Long overdue 7 Quick Takes

1.  I have been in a blogging slump lately.  I think I have been a little depressed about not having enough storage to post pictures and so I just gave up.  Maybe I will have to purchase more space.  We will see. 

2.  Our baby girl is going to be 2 years old on Friday!  I cannot even believe it.  She is getting so big!  We are having a Dora (D, D, Dia) birthday party for her this weekend.  Mainly just a family party, but she does have 2 friends coming too :).  We can't wait to celebrate her beautiful life this weekend.

3. Joey has been talking so much more.  I love learning more about him and having conversations with him.   He is such a sensitive, loving kid.  He has strong opinions lately and I love hearing them (most of the time).  He truly makes my life brighter.

4.  I started working on Saturdays at an hourly childcare center.  We are starting to pay off our school loans and I thought it would be nice to bring in a little extra to put towards bills, savings, or whatever we may need to pay. Plus I love getting out once a week for a few hours and interacting with others.  Cory loves his time with the kids and they do too. 

5. I will be in Seattle for about 2 weeks in April/May so I can watch my sisters girls while she is away in France.  If you live in Seattle, lets plan some playdates while I am there.  Or just hang outs if you don't have kids :). 

6. Cory and I have decided to establish date nights back into our life again.  With the move, routines got jumbled and we were not making time for each other.  Now that we have a set babysitter we are getting out of the house 2-3 times a month and on the off weeks doing a date night in the house after kids are in bed.  It has been really fun to look forward to each week.  I have been trying to think of creative things to do on our dates.  Any suggestions?

7.  I used to despise Mondays.  Now that I am a stay at home mom, I love them.  If I am not feeling well, I can stay in my pj's most of the day (or all day) and just play with my kids.  They are growing so fast and I want to enjoy each moment I have with them.  So....today is Monday and that is exactly how I will spend it.  Happy Monday to you all!

  1. Hey Athena, have you tried resizing your pictures? I've had a couple of friends run into the space issue but I never did. I think it's because I resize (or usually just take screen shots of my images before loading those to the blog. I do this because my camera generates huge images that take up tons of space, so making them smaller = uploading to blogger takes shorter time.)

    Anyway, I heard that two other people used this work-around (making images smaller) and it worked for them!

    Good luck!
