I've been thinking about it all weekend and have decided that I am definitely going to start selling my knitting online. This morning I signed up for a general membership to Etsy and once I start getting more things knitted and put together, then I'll

Andy and I have decided to put off ttc baby #2 until winter. Or at least until sometime after October. I told him that I want to make sure most of our debt is paid off before we start thinking about adding to our family. We were the first couple in our

Since I quit working, I've been feeling more than a little anxious about our money making. Andy's been working some serious overtime because they're way behind on some of their projects. Which is nice because we can pay off my last two credit cards and

Summer is not the time to be sweating over how good you look. There's suntanning outside to be done and summer activities to find your way to. Really, what is the point of getting dressed up when all you want to do is lay in your backyard with a bikini

Every so often I find myself in a panic over how I am doing as a parent and more specifically, a mother. It's even harder when Jax's cousins are a month older/younger than him and are doing/not doing things that he is. Because then the comparisons start

On Friday afternoon I watched "Juno". It was phenomenal. And startling reminded me a little too much of what it was like for me to be 15. My family can be a bit fanatical when it comes to religion. Not as bad as some people I've known, but they're pretty

That's the one drawback of being a SAHM. When you wake up and feel like sh*t, you have to suck it up and be a mom anyway. Last night I had killer cramps and every part of me hurt. Even with a heat pad on my back it hurt like hell. Then, despite having

I don't know why, but for the past few days I keep finding myself thinking about my mom's family and why I'm still really hurt. Let me set the scene quick like. There are 6 kids on my mom's side. My mom is the second oldest and she and my dad have been

Jax turns 2 next month and I've been thinking of what to plan for him. Last year Andy laughed at me because I got myself all stressed out about his first birthday. Some people make such a big deal out of their kid's birthday's and go all out when most

Today was Jax's first swim class. Everything went very well and he took to it after a couple minutes of uncertainty. There's only two kids in the class, Jax and a little boy is a year older. Their teachers were very impressed because there was no crying

My period will be a week late tomorrow. Which if I were a normal person, would possibly mean I'm pregnant. But I'm not normal and my cycles are nowhere near normal. So it's difficult for me to gauge if it's a fluke with the system or not. Either way I

Since the beginning Jax has always thrown mini tantrums. Nothing super serious or all that teeth clenching. Then today we went to McDonald's and brought it home. I gave Jax the small bottle of milk to bring inside and then I poured it into his sippy cup.

I really really really want to mow down and destroy the plot of rhubarb we have in our backyard. Why? Because every year I pull a buttload out of the garden and don't do a darn thing with it. My MIL loves getting fresh rhubarb from us, but she lives an

The one thing that alludes me about making eggs is how to get it perfectly over easy. Every single time I make over easy eggs, something goes wrong and I end up with half over-easy, half-scrambled. And I hate scrambled eggs. Yuck. When I worked at a certain
