My third mommylution for this year!

Get the kid and hubby to help!

I plan to begin training my son and hubby to take over some of the household chores, such as washing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom, cooking breakfast or dinner, dusting, folding clothes and laundry so that I'm not the only one in the apartment doing these things while two other people lounge around eating junk foods and playing video games haha....

My second mommylution for this year!

Take time for me, among other things.

Time for me, lose more than 10 pounds, organizing, how about organizing did I say that already hahaha, how about time for me, or the 10pounds!

One of my Mommylution for this year!

Never Say Never

I resolve never to say "not my child or " my child will never".....

The one thing that I have learned for the past 5 years of being a mom is that there are no absolutes in this parenting game, and you may find yourself eating your words one day.

You may have the best of intentions but life has a funny habit of getting in the way some times.

So being a mom - I can say the hardest job on the planet! No other job can beat that!!!

8 things to look out for in 2008

And so this is Christmas and what have you done, another year over a new one just began.....

The song is very appropriate looking back at the year about to close, we as a family have a lot to be thankful for, we were able to accomplish a lot of things:

a.) Go on holiday together - since I have never been to Disney it was both a dream come true for me and my son.

b.) Having a car- in our long stay in the states we finally have a car that we can call our own.

c.) Growing up - seeing our son grow up and interact with other kids.

It seems like a short list but I am not a true believer of the " New Years Resolution", I mean why would you make a long list of 20 things to do when you can only really promise to do 5 at most. I am not talking about those lists were you promise yourself a trip to the Bahamas, diving with sharks in South Africa etc. I am thinking about the tangible everyday stuff that we do.

For the coming year I am expecting the following and hoping to do each in turn:

1.) Getting my driver's license

2.) Celebrating our 7th year wedding anniversary

3.) Moving to a bigger and better place.

4.) Preparing for a bigger family with our second child.

5.) Reuniting with my in-laws

6.) My son going to school for Kindergarten

7.) Getting our papers approved

8.) Paying off all our debts.

It is not an exhaustive list just some stuff that I know will make a major impact in our lives this coming year, through all the blessings that we received there is only one above us who we will
always be thankful for, Almighty God.

Hoping that the coming year bring you good fortune and the blessings of God.
