Getting into trouble

Danna (my 2.5 year old) is definitely keeping me on my toes.

Here's a list of only some of the things she's done in the past week while my back was turned:
  • emptied the floss from the floss dispenser
  • taken her diapers off and peed on the carpet twice
  • ran around the kitchen spilling plum juice all over the ground (and walls)
  • colored with pen on our computer screen
  • emptied the toilet paper in our bathroom AND cut it up with scissors that she found somewhere (luckily no hair)
  • broken a DVD when she jumped on it on her bed
  • taken tampons out of their wrappers and left them all over the house (Mike really didn't like this one)
  • slammed her sisters fingers in the toybox and her bedroom door
  • pulled pictures off the wall over Carina's crib
  • emptied the drawer of beads I keep in the basement all over the floor
  • took a bite out of almost every apple in the crisper and left it around the house
  • broken the dry spaghetti noodles all over the kitchen floor
  • emptied all the pieces and cards and tiles of all the games we own (that's a lot)on the living room floor.  Dominoes, Sequence tokens, Rummikub tiles, Life money and little plastic people, dice all over the place. . .
  • colored on her face and feet with a dry erase marker


I don't have many pictures cause at the time the last thing I'm thinking of is how I'm going to remember this moment. And I'm spending the rest of my time running after her and cleaning up after her. It makes it look like I don't pay attention to my children but I don't know how in the world I'm supposed to keep up with those two!!!
I must admit though, it's much funnier looking back at the week than participating in it :)
Still love my Danna!

Mmmmmm. . .


My mom's in town and just taught me how to make the yummiest whole grain, low fat, low sugar, etc. bread EVER! (Seriously, ground the wheat myself)

It's still steaming from the oven and I'm eating it right now while the butter drips through my fingers. . .

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

my plug for. . .

Has anyone heard of FLYLADY before?

She has a fantastic and amazing website for women (or men) everywhere who need help organizing their lives in order to have a clean home. 
I know I am furthest from having a spotless house which is why I need this website so much. She has a list of baby steps to do to lead up to becoming clean again and the best part is. . . it's DOABLE!

If you haven't seen her site before it's www.flylady.com
Try it out!
I recommend you go to Beginner Baby steps or just to the Sneak Peek of the Week in the box telling you about the current Fly Zone. It'll give you a job to do once every day of the week (excluding weekends) that will help keep your home sparkling. The fly zone changes every week and it only takes you 15 minutes per day. . . really, just read over the site and you'll see how great it is yourself.

Just passing along a great housewife/mommy tip to anyone who is interested.

Looking for fun...

In all the wrong places. 

This is what I do during the day. The computer is where I find my entertainment nowadays.
(I know, it's a bad picture... but this mess has been picked up since.)

Try this out, it's pretty amazing!
