HomeMaker Pro #2
In case you didn't notice...I changed the title of this weekly post to 'Homemaker Pro'! I thought it fit more than that other title..whatever it was, can't remember? Hmmm...I must need CHOCOLATE!!! It's really the only way I can function during the day! Anyway...Here's to another week of being a Stay at home Mama!
Now that I'm done blabbering about whatever it was that I was blabbering about! (Must need more CHOCOLATE!)...seriously, what was this post about? Oh yeah...
Homemaker Pro's make their own schedule's.
My most favorite part about being a HPro is..making my own schedule! OH yeah!!! Now this is what I'm talking about! I make my OWN schedule. I decide when appt's will be. I do Grocery Shopping when I want too (I call this, The RUNWAY...a place where MOM's dress up just in case we see another MOM). I'm TOTALLY in love with Mr. Man..aka: Hubby..for giving me this great FREEDOM!
My weekly schedule (it's all subject to change though):
Monday - Recover from the weekend. Laundry!
Tuesday - I schedule almost all Appt's on this day! Makes it easy to remember. NO laundry today! Spend time in my Studio...making fun stuff.
Tuesday - I schedule almost all Appt's on this day! Makes it easy to remember. NO laundry today! Spend time in my Studio...making fun stuff.
Wednesday - Laundry! OMG!! Laundry!
Thursday - It's CLEANING DAY!! I clean the whole house! Bathrooms, LR, Kitchen, etc.....deep cleaning people! Why? Because it's my Date Night!! (that's another post) No Laundry, maybe a little?!
Friday - The Runway, Light Cleaning, Get ready for the weekend! Make sure Laundry is done...no leftovers for the weekend!
This isn't my whole schedule, of course. We would be here all day if I wrote EVERYTHING I did everyday, as would you! You get the idea though. The best part....I can change it if I want too! Like the part about exercising...I totally took that out after the first week of my schedule. That was about 5 years ago! I should be adding it back to my schedule soon!;)
Homework: Make some kind of schedule for yourself and keep it, for this week at least:). Maybe, I'll work-out this week? hmmm, or NOT!
Last weeks HW: Write a note to your hubby and kids, telling them how much you love them.

Happy Birthday to ME!!
Have you heard of Jeff Dunham? He's so funny! We have a couple of his DVD's that we watch, just to laugh! My hubby knows how much I love to laugh and watch Jeff Dunham. Sooooo, for my BIRTHDAY...the other day, he surprised me with tickets to see JD. And guess what?? The date for the show was the next night! He already asked his brother & sis-n-law, to go with us AND got a sitter for our kids. He's so Great! We went and SERIOUSLY...laughed until our tummy's hurt! It was a great Birthday! My kids got me a PINK mouse for the 'Puter and I SCORED an iPHONE!
Here's a clip from one of the DVD's we have...

New Eye Pillows....Just in time for Valentine's Day!
I've been playing around with a new design. And since everyone knows, if you don't you should, I'm a little Sassy. So, I thought it would be appropriate to make something with A LOT of SASSY! I'm pretty sure these are Sassy! Anyway, could you imagine waking up with one of these on...I'm pretty sure your day would start out VERY GOOD!! Who says that a good night sleep doesn't need a very cute ACCESSORY? Good Dreams await you...!

{Update: This post was 'formerly known as'...Joys of Motherhood. I changed it! :)}
A weekly course about the Joys of Staying Home
I'll start out by saying...How much I LOVE being a Professional Homemaker. It gives me more time to spend with my kids and My Hubby. I have time to learn and teach and grow...everyday! I'm a better person because I have the opportunity to Stay Home with my family. Thank You, My Dear Hubby!
I didn't always feel this way though. I loved working and hated working at different and times in my life. I would feel so good about working, then I just felt ROBBED of time with my family. I felt so torn between my obligations to Family and to Work. A quote made my decision to Stay Home a lot easier...
"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them." -Richard L. Evans
This is true....I tried it!! I asked my kids, when they were complaining about not having what 'ALL' thier friends had. I told them I would go to work so they could have those things. Immediately, they shouted NO! I rest my case!
So, in the weeks to come...I will be sharing what I think about being a Professional Homemaker!
For today, I will tell you....Being a PH is something YOU GET to do, not something YOU HAVE to do. There is a big difference. Cherish the time you have with your family and be grateful for it!
Your Homework: Write a note to your hubby and kids, telling them how much you love them.

Taken from Musings of a Military WifeAre you sick and tired of everyone under the sun claiming they need a bail out? Do you wonder what the banks did with all of the funds they were given at the end of last year?
Just think, if the fed’s had given each person in America their “cut” of those funds instead of the banks, where would we be now? How many mom and pop shops would STILL be open, how many homes would still have there families inside?
Do you have a blog? Do you have an opinion? Want to be apart of something? Then join us on 1/20/2009 and have your official #bhbo post ready to publish to your blog on 1/20 with your own Baill Out request for the government.
What is #bhbo? Why it is Blog Hop Bail Out, which was heard first on the Classy Closet via blog talk just this morning (1/14) hosted by ClassyJen and SugarJones.
#bhbo wants you and your blog. Get to drafting your official request for a bail out from the government. Make it good, make it fun, but make it #bhbo.
More information coming soon……for now I must #bhbo on Twitter
Chair Jenga!! A NEW Family Night Tradition!
You may be wondering what we were doing last night...well, I'll tell ya! We played 'Chair Jenga' with our kids. Some of the kids wore hats on their heads in case the chairs fell. Such smart little people! Anyway, it was my hubby's idea...I guess he played this type of 'Jenga' in college. Hmmm, I thought he was studying? We took turns adding different pieces of furniture to the pile and not one piece fell. Thank goodness, my tiny black table was in there!
An inch from the ceiling...that's TALENT!!
All the chairs are up, now onto the stools...OMG, so FUN!
Posing,for the Camera!
Hard Hats, Please!!

Nesting Place, A Wreath and The Repentance Bench!
One of my favorite blogs has to be 'Nesting Place'. I love her style and the way she talks, types...you know what I mean. I've gone through several of her posts and have taken notes, Seriously!! These pictures are from two of her posts....One of them is the layout of the pic's with the mirror, you can find it HERE! The other, is the WREATH!! Oh, how I love this Wreath! She shows how to make it out of faux fur and a straw wreath. Brilliant! You can see how HERE!
Oh, and one more thing!!!!....This is our Church Pew I found in the Classifieds. I painted it RED! And...it's been named the "Repentance Bench" haha!! No, Seriously!! That's what we call it.
That's all for today...I'm off to start on NEW project and hopefully finish it by the end of the year!!
Did you notice a picture is missing in one of the frames....opps!! Forgot to move the pic's down and put my hubby and I in the top one. I'll do it soon, I hope!?
