We're Back

My, oh my! Feels like we have been gone for ages and so much has happened! I thought I would come back and share more of our adventures with you!

Couple things, I am no longer a nanny. In fact, I was able to secure my dream job as a photographer and am in the process of setting up my studio just the way I like it. I will update all the fun new props as I get to try them out. As always the littles will be helping me out with that. When I have a bit more time on my hands I will be creating some new content for all you patient readers.

I have recently partnered with Buzzoole and FabFitFun so I will also be adding to my reviews page and posting an unboxing so my awesome readers will actually get to see me!

Very exciting things coming our way this year and I am so excited that you all get to be part of it. 

Feel free to checkout my Facebook page and drop a like or comment. 

Without further ado here are my babies. Yes, I know, they are so big!

How I Made Life Happen

I have lots of new updates for everyone and I am so excited. Right now I am setting my printer up in a temporary home so I can send in my transcripts for school. I have applied for enrollment at the local community college for my associates in IT. I couldn't be happier.
You see all those commercials on TV about just picking up the phone and your like, yeah right. Pick up the phone and pay you thousands of dollars for credits that might not transfer or you have to take six extra classes unrelated to the major you really want. Well, I sucked it up and it turns out I qualify for all kinds of financial aid and grants and stuff. That's always fun, free money.

That isn't the only thing going on either, as most of you know I preggo and waiting patiently to find out what we are having. (I had a very uncooperative woman at the last ultra sound who gave me excuses like, ' The baby's too small to see.' and 'You can't tell this early.') What ever. Anyway the next scheduled ultra sound is for next Wednesday and my husband has taken the day off to join me. (These doctor visits are a little more challenging when you have a toddler to chase around. This is what I signed up for.

So with all this going on I like to make things as challenging as possible, cause why not, and I also joined a newly formed garden club for my town. We are looking to build a community garden in our town and use the produce we get from it to supply the schools with healthy lunches and snacks. (The end result is not set in stone, of course, there is no telling if we will get anything out of it just yet.)

So now I have my self, with child, doing my thing as a nanny, working on this garden project and now I'm trying to start school in a month or so. Fantastic! My husband once told me I am like my aunt. She is 70+  years old and retired, takes painting class, works a support group, does charity, still camps in her RV and to this day hosts all our family gatherings in her own home. Shit, I'm not nearly that organized but I am getting better.

So kids, I have this to say today.....
I don't care if you fucked off in high school, got preggo young, did a little time or simply didn't get great grades. I don't care what all your teachers in school told you, or if you just waited a while. There is always another chance. Another place for you and another direction you can take. If you don't like where you are at then do something about it. I did and I am the last person on earth anyone would have expected to end up here.

What's Been Up?

I guess this would be more of an update than anything else. I haven't really attempted any more projects lately.... well, cause I'm friggan tired. I was working full time for the first four months of pregnancy with my daughter so maybe I just didn't notice as much. But man I am only rounding out month two and I am exhausted. Not to mention I have been sick, really bad at first but gradually getting better, also something I didn't experience with my first. I am very curious to see how the rest of it plays out and how the kids compare. One thing that didn't change is the excitement.

This is funny actually, because about a week before I got the good news my husband picked up a pee stick for me on his suggestion. I took it and it was negative and I did a little happy dance in the bathroom. This seemed to concern my husband because he commented on my excited nature a couple times. (I did indeed want more kids but I wanted to have one more summer of cook outs and jello shots before preggo mommy had to come back.) A week later to the day I'm standing by the sink, washing the dishes and out of nowhere I start feeling real sick and I bolt for the bathroom. Took another test and sure enough... here we go again.

Anyway, the kids are out of school and I have two toddlers and a 9 year old for the whole summer. Yay, (insert sarcasm here) We have hit the beach, the playground, we went walking through the city and even drove to other towns for their playgrounds and I gotta say. while some of it was fun.... I'm exhausted and my patience is getting low. I believe the two are related.

As I mentioned I am pretty tired but I do have other news about my almost 2 year old. She still isn't talking.... so frustrating but she has an evaluation with a speech therapist tomorrow so I hope that all goes well. At least I will find out how far behind she really is and what I can do to encourage her to use speech instead of gestures. So as you can see I have been quite a busy Mama.

Soon to come I have some new reviews to get done and I am very excited to share my review of the new stroller and car seat, so exciting. I am also working on a post and photos for the gardening progress, (lots to see) and I will also be sharing some new photography work of mine this week. Lots to see and lots to do this summer.

As always, any questions, comments etc hit up the comments section and let me know what you think.
