Ocean Breeze in November

Can I just say it's amazing living so close to the beach

I can not wait for spring and summer to get here

While my parents were down we got to take them by one of the closest beaches to us, just to get a little peek at it.

And boy am I in love., so peaceful,

 so clean and love hearing the sound of the ocean 

How crazy is it all of this is happening in November after Thanksgiving

We are getting comfortable with our new digs

found a church we like, and the kids enjoy going to

I feel like the next chapter of our lives has started

but in the midst of our happiness a stress hangs over our head

hubbys job (of which is the whole reason we moved here) is in limbo

no constant paycheck no sense of security

fear of the total unknown 

pretty bummed and scared 

hoping to push thru and get to where we need & want to be

We have a lot to be thankful for

our family & friends (who support us)

our beautiful children who makes us laugh everyday

Scenes from Turkey Day

Thought I would share some photos from our Thanksgiving dinner.,

Alot of it was spent outside watching the kids to this

While big kids assisted as they trampled through the rough stuff

Love the mane and the flannel

The little wanted to go like the big kids :( 

but settled for being a co pilot

I have to say again it was nice to celebrate with family

some close and some from far away

I can gladly say I am thankful for alot this year

Cyber Monday

Sorry it's been quiet here on the blog

It's so nice to have company. We were lucky enough to have

friends one weekend and my parents for the other and for Thanksgiving :)

Hope everyone had a great turkey day

We spent our first Thanksgiving in our New Home, in Our New State with family

Yay! the best way to spend it, I couldn't think of a better way

The in between

Things are going pretty good here, 

I am finding my way around town and feeling more confident

 running around just me and the kids

I have caught up on putting stuff away I feel like the remaining stuff

in storage is either garage stuff or a few pieces of furniture.

Working on decorating some to make it feel more like home

and organizing and reorganizing office room stuff

Excited for upcoming visitors this week

My girlfriend and her husband are coming to stay for the 

weekend! Yay

Then Thanksgiving week my parents are coming down

We are going to host Turkey day dinner., Pretty stoked 

My bro and his crew will be joining us

Something about family and Holidays make me feel content

My Girl

Thinking about my girl today how much she's changed over the past two months., she's still my perky spunky monkey. You never know what is going to come out of her mouth never. 

Before we left home for NC her and I got to spend a week alone just her and I

By alone I mean I was done working and she was done daycare. So every morning we packed up and took the lil guy to daycare and headed out to run errands, hit the park, hit the beach for sea glass hunting. You name it we did it that week. 

Moving has been a big adjustment for her

And so far she's done great

I know she misses her friends at preschool

She's on 2 waiting lists here, We have met some kids

down the street and at the park & at sunday school

The whole stay at home mom think is harder than it looks

Trying to get moving stuff done, normal household things

and keeping them entertained is enough

But I feel like I am not devoting enough time for both or for each individually

or doing preschool like learning activities with Maddie

thanks for listening :)

don't you love her socks I let her do her own thing 

Tis almost time

Check out these Christmas goodies I just added to my Etsy shop

I have a couple more things to I mean well a ton to add 

I have purged a lot of stuff., reduced a lot of collections.

Kind of reminds me of my parents., they don't like to decorate or even put up

a Christmas tree. This is so them! haha
