De-Motivational Cleaning
Paci
This has to be the most shocking seeing as how none of my kids have ever taken a pacifier.
Who snuck in my house with a pacifier?
Sippy
That's right! Sippy!
I never said sippy cup because that would be implying that I ACTUALLY know WHERE the cup is!
Socks
I have 2 of these
FULL OF THESE
WHICH MAKES ME WANT TO UPGRADE.....
TO THIS !
I have checked every square inch of my dryer and there is no trap door anywhere to be seen where tiny people are dropping in to steal our socks.
The MisMatched sock trend had to have been by an OCD parent that finally gave up!
Bows
Hair Bow would also imply that these bad boys ever make it to their hair.
Stroller
My storage / organizing enemy
No matter where this thing is it always seems to be in my way, and I have even went as far as to hang it on a large hook in our storage room. Storage room idea backfired since I am too short to get it down by myself.
Sunday
We Would Not Be Surviving Winter........
........Without these great items that I made sure I stocked up on before it got cold.
With a big family, freezing temperatures, busy school days and of course being the elected one to always have to be on time, I am showing my list of must haves!

| Used for more than just kid noses |
 |
| I bought blankets that were specific for them to take in the car Easier to keep track of |
 |
| Lifesaver when you want to stay occupied but also cuddle with blanket |
 |
| And for when you need to warm up |
 |
| Keurig Cocoa - I will never admit how many boxes we have went through on here |
 |
| Putting snack and craft together makes a cold day great |
 |
| Crafts! Scour search engines for great winter crafts |
 |
| Lots of Crafts! |
 |
| We would make these everyday |
 |
| Journal Writing |
I know that Journal writing it not as common anymore, but I just love the idea of it. Of course my younger two children can't form whole words yet but I encourage my 3 year old to draw a picture of her favorite thing she did that day and to write down ideas of things she would like to do in the next coming days. I myself will draw a small picture or write a little note in their books just so they know that I am thinking about them. My eldest daughter finds my little notes that I have written in hers and loves to come show me what she has written back.

| Family "Gotta Have" |
I honestly dont know what I would do without this exact calendar. It has big sections to write in and stickers to easily mark events. The stickers are the best part. We have girl scouts every thursday (except on off school days) so I put all of the green flower "activity" stickers on the thursday section of the calendar. It is so much easier than going through and writing it down for every day. The stickers are also brighter than the calendar pages so it is easy to see the special days for an activity.
I also purposely went through and wrote down things to do just to get us out of the house on cold days.
Before winter is over I may very well have more that I just could not have lived without!
Saturday
Where do I start?
New Blog with a new tune!
I had some time the other day while I was at home and kids were napping to go through and read some random articles and catch up on my mommy news. I remember glancing over an article about how 47% of SAHMies have a blog, 72% have a FB page and 94% say that that could not live without internet in their homes. That is crazy! Up until about 3 months ago I could not have cared less if our internet was non working or if one or both of our laptops were broke. But then, I had a chat with my eldest daughters teacher. She said that just by being around Hannah, she could tell that she was not as computer efficient as other students. I love playing old fashion board games, coloring ACTUAL pages and playing hide and go seek outside with actual people instead of hide and go seek the webpage tab. By turning off the electronics and spending one on one time with each and every kid instead of telling them to just go watch a movie I am actually hindering my kids. I seriously have considered converting to the Amish, but I know all 4 of my kids would be going through withdraws as soon as the NASCAR season rolls back around. Oh, and Happy January Everyone.
