This year, her 29 Day Organizational Challenge is to "concentrate your efforts on one chaotic and cluttered room and work to transform it into an organized and peaceful space instead."

I am super excited about this because I have one area of our home that HAS to be organized...

OY! This mess of a room is going to become our baby's nursery in just a few short months! Currently it is our dumping ground, in between guests! {Yes, we actually have guests stay in this room...it is amazing what I can pile and hide!}
I know that I am actually not going to be able to completely finish this room in the 29 days {because we will not have all the furniture, linens, and clothes yet}...but I do plan on getting it as close to ready as possible!
Please, wish me luck! 

DINO-dinner

Here is a

pretty simple

DINO Muffin Tin Meal

SBJ had recently...

 

Dino-shaped nuggets

Yogurt "swamp"

Ranch and Ketchup to dip

Potatoes with cheese "rocks"

Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Oh, my SBJ wishes it would snow.

On an almost daily basis

he says something along the lines of,

"Mommy, it needs to snow."

Poor boy, 

this winter weather has been

so unusual!?

Luckily, 

last week at Creative Movement

they had a SNOW theme...

and we followed up with
a SNOW muffin tin for lunch!

Yogurt covered raisins "snowballs"

Gummy penguins

Yogurt covered star-"flake" cookies

PB&J snowflake sandwiches

Frito "snow shovel" and cheese snowballs

Sweet Dreams

On this Want it Wednesday

I am posting about something I

need...

PATIENCE,

at nap and bed time.

My SBJ has lost his mind.

He has started getting this 

crazy burst of energy

as soon as it is time to lay down...

then he refuses to settle down...

requires the Hubs or I to stay with him for

looooooooong periods of time...

takes HOURS to actually fall asleep...

It started before we moved him into

his new big boy bed

and has only gotten worse since then.

I. can. not. take. it. much. longer.

The Blues

Not the "sad" blues...

...THE BABY BOY BLUES!

A few weeks ago we found out that

we will be having another little boy!

{The cake pops are how it was revealed to us and our families!}

Healthy Body

My SBJ was watching 

a few cartoon videos on the iPad 

the other day.

Then he came to me and said,

"Mommy, can I have some fruit

so I can have a healthy body?"

My answer?

"OF COURSE!"

So I made a quick

Healthy Body Muffin Tin...

{thankfully I had a few fresh and frozen fruits}

Raspberries & Strawberries

Cuties

Mangos

Bananas

Blueberries

Graps

and a bowl of yogurt

Parents

This week,

it is easy to be THANKFUL...

I am so thankful for my parents.

They are here this week

while the hubs is out of town

and I truly would not have made it

through the last few days without them.

 

Routine

On this Wednesday, what I want is to get back in to a ROUTINE!


The holidays are over, but our life still isn't flowing like it should.
Why?
1. My SBJ turned 3 and got pneumonia.
2. I am preggers and have been battling a head cold.
3. The hubs is still recovering from his shoulder surgery.


I am so looking forward to us all being healthy and getting back into the swing of things!

3!

My sweet boy turned 3

on Friday!

We planned to take him 

to the local hot dog place for lunch,

like we did last year...

but he said he wanted to eat at home.

Here is his 

3rd Birthday Muffin Tin Lunch.

It isn't very excited because it wasn't part of the plan,

but it is what he asked for...

PB&J sandwiches,

Veggie chips,

Grapes,

Carrots with ranch

Posts

Happy New Year!

Remember me?

For today's Want it Wednesday

I have a question for 

all you fellow bloggers...

{though I use the term blogger very loosely for myself}

can I create a new blog post from my iPad?

I find I am using that more and more

and would certainly keep up 

with my posts more if

I could add from there!?

I hope each of you had a 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

and that 

2012 is off to a MARVELOUS start!
