Neglected

Wow this poor neglected blog. I've been thinking for quite awhile now of posts. If only I could link the ones in my brain to blogger, it would save me so much time. I've been having fun going back and reading old posts on my blogs and I'm amazed at how much I've forgotten. It's really sad. So I've been promising myself I'm going to get back in the habit of blogging. It's mostly the time thing. Chasing after three kids, keeping up on house, errands, soccer, church, etc and then wanting time with my hubby and to relax I haven't found which thing to take time away from yet. It's a big balancing act so hopefully I can find the right balance. Isaac is 5 and just started soccer so I guess that officially makes me a soccer mom. Gracie is 3 going on 16 and makes me laugh every day. That girl keeps me on my toes. She is very much looking forward to her birthday in a few weeks. My sweet, sweet Lucie. She grounds me, she reminds me how beautiful life is and how very, very near we are to Heaven. I'm so thankful to be their mom.

New Spring Items and Free shipping

Modbe has released their new Spring items. And I'm loving the versatility of each of these pieces. The dress, which can be worn as a skirt or a dress, is great fabric and the hem is left undone for you to decide what length you want it to be. It's the perfect material that looks great dressed up and casual enough to wear over any swim suit while lounging at the pool. The board shorts are going to be my summer go to. They are light weight to beat the heat and super cute. They are a great length and fit really well. Right Now enjoy FREE shipping on orders over $35 (be sure to select it in the shipping options, it's not automatic). You can still enjoy the 10% off with the party code in the side bar of my blog.

Shoes

So I am in love with these shoes I found on a new clothing website I was browsing but *sigh* they don't have my size, of course. There are some really cute things though. I am really wanting a new summer wardrobe if summer ever decides to come.

Schedule

So I was talking to my friend Beverly yesterday and saw her calender. Crazy! I'm really bad at appointment calenders like palm and everything for the fact that I feel claustrophobic. I have a calender that I write down main appointments and stuff like that but I don't have each time blocked out. I told her I wouldn't even want to get out of bed in the morning if I had to look at that kind of calender. I decided this afternoon to play around with my palm and just see what my week would look like. Yeah lets just say I don't plan on scheduling myself like that anytime soon. Crazy! Do you schedule everything out or just main events?

Balancing

This semester for whatever reason has been so much harder for me to balance. It's weird because I'm taking less than half the credits I usually do. I don't know if it's because I'm so burned out with school and I really just feel like I should be done by now or if it's because this is my first semester back in traditional classes as opposed to online classes. Everyone I talk to talks about how hard online classes are for them and how much more time they take. That's not the case for me. I'm an independent learner. I do better sitting down and figuring things out for myself. So when I have to attend class its just wasted time because I still have to go home and do my own thing.
My problem is when I feel like I have a ton to do it's so hard for me to get anything done. Not because there is a lack of things to do (my laundry room and kitchen will amen to that) I just have a hard time trying decide where to start so I end up doing really random things. So this week my goal is to de junk and spring clean my house. Jeff and I are both sick of searching for missing things. I have stuff it's not just crap stuff but it doesn't have a home in our little house. We are in the process of cleaning out our basement so we can demo it and finish it which accounts for some of the additional stuff in our family room and dining room. So any organizational tips that are functional are greatly appreciated. I don't have a lot of room to work with.
Also seriously how do people store their stuff like baby blankets, baby clothes for future babies, and all that stuff. I go into all my friends homes and they have finished basements and none of that stuff is in sight. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that keeps that stuff or if everyone elses house has a magic hiding room for all their stuff.
