Welcome to my blog.  I've created this place as a social outlet when I need a break from motherhood and everyday chores.  I am a 25 year old mother of four children ages 4 and under.  I am the wife of James and broker of our real estate company.  James and I have 3 boys:  James Jr. (4), William (3) and Zachary (23 months).  We recently had a daughter Hailey Grace who is now 4 months old. 

 

Everyday is a busy day in my world.  It is full of cooking, cleaning, diaper changes and baby feedings.   We enjoy watching The Biggest Loser on NBC and I got their cookbook last week for my birthday.  I've been on a health food kick all week long, trying to learn as much as I can about healthy cooking and living for my family.  It is a lot of work I tell you!  I never knew how much work was involved with cooking.  It takes a lot of planning before you step food in the grocery store and the dishes!  OMG The dish load is crazy with cooking meals at home!  We used to buy a lot of food out and as the number of children grew we'd just order takeout and bring it home.  Was very costly and not healthy.  I enjoy cooking, it just sometimes won't fit into our very busy lifestyle.  Speaking of...I need to go do some laundry!

Welcome to mindsay!

I am 37 and we have four teenagers. I strive to feed them healthy meals every night, but Friday is "Fend For Yourself Friday".

We recently had to move back into a house we own and was remodeling to sell, it wasn't ready to live in yet, so the process of getting moved into and settled enough, with a kitchen to actually cook in, was all about 3 months. So I'm just starting to get back to healthier meals for the family.

Hi and thank you for the welcome!  I don't look forward to the day we have to move all of this stuff into a new house, but we are outgrowing this one so fast!  When I was young we used to move from house to house and live in them while my dad fixed them up.  It was sort of his hobby/work and then he'd turn around and sell them. I don't know how my mom did it all of those years living in boxes and moving around so much.  I know I couldn't!

Re: My Introduction
Oh my goodness! We would go insane! My husband has been a bit depressed lately, feeling overwhelmed, and not knowing how to fixe things like electric and plumbing, and not having the money to have someone else do it. We have decided that the next house we buy, when kids are gone, (bout 4 or 5 years) will be completely finished!

We moved alot when I was a kid, but that was mostly to excape paying rent. I went to 11 different elementary schools, I hated it, and wanted sooo much different for my own kids. It hasn't been as stable as I had hoped for them, but no where near as bad.

Re: My Introduction
LOL Yeah, my dishwasher (bought within the past year) still doesn't do the work for me!  I usually have to almost completely clean dishes before putting them in it in order to get them clean and I always try to rinse them when they go in the sink so stuff doesn't get stuck on them.  It's too bad too, it was supposed to be a nice dishwasher but I think we got talked into a piece of junk by Bosch!
