A Week Ago

Seriously?!? A week ago it was the Fourth of July.

This year we opted not to host, and it was a lot of fun. I got to spend more time with the kids (and my hubby too) and not as much time in the kitchen.

We had plenty of fireworks, and lots of yummy food.

We might just have to make this a tradition… and now I’m in trouble.

 

Skipping It

Well this year I decided not to host the Fourth of July. I made the kiddos mad, and my family worried, but I’m exhausted, and just don’t feel up to it. I think it will be nice though, taking it easy, cooking slowly, and enjoying time with the kids instead of hostessing duties.

We are heading out today to get some fireworks with the kids. Last night the fireworks already began in our neighborhood. Miss Mia was a mess, but the kids can’t wait.

Happy Friday everybody!

 

End Of The Month

I can’t believe that it is the last day of June. This month has really gotten away from me. It hasn’t been socially busy, but the housework and kids have kept me extra busy.

The kids slept in a bit this morning. I enjoyed the few extra quiet moments while I had them. I’ll be sticking around the house, and trying to get the dishes and laundry caught back up.

 

O.K. House It’s Me vs. You

So this Summer, the house has gotten away from me… I really hate that when it happens. The laundry is piled up, the dishes are piled up, there are little piles of clutter all over every single surface downstairs, and I’m not even going to start with the state of the kids rooms. Time to do something about it!
