Happy New Year!

It probably comes as no surprise that I NEVER make my New Year resolutions happen. After a month or two they get been pushed to the back of my mind and I forget/lose interest. Well ladies and gentlemen I am happy to announce that I earned a big FAIL for my 2013 goal and I couldn't be happier about it!

Announcing baby Edwards #4.
ETA: August 1, 2014
Which for my inevitably means after that date so i'm shooting for 8-6-2014 (8+6=14). All my kids have cool numerical sequences with their birthdays and I hope to keep up the trend for this (probably our last) baby.
As for this years goals I only have two:
1. Grow a healthy baby and stay as healthy as possible myself while doing so.
2. Spend more time loving on my kids and less time getting distracted with household chores/social media/friends.
Happy New Year!

This Is A First.

I actually completed a New Years resulotion! I know, I know, pick up your jaw. Resolution #1: Potty train the Tootsie is complete. It was painless. She was ready and it was a breeze. We started Thursday with Minnie Mouse undies, a Dora The Explorer potty seat and a Costco sized jar of Jelly Bellys. Nora got two jelly beans for trying, three for pee and five for poo. Today is day six and we have only had five accidents and she even sleeps in undies for naps. After day two she only got jelly beans if she actually went and after day three we don't even have to remind her to go anymore, she just goes on her own. I am so proud of my little Tootsie. Oh and if any of you are potty training soon and need a Dora potty seat to put on the big toilet, now that Nora goes on her own she thinks she is too big for it. **Note: A Costco sized jar of Jelly Belly's was a nice treat because I may have rewarded myself everytime we are accident free too. :)

It's Resolution Time Baby.

1. Potty train the Tootsie.
2. Sleep train the Bubba.
That's it ladies and gentlemen. Last year I resolved to stop drinking Diet Coke. I made it until July when we moved and Stella stopped sleeping through the night. And trust me, a lot of D.C. will be needed to get me through this years goals. Bring it on 2012. Bring. It. On.
