i realized I havent posted in a LONG time. sorry about that! updates....bria is doing well. talking up a storm!! she likes to say, "i dont like it" which is great. not. she also is speaking in a lot more full sentences. it is fun to watch her mind work. although lately every time i am reading my library book she comes up to me and said pen...so then i have to explain to her we dont write in books only on paper. sigh....hopefully she doesnt end up writing in any books!
on that note i am trying to read Time magazines 100 best novels. i am half way through with one of the books lol. but it is a goal of mine to read them all. some of them i have read, are you there margaret? by judy blume or whatever the correct title is. and to kill a mockingbird by harper lee and the lion the witch and the wardobe and a couple others, but i do plan to reread these as well.
eating better? joined weight watchers. lost 1.7 pounds in teh first week. i am doing well with that although my doc wants me to eat some fried foods to see how my gallbladder reacts as i might have to get that taken out.
exercise has fallen on teh wayside, i hope to get back at it.
saving money. well we are slowly paying it off...it happens.
and a charlee update. she is doing well. sitting up on her own but not crawling yet. still not sleeping through th enight but i think she is now working on her upper 2 teeth. she is such a smily loud baby!
brent is busy as always shingling, working etc.
that is as much of an update as i can give right now. more updates soon!

Opinion Outpost
Just wanted to let everyone know of a way I am paying for my treadmill. By doing surveys online. One company that I use is called Opinion Outpost. it is a reputable company and has gotten good reviews. they will email you if you have a survey you take it and if you qualify you win points. 10 points is $1.00. I have only been a member for a few months and have already earned $40.70!!! If you want to sign up, go here. Every little bit counts right?

DIAPER DEAL!!
I posted before (I believe) about the diaper deal on Amazon? Anyway, if you get the Parents magazine or Parenting magazine there is a pullout card with a unique Amazon code for 20% diapers. go to Amazon, click on diapers, subscribe and save options (to get 30% off), pick your diapers then hit subscribe and save and then use your code. That way you can get 50% off diapers!! amazing deals!
If anyone isnt going to use their codeplease email me separetely as i would love to use them! having two kids in diapers is wallet busting lol! HOPEFULLY, Bria will be potty trained soon.

Update plus weekly meal plan!
1. Exercise 3 days a week. Friday me and a girl from work went on a fast paced walk for about half an hour, i cleaned yesterday and didnt sit much and i think i got close to my 10,000 steps as i didnt put the thing on till 11am. And last night i worked out for 15 minutes on my treadmill! lol. i started a workout on there and boy i think i need to work up to it. and it is hard to work out as bria and brent are staring at me lol.
2. Eating right. Friday night we had spaghetti, saturday i didnt know what to make for lunch so i took one can of tuna in water, drained, chopped up 3/4 of a jar of marinated artichokes, little bit of the juice from the marinade, pepper, put on toast with swiss cheese, carrots and pineapple. mmm. bria even ate the sandwich at least a bit.
3. Save money. well i did spend money a treadmill, but it was used so not that much, but we didnt eat out this weekend which is huge since normally we do eat out at least once a weekend.
4. Pay off bills. Just got paid Friday so i am working on paying off bills. but they are all getting lower THANKFULLY :)
MEAL PLAN:
saturdya night we had nachos, not the healiest but this way we didnt eat out, yesterday lunch we had leftovers and last night we had chicken fajitas. it was healthier since we made our own seasonings instead of the packet. brent puts all this stuff in a bowl and it tastes AWESOME! we also had watermelon with it.
tonight i am going out to eat with friends from high school and brent and bria are having sloppy joes and french fries. Charlee will have cereal and applesauce.
and i just realized i left my sheet with what are meal plan is at home, so i will update that tomorrow

