Me and My Mac

I'm on my new Macbook and absolutely loving it!  So much fun.  Different, its been a challenge learning all the different things on it and where everything is.  I'm loving it though, so much (did I say that?).  Everything is so much more clearer and fun looking.  I can't believe we didn't get one before this, life is so much more easier.  I can make my own website, make my own music (yeah right, not gifted there), iphotos (all my pics!) and lots more.  Sounds like I'm trying to sell it to you doesn't it?  I do like it a lot.  Except for the part where we have to sign up and pay money to be able to publish our website.  Of course not everything is perfect and we will probably do that in time.  Anyways thats the newest thing in my life.  Now onto transferring all the pics (hundreds of them) from my husbands computer to this one, thats going to be fun (note, sarcasm).    

Tips!!!!

Here I am checking out other blogs to see what they have to say about organizing and cleaning their homes and here I came across a very interesting article on using Dawn to cleaning everything from windows to carpets to toilets. Check it out! http://www.blissfullydomestic.com/2008/05/clean-on-the-ch.html
There's some very intersting blogs out there, the one I'm in the middle of reading is on Sahmmy Says its a 365 Day Clutter Challenge. Everyday she either throws, donates or sells something to declutter her home. Very interesting, very inspiring, check it out http://sahmmysays.blogspot.com/

Yada Yada

I'm here every day browsing other blogs, feeling very inspired about what other people (especially mothers) blog about. Most of them have posted every day, which I think is very awesome to be able to have that time, energy and sharing all the things going on in their life at that time. I feel inspired, energized just reading them and wanting to do just what they are doing. One problem, nothing is happening. I get on to my site to write and I have nothing, zip, nada. My children are angels, they are, no goofiness. Senaye is just a princess and does most everything in a proper sort of way (hmm...reminds me of someone). Kadie well, she could be an interesting one. She sits there, hoping to crawl after her sister, but can't. So she screams (oh yes its an ear piercing scream), those vocals sure can work. Sadly that is all. I've done nothing silly, how humiliating if I did, so I tread carefully with everything I do. I really really want to write, my fingers beg to type something many times a day, but I have nothing. Any ideas to get my brain a moving would be greatly appreciated. My brain is getting lazy in these wonderful summer days we are having and its not even summer yet (two more days)! So there you have it, my gab session for today.

Tidbit of the Day

I did it again, I have new do! I went for a color and a cut, but totally not what I expected to come home with. More blonde, very punk look. Love it, not sure of the bangs though, very heavy. Takes time to get use to and I'll probably style it different. Something I needed, something I need a lot, change. Hey its easy to grow back right. If I mess up, I can grow it out. Not like most things in life.

Went to the park yesterday with the girls in the morning. What a great day to do that, what would have made it better would have been if they had the spray park open. The girls had fun. Senaye in the park area and Kadie sitting there enjoying the weather. Lots of people had the same idea, it was packed. Lots of fun.
Am I the only one that worries about her kid falling of the play gym because the other kids are really rough? I really had to stop myself a couple times about worrying about Senaye. She has to learn to be a little more pushy and to not be pushed. The kids weren't being mean at all, but were a lot more rougher than I was comfortable with. I want to protect her but not be over protective, that lovely fine line.

Had our new neighbors over yesterday. Nice people. A married couple with two little girls Senaye and Kadie's age. Its great to have good neighbors, people you can trust with your kids, that will look out for you. We have that on both side of us and in a questionable neighborhood too. God has blessed us in this home most definantly.

Anyways that my ramblings for today, not much, but something.

Life's Like That

Yes its been awhile since I have blogged. Not that I haven't thought of doing it or I have been to busy, I just didn't have anything to share or I just didn't feel like it.
Been a crazy month emotionally and physically but I'm getting through it. The girls have kept me on my toes, especially Kadie. She's a doll now that we found out about teething salts. Very expensive but definantly worth it, she was very challenging to be around before that.

Been busy getting my room done. This month I bought the duvet cover and sheets. It looks very girly in the room right now, so I'm hoping my next step will turn it away from that a little. Oh well, Jer did say he felt like he slept better in the pink sheets :) He's a great husband, putting up with my decorating. Next is the wall tattoo and curtains. I will get pics uploaded sometime this summer for you all to see. Looks good, much better than before, yes even though it is pink.

Going to be a busy summer. Heading to Estevan Sask. for a couple days in mid July to visit a college friend of mine who has come from South Africa with her husband and new twin boys. They are missionarys there with YWAM, looking forward to seeing them since I haven't seen them since Senaye was born. Then a couple days after we get back from that trip which is an 8 hr drive both ways, we head to Abbotsford for two weeks and yes we are driving. We will be stopping half way to sleep though. I'm not that crazy. We will be visiting some great friends of ours there. Then our next plans are a wedding of a friend of Jer's, he's an attendant for her. So far it feels like most of our summer is gone, but it always feels that way. Anyways thats what my life will be like in the next couple months. What is everyone elses plans??

I've taken up knitting, finding it very relaxing. I'm still on my first project, i've had to restart 4 times at the very least. I'm still keeping at it though. Like I said before its very relaxing, a little hard. Oh well we all need a challenge now ans then. We'll see how long this lasts.

I've added flowers to my garden, its nice to walk outside and see some color out there. I've planted a lot of lilies, and my bleeding heart bush (very very small) had one flower on it. As well as some pink fillers which I can't remember the name of. Plus my lilacs came through this year, I absolutly love the smell of them so I was very excited to see them pop out after two summers without. Anyways thats the happenings in my life.
