HolyMoly!

I can not believe I haven't posted since September! Thats crazy, I feel like I am always online for some reason and it does not seem like its been since September that I posted. Wow!

So much has changed and Jewels is growing up so fast! I cannot begin to tell you how many times shes had to stick her nose to the wall today for that little attitude that she must have gotten from her Dad! LOL

I've also started a new business with Arbonne. I am so excited about this and have learned so much about what we put on our selves and in our mouths! Its insane. More about that later.... glad I found my way back. Talk to you soon!

My MisAdventures as a Housewife

That is what I should change my blog name to, My MisAdventures as a Housewife. I am new to being a housewife, well I like to still think I that I am new to it, I've been home with our daughter since May and I still can not get a routine down, my house is always a mess and sometimes I'm not organized enough to make dinner! My poor husband, works all day and all he wants to do is come home to a decently cleaned home and dinner and I can't do it. WHAT IS WRONG?!?! I wish there was a manual for stuff like this, is it supposed to come natural to me as a woman? I thought it would but no, its not.

On the other hand, I have recently obsessed with The Pioneer Woman, I am completely fascinated with how Ree Drummond can cook, home school, do photography, write, blog, CLEAN all while taking care of a huge home and lodge. How does she do it? Please tell me she has help. She is my inspiration. What an amazing writer and woman. I will someday be as awesome as she!

tata for now!

Gluten Free Eating

Hmm.....I really am contemplating switching to gluten free eating. Why not? There is a lot of hype about gluten free eating and a lot of material saying that it is better for you - but is it? I don't think that it would be that hard to switch for us being we are weird eaters anyway, just more expensive. Bryan's mom volunteers for the food bank in her area and gets some things for working, one of which is bread and it helps out a lot especially with how much my family eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I have a freezer full of bread, 99% of which is wheat. If we switch to GF then I can not use any of it, I would probably save if for emergencies. What do you think?

Fill It In Friday

1. The most spontaneous thing I've ever done was a midnight road trip to California with my cousin, Telly. We drove through the night, spent the day at driving to Hollywood and getting kicked out of Tiffany’s on Rodeo Dr then the next day we went to Disneyland all day and came home that night. That was before kids and boys.

2. The best gift I've ever received was my daughter, Jewellee.

3. A time that I was truly and genuinely surprised was when I was throwing a surprise party for a friend and it turned out see was throwing one for me, at the same time!

4. I can't leave the house without my cell phone and mascara .

5. My favorite day of the week is Saturday because it's a day full of possibilities. It's the one day where you can go yard sale-ing, or to a farmers market, anything you want .

6. Something that can always make me laugh is youtube!

7. My perfect day would include sleeping in 'til 9, but staying in bed reading a book until 10. Going to breakfast with Bry and Jewels. Then getting coffee and walking around downtown and stopping in all the little shops. Then going home and having a dinner party with friends and watching a movie. Simple, but sweet .

Vent

I need to vent, normally I keep most of everything to myself but I can't take it anymore and just need to get it out.

I am pissed. I mean really pissed. My mom left my Dad about at month ago, a couple days after she left my Dad I found out she has a boyfriend who is a dick, excuse my language. He's been married twice and had a girlfriend when I found out about him. HELLO Mom do you not see the red flags here? What an idiot, yes I called my mom and idiot. My parents have been married for 35 years, that is over half their lives and yes people fall out of love but that doesn't mean get a boyfriend and move out MOM. Marriage is hard, you have to work on it, you don't just walk out when times get tough. Talk about tough times, my mom and dad are gamblers, serious gamblers, they lost the house that my dad built for them because mom my screwed up so much they lost it and now for the past two years have been living in a trailer. My mom has been listened to her cackling hen friends about leaving my dad because she'll never win over the beer can, which is not true because he gave that up years ago for her. She disgusts me. She is in such a hurry to get a divorce from my dad because of this guy. I want to puke right now just thinking about all of this. I'm so mad that she would leave because she found a loser who has a gambling problem himself and will screw her. Screw that - screw the whole situation. She better not come running to me after he's beat her or left her for someone else. I will turn away and move on, just like she's doing. I know this is harsh but I seriously can't stand the situation. I'm done.

Wow, I feel better. I think I'll call her now and tell her all of this. Wish me luck.

The real Fill It In Friday

1. My plans this summer include staying indoors as much as possible during the day, its too hot to be outside during the day .

2. The best summer I ever had was when I was twelve and got to stay at summer camp in a town away from my own, I got to be my own person.

3. Summer is popsicles, fireworks, bare feet, fresh fruit, too hot and can be miserable in Arizona .

4. My favorite summer food is a burger right off the grill...or a fresh peach from Apple Annies straight off the tree, those are the best peaches.

5. The best way to quench a summer thirst is with a mojito. It's pretty much the most delicious thing ever. Sans the alcohol – lemonade spritzer.

6. My summer uniform consists of jeans and a t-shirt, once I lose weight it will be nothing but cotton, flowy dresses .

7. The best thing about summer is the opening of Apple Annies orchard and produce farm, heaven to me is walking onto the orchard first thing in the morning and smelling the fresh peaches, amazing .

Fill It In Fridays

I know today is not Friday but I love Fill It In Fridays so much that I'm going to do one today and one tomorrow :)

1. When I'm nervous I chew the inside of my cheeks. I scratch my head, embarrassing .

2. My favorite item in my closet is my forever21 super thin jacket, so thin you can see through it .

3. Watching the Food Network is my favorite thing to do when I need to relax.

4. My favorite childhood memory is camping every weekend at the Fish Hook .

5. Something you may not know about me is that I'm quarter native-american. Most people guess Irish...or just white. I don't blame them...I'm pretty pasty .

6. A true friend will tell you when you have food stuck in your teeth or when an outfit is "less than flattering". They'll laugh with you, cry with you, and will drop everything to have coffee with you when you're having a bad day .

7. Something I hope people think of when they think of me is that I am genuine and kind...and if they think I'm fun...that would be a bonus :) .
