That's a Wrap!

I swear I blinked January 1 and now it's December 31. The truest statement known to man is the days take forever but the years fly by. It's hard to believe we're all going to wake up tomorrow and realize we don't have a new calendar ;) But for real....I don't have my new calendar yet.

Something I always find entertaining about the new year celebration is we all start out the year deciding to change who we are. We're going to get our finances in order by creating the perfect balanced budget, we're going to have an immaculate BH&G worthy home, and you ain't seen fit until you've seen us in the new year. We set ourselves up for failure. Then we end up hating ourselves by mid January because we've failed at everything. Next thing you know we're drowning our sorrows in a tub of ice cream while we online shop for pretty things that make us happy.

That's why this year, I've decided that I'm just going to keep on being a big old cluster eff of awesome. No need to change anything here. My house will still be an organized disaster, I'll still be overweight, and my savings account will still be humble.

First Post

I've thought (and unsuccessfully dabbled) in the world of blogging before. I've always thought I needed a specific theme, my kids, our hobbies, weight loss, something of substance. Maybe just the mundane daily stuff is blog worthy as well. I like to document my family's  life. Little things that are big things. Ya know...all that fun stuff!

So let me introduce myself. My name is Stacey, I'm a mom to 2 boys aged 5 & 8, a wife, a student, and a preschool teacher. I absolutely love my job and the constant challenges and changes that come along with it. Our boys are total opposites. I always say our oldest is an old soul, aged beyond his years. He feels and understands what most adults struggle with. He's very sensitive to what others are feeling and often will meet them at their feelings. It's pretty amazing actually. Our youngest on the other hand, this is his first time at the rodeo, and we wouldn't have it any other way. He sees the humor in everything and is always there to lighten the mood exactly when it's needed. He's expressive and animated. You can tell by the look on his face exactly what he's feeling at any time. He's the yin to his brother's yang.
