Making some changes







I'm trying to make some changes lately. We need to save money and I've also taken over the Accounting part of JK Pest & Termite business for my husband. We need to be VERY aware of what we are spending.

However, I don't feel like my house can't look nice still! So, I've taken up crafting! I have quite a few friends who take old and make them new! One in particular is Shannon Vaughan Danis! She's wonderful at this!
Well, I just want you all to know... if I can do it... believe me, you can! I've been going crazy because I can't go to all the stores and get the expensive decor I really want. Well, if I can't buy it... why not do my best to make it?!

I'll keep you all up to date... currently I'm working on Maddox's bathroom! This is going to be whale themed bathroom!

While I've begun this process... I want you to know I've already gotten TONS of ideas from PINTEREST.COM! WOW... you thought facebook was addicting? NOPE... Pinterest is SO addicting! I have to thank Natalie Brown for sending me the invite to join! I simply can't get enough of this site!

About Food:

Last night I went to Poste in DC, for restaurant week with some of my girl friends. I had a really great time. This was my first time going to resaurant week and I must say... I can't see myself skipping out on it again! Although it's hard to rip myself away from my little guy... I have to admit, it was nice to just hang out with the girls, let loose and have some good food... and a couple glasses of vino! I actually had a couple bites of BASS.... And.... drumroll please***** I liked it! I wouldn't say love and I'm not sure I would order it, but... I did like it. I actually had the vegetarian dish... not because I'm a vegetarian... however I could never see myself eating... BABY GOAT! ;) The desert... AWESOME! And now to the service... NOT so great. We all talked about how there was about 3 people serving us but our drinks took a while to get served and well there wasn't much of the "How are you doing, do you need anything else"... so we were not impressed with the service.
BATHROOMS?.... As long as you don't mind walking out of the restaurant, into the hotel connected, up the two flights of stairs.... past the to wasted girls tumbling all over the place... and down a couple halls... then sure, they aren't too far... ( Can you sense my sarcasm?)
Well, we'll see what the next restaurant week comes up with. :D



About Maddox:

Maddox now has FOUR teeth total! Three on the top, One on the bottom! Can you believe it? One more day and my son will be 7 MONTHS OLD! Too fast.... too fast, that's all I can say!
So, he is sitting up like a big boy! All by himself! He's grabbing toys, grabbing everything in front of him! He's aware of everything going on around him and is SO inquisitive! He has this sponge soaking look on his face all the time! He's just taking it ALL in. Now... he's working on the crawling... he gets around... somehow scooching or turning, who knows... such small movements we have no idea how he gets from one end of the room to the other.. it's like he only does it when we're not looking! Ha.

Well, he got up on his hands and knees and did the rocking thing one day... and now won't do it again. Justin found the rocking hilarious as he says... Why is he humping the ground??? "Awe, that's my boy!" Justin says... Oh man. Although... I must admit, it does strangely look like he's quickly humping the floor and I can't help but burst out laughing like a child myself. haha.

Maddox... focusing... "How do I do this..."

"Dude... mom! Stop taking pics!"


BLOGGING:

SO... My next stop on the blog is to take pictures! I know, blogs are SO much better with some pictures to go with them! So from now on, i'll add pics to my blogs. :D EXP with my new crafts I'll be working on.

I'm starting this post not sure what it's going to end up as...

Sorry it's been a MONTH since the last post... Being a mommy, a full time working mommy and a wifey is a lot of work and keeps me pretty busy! On top of that work has been getting increasingly more busy every day... ugh. Is this a good thing?... Yes, because when I'm busy it makes my day go by so much faster... is it a bad thing? Yes, because the more busy I am the more stressed I get.. of course. While I do my best to not sweat the small stuff... sometimes the small stuff does make me sweat. I do my best to say... I can only control what I do... not what others do... but sometimes I ignore myself. ha.

Over the past month we've been on a couple vacations, we've figured out that Maddox absolutely loves the beach and the pool... water baby is what we have! I LOVE it! He is such a goooood baby! Justin and I go so lucky with our guy! He naps on the beach in the shade and then plays in the water or even just sits and plays in his pool on the beach! I can't tell you how much I love hearing what a good baby he is from people! It makes me so proud of my little guy! I mean I think he is a GREAT baby, so good... but you never know if you just think that because YOUR the mommy.... so when others confirm it's true... it makes you feel good!

Let's hope that Mister Maddox keeps his calm demeanor throughout his life. I do love his laid back personality but he also knows how to let out chuckles and laughs that just brighten my day!

If I could have any wish at all in the world... it would be to be a stay at home mommy and stay with my love bug.

Well, I also noticed I never shared pictures of Maddox's room! SO, My next blog I'll share the pictures of Maddox's room :D

PS... What do ya know... this one ended up being about Maddox mainly.. ha, so this is my life :D

Till next time, happy blogging!
