A blog about our crazy life and how we got to where we are...which is nowhere yet! How we lived the American dream in the spur of a moment and are now digging ourselves out of the hole. You will cry, hopefully laugh and take away a little lesson learned from our experiences. At least that's what we hope! Enjoy our blog/life.

He really loves me

Last night after we got Brady to bed...{well even before for me} we were running around like crazy trying to get our house picked up a bit for an in home panel interview I had this morning for a study I had participated in.  Kev did the dishes for me, greatly appreciated! Even though I know he dreaded it, because he said he did.  But when I went to bed last night the clean dishes were still laying out drying...which is fine.  I totally planned on putting them away this morning when I woke.  Well, my sweet husband :) put them away this morning before he left for work.  What a guy!  I know it doesn't mean much to him because it is just dishes, but it means sooo much to me!  To not have to lock Brady in his room so I can run and put the dishes away, or even just one less thing to worry about this morning.
Ahh-my man truly knows the way to my heart!

Closet Makeover Introduction

Our closets desperately need a makeover.  Whom ever lived in our home before really did a number on these closets, and not a good one.  I may or may not post pics...it is too embarrassing!  And impossible to keep organized. 
I have a few ideas I would like to to throw out there on what we would like to do.  The closets are not very big and of course, Brady and I share a closet.  Believe it or not, Kevin has more shoes than I do!

I like the organization of this closet, but we have these same wire racks and they are falling apart, crooked and do not look this organized at all.


I think adding drawers to our closet would be a great way to hide clutter, and with our small home we have a lot of that!  But I can tell you right now, one bar for hanging just wont cut it.


This one is more of what we need.  It is about the size of our closets too.  I think this may be a winner.  However, I do not keep my shoes in my closet, as they hang on the back of the bedroom door.


This one is a lot like the other above.  The hanging units are small which means I would have to fold my jeans and put them in one of those little cubicals - this gets messy fast for me.  And I do not think just two drawers will cut it and I am sick of canvas bins.  These closets are not realistic at all...whose closet looks like this?  


So here you have it, my ideas...totally picked apart!  This is going to be harder than I thought.  I may just have to settle...  What are you thoughts?  I seriously need help!

Oat Bran yummy muffins

 So easy and so so yummy!
Check out the pic below, I added baby food to them. During the process of teaching Brady to eat with his hands, etc. He took a liking to it and now refuses his baby food from a jar. So, in order for him to get his vitamins and whatever else the baby food provides I have been thinking of ways to put in into food he can eat with his little pickers!
What you need: 1 box Kroger Brand, Low fat, No Cholesterol Oat Bran muffin mix. 1 cup raisins {whatever kind you like}{and optional} Cooking Spray. 2 1/2 jars of your favorite fruit baby food.
Follow the recipe on the back of the box, but just add your baby food jars to the mix and bake as directed.
As you can see above, I popped these little yummies in my mini muffin pan {by Pampered Chef purchased from my good friend Elizabeth Fryman} 
And wah-la! they fit in my little guys mouth perfectly!  He loves to grab them and go, the sad thing is, he's not crawling yet so he crawls and squishes them all over the floor!
Oh! A big yummy bite!  And he is eating his baby food and does not even know it!  What else can I come up with?  Got any suggestions?  I would love to hear them, and they will be featured here on the blog.