GOALS
Alright here are my goals, I am going to make a few goals then update you guys on how I am doing. I think I need to be accountable to someone...even if Ashley is the only one that reads this (Shout out to Ashley lol)
1. Exercise 3 days a week. I was doing really well with the Couch to 5k program, then it became ridiculously hot and I couldnt run in it. Now this weekend probably I will get a treadmill (if it looks alright and we can make a deal etc) so I am going to start working out 3 days a week. walking at first since it has been awhile. then going on to the couch to 5k again. I want to get fit!!
2. Eating right. I want to eat right and get healthy and lose weight. I want to get down to pre preganancy weight and frankly i am 10 pounds from it, so i feel....well, fat. so here it goes! if you have any recipes that are CHEAP and good and healthy please send them my way, i will make them then review them.
3. Save money. dont we all wish we had more money? i am always searching for the allusive money tree. I want to really watch what i spend. i have been going to the gas station for a treat more often then a "treat" is needed. I could save a ton of money this way.
4. Pay off bills. We are doing fairly well in this are. as one credit card is paid off and one is sooooo close to being paid off. But i know we could do even better.
I think that is my goal for right now. Updates are in the next post.

Making your own laundry soap
I have been reading about people making their own laundry soap for awhile now and at first i was skeptical. but i decided to take the plunge and try it. I went out and bought the supplies. Borax 
(approximately 2.99-3.99 a box, found at Target), Washing Soda 
(approximately 2.99-3.99 a box, found at Coborns), Ivory soap (or Fels Naptha, you need one bar if you use Ivory, i bought a 4 pack for less then $4.00 but I cant remember how much for sure from Coborns) water and optional is essential oils, this is just to make it smell good. i got one bottle at the health store for 4.99.
what you do is take 6 cups water and melt your own bar of Ivory soap (we shaved it with our cheese grater)after that is done you add in your 1/2 cup of borax and 1/2 cup of washing soda, stir till dissolves. Add in 6 cups hot tap water to your jug (some use an empty kitty liter container, we used an old oil container) add in soap mixture, then add in 2 gallons plus 6 cups tap water, then add essential oils till it smells to your liking. then stir, loosely cover. let stand 2 hours to cool, stir then you can use it! we poured ours into our old containers. the one thing we had happen was it turned to jello a bit. so we mixed it up with a hand mixer, but i am told that is okay to use like that as well. we have used it often and it seems to work just fine, for heavily soiled loads add in more borax or washing soda.
it is amazing tha tyou can make this much laundry soap for soo cheap and spend a hefty amount on laundry soap at the store. Try it and let me know how well you do!

"The Mountain Between Us" By Charles Martin
I won this book from Read it Forward and received it Friday, read it through the weekend and finished it Sunday night. Let me tell you that this book is now one of my favorites! It is about this doctor who is stuck in an airport, he wants to get out of there before a bad storm to get to his patients, he meets a girl who is eager to get to her wedding rehearsal the next day, so instead of getting stuck at the airport they charter a plane. the pilot has a heart attack and crash lands the place in the Utah wilderness...MILES UPON MILES from anyone...or anything. It is about them trying to survive and most importantly it is about love...no this is NOT a love story like you are thinking...no hanky panky dirty dirty going on, but you have to read it to find out about the love part. One hint, the doctor records messages to his wife on his recorded, his thoughts, his feelings.
SERIOUSLY go out and buy this book!! AND sign up for Read it Forward. You wont regret it, I havent.

Read it Forward "The One that I want" by Allison Winn Scotch
I was the lucky winner of a copy of "The One that I want" by Allison Winn Scotch from Read it Forward. I got it Friday, which was perfect as I was going to the lake this weekend. I figured I wouldnt get much time to read since we had the kids all weekend, but low and behold I finished it last night.
It is about this lady in a small town, her home town where she grew up. Her life seemed perfect except when she sees a palm reader at the local fair who promises to give her ?"clarity" this clarity comes in the form of seeing glimpses in the future. She then sees things that is going on in her life, in her 2 sisters lifes and her fathers life that she isnt sure she wants to see.
It made me think would I want to see into the future if I could? Would you?
Also I can pass this book along (as obviously it was a great read) to anyone that wants it. Please let me know.

