I just got a new flip ultra that I won in a contest with Mom Central, I left it out and my 4 yr old took over a hour of videos. here is one.
This was at 430 in the morning while I was sleeping. Didn’t even know they were awake.

So all I’ve ever wished for is a trip to Disney world. My family and I have never been. We don’t want a free trip, but If I am invited alone for free I would go.
I received an invitation to go to the Social Media Moms Disney event. Meet mom bloggers and have fun at Disney, sounds like a dream right. NO, actually it’s not! All these bloggers rant and rave about going to Disney free all the time. Disney mom blogger events etc. We’ll if I want to go to a blogger Disney event I have to pay $350 dollars, plus if I want family to attend $150 extra per person. That is F****in rediculous. I’m poor, I could take my family of 5 on a vacation for $350.
If your going to send me on a blogging trip, it has to be for free. Also we are parents, why have blogging trips on weekdays when we have duties to our children.
I am not going to make blog resolutions,because my blog is my past time. My life and family are more important. So I am going to share my personal resolution.
I am going to try to excercise more and eat right.
I am spending more time with the family and less on the computer.
Every year we plan and it never happens, so i am going to try to get my family to Disney World.(yes i know about the volunteer thing, thats not going to help with the money still).
I am sure this is on every ones list.
Saving Money, we are moving in june(not sure where yet). either Buffalo NY, SLC Utah, Columbus Ohio, or Worcester MA.
I would like to go on a blog trip this year.
Thats it, I tend to never keep them though, Thats the problem.
I’m sober and at home. Which is actually the way it should be since I have three kids.
Happy New Year, hope you achieve all your goals for this year!
I have been saying Merry Christmas for years, so if anyone is offended look away.
Hop everyone spends as much time with family as possible. Thats what Christmas is all about.
I’m taking the day off from internet, so have fun.
I volunteered at my daughters preschool yesterday, they were going to have a party and make a gingerbread house. Well the day started off bad because there was a black ice delay. So it didn’t start til 11, and they get out at 2.
So at first everyone just got to play, playdoh, cards, etc. My DD and her friends made bracelets with beads.
So then they finally got to make Houses out of graham crackers. Honestly I got a little upset, because I volunteered to bring in the graham crackers, m&m’s and chips. Which I did, but only 6 out of the 18 kids got to make them. Even today no one else got to make them.
So I feel like the food i bought got wasted, and will probably go to the cafeteria to be used for something else. Which is fine, but we don’t have a lot of money and thats not my job.
Anyways
here is how her house turned out.
Plus when we got home all three of my kids made this
Happy Holidays!
This is not geared towards anyone.
I wrote this because I even struggle with this problem.
Blogging is my hobby and I love it. I get a lot of fun out of it and I try to bring fun to everyone else. If you’ve noticed though my blogging time has been cut down tremendously. I blog a lot when kids are sleeping, but hubby complains.
I realized that I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough time with my children, or husband. Now I am home all day with my kids, but I do go on the computer occasionally. My children are never unattended, and my laptop follows them.
Family is always first. Money, free products, free trips, etc. is nice, but if it doesn’t involve my family it’s not worth it.
Now this has been up for over a week now
I have to admit I am so bad about getting my kids into a routine. I had them in one for a while, but then daylight savings screwed it all up. Now with Hectic schedules I find myself forgetting certain routines.
Some of my tips for getting my kids to bed is:
Always schedule a time- My kids are in bed at 8, may not fall asleep then but they have to lay in bed.
patience-Yes small kids will get up from time to time, just put them back in bed and walk away.
Reading a good story-reading a story is a great way to bond and let your child know there is nothing to be scared of.
if all else fails-Drive, my kids always fall asleep in the car, and if I can’t get them to go to sleep or if they are overly cranky. I go for a drive.
Leave a light on- a little less scared and will make them more comfortable

So the way it usually works is Dinner, bath, brush teeth, cuddles(reading), bedtime.
I know Thanksgiving was a week ago, but I thought I’d share my turkey. This is only my second time cooking. So I think I did pretty good
I got a 10 lb turkey
I did not use a recipe, just brushed with canola oil.
My results, sorry started carving first.
It turned out very well
Butterball did compensate me with a coupon for a free Turkey($15)
