Cleaning is no joke…lol!

Cleaning is no joke when you have little ones… Right!?  Well as I see it, cleaning is hilarious when you have little ones running around.  You pick one item up and another pops up on the floor.  It is literally my never ending story along with the laundry duty that goes on in this house.  Yeah got to say laundry isn’t my favorite chore either.  The joys of parenthood, I will say this though cleaning with the kids is awesome.  Watching them put away the toys and bicker where the right place to put the them away is hilarious.  Some of the craziest conversations come along during clean-up time.  Then there are the days when clean up is not an option, yep…those days occur too.  To be fair I think adults have a similar mindset, we tend to have those days that we won’t nothing to do with adulting.  Cleaning up can be a pain…along with laundry :).  I just find it so funny that as adults we still have that child-like attitude towards cleaning and grown-up responsibilities.  Our kids are literally our little mini mes…mine sure are.  I just love connecting with them and spending quality time with them even in the most serious moments of our busy lives.

Cherishing the Moment

The last few days have been super busy and slightly unproductive but I have made lots of great memories that I will always cherish.  This past week has been full of the ups and downs and we are in the middle of trying to buy a house so that doesn’t help with the crazy but making memories with my little ones have been so rewarding over the last week.  Like the other day, as crazy as it got there were some hilarious moments that had me rolling on the floor.  For instance when I knocked over the corn mill on one of my cats in the kitchen while trying to make snacks for the kids and put up groceries, along while the kids are running throughout the house with the video game blaring in the background.  Yes those are the funny yet crazy moments that I love.  No matter how crazy your day can get there is always a way to turn around that moment into a cherished one.  Cherish the moment, scrap book it, take pictures, embrace it and enjoy it!  I don’t want to regret I want to remember all the fun, the good, the excitement I have and will have with my kids.  🙂

Saturday July 2nd

Today has been an interesting day considering that my older kids are hanging out with daddy today!  He thought it would be a great day to spend quality time with the older two.  I have managed to get the house in somewhat decent shape and have had a lot of downtime today which has been a nice change to my speedy Gonzales pace.

I decided today to give myself a Jamicure, watch the movie HOME for the hundredth time :), and spend one on one quality time with the little ones.  It has been such an amazing day so far and a very memorable one at that.  I hope all of you are having a wonderful Holiday Weekend as well.

Productivity at It’s Finest

This week has been a very productive one, the only thing I found unproductive was the doctor’s visit yesterday.  They didn’t seem to be as helpful and only left me with more problems to worry about.  I will say Vacation Bible School was a success though.

Today I have been kind of going with the flow and you know it really is funny how much more relaxed I am than when I am worrying about every little detail of my typical day.  I guess the lesson I learned from this is don’t sweat the stuff you can’t control just go at your own pace.  🙂  Can’t believe it is already July 1st!!! Yikes, time is just a flying this year!  Soon school will be starting and then Christmas!

I am brainstorming as well on another book I am wanting to write.  I really enjoy dystopian fiction novels and science fiction.  🙂  Well I hope you all have had a great day and enjoy your family during this wonderful Holiday weekend! shutter3

My StoryBook


Sometimes I wonder if I am literally in the twilight zone :).  Laundry everywhere, toys scattered like death traps…Yikes! and  video games a blaring  while the cats are chasing each other from one end to the house to the other.  Yep, that is a typical day for me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Being a mom is so enjoyable and has so much meaning.  Through the crazy and dramatic moments there are always unforgettable memories being created.  Life is like a story book with lots of amazing pictures.  The memories are the pictures and as you gain them you are building on your story.  So what is your story… What is your adventure?

We all have a story to tell no matter how interesting, strange, out of this world it may sound.  Everyone is different and has a purpose to fulfill.  No one can write your story except yourself.  Mine is to serve the Lord ALL the days of my life, standing by my beloved husband through it all, to be the best Mom I can possibly be to my Children, and live my life to the fullest!  🙂

Pinterest Addiction Alert

Yep…. That’s right!  Pinterest has become the latest fad in my little bubble!

When you have kiddos finding crafts can be a chore at times.  Not with Pinterest ❤️.  Nope!  All you have to do is browse and you will find something that will interest you! 😉

Trust me, Pinterest has everything you can think of.  I even promote my Avon and Jamberry businesses on there.  

It is a great place to also throw out your ideas to others as well.  Yep Pinterest has become this mommy’s new best friend!!!

God is so Great!


Patience is a hard trait to follow through on, especially when you are eager!  Recently I have been struggling with the ability to be patient.  As my health declines and the grief from my beloved grandfather takes a toll on me my ability to be patient has been tested.  

I am trying to rebuild myself one piece at a time.  Sometimes that’s all you can do!  As God tries us we tend to shut down and sulk.  But God is in control no matter what circumstance you may be facing!  Thank goodness!! God is my rock and foundation and without him I would fall to pieces!!!  God is so Great!!!!! 😊

Delayed Scoop! :)

I know it has been a while since I have written and I apologize about that.  There has been a whole lot of crazy going on and I decided to take a step back and take a breather.  Sometimes we need to take a step back and just breathe.

This week VBS started and it has been an AMAZING week :)!  I am really nervous though, this week we are hoping to find out if we will get a house that we are trying to buy.  That has a lot to do with my stress level recently.

I have been focusing on my Jamberry and Avon businesses.  It has been a great way for me to be productive in my free time and meet new people.  Also I have been working on my Dystopian Novel as well, hopefully I will have it finished by early August.   So I have been trying to keep myself busy throughout the chaos of summer.

Summer comes with its ups and its downs lol.  There is never a dull moment at my house that is for sure.  My four kids love to keep my world entertained and it is great.  Recently my daughter has discovered her creative side and has been drawing a lot more.  It is so sweet to watch them develop new skills and find themselves.  They are truly my world!

 

Happy Birthday to my other halves!

Dear Michael and Stephen Warren,

I miss you both dearly and hope you two have an amazing birthday tomorrow.  I am sorry I will not be there to partake in all the fun you two will be having.  Being a triplet is an experience, a joy, a unique bond that can never be broken no matter how far a part we are from each other.  I love you both and want you to know that I will always be here if you ever need me.  Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY you two.

me and my brothers
