Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Welcome to the Sunday Edition of Week in the Life 2013! Last day! Although I've been liking this project, I've also been wanting it to end. It's always a tug of war game within me. Anyways, for today, it was pretty relaxed. Spent most of the day at work again. got to nap for an hour, had Dairy Queen for dessert after supper and spent some time as a family, including family tickle fights and Keith teaching Violet how to tickle my feet. Here's a look at Sunday: Purse all ready for work My view of our bedroom when I woke up from my nap. Me and Violet chilling together. Daddy tickles. Teaching Violet how to tickle my feet. She ate half of a kid's sized sundae! My Mint Oreo Blizzard Keith's banana split Always with the never-ending dishes Watching the neighbor cat try to pounce on a bird Shower time Thanks for joining me in this!

Welcome to Saturday's Week in the Life 2013! Almost done. Almost done. At least that's what I keep telling myself. The number of photos are always down for the weekend. It doesn't help that I'm at work until 2pm and that Keith doesn't really take photos. Oh well. That's life. Today was a busy day as just after I was done work, I had to rush home, quickly shower and change, wake up Violet (who only had been sleeping for 1 hour), get her dressed and ready to go as me and Violet were going with my sister Sam to the city to help Sam pick up some stuff. Here's a look at Saturday's photos: Face-time with Keith and Violet Oh so healthy snack at work. I think Sam has an addiction of horse bumper stickers...... Keith sent me this photo of the food he made for himself. Drooling of MacBook Airs Our supper of Chinese Violet helping Aunt Sam shop Having some Daddy play-time Keith made baked potatoes after Violet went to bed for himself. I'm not a big fan of them.

Welcome to the Friday edition of Week in the Life 2013. Today was a bit low on the picture taking. I was either forgetting to grab my camera to capture stuff or sometimes thought of it, but decided to leave it be. Although I will admit that sometimes as a SAHM, most days get repetitive in one way or another. The dishes are never done, the floor is always being cleaned, finding ways to communicate with the 2-year-old so that she knows what I want in a way that will make her realize that she has to listen to me (oh yes, we're there), potty training; spending time with Hubby and doing stuff for myself. It's slightly repetitive, but I also know that the next day is a new day full of new challenges. And I embrace that. I also hate to admit it, but I kind of like working out of the house on the weekends. It means that Keith and Violet get one-on-one time together that they rarely get during the week. Anyways.... here are some of the photos from Friday. This microwave used to belong t

Welcome to Week in the Life for Thursday! Today I didn't take a whole lot of pictures. But that's how life is sometimes. I'm still exhausted everyday, but that's what I get for being pregnant an running around after an almost 2-year-old.  I took about 20-some photos today, but here are my favourites. Today’s write-up for Week in the Life: 4:00am - Keith up to go to the gym; last minute snuggles before he leaves 7:00am - Alarm goes off; ignore until 7:30; check Instagram and e-mails while in bed; Violet gets out of bed when I check on her; get breakfast ready of Apple Cinnamon Cheerio’s and bananas 8:00am - Face-time with Keith; finally get Violet out of her diaper (lazy Mommy there. Oops); Violet pees her panties not 5 minutes after going on the potty; And peed another pair 15 minutes after that, I was not impressed; Finally got her to stay dry for a bit 9:00am - Play time for Violet while I upload photos from yesterday ; Violet pee on potty (and very proud of herse

Welcome to Week in the Life 2013 - Wednesday edition! Today was an OK day. Not the greatest, not the worst. Although cooking and eating scrambled eggs this morning has not agreed with me at all. Seriously. All I want is to be able to eat food without feeling like I'm going to lose it! My nephew Payton came down for the day today as Brody was in school and Natalie had broken a couple ribs over the weekend (something about taking a flying lesson off her horse when he saw goats that spooked him) and picking him up was just hurting her too much. I said sure as Violet absolutely loves him and it's good practice for her when her sibling arrives. It was a day that was a bit out of order, but yet I still had some energy to do some stuff around the house. Here's a look at some of my favorites:  Went into her room as I heard her waking up and she was already reading The Grinch to herself. These scrambled eggs with meat did not agree with me cooking or eating. Blah. Sometimes morning
