my new BFF {3}

okay I know, I didn't blog yesterday--- super busy day--- But wanted to introduce you to my new BFF's...

In serious need of some INSPIRATION {2}

so my second day of blogging is proving to be tough, although being a stay at home mom is nice, the day in and day out routine doesn't vary too much and leaves me lacking some serious inspiration!

Tomorrow, is a different kind of day though. Since being un-employed, I've been trying to figure out what my "legacy" is going to be. I've tried for the last year to do things that I thought I'd enjoy doing only to find out that they weren't my cup of tea. Other than being crafty working on my bows I found my self soul searching for something more... something more fulfilling. I've thought and thought for a long time and after talking to some of my closest friends and Dustin, I've decided to follow a long time dream of mine and go talk to a counselor about Cosmetology School. In my wildest of dreams, I'd love to go to AVEDA but unless God places our family in Raleigh or Charlotte, I don't see that happening. I am excited to see what the local cosmetology school has to offer, and gain some insight about classes and things.

Please pray for us this week as we are working on making some drastic changes in our family. Nothing bad, just new, different, exciting changes.

A year has passed {1}

As I begin this 35 day journey, I've got to actually use my brain and think of things that I'd like to blog about--- so since I have no plan for the next 35 days of blogging, I got some inspiration from my picture files. Here are some fun pics, from LAST MAY & THIS MAY of each girl...

Pressley has really blossomed in the last year-
She is or loves to:
-Potty Trained!
-Talking up a storm
-Counting to 16
-Sleeping in her Big Girl bed (no bed rail or anything)
-Read
-Drive her Big Wheel
-Do most everything BY HERSELF.
-helping with Laundry.
-putting her toys away.
-working on her ABC's
-knows shapes & colors.
-knows her "night time" and "dinner time" prayers.
















Braelyn has really blossomed as well:
Here are some neat things about her...
-She sleeps with her full body covered with every blanket possible... from head to toe.
-She loves her "lambie" - Prissy has named it "white"
-She loves to read or be read to
-She is a big time dancer...seriously- this girl has got the moves.
-She loves to sing too, maybe we've got the next Demi Cyrus on or hands... wait, is that the correct name... or is it like Selena Lavato??? or Miley Gomez... :) just kidding...
-She can say "Mama" "Dada" "Bebe" "Coupieee" "Mock" (milk) "No" "Go" "Guck" (stuck) "clenk ouuu" (thank you) "Book" "Night Night" "bye bye" "Hiiiiiii" and probably more, just can't think of any more.

So, I hope you've enjoyed the look back in the past year.

See ya tomorrow!

Seems the popular thing to do...

so, I suppose I'm gonna do the "hit" thing and promise to blog for a certain number of days... I am not good at blogging since being at home because, our signal is mostly always bad (less than 2 bars). But- I would like to document more of the girls life and this is just a perfect way to do it so that all can read! :)Right?!???

For the next 35 days I'll blog EVERYDAY. yes I know, a whole month isn't really that big of a feat, but for me, it is....


So here goes nothing.

Homeschool

One of Pressleys favorite time of the day- is “school time”

When I became a SAHM, my intent was to focus on getting Pressley ready for Preschool, since she wouldn’t be in daycare, I wanted her to still know things she should know at her age.  This has been an “on and off” thing for us though, I’m not very good with staying on track. :)

 

I’m setting a goal to start up again with her, this morning, I found this curriculum online and I thought I’d share it with a few of you out there who have kiddies, and like me, are at home with them!

Jeeps and dogs…

Pressley was playing outside on Friday and I walked out on the porch to check on her and this is what I found.

 

Easter Sunday

These pics are for my mom and dad, and I hope everyone else enjoys them too!