Opinion Outpost
I found another way to earn some easy free money. doing surveys. I found a REPUTABLE survey company, you feel out your profiles, they send you surveys they think you will qualify for, you take them, if you do qualify you get points, and so many points equal $1.00 i just started and now have $4.80. in my mind soo easy! one step closer to that treadmill i want!! If you are intersted go here and sign up...try it, if you dont like it you can unsubscribe. But do you have something you want to save up for? this is one way to do it!! GO HERE and sign up.
i also earn free money from pinecone research and swagbucks click on swagbucks to sign up.
I also earn money through Shop at home and ebates. they give you money for buying things online. If you are to order prints from snapfish or whereever and go through shopathome or ebates first you get a percentage back! i have earned OVER $30.00 this way...totally worth it, sign up for both as one might have a better percentage discount then the next.

My most recent Target trip.
I went to Target tonight becuase last time we were there (Sunday) we bought Bria diapers, and when i looked at the receipt on Tuesday morning I noticed they charged us twice for those diapers. that was 13.69 that we didnt need to spend. so I called and they said they would take care of it. So i needed to go there, plus I had a ton of coupons that I wanted to see if i could get some things for good deals.
I got the above for.....
that is right!!! :) this is my best shopping experience yet! plus that includes a few things we needed that i didnt have coupons for.

Ten Minutes from Home and Read it Forward
I have heard of Read it Forward, they give you books for free to read before they are published and in most cases edited. SOOOO i signed up and got this book called Ten Minutes From home by Beth Greenfield. Assuming I wouldnt like it I set it down for awhile and put it in my work bag in case i needed a book, well i started to read it and within the first 12 pages couldnt put it down! i cried within those first 12 pages. It is a true story about a girl who is returning from her ballet recital with her parents, her best friend and her little brother. they get hit by a drunk drive, and her friend and brother are killed and her dealing with those emotions, how her mom and dad dealt with those emotions and how she lived with it. VERY moving story. Definetly recommend it, if you want to read it i am supposed READ IT FORWARD, so i can pass it on to one of you too. let me know!

LIfe update
NOt really sure how many people read my blog, so if you are out there please leave a comment just to let me know I should keep bloggin!!!
work is going alright, there with be many difference around here as a new Executive director starts in the fall and we are considering restructuring. shoudl be interesting to see what happens. My work got a little article on forbes.com!! that is pretty cool! check it out here.
Home life. is goign well. Bria is starting to show us her will...that is fun. lol. but along with that she is talking up a storm and starting to do little sentences you can see her brain moving. today I told her i had to get my jacket since it was raining and she goes mommy coat on. then she goes bria coat on. (or jacket i cant remember) so that was cute to see her put things togehter. and she is remembering more stuff now. the other day a bird ran into our dining room window (that will teach me to wash windows!) and it died, she saw the bird and i told her the bird went night night so i didnt have to go into life and death with her yet. so she kept saying bird night night for about a WEEK!! finally i think she is over that! also she sees brents blaze orange coat and she says papa! brents dad always wears a blaze orange coat to go outside if itis cold. so it is funny she remembered that.
Charlee is good. she has rolled over from tummy to back, for me, but no one else. hahah. maybe i finally have a mommys girl on my hands! she is also talking up a storm and CHEWING on everythign she might be an early teether! she is also getting SOOO big! she is in 6 months clothes already! she had her 4 month appt and she was 15.5 pounds! my little chunker.
both girls love to be outside and around the action. so we spend a TON of time outdoors.
OKay brent update, he is busy, what else is new? lol. he is working usually over 40 hours a week, closer to 50 normally, he also has taken on a few side roofing jobs as well. although has been rained out lately. he also works as caretaker at the manor so we have sweet old ladies calling our house all the time asking if he will grease their walker. lol. NO JOKE! bria sometimes ventures with dad and she enjoys it, since sometimes she gets M&Ms.
there you go that should satisfy your line craving for awhile.
again please let me know if you read this!!!

