Just a few snaps from our Christmas, Christmas gift making, and the lovely new year so far.

So, it being the beginning of January and all, I am going to do 10 awesome work out songs. (Considering the plan is to whip my butt into gear!)
They don't have to be my usual music (although that varies, I really do listen to everything), But it really has to make me want to really get into it. If I weren't working out I would be dancing like a mad man or punching people :) I don't really do the latter, ever, So we'll stick with working out!
There are some songs I think are hilarious and am not ashamed to say, they really kick ass as workout songs! Hope you enjoy!

housework, happiness, and finding a balance.

So, the secret is out. Housework sucks. Dishes suck, laundry sucks, dirty floors suck, lack of organization in rooms that desperately need it, sucks. It all just plain sucks.
Yet there it is, day in, day out, staring me down all day while I avoid as much of it as I possibly can.
I have tried to have the clean house, and in all it's neatness, it just lead to stress. I have let things slide for far too long, only to be completely overwhelmed by the amounts of housework to then catch up to live a normal day to day life.
Being at home with children makes housework the equivalent of a dog chasing it's tail. Everyday my home looks like a bomb went off, crumbs in every nook, toys everywhere, clothing strewn, avalanches of books threatening to tumble into a slip and slide. Not to mention the messes that are in a constant state of attempted organization. You know, the piles of clothes you are currently going through, or the holiday decor, or that forever mess of a desk.
Where is the lovely balance that I hear about, is it as mysterious and unseen as the unicorn?

I will make this my goal this year, to find a system of cleaning, tidying, purging. Something that works for us but doesn't take up all of my time and cause to much stress. Wish me luck!!!

A quick apology.

So, I as I miss yet another singing Sunday, I just want to apologize. I have a nasty virus of some sort. I'm still on the fence of wether or not it's a cold or flu.
Anyways, I will do a double post next Sunday, with twice the awesome music.
Been living on this stuff today, what am awesome Christmas present, who knew I'd have it almost all gone before New Years!

In the spirit of Christmastime- Singing Sundays.

So, Taking into account that tomorrow is Christmas eve, This is my top five favorite Christmas songs. You know those ones that make it feel like Christmas, even if it's dreadfully green outside and raining...

Where did the year go?

I cannot believe that it is only a few days till Christmas! I feel like the year just flew by, and I have a feeling that the years will be getting shorter and shorter. Time to enjoy my last 6 months of being in my 20's. yikes!

Finished the boys backpacks last night, they turned out great! If I were to make another I would use a stiffer fabric.

very late- singing sunday

This Very Late singing Sundays double post is going to be a pretty one. The first five are videos I find visually appealing for one reason or another. I apologize for the photo geek in me that can't help but love a video that is lit well.

The second five are the prettiest songs I have listened to in the last few years of my life. The ones that break your heart or make you feel like you are floating on a cloud.
