i'm kirby. wife to william of almost 5 years. mom to brooke (june 2009) and asher (october 2011). i'm a sahm. william installs dental equipment to pay the bills and writes/plays music in his free time. brooke is the typical almost 3 year old girl...sassy, bossy, busy, loud, not potty trained (that last one is probably just for her...she's terrified of the potty). asher is pretty laid back and is a momma's boy (he's usually sitting on my lap when i type these posts). we have a dog (smoke monster), a cat (chuck norris), and brooke has 3 fish (i'm not allowed to clean the fish tank anymore). we live in a tiny house in a cruddy area. we are almost out of debt (just one last student loan and the house left).
this blog will be about my life as a sahm to two young kids, money saving tips, household management tips, projects we're doing (big and small), crafty things, and whatever else comes to mind.
i'm going to start off by doing money saving mom's 4 weeks to a more organized home. she's on day 7 now, but you can find all of the posts here...http://moneysavingmom.com/tag/4-weeks-to-a-more-organized-home i'll post day 1 tomorrow and officially start then.
for now i'm going to be brave and show you pictures of what my house looks like now. i can't believe i'm post them because the house is a wreck! that seems to be a trend in my house ever since asher was born. i can't seem to keep up on everything...hence the name of the blog, chasing yesterday.
the living room. toys are everywhere and the couch need vacuumed bad thanks to the cat.
brooke's room. william made the bed, table, and bookcases. plans for the bed and bookcases can be found on this website...http://ana-white.com/
asher's room. not too bad except for his closet.
this is supposed to be the kids' bathroom, but since they are young and we have a dog it's the cat's room. if you have a cat where do you keep the litter box and food? i'd love to get all their bath toys out of my tiny bathroom!
the master bedroom. a headboard will hopefully be a project soon, but at least we finally have a bed frame! maybe real bedding too. ps making the bed is something i do every single day.
our laundry sorter/linen closet made by william based off plans from http://ana-white.com/2010/11/laundry-basket-dresser
our closet...so much stuff!
see?!
our tiny master bathroom (where asher's doorway jumper lives and where asher was born...on accident). note the pink potty seat that brooke wants nothing to do with. ::sigh::
the kitchen (and brooke) this is always the worst room of the house for me. maybe because i really don't like doing dishes, but i love to cook.
i cleaned out the fridge/freezer yesterday!
the laundry "closet"
the garage. william has all next week off and we're tackling this! hopefully most will be trash or going to goodwill.
ack! my house is a mess! my goal today will be getting it all picked up and ready to start money saving mom's 4 weeks to a more organized home tomorrow.
one last picture for you guys because it might be nice to put a face to all the names :-)
asher is 6 months old now!
brooke
william and brooke at the pumpkin patch.
me doing one of the few things i'm always doing (feeding asher. i also cook, clean, and change diapers)
brooke getting to really see asher for the first time. she was in love instantly and hogged him the rest of the night.
