Inspiration for Home Keeping

I once heard Martha Stewart say Home Keeping not House Keeping because your house is your home. I love that phrase. Since Eli has been in Mother's Day Out Tuesdays and Thursday have been my cleaning days. I drop him off, run whatever errands I have and then come home to clean, clean clean! But lately I have been lacking inspiration or rather motivation. With Spring coming I would normally be knee deep into 2 or 3 major cleaning projects. So here is my question: What keeps you organized? What tips do you have for keeping a neat, clean house with kids? Any tips for Spring Cleaning? I am hoping your comments will get be motivated!

With Love,

Moley Yard

This is the third or fourth year we have had moles. Our yard looks horrible, there are huge mole hills every and I've had enough! So I am asking for any suggestions or referrals of ways or people that will get rid of them. In case you don't know what these horrible creatures look like here is a close up!

I know every creature has a place but not tearing up our yard!

On another unrelated note my sweet Eli is going to be allergy tested tomorrow. I am really really really hoping this gives us some insight into his breathing issues. If we know there is something he is allergic to we can avoid it and maybe come off the Singulair. But for now Singulair is keeping him off alburterol, he has had two colds/running noses and no wheezing! I'll leave you with a more pleasant picture below....

Update on us!!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've written a post about us so here is an update! David is now in private practice at his Dad's office on Main Street. He is also working part time with Child Support prosecuting people that don't pay their child support. I am VERY proud of him!! David is also enjoying playing Call Of Duty Black Ops....alot!!

David's Office Window!

Eli is doing well. He has been sick off and on since October. It started with a cough that quickly got worse. That is when he started albuterol treatments using a nebulizer. Since October he has had several viruses, RSV, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis. His doctor also advised us he has Reactive Airway Disease which is basically "baby asthma". Once he turns two he can be tested for allergies. This might tell us if there is something besides viruses that could be a trigger. He is also trying an every day non-steroid medication to help control the wheezing. On a happier note he is in Mother's Day Out and is doing very well! He wasn't too crazy about the idea at first but it starting to enjoy his new friends.

As for me I am enjoying life as a Momma and wife! I couldn't ask for anything more than my two sweet boys!
