Letter Of the Week

This Week the letter Of the Week was the letter "c" and the theme was fall leaves because She is so amazed At how the leaves are orange, yellow and red.

she glued the paper cookies i made on to the letter C and then we made chocolate chip cookies!

We went on a nature walk and she found a bunch of leaves that had changed colors and fallen. We talked about fall and how the leaves turn colors and fall off the trees to make room for the new leave that will grow in the spring, then she glued the leaves on a piece of paper and I added the tree trunk. 

I drew an uppercase letter C and a lowercase letter c and then let her glue cotton balls on. We talked about how cotton stats with the letter c and the sound that it makes.

Her  in action with the glue, which right now is her favorite thing to do

This is a pintrest idea that i found, I let her trace the letters and pictures with water and a paint brush. She also had to tell me the letter and the sounds that they make.

Girl where have You been?

I know its been a while and to be honest with you I gave up on blogging.. I mean quiet, alone time in this house is very rare and I didnt really see a point in using it to sit down and blog when there are tons of other more "productive " things i should be doing . Until my husband reminded me that writing is a gift of mine and something that i love to do and by blogging i get to write and improve on my skills and not to mention it makes me happy .. so im back at it :)

Update ; Mimi is 27 months old and is thriving in everything from learning ABC and 123s to learning to share and love people,but we are working really hard on discipline methods and potty training is coming soon..again (looking forward to it, but not looking forward to it)

Big Boy is is 9 months old and is so much fun! He loves to laugh, smile, dance and clap his little hands. I can honestly say that this little boy truly has my heart <3

As for me, being a SAHM of two definitely has had its ups and downs. There have been days I have wanted to throw in the rag and call it quits, but  that's pretty much impossible,  and there are days where all i want to do is hangout around the house with my babies. I am still learning and am happy to know i always will be. All in all life around here has been quit an adventure with still a long journey ahead!

And you will reap what you sow

I know it has been FOREVER since iv written a blog i have been super busy with our new addition and chasing Mimi around the house, that blogging hasn't even been in my vocabulary. Well to update you a little bit our princess is now 22 months old and  will be 2 in July and Big boy is 12 weeks! Time is going by so fast and i am just trying to take everything in. Lately i have constantly been reminded of how blessed i am  to be able to be a stay at home mom with a husband who sees the importance of it, just as much if not more, then i do. It doesn't matter the circumstances my husband does what ever it takes for me to get to be the one raising, teaching, nurturing and influencing our children. These last couple of weeks i have kinda been taking staying at home with my kids for granted im not gonna lie its hard and there are times when i say to myself what am i doing putting my dreams on hold? i mean im young i could be out working or going to school and put the kids in day care or just give then to Grama.. But then i just couldn't imagine it, someone else getting to see my daughter go potty on the toilet for the first time? or someone else getting to teach her shapes and colors? or Someone else getting to see my son smile and laugh for the first time. O no i couldn't have that. The Lord has been showing me that all this hard work is paying off and its not in vain! Staying home with my children teaching them, being their main influence, teaching them about God , loving and nurturing them  and praying over them. Sowing into their lives and hearts not only will i reap but they will reap and their children will reap and their children's children will reap. What i am sowing now generations will reap!! I have been encouraged Iam anointed for motherhood and its a high calling.

How a lazy mamma gets motivated

I don't know about y'all but i am lazy... especially when it comes to getting out of bed and getting the day started and with being prego i am 10x more lazy, i mean i could stay in bed all day,  But with a busy 18 month old that's pretty much impossible. I thought i would jot down some of the things that iv learned from other mommies and what has been working for me to get me up, ready and motivated for my unpredictable day

• First things first i start my day with a cup of tea or coffee its been tea lately i look foward to this warm goodness every morning 
• Shower and get dressed i know that's kinda like duh but this is the hardest thing for me i have to make myself do this  i could stay in my PJ's all day long and not have any problems with it( why waste a cute outfit on paint stains and poopy diapers) , but iv noticed i get so much more done when i shower, get dressed and put on a little make up annnd i feel better too
• Eat a nice healthy breakfast this gives me strength and energy
• Turn on the web stream or some up beat music and get your praise and worship on
• Have a "to do list" made  of things you want to get done for the day and mark them off as you get them done
• Ask the lord for grace and speak life over your day Ex. "Today is gonna be a good day I know the lord has something special planned"
• Take a morning walk and get some fresh air
• Go to bed early your gonna need that sleep
