Nap time.

Lets be honest here, as much as we love spending time playing with our babies and making them laugh, we love nap time just as much. Nothing wrong with that. Babies need sleep and mommas need mom time to do whatever.

once Averie turned 2 months old, she would not take a nap longer than 15 minutes, a few times a day. I could never get anything done or even take a nap myself which we all know is what most of us moms want/need. Just a few weeks ago she started taking two, hour and a half to two hour naps a day. I was beginning to think that she would never take naps.

Today she fell asleep for her first nap and I decided I was going to clean my kitchen and living room which is strange because I usually choose to nap with her. I guess I had more energy today. Haha.
A lot of the times when I choose to nap with her, it seems like she knows I am trying to sleep too and then wakes up and wants to play. Pretty much every time!

Although this quote is funny, it does not work with my daughter.
I think she can sense when I am awake or in the room. 

So, during nap time today, I did not nap. I actually accomplished something. I finally got my kitchen cleaned...just for it to be messed up by tomorrow. I have a love/hate relationship with cleaning! When you live with boys and dogs, you pretty much have this kind of relationship with cleaning anything!


This is what I was working with earlier. There are actually far more dishes than shown here; pans that were left on the stove from last nights spaghetti dinner. I hate washing pans. They.Are.Evil. Oh and so are bottles. Washing bottles suck. As much as I love the Dr. Brown's bottles, they have to be the worst ones to clean ever! I only have 6, so I wash bottles everyday!


Here is the finished product. I really just hid everything in the dishwasher... Just joking. I've thought about though, not gonna lie but I would be the one who has to clean it later. Again, a love/hate relationship.

I also managed to clean the living room, clean out the fridge, and put clean towels away. All during nap time!

I now wish I would have taken a nap with Averie. She is WIDE awake and isn't going to sleep until bedtime around 9 or 10 pm.
By the time I get the rest of the house cleaned, the rooms I first cleaned will be dirty again.
Sounds about right.

Married To A Mechanic: 8 things to expect. 🔧

Since I've started blogging, I've only blogged about my husband personally like once or twice, so this is dedicated to my mechanic husband. Erich has been working on cars since he was about 14 years old, so 20 years. He does it for a living but on diesels. He does it in hi spare time as well so basically, all the freaking time. Here's what to expect if you date a mechanic. Car Talk Mechanics talk about cars like 24/7; Parts, make and model, they even try to explain to you how certain parts work. If you tell them you don't understand, they will explain again, in depth with more detail, which is even more confusing. Either go on Google and learn a little bit or pretend you understand what they are talking about. Oil & Grease White anything is against any mechanics beliefs. I have to clean the walls, counters, appliances, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING at minimum of 3 times a week. They are usually covered from head to toe in oil and grease. Honestly, I thin...

Spring Time Means Allergies!

Sprint time is the worst season for me. I hate this season honestly. My allergies are horrible during spring, like when I say horrible, I mean face swollen, constant nose blowing. The whole awful nine yards. Just the other day, I swear I sneezed about a million and one times and then lost my voice. We just moved into a house that had ben vacant for two months before we moved in, so there was two months of dust accumulated on the floors and walls. Needless to say, my first day in our new house consisted of a lot of sneezing and wheezing. Since spring is just around the corner and that means so are allergies, I made a list of home remedies for allergy relief that has really helped me and hopefully will help you too. Honey Local raw honey, it builds your immune system up to what's around you. You can get this at places like Whole Foods. Make sure it is local honey though.
