ADD Filled Stress-Induced Ranting...

I have decided it's time for me to figure out how to be a grown up. Just a little bit. Not too much.

I now have 3 children.

My house is officially the messiest it has ever been and I'm not a neat freak, I'm ok with a little mess. However, it's now out of control.

I found myself at Wal-Mart yesterday wearing dirty running shoes, scrub pants, my dad's oversized t-shirt with spit up down the front, hair falling all over the place, a crying baby and 2 boys climbing on anything that was taller than 6 inches. (But let's face it, I was at Wal-Mart so I wasn't too far from blending right in)

I absolutely love my job but am too exhausted to be productive when I'm there.

I am trying to get back in shape after having #3 by sitting on the couch beside the pile of toys eating popcorn. (It's not working) I actually put on workout clothes today after work, we will see if I make it out the door.

and did I mention I turn 30 next month... I would like to have it a little more together than I do now by 30. I know no one has it all together and I may never have it all together and that is totally fine, just need it to be a little more than it is now.

I like things neat, including my house and appearance. Perfect is not necessary and a little chaos is ok, however, I can't figure out how to make the chaos simmer down. I'd even be ok with organized chaos. I have a lot of organizational tips and tricks that help me get my mind straight and prioritize what needs to be done and keep the adult ADD in check but they're not exactly being utilized right now. There's not a clean spot on the bar to put the list :) 

I have been following a few blogs that I can't go a day without reading, they are precious and inspirational for me. I want to be able to write here daily like those cool ladies do. However I do know that they generate income from their blogs, some of them it is their job, to maintain their blog, have sponsors, and hundreds/thousands of readers.

I love this little blog it is an amazing outlet where I can be myself and it can be all mine. I can talk about my workouts, trying to learn how to cook, decorating my house, fun projects I've tried, the 3 most adorable kids and hottest husband ever. It's a super cool online journal that won't get lost in my messy house. My messy house that I'm ignoring right now because I don't even know where to start :) 

But I keep thinking about those other blogs, the big ones, that have people asking them advise or to post tutorials, wanting to know more about the author. I would love to have that... I am planning on giving this little blog an overhaul to look a little more professional for all 6 of my followers (I love all 6 of you! xo)

Maybe I'll start with a name that doesn't have the phrase 'up your nose' in it...

I am thrilled to say that I can finally work on my blog from the comfort of my IPad while sitting on my butt! I'm pretty pumped!
As you probably already know I am expecting a baby girl in April! We are so excited and I am consumed with planning the nursery, super cute outfits and wanting everything to be absolutely perfect.
With that said, my job that I love is a little extra stressful this year and would suck every ounce of energy out of me whether I was pregnant or not. BUT I have some fun projects that I want to share so I am going to do my bestest to keep this baby updated. If I don't, I need you to bug me about it!
I'm adding a couple of pictures from some of my inspirations...

Just FYI this is the first post from my IPad on this app so I have no idea how its going to publish!

Family Pics

We were lucky enough to win a photo session with Kensie Lee Yarbrough! I absolutely love her! 

She is unbelievably talented and loves what she does. 

I had a whole board on Pinterest for family picture ideas and she had the whole thing printed off when she came to our session and totally listened to my ideas and had her own awesome ideas to incorporate. 

I cannot recommend her enough!

She also did gorgeous maternity and newborn pictures for my sister-in-law... visit her website and use her!

This is my absolute favorite! The boys expressions couldn't have been any better!

Fear

First of all I need to apologize because I have no idea how to blur out this woman's name. 

I stumbled across this board on Pinterest yesterday and it broke my heart.

I just wanted to share it because it makes me sad that someone would live with such negativity and fear in their life. 

Now I realize that I have no idea what her story and situation is but further down on the board most of the comments on the amazing pictures had something to do with 'too scary'. 

I'm going to assume the best and say that she pinned these things so that she can prove herself wrong and turn it into a bucket list.

I Miss You!

I miss finding fun things to do to post but my time is crunched :( 

In an effort to make a little extra money I decided to try to restock my Etsy shop so I thought I would share.

I would absolutely love to have my own store someday, and not just the sad little Etsy one that has no customers. I made up a name for it... Bizantily! It is not a real word but it makes me smile whenever I say it.

So until I have a real one I have this little Bizantily one... please feel free to give any suggestions or comments on how it can be improved!

Thanks gals and here's my link...

Bizantily

Cloudcroft, New Mexico (I love you so)

 We got to go to Cloudcroft and stay with some friends for a few days and had a blast! It was so relaxing I didn't know what to do with myself and the boys were in heaven. Well we all were in heaven, we even briefly looked for jobs and houses for sale :).

We went for walks...

We saw bears... 

More walks...

This is my favorite picture, I'm pretty sure Will was roaring like a dinosaur and Max was beating rocks with a stick.

We took a short hike to the top of a waterfall and the kids climbed over the stream..

 And jumped over the stream...

And in the stream.

we even hiked up a little ways to find where it came out of the mountain.

We drove up to this spot a couple times. You could see another mountain range and the white sands desert and all the towns in between. My little camera couldn't even begin to capture how gorgeous it was.
