is what I started with when we moved … [Read more...]
One Year Ago
One year ago today was a big day. A day that changed our lives forever. A day of great excitement, joy, and nerves. What I thought would be a typical Monday turned out very differently. One year ago today I saw this: That one little word turned into this: … [Read more...]
Busy, Busy Season
Wow. That was a busy weekend. Friday we drove 3 hours to set up a lumberjack show then stayed at my parents' house that night. Saturday was the competition. Great show but tiring. We kept it so fast paced I had to tell my husband to take his time setting up an event so that I had time to run to the bathroom! I even had to have my mom give the baby a bottle as I couldn't nurse and do the scoring at the same time. Not enough time. Then we drove back home that night. Yesterday Matt's … [Read more...]
Weather Change = Attitude Adjustment
This morning I woke up to something I hadn't experienced in about a week if not a little longer.It was only 57 degrees at 7:30 this morning. Yay! That is almost a full 20 degrees less than it has been recently.Last night was so quiet. I didn't have to run the air conditioners just to keep the humidity level down. I could actually hear over the baby monitor without having to turn it all the way up.Today is dry and only in the 70s. Feels wonderful, especially with the breeze. After a rather rough … [Read more...]
