It's really blown by, especially this summer. Guess when you have three kids that's what happens. Jonathan is now nine months old and into everything. He crawls, eats, babbles, sleeps in his own bed, stands with help and is trying to pull up on his own! 😲 As for the girls, they claimed major game around here when they wrestled a crocodile the other day.

A bedroom makeover, of sorts.Recent times have been occupied by our bouncing, rolling, kicking and punching baby BOY, and his bedroom is no exception. Granted, he probably won't be in it until he is about five or six months old, but I have a feeling time will be too fleeting to start getting it ready then.

Has it been a while or what? I can't believe it's been six months since my last post- and that 2015 is nearly half-over. Whoa. Where to begin?I'll start with our crazy-cold winter. Ok maybe not quite as cold as 2014's winter, as our highest gas bill was only in the $80's as opposed to the $140's. That said, we had a chance to go sledding, which rarely happens in CrazyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09387554825693049433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682394347250075067.post-53127657997049933392014-11-27T11:28:00.003-06:002014-11-27T11:28:58.819-06:00A Thanksgiving Scramble (Pic Heavy!)So here we are... late November 2014 already.

You know, that clean-food, drool-inducing fast-food (or is it "fast-casual" these days?) that actually tastes good and in some ways is good.
The mouth-watering food is too tasty to stay away from. The flame-grilled and just-right-seasoned chicken (albeit not spicy) tastes sooo good in both burritos AND bowls. And we can't forget the seasoned steak, CrazyMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09387554825693049433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682394347250075067.post-30255457508303797412014-04-17T20:44:00.001-05:002014-04-17T20:44:45.062-05:00Good Evening.I'll admit it's been a while since I posted.

I don't wanna go to the gym. But I want to lose weight and be healthy. Isn't that oxymoronic and crazy?
There is a laundry list of reasons why I don't want a gym membership, the number one being FINANCES. Even if it's only $10 a month, that's $120/year. Two or so of those could get me my very own elliptical. My. Very. Own. Elliptical. And I have room for it in my house.

Yes, I just said that publicly. Why??
1. I have extra me that I want to lose.
2. My brain is about as foggy as London (which is about as foggy as foggy gets, right? I mean seriously- it is imperative that my head stay attached to my body at this point. Otherwise I will lose the damn thing.).
3. I want to firm up my arms and increase muscle mass.

Later that week, I confided in my then-new-fiance/now-husband. "They found a lump in my breast. I have to go get an ultrasound."

It's that time of year again, folks, when (grown) men, in stadiums throughout the USA, run around chasing an oval-shaped, brown ball, with cute stitching on top, around a field. The field has two yellow goal posts which look like a robotic-shaped letter 'Y' on each end of it (commonly referred to as an end- zone).

I actually don’t like honeydew very much (I prefer cantaloupe, if I might say so myself), but I like honeydo. Our new home has so much potential that it’s not even funny.
