Checking In

Hello friends. It's been a few days and I thought I would take a few minutes and jump on here to say hello and kinda do a check-in. Days have passed so fast that I just feel like I am never going to get caught up. I guess one day at a time right!? Here's some random jumbled thoughts that will hopefully give you all the updates and happenings. 

- More computer issues. I guess when I switched from Windows 10 back to 8.1 my drivers didn't switch back which caused all sorts of problems. I think we are finally up and working again. I'm serious...switching back and forth is just a big pain in the ass. 

- The cold weather has finally arrived. We haven't got much it has totally arrived on the east coast. I think we are in for more snow tomorrow. I have to admit, I might not like the cold weather that much but the snow sure was pretty. I really hate it for the people who have to get up early and get out in it. Nothing sucks more than a super cold winter morning when you have to get up out of a warm bed. It was also one of the first times that Zane has actually saw, touched and enjoyed snow. For him, the snow was a good day and he just wanted more! While I have been writing this post, the school just called and said no school tomorrow. The kids are totally going to love it! Maybe it will be a day outside playing with the dog and the kids and some hot chocolate later. Sounds fun to me! However, there are only 9 more Saturdays until spring. Maybe there is hope. I just need more sunlight.

- I think my patience with the male species has totally run out. Stories like this one or this one, makes me so sad but even more it just proves to me that men have totally lost it. My hope is gone. It's so sad to me what those women had to go through but I think they will be stronger in the end from their horrific experiences. I am so glad I wasn't born a man. Thank you God. 

- I have been editing a video and I am trying to get it up sometime tonight or tomorrow. I know it's been a few days. Thanks windows 10.

- I cut my hand today doing dishes. It's burning like crazy too.

- Scott has been home all day. Thank goodness for good music and ear phones. I won't even go there. But it's been Phil Collins, Taylor Swift and Pink. Thinking about some Kenny G for the evening hours. 

- I use to really think I hated Sara Palin. I mean seriously this is one crazy bitch. But really how could I hate someone who has gave me so much enjoyment. And she's back at it. Blaming Obama on her son's PTSD all while the dumb ass is all for sending more troops over seas. All while her own son was arrested on Domestic Violence. Why do I take politics so personal?? I have no idea but I am sure her and the Donald will fit perfectly together. Speaking of the Donald, omg.  I just couldn't tune in for the last debate. I have to much going on to actually sit down and listen to his bullshit. The highlights were more than enough. Like I have said many times....You vote counts. If you really want that idiot in the White House then all the power to you. I think it would be one of the most awful things to happen to our country. This man has no patience, tolerance, or understanding of our Government. Our dog Cooper would totally be a better President. And YES he is a Democrat. :)

- What do you guys think of the new blog design!? I wanted something less busy. I found the template right here on etsy. I really like it. Hopefully I will loose my need to change things around. It's simple and clean and hopefully easy for you guys to find what you are searching for. 

- I have all kinds of camera issues going on as well. I plan on buying another tonight or tomorrow. Then I need to get one sent into Sony for repair. Yada...yada...yada. Too many technical issues. Maybe that's a sign. However, I have a ton of reviews and such that I have to get uploaded soon. Like really soon.

- I'm not sure what we are having tonight for dinner but I am thinking pasta. Spaghetti is a family  favorite and sounds really good. Maybe with a salad. Yep. I think I just figured out what to make for dinner. I do have a menu plan but a lot of times we switch it up to suit our moods.

- My hands are so cold. It might be time to break out the gloves even if I am indoors. It's hard for me to actually stay warm. Maybe a warm cup of hot tea would help.

- The plants around the house are not looking so good. I think the colder temperatures are effecting them too. :( We need to probably warm up the house a little more.

- I something in the mail today that I have been waiting on. I love it so much. Don't worry, I will share what it is in good time. :)

- I planned on going to the store tomorrow but I doubt its going to happen with the snow. We might just have to wait until the weekend. Better safe than sorry. And I hope you all are being safe as well. If you can stay in...do so. And don't forget about the animals. Bring them inside!


Anyway, I have a bunch of things I need to do from tossing laundry to make something for dinner tonight. I hope you guys are all doing well. I should have a video up later tonight. xx

Hello friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day. It's pouring down rain here and kinda cold. The kids are doing their own things and the house is super quiet. I thought today I would just jump right in front of the camera and talk with you guys a little bit. I had some holiday questions that I never got around to answering which I included in the video. Plus I talk to you about some youtube happenings and the Love the Home You Have Challenge for January. If you want to hear me ramble on for a bit, here's the video! :)

Checkin' in! :)

Happy Saturday friends! I hope you are having a great weekend. I  have been at the desk today working working working. . I still have a lot of boxes to check off.  I don't really have any plans outside the house today. I have been at the desk since I crawled out of bed. I swear, I could be glued to this laptop for a week and probably never get everything done that I need to do. But I am doing my best to simply, declutter, and organize even on the computer. I think if I could get the emails under control, that would be good enough. I made some additional folders to sort the mail for me and hopefully it will help me stay on top of things better. We'll see.

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I got a lot done along with running a bunch of errands. It's so easy for me to get distracted. A lot of times I will start one thing, see something else that needs done and it goes on and on. However, yesterday I stuck with just one task at a time. I almost strayed a few times but I remember the importance of not getting distracted and didn't allow myself to wonder off on random things. It helped a lot too. I had a ton of mail to deal with...which can be overwhelming but I sorted it all out and went through it one envelope at a time. I still have a lot of replies to do but at least its not in a larges stack on my desk. My new home keeping book has been working wonders on keeping the clutter down. I can't wait to show it to you guys but I wanted to use it for a month or so to make sure it really is working for our family. Stay tuned!

I really need to be getting up to do other stuff too.  I have a ton of things on my to do list.↓ But my motivation is lost and I can't find it. I had the thought to get my hair cut but that sure isn't happen this evening so maybe tomorrow or Monday. I still want to try to get a lot done tonight. My husband always says I am the most busy person who does not work outside the home that he knows. Ha! I am not feeling that way today but it's still kinda early for me. Scott won't be home for a while so its all good! Plus I stay up late anyway. Here's basically a copy of this weekends to do list that is in our home keeping book. I'm serious... I really can't wait to share it with you! :)

Do you have any interesting plans for this weekend? I find this time of year so confining. I wish we could open up the windows, grill out and enjoy some sunshine. But right now its cozy nights in and lots of tv, board games, and housework. Also I have a new vlog saving right now. I will be going live tonight sometime so be sure to check back. If you are new here, I would love it if you subscribed so you don't miss any new videos!

I will be back later tonight with a new vlog. xx

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great evening. I am back ( late I know ) with the winners to the Erin Condren Giveaway! Rafflecopter picked the winners which wen live on the blog post around 1am this morning. Thank you to everyone that entered. I wish I could just give you ALL life planners but this time only two of you guys could win. But don't get upset.. you can still get $10 off your order by clicking here and placing your order. I highly suggest if you have a busy life, save up if need be and order yourself one of these life planners. It really does well to organize every aspect of my life and both... my blog and youtube channels. So if you use it just for your life....it should work just as well if not better. To be very honest, I feel like I really have it set up well for my life. I plan on showing you how its set up soon but first I am going to do a video in a few weeks showing you my supplies and showing how I decorate it. Then I will do another video a little further down the road showing you how I have it set up. I just want to do it in the right order! These are amazing planners and you won't be disappointed if you get one. I promise! Also in this video, I am kinda doing a check in letting you know a few things going on around here and some upcoming videos and such. So without further ado....HERE ARE THE WINNERS!
