April's Cozy Internet Home

Wow!!  It has been really busy in the Worley house.

For Valentine’s Day, Brent and I went to Tunica with my mom and dad.  We had a great weekend!!  It is nice to get away for a few days and have some grown up time.  The other thing is being able to go out to dinner and not take 2 girls potty 3 or 4 times while trying to have dinner.

After we got back from a weekend getaway.   I went to the doctor because I have had a horrible cough and could not shake it.  I had been taking some over the counter stuff and it was not helping.  So I went to the doctor and I have exercised induced asthma and an allergy to something.  The doctor is thinking the alergy is to my dog.

So I am on an alergy medicine and an inhaler for two weeks then they will evalute what to do from there.  So it may mean getting rid of the dog.  Which I have mixed feelings about. 

We have also done Savannah dedication at church.  This was a very special day for our family.  Not only did we have the dedication but our pastor did our house blessing.  He spoke some thing to us that Brent and I needed to hear for a while.  It was the confirmation we needed in our family for a while.  I love when you have been praying for things and the confirmation just happens!!  God is so great!!

Also last week was my last week to keep the little girl I had been keeping for a while.  It was something that our family has needed for a while.  Now I am going to be a true stay at home mom again.  I know my girls are so happy!!  I will also be Brent build our home business.

This week Brent and I are flying to Houston Thursday afternoon for a Zurvita Convention.  I am so excited because I have never been to one with him.  I am ready to learn more about the business so I can help him build our business. 

I will posted about the convention when we get back. 

Hope everyone has a blessed week!!

As you know I am from Arkansas.  Most of the winters we have do not consist of lots of snow.  But this year it has.  This week is the second big snow we have gotten in several several years.

The snow is very pretty! 

 However, it is not something  I am considering to keep around much longer.  My girls are on there second snow day this week and it has already been canceled for tomorrow.  Granted they only go to preschool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  So, as of right now they may only go one day this week.  They are really starting to cabin fever. 

The girls enjoyed the snow the last time  we got our first big snow.  They made snow angels, snow ball fights and built a cute little snow girl with Brent.  We could not keep them inside.  After we got them inside we made hot chocolate and smores!  Yummy!!  

But now, they really are not interested in it.  Brent and the girls went outside yesterday and played for about 30 minutes or so.  I also wrapped up Savannah and we stood in the garage and watched it snow and the girls running and playing!! 

Today, I figured they would want to go out and play but as of 4:00 pm neither one of them have asked to go outside and play.  Brooklyn has said more than once lately that she is ready to go to the beach!  A girl after my own heart!!

After Tori wakes up from her nap I did tell them we would make snow ice cream so we will have to go out and collect some snow!

I enjoy being a stay at home mom but I also enjoy the girls have preschool for half days!  It gives us all a small break!!  Please no more SNOW!!   If we keep having snow days, I am going to need some ideas for these girls not to get cabin fever!

Most of you don’t know but I have been a stay at home mom since Brooklyn was born in October 2005.  Me being a stay at home mom is something Brent and I decided not long after we got married.  We had decided that when we had kids we didn’t want other people raising them.  Times have not always been easy but it always works out.  Brent is a great husband and is always trying to find something to make our family better.

Since Brooklyn was born, I have not worked outside the home.  I have however worked.  We decided that I would keep children in our home.  Keeping children in our home seemed to be the best for us, it allows me to stay home with our girls and bring in some income.   

But Brent and I want more for our family.  I am not just talking about $$.  I am talking about the freedom our family can have.  Time freedom is a big deal for us.  We would love to be able to travel more with our girls.  Our girls love the beach (they get it honest) because I would love to live there!  Brent knows this and we even have picked out our beach home and it is on our dream wall in his office.

Brent was always looking for ways that we could do all this.   He has found a home business that he has been working for 2 years I believe.  We decided that 2010 would be the best year of our families lives.  So, to do this I have decided to help him in anyway I can to build our business.  Right now I am only writing articles for him and he does the rest.  I hope to learn more about the business so I can help him more.  Eventaully, I will be able to help him more and stop having childcare in our home.   

I know if we work together we can achieve anything we want.  We want to be home together all the time and be able to travel as much as we want.  There are many other things we want to be able to do for people and ministries. 

I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband!  I know that God has huge plans for my family! 

If you would like to be a stay at home mom or family please let me know I would love to share the information with you.  There is more to life then a 40 hour a week job, a boss your have to answer to (other than God) and someone else raising your kids.

Wow!!  Where does the time go?  The first month of 2010 is over half way over.  

We started out the new year have all 3 girls sick.  They all 3 have never been sick at the same time.  Being a stay at home mom you don’t realize how hard it is when you have all 3 kids sick.  We didn’t leave the house for 2 weeks.  Talking about going nuts and having bad cabin fever.  Well, that is what the girls and I had.  Brent was working many hours during those 2 weeks so it was really rough. 

After everyone was well, Brent and I got a night with no kids.  We got to go out on a dinner date and got some much need sleep.  Then the day they came home I got the house cleaned and laundry caught up.  You would think that it would be easy for a stay at home mom to do but it is hard when you have 3 girls at home.  It was much easier while they were gone.    I love my girls but the break was needed for me and I am sure for them. 

