Wordless Wednesday!!!

Num!!! Eating Cheerios as a snack!!!

Lost Camera Cord!!!

Well, the entry way is clean and I have pictures to show you all the progress, but I have lost my camera cord to get the photos off of my camera onto my computer! So once I find that I will post pictures of the entry way. It looks super nice and it is so nice to come home to a clean space greeting me!

This past weekend we went to the 101 market to get Nora her first pumpkin. They had lots of activities for older kids to participate in (tractor pull, duck races, jumping pit, corn pit and many more). We particpated in the little zoo they had. The animals were your standard small zoo animals (llamas, pig, bunny). They also had a monkey and some lizards. We also did the corn maze. Nora fell asleep while we were in the maze, but Steve and I had fun find the point we had to find in order to enter a contest they were having to win $500.00 worth of merchandise from the 101 market. We also got some great pictures which I will have to post later since I have lost my camera cord!

Challenge!!

So last night I was looking at some other blogs and decided to challenge myself. The blogs that I were looking at had tasks that were to be done each day to keep your house clean. Just little things like make the bed, take out the garbage ect. Each week you add a new small task to do daily. So by the end of the month all the little tasks will add up to keeping your house a cleaner space to live. Also each week there will be a Tackle it Tuesday. This means that on Tuesday I will tackle an area to organize and purge. I am looking forward to this!!! I have been motivated to clean ever since I have started using Norwex cleaning products! My cousin's wife started to sell the product and got me into them. They are a green line of microfiber cleaning items...there are very few chemicals which is awesome because I do not want Nora inhaling the chemicals that are used with normal cleaning products. So off to cleaning I go! Please feel free to join me and post pictures of your before and afters!! So the first thing that I am going to have to tackle each day is....

Accomplish Daily:

Make the bed

Take out the trash

Tackle Tuesday:

Entry way and the closet

I will be taking pictures of the entry way later and will post them as I accomplish these goals...

Ready, Set, Clean...

Things that babies get called

Everyone gives their child nicknames. It starts at birth and then the names continue to grow and change throughout the child's life. When I was little my nickname from my dad was pumpkin and munchkin. He still calls me munchkin sometimes to this day. In high school I as known as pickle (due to my last name) and Lil V (again for my last name and my older brother). Now that I am in my adulthood I am known just at Stacey. My husbands nickname now is scuba steve. It was funny because for the longest time Steve did not scuba dive...a couple of years ago he decided to get certified and he is now officially scuba steve.

For my daughter we call her Nolar Bear and Bug-a-Boo. For short we sometimes call her bear (she is going to love that when she is older). It will be interesting to see how her nicknames will evolve over time. What will her friends call her??

Well this brings me to what random people call your child. Steve and I were at the airport with our daughter getting some breakfast before we had to board our plane. So we order our Egg McMuffins and the McDonalds worker precides to tell us that "the force is strong with that one." I didn't get it at first so I just looked and was like ahhh yeah thanks! Steve totally understood it and said thanks to be nice. The worker then proceeds to say "if only Yoda had that much force. She is like a Yoda here on earth." He started talking to her and calling her Yoda. When we left he said bye to "Yoda". It was interesting at first I was like my child does not look like Yoda. I was slightly mad that he made that comparision with my daughter. But Steve made me realize that coming from him (a Star Wars fanatic), it was probably a compliment. To this day we still laugh when we think about it.

So what do you call your babies? Has anyone given them an odd nickname??

First Post!!!

Hello hello hello! This is officially my first blog post. Ahhh!!! I decided to give bloggin a try because I read a lot of my Jan. Momma's blogs and they have inspired me to do my own. Bare with me as I learn the ins and outs of the blogging world and as I determine what exactly I am going to be blogging about.

I am a new mom (well 9 months new :)). I stay at home with my daughter and love every minute of it. My husband is going to school and I am so proud of him to be following his dreams. I love to cook and try new recipies....I love appetizers!! I love to scrapbook and do other crafts. My friends and family are so important to me! I am thinking this will be a blog about my life and the ups and downs that are a part of being human...I may also do recipies and other craft ideas that I am working on.

So that is a little about me and what I am thinking about writing about. Enjoy and welcome!!!
