An unexpected find

I was uploading some pictures from Joe's work camera and look what I found. Some cute pictures of Griffin when he is was smaller, much smaller.

I am grateful for camera's. I've got tons of pictures and it is always fun to look back and remember things exactly how they were!

Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber

Just thought I would let everyone know that the Scrubbing Bubbles action scrubber is my absolute most favorite cleaning tool for showers and tubs!

I know not everyone loves cleaning their showers and tubs, it was always at the bottom of my list. But if you want to have a clean sparkling shower and/or tub I highly recommend this product!

When you first start out you buy their starter package and it comes with the handy little sponge grip holder, not sure what the exact name of this would be. Then you just attach the foaming cleanser cloth to the bottom. There is a Velcro type adhesive on the bottom of the sponge grip holder and the foaming cleanser cloth attaches nicely.

I usually wet my shower first and then just start scrubbing away. I love this product b/c you don't have to work really hard to get all the dirt and scum out. It seems to just disappear as you are wiping over the areas.

So if you are tired of having to really work to get the soap scum out of your showers then give this product a try! It really is the best cleanser I have found for the job!

Little Updates

Just checking in...

I can officially say that today is one of the first days in a long time that I haven't drank a carbonated beverage. To be even more specific no Coke products for me today!! I know tomorrow will be harder but I am taking this one day at a time!

The kitchen got cleaned last night before I went to bed and it is waiting for me again. Thought I better do a quick little blog update, as that was one of my weekly goals!

I've cooked dinner two nights in a row! Perhaps tomorrow we will be dining on left overs. Thursday night Joe and I are going on a date so that is one less day to worry about.

Here are some cute pictures of the boys. Griffin loves playing in the garage with his Dad. He made a little pile of saw dust and had so much fun dumping and driving his monster trucks through it!
Joe is busy working on putting shelves up and he is also working on getting the fence installed. We got all the cedar today. Soon enough Griffin will have his own little back yard paradise!!!

Ciao for now!

Random blogging

I am starting to feel like I am not a good blogger. I love reading everyone's blog and getting to peek in on their lives, and yet I don't really add much to my blog...hmmmm not really fair for anyone who reads my blog.

So I decided I am just going to write about whatever I feel like. There aren't any rules in the blogging world,that I know of, I mean not every post has to have a cute picture or a funny story. As a matter of fact some blog posts I happen to come upon are really about nothing, and that nothing is really what makes the blog so fun to read.

Every Sunday I sit down and plan out the week ahead. I usually write down some goals. Confession: lately I have had the same goals written down, I wont' tell you how many weeks or months I have had a few of the goals written down because it would make me blush, so I figure if I share them on my blog for anyone to see then I might actually be more apt to get them done. After all who wants everyone to know you aren't accomplishing some silly goals you write down on your blog....

This week's goals:

1. Every night before I go to bed the dishes have to be loaded, the counters clean, and nothing in the sink!

2.Update my blog everyday, yes everyday, with some random thought, picture, or some insight into my life.

3. Get my sewing machine set up. I have all the pieces for my baby quilt cut, okay still have one more piece of fabric to cut, and haven't set up my sewing machine. Must do it this week. The babies are going to be born soon and I don't want them to miss out on a cozy one of a kind blanket made by me!

4. Hmmmm....okay I am going to post it. I am going to give up drinking Coke Zero! Oh my goodness can you believe it, can you even fathom a world where I don't drink a Coke Zero everyday? Well I have been dreaming about this one since the beginning of the year and every day I say to myself this is the day but then I succumb to temptation. So today, Monday 4-20-2009 is out b/c I had a Coke Zero, but tomorrow Tuesday 4-21-2009 I am pledging to myself and all my readers that I will NOT drink any form of a carbonated beverage! Can't guarantee what will happen on Wednesday, because hey I am not planning going totally cold turkey...it is going to take some time to cleanse my body of this habit.

Phew it feels so good to write these down, especially about my addiction to Coke Zero! Yeah seriously it is an addiction and it does feel good to admit it!

Ciao for now peeps!

A Tabby Thing

Pockee a.k.a. Grandpa captured this cute picture of Griffin on his "crackberry". My dad is always telling me how he knew I was really concentrating on something when I was younger. He said he knew because I would have my tongue sticking out of my mouth. Not sure if I still do this, well sometimes yes when I am really concentrating I do find myself in this position and then I laugh about it and get back to work.

I guess this trait got passed onto Griffin. My dad has titled this photo " A Tabby Thing".

Thanks Dad for the fun photo, it actually turned out pretty good considering you captured it from your "crackberry".

Wazzup!

Last week my mom, sister, and baby Ella were in town for a visit.

I had so much fun with them and I was so sad on Sunday when they left. My house feels really empty and I just can't bring myself to go downstairs to clean up the bedroom and bathroom. It just feels too vacant!

We didn't take any pictures. I am real upset about it. Usually we take a few pictures but this time I only got the camera out once to take pics of LJ and my mom. I've really got to be better about capturing my memories!

Lots of things happened and we made some wonderful memories despite the fact we didn't capture any on film, geeezzzz.

And, because y'all know I like quotes here is a quote that summarizes how I feel about memories!

Leftovers in their less visible form are called memories. Stored in the refrigerator of the mind and the cupboard of the heart. ~Thomas FullerI had to put a picture on my blog, so I found a picture of our refrigerator. It goes with the quote, and now everyone knows what my fridge looks like. *wink*
