Stay home mommy (AKA Tired housewife)

Welcome to my blog! I am a stay at home mother to two active and often loud little girls and one precious little boy! They are truely amazing little people that have already mastered the art of pushing each others buttons and arguing. In between the chaos is two little girls that love to play together, do projects with one another, and dance around the room. Our son loves to follow his big sisters around and try to do everything they do! It is so precious to see the three of them together! Although I have often admitted that it is easier to work outside the home I would not trade my job for anything! It is the most rewarding and challenging job! However, at the end of the day their kisses and hugs cure all the stress and frustrations I may have felt at various times throughout the day. :)



I have an amazingly supportive husband! Our girls have him wrapped around their little fingers! I was so excited that our third was a little boy so I could have a mommies boy. :) My husband and I have been together for 8 fun, crazy and eventful years and are looking forward to many, many more.



Happy reading!

Lack of Energy Late = Motivation Early!



So, I have decided that my days events should happen in the opposite order. I have so much energy when I get up, yet all i need to prepare for the children is a bowl of cereal or oatmeal. On the flip-side, I am exhausted by dinner time and yet I need to make an entire meal. Does anyone else see something wrong with this?


There is really only one way to fix this problem...by making dinner in the crockpot. Does that make me old? I hope not! My mom actually got me hooked on it again as she has been using her crockpots (religiously) for a while now. It means that I can get up, make an easy breakfast, and then proceed to figure out what to make for dinner and get that going before 10am. Sounds perfect, right? Well, not quite.


While the crockpot is working ever so diligently to prepare a meal for my family, I can smell it--which makes me hungry! This is not a bad thing, but I will need to make sure that my choice of "snacks" stop being chips with hummus! So, tonight we enjoyed broccoli and cheese chicken over rice, with a side of broccoli. Gotta love it! Dinner was made, the house was clean, the children.....were alive, and well--what more can you ask for?

    You are so awesome! Casseroles in the morning are a good way to go too.
