Remember Me?

Yes, it’s been over 2 weeks since my last post.  I would not have known this had I not received an email from my twin letting me know!

I’m still here.

I’ve been participating in life these past couple weeks and have really enjoyed it!  I’ve also wanted to post all the stuff I’ve been doing and photos that I’ve taken, but I’ve been dragging my rear when it comes to actually doing it.  I’ve succumbed to expressing my thoughts on my Twitter account.  And in 140 characters or less, I can’t even say that much, but I do it anyhow!

Is my new blog ready?  Are you kidding me?  I could get on and spice up this blog on blogger in a split second, because I know blogger like the back of my hand.  I know WordPress like the back of my twin’s hand.  Let me further explain – I’ve never met my twin before, so that can clue you in to how well I’m figuring out WP right now!  It’s a work in progress.

So, why am I too busy to blog these days?

- My son absolutely loves to play, so we are outside collecting snow in Bella’s teacup sets, bringing them in and watching them melt all over my hardwood floors. Fun!  We go for walks almost daily with my new jogger stroller – booyah!  We read tons of books, play with Mrs. Potato Head (he adores Bella’s toys), watch the very beginning of the Veggie Tales so he can sing and dance to the theme song.  We also have been taking more time to snuggle at naptime which he loves and I do too!
- Our “Marriage Built to Last” class started up again this January.
- Since I’ve been approved to teach a 12+ month class at church on health, I am now going through a mentoring program as well as assisting another class being taught through the church (Purposeful Parenting).
- Next week I should be receiving my certification course for Personal Chef.
- I’m writing curriculum for the class I’ll be teaching.
- I’m in the process of putting together a beginning to end ‘Natural Fertility’ binder that will include prenatal nutrition care, balancing hormones, detoxing the body, etc.  Not only will I use this info to help clients, but I want to see if I can possibly teach a prenatal class that would be offered through our local midwifery/birth center
- I’m rearranging my entire house.  I get antsy when things stay the same too long, so I move things around all the time.  I got this from my mom.
- I’m in the process of completely going through our entire basement of storage and all that crap that gets tossed in the basement with no place to go.  I am purging and getting rid of so many things that are no longer necessary in this house.  It feels good to walk into the pit and see some progress taking place.
- I’ve been trying to figure out WordPress so I can complete my new blog.  It’s a good thing I don’t use foul language, because I would have used a lot of it lately trying to get my new blog up and going.  Crap is my word of choice while working on it!
- I’ve been taking more time to go through my design books and I sit down at my design table to draw and write out ideas for my ‘dream home’.  Bella has been helping me and has informed me that since my new house is so awesome, she never wants to move away from mommy and daddy, even if she gets married.  Works for me!
- So you get the point… I have been busy with life.  I don’t get online much these days, but when I do I try to stop in a few blogs each time so I can catch up on everyone.  I miss you guys! 

Well, time to get Bella from school.  She is ‘Student of the Week’ this week and she was so excited to do her photo collage and her information packet they fill out.  She is growing up so fast, I’m not laughing about it at all.  And next month (Valentine’s Day to be exact), Scout will turn 2 years old!!!  So not fair and so not cool for him to grow up on me like this!  The little guy is talking a lot and says so many words.  It’s cute to hear him mumble around and try to carry on conversations!

I’ll be checking in on you all, slowly but surely!  Have a beautiful week!
