but really

what's going on here?

 

Bear is going to be walking like soon. did you girls see my IG video. I can't beleive how grown up he is already!  I've started planning his first birthday party, so there's that:(

and that's about it.  I'm hiring a cleaning lady to help me around the house. she'll come once every other week I think..she said $90 a visit and that's for everything except beds/laundry.  she'll even clean windows, doors, light switches...which I can't seem to convince anyone in my house are important areas to clean.

okay.  love you chicks!

    How is he almost 1??? Didn't you just tell us you were pregnant?? Are you doing a theme?

    And so jealous of the cleaning lady. I've been trying to convince DH to get one, but no luck.

     

  • @klm42404 I don't know where the time went. I am so excited and sad all wrapped together.

     

    we're going to do a mickey mouse clubhouse theme!  I haven't started really planning at all, but do know we're going to do it at the park around the corner from my IL's house

  • Just livin the dream. But really, not much is going on round here. Painting the house and laying low. Looking forward to the warmer weather and being outside more.
  • I saw the video!!!!   OMG he's going to be a fast one!

    I decided to tackle the house cleaning myself.  I needed it for my sanity.  I started getting the flylady emails and it's working out well.  You work a different zone each week.  I see her suggestions and if I don't like them I find another "missions" to do in that zone.  Like last week she wanted to pick up the bedroom, which I did last month and it's still pretty clean.  So I focused on our closet - we have 5 trash bags so far to donate!  You're suppose to do 15 mins/day but I use a naptime on the weekend to get it done at once.  Jeff just told me this morning how much better the house is looking.  So it's making a noticeable difference.  Each month it's getting easier and easier since I'm decluttering and finding a place for every thing.

  • @amccul20 Love it!  We did Minnie for M's first birthday.  There are so many cute ideas. 

    @mana8503 Maybe I should look into that.  I try to do some cleaning every weekend.  My biggest issue is the clutter.  We have crap everywhere!! I'll spend 2 hours straightening up on a Sunday but by Wednesday it is back to normal.    B/n M's stuff and DH's constant house projects, it drives me crazy. 

     

  • @klm42404 - that's how I felt.  I was cleaning but nothing was getting done or staying done.  I'm honestly trashing or donating anything I don't use.  I don't need so much STUFF.  I've taken out 2 trash bags full from our bathroom.  It was just crap I just had laying around that I "might use". 

    If you sign up, it's a LOT of emails.  She's trying to sell cleaning stuff and it's like 15 emails/day of testimonials.  I'm about to switch over to the lite version now I get the gist of what to do.  I just like getting the week ahead email on Saturday and plan my mission for the week in my planner.  I could just go to her website and get it.

  • I need to just do 15 minutes a day but at the end of the day it feels like all I do is feed the baby, clean bottle, dinner, pump, bathtime....and then all I want to do is crash.  Our house isn't really messy/cluttered it's more the actual cleaning I have a hard time doing. the bathrooms, windows, baseboards..
  • @mrsskiz it's been ages since i've seen you!!
  • Work has been crazy busy for me.  We just had 2 back to back due dates and I've been working an adjusted schedule (6-3) and overtime.  I am exhausted but can't seem to sleep, so that's fun.  
  • @amccul20 - haha that's our routine too!  I have 2 hours between getting home and when E melts down for bed.  If Jeff is home, after she goes to sleep is "our" time.  When he's not there, I do something quick.  Like last night I went through my bathing suit drawer and picked up my night stand area and dust.  I make a list at the beginning of the week of things I want to do and just pick from there.  I'll admit the bedroom stuff was last week's list.  Now on to this week's list which is living room!  I don't know why, but lists and missions motivate me.  I like checking boxes.
