So it’s been months since I’ve actually taken the time to update my blog. Life never seems to slow down when you’re raising 4 lil monsters!

We are slowly getting settled in to the new house. Our 7 year old monster is loving her new school. Our oldest monster is doing well in homeschool and starts his first part time job as a dish washer tomorrow at a local diner. Seriously, what happened to that little 4 pound monster I was blessed with 16 years ago? Our toddler monster is constantly up and down the new stairs. And our baby monster is just mastering pulling herself into a standing position. Slow down! This does not have to be a race to see who can grow up the fastest!

I am trying new ways to make this non stop chaotic life a little more manageable. Yesterday I made groceries for 2+ weeks, did I mention making groceries is one of my least fave things to do and I would much rather send my husband to the store with a list? Today I decided while I wore my little monster on my back and was cooking dinner why not multi task a bit more and prep some other meals for later this week or next week and toss them in the freezer? 4 more meals will quickly be able to be dumped in the crock pot now or just heated up…a little extra time with my little monsters each of those 4 afternoons makes this mama smile!
