Shopping for boys sucks!

Does any other mom’s out there go very frustrated with our retail stores?  I do!  I am sick and tired of walking into a children’s clothing store and having to walk clear in the back corner to find the 1 or  shelves they have dedicated to boys clothes.  I have to surf through 25 racks of girls clothes to get to 1 rack of of boys!

I use to love this when I only had a daughter, I could shop anywhere, anytime and find pretty much anything at the first store i went to.  Now that I have added a boy to our mix, this is not an easy task.

Thanks to Carters for actually having half a store full of boys clothes but they are not always convenient to go to.

Anyone else know of any other stores that actually sell boys clothes?  Any of you retailers?  If so can I make a request to get some more boys clothes int he mix.  Boys may not be bread to shop, but most woman want to shop and buy clothes and not just for their daughters.  I personally despise shopping but love to shop for my kids.

Happy shopping everyone!

How I made myself work out today when I did not want to.

Today my throat is a bit sore and I was not in the mood to even walk and it is a beautiful day. How did i manage to fit one in?  Here is my secret…get really mad at your husband and want to get out fast.  Pack the baby up in the backpack and go on a long walk. 

Nothing like a long walk to get that frustration out of your system.  The silver lining to being mad I guess.  Hopefully a better workout and a non-sore throat tomorrow.

Have a great day!

This week got better!

My post on Tuesday was about how I only had 6 diapers and no food and this week because of awesome friends and a great follower I have been able to keep our heads above water and make it til tomorrow which is payday:)  A HUGE thanks to both who are my hero’s this week and you know who you are!

My old neighbor, whom I adore and check on all the time just happen to send us a box of Omaha steaks that cam in the mail last night. We now have about 12 meals of meat in there.  I had no idea she was sending them and she had to have ordered them last week for them to come last night.

An awesome follower sent me a donation and this has allowed me to buy diapers today.  My 6 diapers were gone yesterday but I forgot I had 3 in the diaper bag so i ended up having 9.  I get to go buy some as soon as I am off the computer.

I am blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life, thanks and love you all!

I am not posting this til Friday but wanted to let you know that I am actually writing this on Thursday.  Just for the timeline!

First popsicle!

I love these Popsicles because they are slow melt and very small, call them miniatures actually.  My daughter has been eating them for 3 years now and they do not melt fast and have very rarely have had to clean up any messes from them.  They are a bit more expensive then the cheap brands but worth the waste I have when she has a big Popsicle and they are awesome because they are slow melting.  They put a little gelatin in them and this keeps them a solid a bit longer.

It was just too cute not to post a picture of my 13 month old having one and he was NOT happy when it was gone at all.  I love Popsicles!

Beautiful day for a walk!

Gearing up to head outside in our awesome weather to take the two kids and the dog for a long walk.  It is only in the mid 60’s today and for me this is perfect walking weather.  Plus we all need to get out.  Some people may think that being a stay at home Mom is easy but cabin fever can make it hard and getting out of the house can do wonders for all of us, including the dog!

Hope it stays like this for a while.

Plus with the stroller equaling about 90lbs with both kids in it, it is an extra work out for me and I come home sore!  This way I am building muscle along with my cardio.

Halloween costume help!

My daughter wants to be snow white for Halloween and i have the dress and the wig already but the wig has been around for a long time and looks horrible.  I brushed it our 3 days ago but it is frizzy and looks really bad.  Does anyone have a secret to making this wig look soft and combed again?

Here is what it looks like now, I have left it hanging here for 3 days hoping it would calm a bit but still frizzy and looks really bad.

Is Fear taking over my/your life?

One thing that Joe Vitale continually talks about in his CD’s, the missing secret, is that fact that most people are lead by fear.  I truly believe this because this is something I will have to overcome in order to achieve m  goal of 100% positive thinking.

What are you letting fear keep you from?

Here is my example.

I was getting into a rut and becoming the “victim” of everything.  The whole world was against me, my lack of time, my relationships, both with my husband and friends, and my lack of money.  Of course this was not my fault right?  I was the victim.  In the end the real problem was/is my frame of mind and fear was/is attracting the negative things in my life.  My law of attraction was not working in a positive way but rather a negative way.  It’s not that the LOA was not working for me it was, and always will be, but I have learned I am in charge of what it will attract…ALL THE TIME!

When I ran across the secret movie and Joe’s CD’s I decided I was going to be very open minded when listening to it.  This is why I have to listen to it over and over because as I release those fears in my life, I am able to get more out of the CD’s and movie and attract more positive in my life.

I was always mad at my husband and he was the cause of it, of course.  I always stressed and we would fight every payday because we had no money and I did not see how we could make ends meet.  I started a new business and of course I found every way to make it everyone else’s fault on why I am having a hard time getting it going like it needs to be.

What I am realizing is that it is not everyone elses fault but mine,  I had a closed mind and was attracting the negative and therefore that is what I was/am receiving.

My new goals, as I have been posting, is to change this “victim’ frame of mind I have and be grateful and happy for what I know and have.  I know what I am doing is right and it is going to reflect into everything I am doing.  Of course I am just in the beginning but the beginning is where we all need to be at some point and the only other option for me now is to head into the middle and then the end.  The end not meaning I am done but rather the end of my fear, and the beginning of my abundant positive LOA!

Why do we fear what we don’t know and why do we run away or ridicule others who are not the same way?

Is this why people who drink or smoke can’t stop even though they say they want to?  Are they afraid that they do not deserve to stop?  Are they scared that they will not know how to live if they stop.  This statement is in no way shape or form to ridicule anyone in my life that do these things, this is merely a thought process in my head right now.  It is the best comparison i can come up with right now.

Is this fear also the reason why I have had to friend weed over the past few months?  I started something new and wanted to share it and bam! All of a sudden I was the plague.  I am not mad at those people anymore because I have cut it down to the fact that they feared letting me show them something new and it is easier to avoid or run away then to learn something new (I did this to my Dad for 2 years)  When I opened up my mind and saw what he was trying to show me I saw that there was nothing for me to be afraid of and he had something that I needed to see and now I appreciate that I gave him the time to show me.

I know this is a long post but there is just a lot going through my mind right now and this has been a big bother to me over the past couple of months.  I want the bother gone so I am submitting my negative vibes from above to the universe and asking it to bury it deep, deep , deep.  I don’t want these negative feelings anymore.

I love my life, I love my family, I love my friends and am grateful for so many things.  I am not going to let the negative take away from my grateful attitude!

I hope that everyone has a blessed day and faces your fears straight on and asks the universe to get rid of them!
