I'm Back!

Well almost four years has gone by with no new posts and boy has our life changed!
We now have an almost two year old who is our own little tiny tornado and we couldn't be happier.  I realized that I had completely forgotten my blog and I'm sorry about that.  But I'm back :)

What really made me remember that my blog exists is that I was chosen to test products out for MyMagazine through Kroger, I'll try and post a link.  And when they asked I said of course, because we do most of our grocery shopping there...Hello ClickList!  (And if you haven't used ClickList yet I highly recommend it!  It has saved us a ton of money on impulse buys, and you just sit in your car as everything is loaded up for you!) So anyway, they asked me if they could send me some Kroger brand cookies and fruit snacks I jumped on that.  I am always looking for different snacks to put in my oldest sons lunch and still save money.   #WhereAwesomeMeetsAffordable #MyMagazineSharing #FreeSamp

I'm all about saving my family money since now I am mostly a stay at home mommy again.  I still work at the hospital, but I only work four nights a month and only Friday and Saturday nights.  I love this so much, it has given me so much time to really spend with my boys without being a zombie.  I have tried to use that time to organize the house and keep it neater, notice I said tried 😄.  I do have a schedule that I follow for the most part but right now I am sitting in my living room watching YouTube videos, typing this, reclining in the living room that is a hot mess.  Oh well, even though I try and pick up all the toys during most days at naptime all that is going to happen is he's going to get all the toys back out and all over the place!

I don't really sew too much right now, my sewing/craft area is such a mess and I really need about 2 days all to myself to get it all organized and put together, so maybe in about 10+ years that'll actually happen!  But never fear there's always crafting going on, I just had to learn some new crafts!  I am actually crocheting and knitting now.  And as soon as I get offline I will be back to work on one of the many projects that I have going, all Christmas projects.  I am actually considering casting on another one, but I know I should hold off until at least one going is finished.

And that's what I'm watching on YouTube, I love watching knit and crochet channels and learning new things!  I also find new tools and needles that always go into my wish list.  I just bought a new needle set at my local Hobby Lobby that I can't wait to try out (I was going to try and post a link but I can't find it on their site so I'll put a picture up
).  Its a Knitters Pride set, and it looks so pretty.  It has needle sizes US4 to US11 and four cords so it looks pretty versatile for many projects.  I have a few of their other sets in my wish list that are a little more and my dream set right now are the ChiaoGoo sets, they look amazing!  Their Twist Lace set looks like it would be just right for any kind of project big or small.  Maybe I'll grab a set for my birthday!  I'll keep ya'll posted!

Well I am going to get going on one of my projects and I'll post again soon to update on some of the other things going on with our family and I will definitely let ya'll know how the free samples are, I'm so excited to get those in!!
