I wrote a crazy-long list of goals for this year.  Here is how I did last month on my Insane Goals. June Accomplishments: 1. Grace is fully potty trained!!!  She still wears a pullup at night time, but 90% of the time she wakes up dry.  I am so thrilled.  As a reward for finally getting into the routine of going #2 in the potty, she got to pick out a dress.  It is so tacky.  It was the only one in the store I hated and of course it is the one she picked.  I can live it with though if it means I'm not washing poop out of underwear! 2. I'm slowly making progress on my digital photos.  I uploaded all of December 2012.  I still have some … [Read more...]

I wrote a crazy-long list of goals for this year.  Here is how I did last month on my Insane Goals. May Accomplishments: 1. I HUNG SOME PICTURES!!!!  This is a huge deal.  I've lived in this house for nearly 4 years and there is barely a thing on my walls.  I added a decorative mirror to the upstairs bathroom, a picture collage in Grace's room, a canvas wrapped print in the master bedroom, a cloth covered bulletin board in the dining room, and a vinyl lettering "sticker" in the living room. 2. Speaking of pictures... I didn't upload any news ones to Snapfish, but I did finish a month worth of pictures in my 2009 photo book.  I also … [Read more...]

Speaking of birthday's, I hosted Noah's first birthday party.  My hosting goal for the year was to have someone over for supper once every two months. … [Read more...]

I wrote a crazy-long list of goals for this year.  Here is how I did last month on my Insane Goals. March Accomplishments: 1. I did some major hosting this month.  I had a friend from high school stay with us for 3 nights along with her husband and 2 kids.  Plus I hosted Easter dinner for my sister and her family.  Speaking of Easter... 2. Nate and I have been rocking the at-home-date-nights.  One night we played board games and asked each other cliche thought provoking questions like... If you could go back in time and relive any part of your life again, which time period would you choose?  It sounds cheesy, but it was actually a lot of … [Read more...]

I wrote a crazy-long list of goals for this year.  Here is how I did last month on my Insane Goals. February Accomplishments: 1.  I hosted a wedding show & tell themed Girls Night at my house this past month.  We brought our albums and shared clips from our ceremony videos.  Then we voted on things like best dress, flowers, men's wear, cake, and get-away car.  The winner of each category got to pick a prize (chocolate, lip gloss, bubble bath, etc).  My hosting goal this year was just once every two months, but this was my second event this year.  It feels good to be ahead with something on my list! 2.  This was another good month of … [Read more...]
