Etsy, Baby, Etsy

And if you thought that was great...check out this other Etsy, Baby, Etsy post...it is fantastic!

My Kangaroo has some out of this world stuff...

I have become a big fan of the shopping/selling site Etsy. It is all homemade goods---it has everything you could ever want to buy. I found My Kangaroo ( or is it she found me) and she has the coolest thing...

Outer Space Crayons

I think these are SO cool looking! I am so buying some for my son's birthday in September. She has educational stuff also. Great stuff! You can even get some customized crayons or educational stuff too. That would be so cool to make custom flash cards for your kids.

Anyway, check her store and all of Etsy out. You will be hooked on homemade.

Stimulus Payment Update...

WE FINALLY GOT IT!!!

Mommy Monday Update

So I have been really bad on my blogging since the whole My-Gall-Bladder-and Liver-and Kidneys-Hate-Me health issue. But I have been trying to do better...and to narrow down the hobbies (addictions) I am going to have. And even that has been next to nothing since I got my evening (very very late evening) part time job.

But I am going to do my best to do updates on my family every monday. So here goes...

Kincaid and the horrible hair cut I gave him for picture day---yea---this haircut is saved forever.

Corrine for V-day---late I know but look how cute she is!

Connor lovin' the camera!

Liam lovin' the camera!

This is our volcano weekend project. We still have the volcano and use it alot!

This is short and sweet but I had to start somewhere. I hope to be back soon...maybe even visit some old bloggy friends!

I just can't help it...I think it is an addiction...

I think I can't help but to go too much...

so i have the 4 kids and the hubby...

there is always never-ending housework...

now i have a part-time job (cause we are trying to buy the house we live in and need all the money we can get)

but don't for get the scrapbooking/papercrafting hobby I have wanted to get into for years and now have the little extra money to do so

but now with food prices ( and i think the older you get the more you just have to have one or more of these)...i am starting a veggie garden...kind of a big one. We have a double lot in the little town we live in and there is already a large patch of earth fenced off for just a veggie garden.

So let us review--me and my family

ok...now you have to stop talking/blogging with me so I can go and get some sleep...but before I go you just have to check out this gardening blog I have spent over 3 hours on tonite

Tiny Farm Blog
I am lovin' it!

Where are you, beloved stimulus package?

I don't mean to sound like a greedy lady, but George (who know which one) said me and my family would have our beloved one time payment today. So...where is it? I kinda need gas and food--even though that is not what is was meant for.

What about you? Have you gotten yours yet? Am I the only one wondering and waiting today?

I am so excited...

I am getting more into scrapbooking--it helps that we have extra money for my and garrett's hobbies-- but for our 8 year anniversery...i know...8 years...but anyway...he got me a cricut expression machine...and in case you don't know what a cricut machine is and the wonders it can do...

Click here to find out how awesome it is!!!

My job is going good. The late hours kind of suck...but what can ya do! At least I am getting out of the house!

One thing we all love is netflix. If any of you have not tried it...you should. We finally gave into the netflix lifestyle and we love it. Right now we are getting 5 movies at a time for $30 a month. We mail our movies back on monday and have 5 new movies for the weekend...we love it...and it saves us so much money cause we were spending $100 or more a month to buy moves we only watched a few times. And this way we can see the movie first and then decide whether or not to buy it...we just HAD to buy the Ant Bully...our kids just loved it...but you have to go check it out!!! (and i am not getting paid for this plug...but i should...we just think it is just that awesome!)

The main network I frequent is Facebook. I hope to see ya there.

But I must go now and change some diapers.

Look What I Can Do

Well, I didn't do it...Goofy Girl did...and Goji Juice girl...GO GOJI JUICE! But check out my new look. Now I have to come and post regularly. But now that my new look is officially here, I think I must update those few people (thanks) who still check here sometimes:


So our computer is still possessed by some gremlin. Sometimes it is a virus...sometimes it is a bad hard drive...sometimes it is our twins wondering what that pretty POWER ON button is all about...but regardless...we need a new computer. So on to the next piece of news...







I got a part time job. Nothing too fancy...especially in small town Iowa...I am working at the Spencer Daily Reporter late evenings. I have a very important job...i put the inserts in the paper...Glam-or-ous! But the hours work so I can still get some sleep and have no daycare. And it is 20-25 hours so I can make extra money so we can buy stuff we want...not stuff we need...like my new hobby I have been meaning to take up for a few years now...

SCRAPBOOKING--I have been wanting to do this for years. Now I have finally stopped the procrastination. I have the albums...have the glue...FINALLY developed my pictures of when my 5 year old was an infant...have the pretty paper...have the extra money to fund the hobby...now I am off. Now if I could just figure out the digital scrapbooking--anybody got any suggestions on how/where to go to learn that?!

We got our Land Rover fixed. And we bought a fuel-awesome car over the winter. So now my hubby can start the hobby he has wanted to start for some time---Decking out his landrover to go off roading. Yea...it is only alittle bit more than my hobby (GULP) but our Land Rover is awesome...best 4X4 truck on the planet! Or so I have been told.

But there it is...The past few months in a nutshell. So what if the making money with blogging fell through so far. I have met some fantastic people/bloggers/mothers/fathers/shewhobloggers/fun mondayers/kids registry-ers/momisoders/ningers/lil mousers/and anyone inbetween-ers. Now that my health is better and I am at least making $$$ somehow with no daycare, I can just blog...for the sake (addiction) of blogging.
