I am still here

So with the move and starting a cleaning business I have been very busy to say the least. Also I have had trouble with thinking of things to blog about. I wish I could just think it and poof it would appear here. 

I no longer babysit my nephew, it was sad to see him move on to a bigger daycare but it was the right thing for both of us, he needs to grow with other kids and I needed to move on to bigger better things too. 

So far what I hate about living out in the country are the flies and the internet. The flies are bad right now for everyone I guess so that will go away, the internet on the other hand sucks big time we have satellite, a step up from dial up, I will take this as a big lesson in patience. My sister and I are working together for another craft fair next month so we have been busy bees making things. I am hoping to post pictures later this week. 

Well I just wanted to check in and say I am still here.


Whats for dinner?
To be honest I dont know I made a huge dinner last night to only have 4 of us eat it and the power was off for a couple of hours today so that threw off my plans for slow baked chicken. Oh well we will survive. 

Book Review of The Help

I must tell you all about this book I read, to many of you it will look familiar.

What most of you need to know about me is I don't like reading very much. When I was in the second grade I was diagnosed with dyslexia. After many years of extra help and going to summer school every year, I just never had a want to read for pleasure. I almost hated reading and sometimes as a grown woman I still have problems when people ask me to read them numbers or a few lines from something. The last time I read a book from beginning to end was years ago. Don't get me wrong now I always read articles, blogs and craft books, just not any novels.
 Then this book came along. It took me a week to finish, in between taking care of the kids and sewing, I made little bits of time everyday. I felt like I was watching a movie and I kept getting interrupted. This is a great one to pick up and share with all your friends. I enjoyed that the author did not feel the need to describe every leaf on a tree or the texture of the fabric on the couch. It was simple and to the point. I almost cried a couple of times and laughed plenty of times. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and maybe finding another book to read soon.


Whats for dinner? We are having Taco Salad.

POST POST POST

      POST

I see this word in my sleep weather I want to or not. I read an article a month ago about having a successful Etsy shop, one key thing is to post an item everyday. I struggled with this for a little while, when would I have the time to, how will my nephew I babysit everyday let me???? I liked posting all at one time.

I can do this!!! So I made a schedule for myself 

5:30- get up and ready make lunches

6:30- get kids up and ready for school

After walking kids to school come back and clean the house with the baby until he naps.

9:00- Blog, Etsy, social sites, pictures, research, ETC….

When baby wakes up lunch time

1:30- pick up Giana

3:00- all kids home

And pretty much the rest of my day is dedicated to them and making a meal that tastes fabulous.

So last week was the first week of this schedule and it worked fantastic. I got to post everyday shop sales were great and I actually made a couple good dinners.

Have a great Monday all!!