7 things that make me grumpy
HMMM not sure how I was supposed to get notification of this...but you know. I happened to read Ashley's blog and she tagged me to talk about the "7 things that make me grumpy" and frankly on this rough week at work and it is raining, what a better day to do it!!
1. NOt getting enough sleep. I think I am just one of those people that need more sleep then normal people. It isnt that i need a specific number of hours a night, but MAN if i go too many nights without a good rest...I am crabby! Lately, since Charlee is sleeping through the night and Bria is too it hasnt been too bad. But the last week Bria has been waking up in the middle of the night crying. (we think teeth?) anyway, last night it took me awhile to get to sleep (stressing over some dousche bag at work) and then I finally get to sleep, and get woken up by a text message (from a friend that said she had her baby!) so that didnt make me mad, but then i couldnt get back to sleep thinking about babies, then thinking about what i want to take the girls to do this summer (and i need to get on that since summer is already almost 1/3 over!!) then i get woken up by brent snoring and a car being loud by our house! so rough night! oh and charlee since she went to bed soo early woke up at 1:40am! i wasnt very pleased.
2. when plans change. I like to be prepared, i like to know what is happening, i like to hav ethings set, so when plans change last minute I get mad!! happens sometimes with kids yes, but becuse i have kids it would be nice to know plans!!
3. I get grumpy when people arent appreciative. i mean how hard is it to say thanks??
4. i get grumpy when i am talking to people on my cell on the way home from work and i get to the area that has no service...i mean really? there are still areas in Minnesota with no cell phone service? i mean it isnt lake of the woods or something! geez!!! and because i have kids on the ride home is the best time for me to catch up with people on the telephone.
5. i hate when I get to work havent even got my computer on and someone is already asking me to do osmething or ask me something. i get to work early so that i get a few minutes to get my computer on and check my emails and then go about my day....cant you give me 15 minutes to just get my stuff in order before you ask me questions??
6. i hate when people are late! how hard is it to be on time!!!!
7. hmmm what should i put as my final gripe....it makes me really grumpy when i dont get me time, alone time, i need it, i crave it. i amnot a sane person without it.
THERE!!
now how do i tag people??? no idea! so please do this on your blog if you wish! happy complaining about being grumpy lol

Run Run Run
hi hi! Well my new goal is to run a 5k this fall. yesterday i was able to take my first walk of the spring! it was wonderful! yes i know why am i walking instead of running if i want to do a 5k? well since tomorrowis 6 weeks since giving birth i am easing my way back into exercise! but man have a i missed it...watch in a few weeks i will wish for this time, but whatever.
Just a reminder to sign up for swagbucks!! seriously i am on $55 dollasr of free monye, just click on sign up in th ewidget on the top of the blog.
charlee is getting big, eating 3 ounces at a time now last night she went to bed at 10pm and slept till 4am! ate then got up at 6:45. so that was amazing. she smiles at us a lot now, so now ijust need to get that on camera!
bria is kind of getting jealous more often now. she has reach the hitting phase, although it seems not at daycare just to her mom and dad, nice huh? i mean i am glad she isnt hitting other kids though but i am not sure what to do with that.
brent is home now from reno, so we are VERY glad to have him back!! bowling wasnt that great though.
mom came to stay with me while brent was gone, that was fun. i was able to clean adn organize our upstairs, and i moved some toys up there so that will become a play room. or part of it will be. bria will only be able to be up there supervised for now, since the stairs are pretty steep.
work will be here before i know it..ugh enough about that!
this weekend we had chris, jade mariah and mirandas bday parties that was fun. next weekend is parkers bday party and paxtons first bday party and the following weekend is charlee baptism.....free weekend? whats that?

