You can call me Penny…Penny Pincher.

I am not ashamed to admit that I like to cut costs! With a new baby and a trip back home in the near future I am putting my abilities to the test! I have decided to try to make my own household cleaners, including refilling my Swiffer Wet-Jet with a homemade solution. That’s right, I have no shame. 
Updates will follow to let you all know just how well things pan out and maybe even some recipes for those of you brave enough to accept the challenge! Double-dog dare ya!
Along with my quest for frugal cleansing, I (with the help of my mother-in-law) planted a small herb garden that I couldn’t be more proud of! My next outdoor project: pretty flowers.
Along with frugal cleansing and a beautiful patio, I have decided to make a serious scrapbook-baby book for chubbybubby. Mema was kind enough to leave robot fabric with us and I plan to give his scrapbook a fluffy fabric covering I’ve been writing down page ideas and I can’t wait to get started. A couple teasers: wolfpack page, growing pregnant belly page, marine baby page (complete with adorable photos of our son in Daddy’s stuff), all sorts of fun things like hospital bracelets and umbilical cord clamps. I’m just getting started.
Along with frugal cleansing, a beautiful patio, and sweet memorabilia, my 6week check-up is next Wed. and that marks day one of P90X. I’m jumping on that bandwagon like it’s my ride to freedom, and technically it is… freedom of post-baby body. Before you remind me that it happens all in good time and he was worth it, I know this. I know it, believe it, and intend to lose it slowly but surely. In fact, I plan to go beyond what is expected…who wants pre-baby when you could go pre-marriage?! I love being married but something about knowing he loves me for who I am, not how I look, didn’t keep me in tip-top shape. It’s a mystery… Anyway, I’m shooting for my ball-playing days, it’ll take a while but I can do, I will do it.
So I leave you to go tackle some projects and feed my ever-growing little man! All my love XOXO
whataya waitin' for? Get to it!
Good luck with the scrapbooking sweetie and be sure to send pics. I bet it’s going to be adorable, that is if you find time to really do it, lol. He going to start getting that really active stage before long and all the crawling and such. Bradley never did crawl. He belly scooted everywhere. It was amazing how fast he could go on his belly. His little arms in front of him and pulling him. I know LITTLE arms but believe me he was little at one time…..lol. Love you kids and miss you bunches….
p90x is amazing!!!
I’m feeling inspired. Let me know how the homemade cleaning products go. I’ve also had the itch to start PX90. (And girl-if you’ve learned nothing else from my blog-you know the breastfeeding diet will help immensely with the weight loss.) Hope you’re enjoying your little man! His expression in that pic reminds me of a face Henry would make…so suspicious!
