Its a new year and a new journey!

Well here I am sitting here on the 2nd of January watching what is probably the best movie for me at this time Eat Pray Love. I say this sort of half joking and also with complete seriousness! In this movie I am watching Julia Roberts embark on the journey of a lifetime, she travels, she eats and learns to really love, laugh and live. So at this moment your probably wondering why I think this is the perfect movie for me right now well here it goes, this is the perfect movie for me because it embodies the act of active change and that is what this next year is going to be about for me. This next year is going to be about change, actively changing the financial place my family is in so my husband and I can enjoy each other in the quite momments instead of silently worrying how to pay the next bill. I want to laugh more, I want to love more, and I want to live more I want to make a list of things to do by myself and with my amazing family so that we will truly enjoy every moment of the year which will inturn teach us how to live our lives for the rest of our lives. In the end what I am really looking for from this year is true joy, I want to truly enjoy my childrens smile when my stress level is maxed out, I want to enjoy my husbands kisses when I am mad at him and I want to enjoy waking up in th em morning when all I can do is think about sleeping. I think this year has a lot in store for me and even more for my little family and it makes me so excited to see what this journey will look like. So as I go through this year of change I am going to document it with pictures some call it a picture a day I call it a pictures through the journey! So please join me as I embark on my journey, enjoy the pictures leave comments and make yourself at home. You may have entered this blog as a stranger but please make yourself at home as my friend!

I really should be sleeping instead im blogging

Where does the time go? I think that every mother can agree it seems like yesterday that we were battling to keep our eyes open at a red light because the baby kept you up all night. For me it was just yesterday my little guys are still bad sleepers go figure I think God missed the memo that these parents needed their sleep in order to function and gave us the kids that needed no sleep in order to function that or God just has a really sick sense of humor some times. I will go with the first option. Okay I seem to be going off task here, as I was saying before,where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that my little guys were just little guys now they aren't so little.

While I was at work the other day my husband decided to take the kids to the park to teach them to play football which all in all makes me the proudest mom in the whole entire world and my husband knows that. Well I think practice went a lot better then ever intended because my two year olds came out looking like little professional football players. As I was going through all the pictures that my husband got of the boys playing football together I never thought to myself aww look at the babies, I thought to myself oh wow these are pictures that I can show to them when they are trying out for a team one day whether it be high school, college or professional so that they can see where it all started from. These are just two of the pictures from that day Keigen looks like he is the heismen trophey and Kayson looks like he is the Quarter back.


These pictures make me happy and sad all at the same time. Its the realization that my little boys are growing up and as any mom can probably attest to thats scary! Well I think just as all the moms before me have done I will hold my head high, take a deep breath, say a little prayer and pray that they live through the football stage :)!

Signing off for now

Take the day and make it great! :)
(I will try and take my own advise today:)!

I really should be cleaning

I have been talking about blogging for years and for some reason today I decided I would do it. I don’t know if it’s because I am avoiding the ever growing mound of dishes that are calling my first and last name from the place that used to be called a sink that my two year olds like to call the trash can now. Or if it’s because I am avoiding the ever growing mess my two year olds are making behind my back while I am currently making this wonderful blog. Or if was the loud screaming in my head that said its time to start typing it might clear your head. So I decided to sit down and start typing, I guess every blogger has to have a start at some point I guess today is mine and let me tell you I am actually really really excited. So let’s get the stories started!



My life is a whole lot of craziness full of love, laughter, a few tears here and there and a whole lot of belly laughs. I have good days and bad days and some days where I think a double dose of Prozac just might get me through the day and I have days where I am pretty sure it’s not going to get me through the day but I am sure amongst all of this I am no different than any other wife, mother, daughter, sister, employee or neighbor that you all have I have just decided to write about it.



Maybe some of you can understand where I am coming from when I say that I have very few talents, and none that are going to make me rich. This is my one and only attempt at possible fame and no fortune hahaha. I am simply okay with this. I am a story teller by nature as my husband would be glad tell you. I love story time in the Snyder house (that’s usually the time when my husband has just come home from work i.e. the worst possible time for story time) my husband doesn’t love story time so much. I think this is why he is so supportive of my new found love for blogging. So please join me on my journey as I story tell, journal, talk about my crazy life, talk about motherhood, rant about husbands, jabber about life and simply make funny ramblings about the things we often think about but never think we should actually say!



Signing out for now!

Take the day and make it great! :)
