1) Since the first of the year I have implemented a new way of cleaning my house and it is going very well. As some of you may know, I am kind of a neat freak and I absolutely can't stand clutter! So I am good at keeping the house picked up, but I was struggling on how to keep it clean. Thanks to my friend Amber I am now using a program called Motivated Moms. It has revolutionized the way I take care of my home and I don't feel overwhelmed with housework. I highly recommend you check it out if this is any area where you are struggling.
2) We had a belated Christmas celebration with my sister-in-law Stephanie and my nieces, Hailey & Ali, last weekend. They live in Phoenix and were not able to be here over the holidays, so my Mom left her tree up and we exchanged gifts on Saturday. Here are some shots of Audrey and Nathan with their cousins.
3) Last week we returned to school, as well as all of our activities, which include: Awana, BSF, and Co-op. Although the kids were glad to be back, they were wiped out by the end of the week, and so was I!! It didn't help that we have all been fighting colds for the last couple weeks. The kids are pretty much better now and Bob & I should be soon. :)
I hope you enjoyed my little update. Have a great week and God bless!

Not that I wasn't enjoying Audrey's toothless grin ; ) but I sure am glad to hear from you! How great is that having Christmas again in January??
Glad you all are getting over the ickies!
I really need to check out Motivated Moms. (We could really use it around here!) :-(

I could definitely use some Motivated Mom's help around here too.
I used FlyLady before all of my back nonsense started, and it was very helpful!
I am SO ready to be back to normal! I have this week and next week in bed...and then, God willing, I will be "flying" again.;)
Christmas in January must have been a lot of fun for your kids!
We returned to our school last week too. It's overwhelming at first, but it's nice to get back on schedule too.
I hope that you and Bob are all better soon!
Have a blessed day!

I am heading over to Motivated moms too! I need some motivation...
Love the pictures of all those cuties! Sounds like things are getting back to normal at your house. Getting back into a routine after the holidays is always a challenge for me.
Thanks for the link, Gina!
I have started MM too the past two weeks :) I love how I can check & go! I also like how everything actually gets done. I am one of *those* that it really bugs to not have completed a task for the day :/ I am such NOT a motivated mom when it comes to cleaning. I love my house clean, but not doing it LOL!
I hope you guys all get to feeling better soon :)
God Bless
Hi Gina. I've been away from blogland a while and am just getting caught up again. Just wanted to stop by and say Hi.
