As if I didn't have enough on my plate I already I am adding one more thing to my bag of tricks.
I am starting up a new blog/crafting buisness.
I have been reading so many "Mommy Blogs" lately I thought, Hey I can do that!
My idea is this:
I write and caft about what I read in books, blogs, magazines, or the back of the cereal box. Whatever I want pretty much!
I love reading books and I am often inspired by them and I love creating new things.
I am nervous about starting. The first step is always the hardest.
I am really excited about all of the ideas I have for this blog/buisness and although right now I don't have a lot of content, I hope that I can count on all of my readers here for support.
You can follow me by going to any of the following links:

Thank you for your support on my journey!

New Game!
Mornings have never been so much fun at our house!
Landon invented a new game to play when we wake him up in the morning.
You can play this fun game too. All you need are the following supplies:
1. One Toddler - who can walk and/or run in his/her crib
2. A Crib
3. Stuffed animal - any toy will do but I recommend something soft in case you get in the line of fire.
4. Sleepy parent
How to play:
Toddler stands in crib and throws whatever is inside said crib at sleepy parent.
Toddler then has to run or walk around the perimeter of crib until the parent retrieves the toy and hands it back to them. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
Rules:
There is only one rule! When the toy is being thrown the toddler must roar like a dinosaur.
The game is over when the sleepy parent either [a] gets hit in the head or [b] sleepy parent decides it is time for some coffee.
I hope you have as much fun playing this game as we do!
Happy Monday!

Park Pictures
As promised here are my favorite photos from our park excursion on Sunday. I took 119 photos - I know, I am insane. I couldn't help myself. I had to play around with all different settings on my camera. I think we got a lot of good ones of him playing. I love how clear outside photos are.
I did want to point out that there was another little boy at the park that day. He was probably around 3 and he was showing Landon what "big kids" did at the park. He was really cute. His name was Landon too, what are the odds? He must have been so confused when I kept on saying his name.

MARCH-ing On!
I am really pumped to start a new month!
In my opinion, every week and even every day is a fresh start.
If you had a bad day, you get to go to bed and wake up the next morning refreshed and hopefully things will go better.
If you had a bad week, you recover over the weekend and on Monday you can try it all over again and hope for better results.
But the first of the Month, well it's a whole new ball game! You have 30 days to accomplish your goals! 30 days to do try something new. The first day of the month is a clean slate {and payday - so even sweeter} for you begin again.
What are your goals for this month?
Here are a few of mine:
{1} I have been teetering on my dieting. Point blank - I have been AWFUL! I haven't gone to the gym for the last two weeks and chocolate has been my best friend. Today I start yet AGAIN. I want to drop 8 pounds by the end of the month. It is only 2 pounds a week so TOTALLY doable.
I have roughly 20 pounds to go to get to my goal weight. IF I get my act together I will make my goal in time for the beach.
{2} Get a system down for keeping the house clean. OMG - I go through this every month, week, hour, minute! It is the perpetual Monkey on my back. Who brings all of this stuff into our house? I swear there are little leprechauns that come to my house in the middle of the night and drop off Target bags full of crap. I wake up in the morning and there is stuff everywhere! Why do they do this to me?
But, seriously, any tips on keeping up with the cleaning? I have "tried" {I use this term loosely} cleaning a little every day, doing 1 room a day, doing EVERYTHING on Saturday or Sunday, but nothing seems to stick.
I have even created an index card system that has all the chores on an index card and when it is complete you move it to the next day.
I honestly think the only way to keep your house clean is to stuff everything into a closet and hope no one EVER opens it.
{3} Coupon More!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE me a good bargain!
My goal this month is to keep up with my coupon cutting and coupon blogs better. I am always a day late to the super savers party and it drives me crazy! I actually get a cringe of jealousy when I hear about these women who got hundreds of dollars of groceries for next to nothing! I want to be her!
We use coupons regularly in our house but I want to be on TOP of the sale. I want to know about the sale before the store even knows they are having the sale, buy extra coupons in advance, stalk the grocery store to make sure they have it in stock, and buy every last available item. I want to be that GOOD.
The way I see it, our grocery money is really the only place where we have control over saving money. If you know of any great websites to check out or having any tips for me please e-mail me! I want to know everything I can!
Wish me luck! I will keep you posted throughout the month. I can totally do this!
Hoping you all have a VERY ELECTRIFYING MARCH!!