One thing that I have started since the first of the month is exercising and eating better.  I am not doing this to lose weight but to tone and feel better about myself.  This is something that I am having to work really hard on because of a few reasons:  I enjoy eating things that are not great for me and I have never really enjoyed exercising.  I am exercising in the mornings and I have to admit I am feeling better when I do.  Don’t tell Brent because he would say told you so.  I have been exercising for 3 weeks and can already see a difference in my body.  I think Brent enjoys seeing the results on me as well! ;)  I will let you know how the exercising and eating healthier go.  Maybe we can share some recipes. 

Brent and I have some exciting things we are wanting to do for/with our family this year.  I will keep you posted on these events I’m sure.  We are praying for great things for our family this year.  I will also be in prayer for you and your family. 

Many Blessings to Everyone this year!

The weekends in our house are always busy but this past weekend it was really busy from Friday afternoon until late Sunday night.

Friday, Brent and I had been married for 8 years. We had decided to just hang out with some close friends.  So we ordered dinner from my favorite Mexican restaurant and had a quiet evening at home.  We got the girls down early and just had some adult time to talk and hang out.  Which is something we rarely get to do.  We were talking and look up and it was 1:30 in the morning. 

As normal our girls woke up and ready to start their day around 6:40.  So not much sleep for us.  Our girls have not learned that on Saturday they are suppose to sleep in. 

Saturday was also Brooklyn’s birthday.  My first baby girl turned 4 on Saturday.  Brooklyn has been wanting to get her hair cut so Saturday morning I had scheduled for the two of us to go get haircuts.  So at 9:45 we went and go our hair cuts.  She smiled the whole time she was in the chair.  She was so excited! 

While we were getting our hair done.  Brent and some friends of our family were replacing two rows of tiles in our kitchen that had busted. 

Brooklyn’s party was at her favorite place to spend fall day and that would be the Johnston’s Pumpkin Patch.  So, we had her party at 2:00.  There we had some family, friends from church and preschool.  The party was lots of fun for everyone.  We got to do a hayride, see and pet the farm animals and pick out pumpkins. 

After the party my parents and one of Brooklyn’s friends came over with her parents and I fixed taco salad and the girls got to play some more. 

Sunday Brent had to grout the tile he put down Saturday.  I had to clean the house from all the party stuff the day before because we were throwing a surprise party for a good friend of ours Sunday night.  We had told this friend Friday night that he and his family were going to come over and have dinner with us for birthday.  So Sunday night we got everyone here before he got here and the surprise party was a success.   

Over the weekend 2 of the girls and I started having this congestion/cough stuff from the weather changing so much.  Which means they are not sleeping well at night and coming into bed with us.  So this means Brent and I are not sleeping well.

So needless to say Monday was a definite recovery day.  I am just glad that I am a stay at home mom and am able to stay home and recover from the busy weekend.  I don’t think I would be a good employee on Mondays after have a busy weekend.  I enjoy getting the older girls to preschool and relaxing with Savannah not having to do much.

Just wanted to give an update about my family. 

Since the last time I posted anything we have a new addition to the family.  We had daughter #3.  Savannah Grace was born June 9, 2009. 

Brooklyn just started her second year of preschool.  She loves going!!  There are two other kids in her class that were with her last year.  She is going three days a week from nine until noon. 

Tori started preschool this year.  Today is only her second day because she only goes two days a week from nine until noon.  She is experiencing stranger anxiety right now so it is hard on her wanting to go in.  She talks about going to school all the time but it take her a while to warm up.

Savannah is now three months.  Where does the time go?  I call her my chunky monkey!  She is not fat but she has more rolls on her arms and legs than either one of the other girls ever had.  She is a happy smiley baby all the time unless she is hungry, sleepy or needs a diaper change.

I am enjoying being a Mommy of 3 girls.  Brent is way out numbered but he is ok with that.

As many of you know I am an Independent Consultant with BeautiControl and do home spas.  Well, in July I did 4 spas.  One of my spas had a retail order of $1100.  That got me so excited about doing more home spas that I have started filling my calender for the month of August. 

BeautiControl is offering hostesses a great bonus if they have a home spa between the dates of July 28 and August 10.  If their home spa retail sale is more than $500 then they get a $100 bonus of free product from BeautiControl.  Plus the hostess gets everything I personally offer for hosting a home spa.  So if you would like to host a home spa or know of someone that would like to have a home spa please let me know.

Something else I have decided to do with my BeautiControl home spas is to treat the Family Support Groups of soldiers in Iraq.  My Dad is in Iraq so I just felt I needed to do something special for these ladies.  I have 2 home spas for these groups.  One in August and one in September.  I am so excited about treating these ladies to a relaxing time.

I am so excited about what BeautiControl has to offer.  I get to show women how to take care of their skin and how to take some “me time”. I also love that with BeautiControl I get to set when I work.  If you would like more information about how you can do this for yourself or other women please contact me.
