Babysitting

I have been babysitting to bring in some extra money and we have so much fun with our "extras"! We have Logan on Saturdays and Colton and Avery during the week (and their brother Caden when he has days off school)

Logan will be two in March and he is such an easy going little boy. He loves to play inside and out and loves trucks.

Caden is in kindergarten at a different school than Gracie and loves sports. He will bring his basketball and he and I have challenges of who can make the most baskets. The kid is competitive to a T!

Colton is 4 and goes to preschool three mornings a week. This kid is fun to have around and has the biggest heart. He will sit and do a puzzle and will play baby dolls with Charlotte. Then they will imagine and play where he is Darth Vader and she's Elsa and they battle each other

Avery is almost 5 months old and is just as sweet as she is cute. It's a lot of fun to have a baby in the house again...plus I get to give her back at the end of the day! It's fun to watch her grow and bomb her mom Amber's phone with pictures of her every day while she's missing her at work.

Why Can't Keep up?

I don't know why I have had such a hard time keeping our blog updated.  I fully realize I have slacked.  I have the App on my phone which makes it easier do you would think I would have posts every day! BUT sometimes the post fails to upload and I get frustrated and give up.  Technology and I are not the greatest friends!

Lately I have struggled a little with who I am and acceptance.  If I am being completely honest I still struggle with demons of self worth and being good enough in the eyes of others.  At 33 that sounds pretty darn pathetic.  I don't know why, and it causes me to get my feelings hurt so easily by nothing I have personally done.  For this reason I need to be posting on here more rather than Facebook and Instagram where every post has people liking it.  I find myself basing my self worth on the likes and comments on my stuff.  I find myself comparing to others who get more than I do.  It's dumb I know.

I started this blog for our faraway friends but sometimes it's more therapy for me just to get the words out.

With that said...here goes nothing.  My goal is at least three posts a week. I can do this!
