Slowing Down

I have just recently started to slow down a little. Everyday I spend some serious time just cuddling with my little guy. It is the best part of my day.

Snow!

Yesterday we had snow! The day before I wore sandals and capris. Isn't Canada wonderful??
Hubs put together my veggie beds on the weekend. Luckily, I hadn't yet got around to putting anything in there. Finally my procrastination served me well. He also put in my clothes dryer. Would you believe that the day before this picture was taken it was full of clothes drying in the sun?

Veggies

A few weeks ago Miss K and I started some seeds for our vegetable garden. It was alot of fun and she enjoys looking in on the pots everyday to see if there are any new sprouts.

We are growing some of our own veggies this year. We are going to use Mel Bartholomew`s Square Foot method. I will keep things updated to show our progress.

The beginning...

I have decdided to keep a blog because lately I have been truly inspired by blogs written by other moms. My hope is that one day, others can be inspired by my blog. Also, I think it will be fun to document this exciting time in my life.

I am a happily married woman (it is still weird calling myself a "woman") with two children. I am currently on my one year maternity leave.

I have a few goals that I am going to pursue over the next little while:
1) Live a healthier, "greener" life.
2) Pay off debt and reduce spending.
3) Find direction for my future (career, education, who knows?)

I have many other goals (weight loss for one) but I think that by striving for the above 3, everything else will follow along. I am planning for this to be a gradual pocess. One thing I have learned about myself is that I will crash and burn if I try to make changes too quickly.

I hope you enjoy reading about my adventure!!
