Potty Training. Shoot. Me. Now.

Raise your hand if you love potty training your children!! Now use that hand to slap yourself.. This process is NOT fun. lol My almost 2 year old has begun to show interest in using the porcelain pot.

Yay Me!.. Not.

While there are perks to potty training, I loathe the whole process. You know, the zillion trips to the bathroom, only for him to pee on the floor instead of in the toilet. I know once I can call quits to buying diapers and wipes and put up the all-in-two cloth diapers, I will appreciate potty training much more. But.. We still have a long road ahead with this kiddo.. 

I'm hoping that he will catch on pretty fast by being around his big brother and seeing how he uses the pot. 

Wish us luck, and say a prayer that I keep my sanity!

2016, nowhere to go, but up!

        Here we are, almost a full week into the New Year! How many of you have already thrown your resolutions out the window? Yeah, that's why I am not one for making a list of resolutions. My "goal" for this year is to be MOTIVATED.

 2015 was so draining for me, financially, physically, mentally and spiritually..I was so glad for that year to end!! I want to be motivated in every aspect of my life.

 My husband and I are going to try to shift into a semi-minimalist lifestyle. I mean, seriously. I have probably 200+ articles of clothing and only wear about 25 of those. It's so wasteful. I have already donated two huge boxes of clothes to the Salvation Army a couple weeks ago.. What are your favorite charities to donate to? We have a local women's shelter but I literally cannot find their drop off location.

Also this year, I am going to try to get back into the work force. I hate that I haven't worked in FIVE YEARS! I went to type up my resumè and well, that was disheartening. However, I haven't given up! I just need to make some tweaks, and find some phrases to use that pretty much glam up the basics. We all do it.. Don't judge me.