Charlee Judith
well, life has changed at our house! now we have our 2 under 2. i will save the details but my VBAC (vaginal birth after csection) was successful...barely. Bria loves Charlee and wants to kiss her all the time, she also likes to get into things while i am feeding charlee since she knows it is more difficult for me to get her into trouble. Charlee had some problems sucking early on and they were worried since she didnt eat for over 24 hours, so bottles and formula it is and she is doing better. we sometimes still have to convince her that the bottle is a good thing, but i can tell she isnt starving...ithink she is going to be a chub!!! she gets up about ever 2-3 hours at night and sometimes every hour! she does get a tummy ache sometimes she wants to eat a lot and eats too much sometimes. not sure if we need to switch forumla or not.
i cant believe that she is already 3 weeks old today! time is flying, in a bad way! work wil come too fast.

Rough weekend
So friday night I went home and got Bria (brent was ice fishing with some friends) we ate supper but Bria didnt eat much she has a horrible cough. We found out Paxton had bronchitis so I called the ER to see if they thought Bria might have it and if they thought we shoudl bring her in. Turns out bronchitis IS contagious but that the chances that they would give Bria anything at the doctors office were slim to none, so they just told us to watch her breathing for wheezing and to give her tylenol or motrin. YAH tell that to the 9.5 month pregnant lady. Anyway, we played and she went to bed horribly and slept horribly that night. Saturday we were planning on getting Brias 18 month pictures taken, doing some last minute baby shopping (and also try to walk this baby out) and then go out to eat for Jim and Linda's anniversary. Well none of that got to happen, it rained then froze then snowed on Saturday. so we thought it best to stay home. limbs were falling off trees from the weight of the ice!!! LUCKILY our cable worked all day except for the power going off a few times. I could about imagine how Brent woudl have been freaking if the tv didnt work for the game on Sunday!!! so we hung out, Bria took a horrible nap Saturday too. We made a whole chicken saturday night and hung out. Saturday bria slept a bit better but not tha tgreat. still coughing in the middle of the nigth soo hard to make her gag and wake up.
Sunday was better we decided to go grocery shopping. ALL of us. i didnt know how that woudl bode for my grocery budget....Our total was 107 something and with coupons it was 87.24, which means i saved 26% i was soo proud of myslef!! i am hoping that this stocks us up for awhile besides bread, milk produce etc. YAH!
after we went to lunch then home, bria finally took a good nap and I reorganized our pantries, they desperately needed it! and cleaned a bit. then we sat and watched the game, you all know how that turned out. then i tried to go to bed, then at 2am bria wakes up and thinks it is time to getup!! um nope. tried everythign to get her to go back to sleep nothing worked! finally i coudlnt sit in the chair anymore my back hurt too bad, so brent got up with her, needless to say he is home sick today with a stomach bug....bria is at daycare, probably crabby and i made it in to work even though the roads werent that great!
What a great monday huh?

hello!
wanted to update on some things!
One...back in November I ordered some things from Amazon. I got great deals!! I got Fridge phonics for Bria for christmas for $10.38 (you can find this for $20.00 or mor ein stores), I got the Fridge Farm set for $8.00 (about 15 or so in stores) for a bday present that hasnt happened yet and i got a 27 piece magnetic dress up doll for $10.17 (which i have seen at herbergers for about 15-20. I also got free shipping since it was over $25.00 grand total 28.55. so already i got some great deals. well they had a promotion that you would get a year of Parents magazine with your order, but you could opt out of it and instead get $9.97 back. Well I already get Parents magazine and I have found that i dont get many chances to read it already, so I sent in my rebate form to receive a check anyway. FOrgot about it for awhile, but just recently remembered it. WELL Friday i got it in th email! yep $9.97 cents! so that makes my original purchase $18.58! not bad for 3 high quality toys! tha tis 6.19 a piece! Now i jus tneed to decide what I want to do with my rebate...put it in savings, or Brias savings or just cash and spend it. I think I am leaning towards either putting it in my christmas/birthday present fund or Brias savings. Extra money is nice!!
I also received extra money lately from my swagbucks. Now i have told you about this before but SERIOUSLY you need to sign up under for swagbucks! why say no to free money??? sign up here.

bria is good, stubborn...man! where does she get that from? she now loves to color and is obsessed with her barney movies! and elmo movies at daycare.
