My house is a wreck.

Today I am having a great day. 

Despite the fact that there are mountains of laundry that need to be folded (at least they're all clean,) the dishwasher needs to be loaded, and I need to start preparing for supper - all I can think about is how happy I am to be spending this beautiful day with my son. 

We went for a walk this morning, well...I walked and he rode his nifty new trycicle.

We watched Bolt, which is a super cute Disney film about a dog who triumphs in the end, of course, and now he is napping and I am Facebooking/blogging. 

As simple as all of these things are that have made my mood so bright today, I think they need to be mentioned. We get so caught up in the bad of the world sometimes that we don't stop to see the simple happiness that is right in front of our faces. 

Whatever you do, do so with JOY. 

The loads of laundry means I have a house full of people I love. 

The need to cook supper every night means that we are all together around the dinner table. 

The diaper laundry means that I have a beautiful healthy baby boy

And the need to sit on the couch and relax at the end of the day...

That just comes with the job.

Am I really doing this?

Well, I have always wanted to start a blog, but I've never really had much to talk about! Now that I am married, a mom, a housewife, etc. I feel like maybe, just MAYBE someone out there might want to hear (or read, rather) what I have to say!
My life in a nutshell:
I am a mother to a beautiful ten month old little boy, wife to a wonderful husband who works very hard to provide for us and make it to where I am able to stay home with our son, a housewife, and so on.
I have a rather small side of the family and Chris (hubby) has a pretty large side, so we are with family frequently, which I love for our son, Max!
We have recently, since Max was born, turned over a new leaf and started moving towards being as "green" and organic of a family as possible! We try our best to eat healthy, which has proven to be a HARD habit to break, we make our own soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, etc. I VERY rarely buy cleaning products,but there are some I just can't resist! We cloth diaper Max and LOVE that, have chosen, at least for now, to be a one vehicle family, we have a small, and I mean SMALL 8ftx8ft garden, but we hope to have a HUGE (to us) one acre garden one day with another few acres for free range chickens and maybe a cow, or pig, or any edible grass fed livestock...but DEFINITELY I have to have my chickens!
We are buying our first home now, a trailer,large and nice, but still a trailer and it is only on about 1/3 of an acre, so we are very limited in what we can do and the place we live is very regulated about no outside animals and such, but once this is paid off (in just a few years) we plan on selling it and using that money toward the down payment on a home with much much more land!
Soooooo, that's us!

Bye bye for now!
