1. I finally got around to finishing Haley's birthday thank you notes this week. I am only a month behind...that's not too bad right? I just edited a photo from her birthday and added a "thank you". There is a more personal message on the back with a tracing of Haley's handprint (this was a real nightmare with a 1 year old). I think they turned out how I had envisioned them so I am pretty happy. Stay tuned to a mail box near you.
2.I finally completed the craft project I have been working on...the one I have been mentioning for weeks now...a dry erase calender for my kitchen. I saw a similar project on a blog that I follow and the organized freak inside of me just had to make it. The project cost me a total of...wait for it...$0.00. I got the frame from my wonderful sister (who wants it back now), the paint marker I had, and the wall was already there. I did buy some new pretty colored expo markers but I am not counting that because I splurged and didn't really need them. Unfortunately I do not have any before pictures but trust me that it was not very pretty to begin with.
3. I need to save money. Ever since I went back to work in May of 2009 I have been hassling my wonderful husband to stay home with Haley. Unfortunately we haven't been able to make it work just yet but I am confident it is going to happen in the near (365 days or less) future. Anyway, I have decided that in order to move the date up I need to take on a second career as a home economist (I think this term came from some lame talk radio show that Justin listens to). Basically I have to start clipping coupons, not shopping at Hobby Lobby and Target, eating out less, and conserving everywhere I can. It seems like an easy task in writing but it is really hard. I have tried other times in the past and never stick to it. I am addicted to spending money on unnecessary crap. I need help! I am looking for suggestions here. Any advice or words of wisdom would be great.
4. We spent our weekend alone doing a little spring cleaning. We cleared and prepared our all our flowerbeds. And when I say cleaned and prepared I mean completely gutted and leveled so we can put in more grass! Yeah for a bigger yard for Haley to run in...some day. There is something that makes me so happy about getting out the flip flops and tank tops and working int he yard! I love spring and summer.
6. Friday we got Haley's first art project. Apparently in her new class they have art and crafts time. Last week they worked on letters H & I. How freaking cute is that?!?! Too bad I am not the one teaching her. We will chose to believe that they are just laying the ground work for the big lessons I have to teach her in the future. Hehe. PS..please try to ignore the fact that her name is spelled wrong on one of the pages. Let's just say I was a little irritated
Have a great week everyone!
