Little Updates...

I have been pretty busy this month with looking up projects for us to do over the next few weeks. I have found some great things on Pinterst Easter Crafts Board. Adyson is very excited to start some projects! We also started looking in to some Mother's Day and Father's Day crafts to do but nothing stood out yet.

We did do a test mug! I will up date you on how it came out!! Adyson wrote on it with Sharpie, we put it in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. I will test its durability and update you next post!

Adyson is growing up so fast! She wanted to be a big girl and put on nails. Needless to say they lasted about 3 hours.

Sorry this is so short. I am working on a more detailed on for later in the week/month! Love you guys! No go out an ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE!!!!!

February in Review!

I know its been a MONTH since I last posted but life got away from me the month of February. It was a whirl wind of appointments and dentist appointments and Aunt Nancy came back for 10 days, Adyson's birthday party, my birthday, my mothers birthday, grandfathers birthday, etc... Oh did I mention all my baby goats (kids) were born last month too?

So Aunt Nancy made the decision to go back to Washington. We miss her already. She had a great trip to Texas. She came back to Tennessee to wrap up a few things and have eye surgery (which went very well). She was only here 10 days. It already seems so long ago. My how time does fly when you are busy.

Adyson started out the month sick with a nasty upper respiratory infection. Which resulted in 3 visits to the doctor. She was put on breathing treatments every 6 hours for 7 days. Brittany has had a few check up appointments and orthodontic appointments as well. I am hoping March will be a calmer month!

Adyson's birthday party was wonderful. She had such a hard time deciding the theme of her party. She FINALLY decided on My Little Pony. I made everyone's favorite meal, CHILI!!! Everyone had a great time!

Then on my birthday this little guy was born! And his mother didn't pay much attention to him. So I had to bottle feed him during the first day. But he and his momma are doing great now! Adyson named him Tailspinner!

Then we came back from library(a few days later) and found these little girls! Doesn't one of the little girls look like her big sister OREO?? It tripped us out for a few minutes when we found them! Brittany named the white little girl Sparkle, Adyson named the black and white Twilight!

Then the next day Brittany found Cloudy! (Her mom is OREO)

        

Jackie and Brittany stuffing their face with some homemade tacos!!! They couldn't even wait to sit down at the table! (Don't you love Brittany's new hair cut? I do! )

  






Savings- Just an update on the weekly savings. Remember I am working backward/reverse from everyone else. Week 9 means I have $433 in my Christmas savings account! How much have you saved this year?

Don't forget the Snow/Rainy day activities so no one gets bored with all the snow days we are having!

What did you do in February? 

Bath Closet Clean Up

             Its very nice having a closet in your bathroom. As many of you might already know I am an EX-couponer. I have been out of the "loop of couponing" for almost 2 years. I would buy 4-10 papers, cut, clip, organize, stare at grocery ads, raid shelves, come home and stock pile. Well that works great when you have a family that can use everything. I learned from couponing that buying what was on sale this week for laundry soap, soap, shampoo, etc,  then buying something completely different the next week, started to cause all of us to have skin problems. Its one of the reasons I started in 2013 turning to natural and homemade products. 

BEFORE

Once I realized that all the switching of products was effecting my kids (and we had enough to last us a YEAR) I slowly stopped (we also ran out of room to put stuff). So with everything in this closet that causes us skin problems I had to find great homes for everything.


AFTER...I had my husband add another shelf to the top of the closet. I sorted everything, I kept what we could use. I donated the rest.

TOP Shelf- Now has a few body washes,

Middle Shelves- Wash clothes and towels

Bottom- Shampoo and toilet paper!

                                                 

                                               

Sorry this is so short, but its a bathroom closet. I cleaned it out. Organized the shelves. I donated stuff that could no longer be used.

What did you clean today?
