Homemaker Dreams

Hey everyone!
This Christmas season has rapidly approached!!!
I can't believe it!
When younger I always thought of how I would like to do certain things when I "grew up."
Becoming a wife and a mom are some of the best jobs I could have been "hired" into, and I will never resign from them!
So, when I became part of these clubs I always imagined this season to be full of special details that I would incorporate into our family, and will become a tradition.
Putting up our tree and singing carols, then watching a Christmas movie, while drinking hot chocolate and eating some popcorn by the beautifully lit tree is on "my tradition" list.
Of course this is possible! But in this household it never really turns out that way.
We roll out of bed, notice that there's no room for a tree. So cleaning and "hiding things until the New Year or until we get our act together" begins.  Then there's lunch, and we have to incorporate playtime, and making sure the kiddies don't touch any ornaments yet until the tree is up.  Also, as a wanderer my mind then picks up the idea that we should clean up everything at ONCE!  So as the hubs is making room for a tree, I enter the bathroom and strip the curtains, remove all bottles of shampoos, conditioners and lotions. Then I start scrubbing away.
By the time I'm done with the shower walls and tub, I'm gasping for air from all the fumes I just sprayed the bathroom with.
Tree is Up!
Lights are on!!
Cue the MUSIC!
Little D and Baby Joy get ready...They fell asleep...
Ok, so I got dinner ready, finally trimmed the tree, hubs is watching a game, while we played a board game.

Not Exactly how I imagined it...
But Little D enjoyed every bit of placing the ornaments on the tree(even if she did place them all in one section).
Baby Joy gleefully watching us, and the hubs trying to explain to Little D not to move everyone else' game piece, was right out perfect.
Not how I imagined it like in the Christmas movies, but it was perfect for us!

Let's not get so overwhelmed by the minor things that don't turn out how we expect them to. But be grateful for what you have and who you have!
Merry Christmas!

The Lone Buyer!

Ok, I must admit...
I am one of THEM!  I can't help it but it's just so appealing to me in each and every way.
In my Pj's or not, home alone or even on my phone I can't seem to remove myself from this luxury.
I'd rather be to myself, not worry about waiting forever behind someone who doesn't have their things in order.
I Love to just take my sweet old time Pa-rousing through the cyber aisles of "goodies."
Not having to take escalators, trains or look for parking in the fierce world of a Shopping Mall is just the cherry on top!
I am the...ONLINE SHOPPER!

I know there are many of you out there that are just like me! So, I don't feel too bad. It's just a convenience that is one of the best things the internet has to offer. Yes I do understand it does remove us from being social with one another, and sometimes you may get better deals going to the stores.  But who can go shopping on Black Friday and not have to worry about getting mauled by a mob?...(This girl right Here!!)
Yes there are some cons, which funny enough I was just talking to a friend about.

Discrepancies are just awful! Double click at the wrong moment, and you're getting charged double and getting double the Stuff.  So if you're not in love with the things you ordered the first time, or not a cartoon who always seems to be wearing the exact same thing everyday, you won't be happy.
We can't keep the items there so we either have to ship them back, or worse...Go Return them to the Store yourself! Totally defeats the purpose of shopping in pj's!!!

But one thing my friend and I come to realize is that AMAZON is pretty AMAZING!
From clothes to a garden hose, chocolate to kitty litter etc. It's all there!
I give them a thumbs up! I have many friends that can agree to that too!

Check it out! A One Stop SHOP for Hanukkah, Christmas, Birthdays and for things you may need.  They offer deals that are practically STEALS!

Getting in the swing!

Ok... with a toddler and a newborn things have been very fast paced.  I can't believe Thanksgiving came and went, now Christmas is HERE! well almost.
This Thanksgiving my Husband, the girls and I went to share a lovely meal with some of his family.  They are a great bunch!
 Note: I am not just saying that in the event that they might one day come across this Blog. ILULugos
However, since were a good distance from home, we had decided to spend the night.  I can only tell you that packing for one night for a toddler, a newborn and my husband and I was a NIGHT... (wait for it) MARE!
The things I had to think of just to make sure we would make it through 24 hrs.!  Plan for soiled clothes, extra diapers, if baby Joy caught a fever I had to carry baby tylenol, and an aspirator if she got the sniffles, proper snacks for toddler D and activities to keep her entertained...
24 HOURS!!!
I guess I'm going to have to pack a month in advance whenever we plan a family vacation!

But none the less, everything went well!
Life of a mom is GREAT. You know what else is great? A baby swing!  Baby Joy was a little fussy so I fed her and popped her into that wonderful contraption, turned it on and VOILA! (French for TADAAA! LOL it really means "there it is!") Sound ASLEEP

So instead of sleeping I'm getting in the swing of working on and managing this BLOG.
I'm really hopeful that it will be a help to all mothers, not yet mothers and everyone in between.
We all need, well at least I know I need a place where I can find deals, and great quality products on a budget, and feel connected and not ALONE in this crazy fast world of being a wife and a stay at home Mom.

I want to do my best in finding as many savvy savings as i can, and would like to update them pretty often.  But as a human I am not perfect or on a timer.  So, if you are looking for some deals on a certain product, or have any ideas in making this site more efficient, let me KNOW! Being that I would be helping you in something, by you reading my Blog and going through the posted links and actually purchasing any items through them would be a MAJOR help to me!  If there are any kinks that I have to work out regarding links, or as aforementioned ideas; just leave me a comment in my posts section.
 I appreciate it just as much as I appreciate you!
Thanks,
Being a mom is DJOY of Life

She's here!

Finally my little itty bitty, Ms. Joy has arrived!  She has been nothing but an amazing addition to my family as well as a fulfillment to her name sake, pure Joy!
Beautiful in every way she has made everyone a lot happier!  My toddler has bloomed into a wonderful Big Sister (Momma #2, as I see it).
So now our lives need a little adjusting like preparing everything 2 hours ahead of time to maybe even get to where we need to be ten minutes late.
But taking everything moment by moment and cherishing each situation crazy, stressful, joyful or just exhausting is key.
As everything slowly gets situated and I get into the groove of things, my launching of this Blog and its offers will be available to the world. I'm praying that this does exceedingly well!
Be back soon!

I've been on Hiatus

Sorry everyone! I haven't been around lately, as I have been awaiting and STILL AM  for the arrival of my itty bitty(4 days Over Done).

So while waiting I have totally been on a nesting and resting regimen especially with a very active toddler on my hands too.

I hope to launch this blog as soon as everything settles down.  But for now I can explain to you what I intend on this site becoming and being.

Hope you Read on!
