This is now going to be a Mommy blog!

As I read so many blogs for ideas and inspirations, there are many times that I'd like to link to those and show what we are doing as a family, but I really didn't have a blog. This was started to share with our family and friends about our journey bringing Reese home from Haiti. I guess I could start another blog under a different name, but I kinda like the name of this one, so I'm going to stick here.

This probably won't be a terribly interesting blog! :-) It is going to be more like an on-line journal of my crazy, multi-tasking brain. Right now I am very interested in minimalism. I'm super tired of cleaning all the time. Yesterday the light bulb went off and I realized that if we didn't have so much stuff, I wouldn't have to be picking it up all the time. I am ready to get rid of just about everything. The first thing to go is a ton of stuff in my kitchen. I love to entertain, so I keep lots of stuff around for that. The truth of the matter is, with five kids, my days of entertaining are very far and few between. I am getting rid of all my dishes except for one set for each member of the family which will be color-coded. My nieces and nephews are here a lot, so I'm going to keep a color-coded set for them in their bins in my mudroom. I will keep paper plates and cups on hand for guests.

I also hope to post preschool ideas, link to my other site about adoption, share recipes, birthday party ideas, and if I get brave enough: my weight loss journey.
