Welcome

Desprately in need of a hobby that doesn't involve craft glue, sewing, or excessive trips to Michelles (seriously not my thing), i decided to start my very own blog. What a blog is or suppossed to be i haven't the foggiest. I'm am a first time mother and a newly wed. My daughter being a year old now and with her own agenda that has left me with less to do during the day. Like most husbands mine works during the day, he is in the United States Navy, and will be gone alot. One thing that helps us Navy wives get though the sometimes long underways, is keeping busy. I plan to have some adventures and do some personal growth while my dh is gone. I will be blogging about it all, for your enjoyment. ♥ femme au foyer

où dans le monde est abbigale ♥

  My husband and i came up with an idea for this summer. we plan to go to different areas around Washington and take pictures of our daughter next to landmarks and leave clues of her where abouts. our cousins torri and lizzie will be the ones trying to guess where she is. if they guess right we'll be sending them a prize!! i thought it would be a fun way to keep in touch & get to know the girls. :D

mouche bebe ♥

     For Christmas my in-mom (mom in law) made me this wonderful binder that guarantees to help me get organized and gain control over my house work and life. The contents of this journal are made by http. this program, or way of life would be more appropriate, promises to give you peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment. hello, that's what I'm going for here! let me share this with you.://www.flylady.com

FLY LADY'S ELEVEN COMMANDMENTS

1.keep your sink clean and shiny
2. get dressed every morning, down to shoes, even if you don't feel like it, it will make you feel better.
3. do your morning and before bed routines everyday!
4. don't allow yourself to be sidetracked by your computer,
5, pick up after yourself. if you get it out put it away as soon as your done.
6. don't try to do two projects at once. ONE JOB AT A TIME.
7. don't pull out more than you can put away in an hour.
8. do something for yourself every day, maybe every morning and night.
9. work as fast as you can to get the job done, this will give you more time for play later.
10. smile even when you don't feel like it. it is contagious, make your mind up to be happy and you will.
11. don't forget to laugh everyday. pamper yourself, you deserve it.

   there are also menus for meals, shopping lists, clutter free tips, routines, and the baby steps program that get you slowly into the swing of things. apparently it take 28 days to form a habit. just after two days of this I've got the house looking really good I'm caught up on all my back work, and i feel better being dressed than i did mopping around in my PJ's all day. ahhh, accomplishments. its really just the cutest program and really helps. so if your busy and need a routine, sort on time and cant catch up, or have a room in your house that you don't want company to see. check out fly lady! i love it. oh, and fly stands for Finally Loving Yourself. how cute is that? this lady is a genius! there's missions that they send you. like 27 pick up. it tells you to go through your house and pick 27 things to throw away, and as soon as you got 27 in the bag toss it out, don't even look at it. no rescues! then it goes on to having you pick 27 things to donate to goodwill, ect. this cuts down on clutter and you will feel better having donated something.

   I'm already on the way with my goal of being a better wife & mommy. thanks mom for the wonderful gift! i adore it.
